Hands-on: Risen 2: Dark Waters

"There is some drinking, gambling, sneaking, cheating and lots of treasure hunting involved."

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

"Despite the oddity, Resident Evil going the way of Left 4 Dead is an incredibly attractive proposition."

Prototype 2

"Radical Entertainment are doing something very interesting with Prototype 2 from a narrative point of view."

Spec Ops: The Line

"He'll slowly drown in each and every decision made. A flash of bloodied sand dunes vomiting out blackened, crawling figures is still burned into our mind's eye."

Mass Effect 3: The First Hour

"With little more than a word of thanks to staff, we walk out. There's little more to be said: the end of the world is here, and it feels great."

Syndicate: Co-Op Hands-On

"Once more advanced tactics are used in the battles Syndicate co-op stands out as an experience you won't find elsewhere."

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

"In Ghost Recon, AI is what you make it. In three of the four single player levels we play for this preview, we're slowly reintroduced to the idea that 'I' equals team."

Darksiders II

"Compared to the previous game with its open and expansive dungeons this takes things one step further..."

Rainbow 6: Patriots

"They've not been privy to his terror, his fear. The dual perspectives of conflict cast a sense of uneasiness over the situation."

Mass Effect 3

"I'm not sure if it'll ever become natural for me to yell at my Xbox 360, although the results are undeniably satisfying."

Hitman: Absolution

"It's no less a convincing portrayal. With low-grade pixelation filters from the previous title scrubbed, Glacier 2 can finally shine."

MUD

"It's as if Milestone has exchanged the prim and proper dedication of a 9 to 5 for a debauched and wild weekend in the country."

The Last of Us

Hands-on: Binary Domain

"Shoot off the head of one of the many robots you're fighting and it's not long before they're staggering about aimlessly, shooting at their robotic brethren."

Ridge Racer Unbounded

"There's liberal exuberance in its two-ton metallic flings; exciting in its voraciousness, but suitably bizarre in the extremities in which drifts play out."

2012's Most Wanted - Aliens: Colonial Marines

"This is an opportunity for Gearbox to really put itself on the map. All it needs to do is deliver a game worthy of the series. If only it were that simple."

2012's Most Wanted: Prey 2

Our latest Most Wanted for next year is Prey 2: a title that trumps the identikit sequel stylings of many series with something wholly unique and exciting.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

"The action looked a lot like in War of Cybertron, but the variation in levels and bots was much better than anticipated."

I Am Alive

"Visibility is poor, the high density of the air pollutant a killer - excursions below the dust line are high risk, but can yield collectables essential to your survival."

Mass Effect 3

"Seeing all the story threads come together in Mass Effect 3 is going to have a massive impact."

UFC Undisputed 3

"Yuke's took on the criticisms it received and developed a completely new system, which at first feels too hard. Way too hard."

Final Fantasy XIII-2

"It's Terminator with a sexual predator twist...though we're aware that's the cynicism talking."

Hands-on: Syndicate

"Don't expect the old Bullfrog Syndicate, and don't expect Deus Ex and you're likely in for something very entertaining come February."

Hands-on: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

"You're the chosen one, brought back from the dead, to save a world where the mortal races are well on their way towards extinction."
