Far Cry 3

"There's so much content here, it's detailed, engaging, and for the most part it hangs together perfectly."

Hitman: Absolution

"It stays true to the franchise and provides us with a pleasant and suitably frustrating stealth experience."

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two

Warren Spector's Epic Mickey is back.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

"It's made up of some of the most boring missions in the history of the franchise...at times this feels like a pastiche - a parody."

Hotline Miami

"There's rarely more than a split second of difference between life and death. You are always massively outnumbered, enemy reflexes are razor sharp, and death comes quickly."

"Managing the needs of your dwarves is your main task and happiness is definitely the most difficult one to keep on top off."

Need for Speed: Most Wanted

"Whether you're in the middle of an intense race, or just cruising around to explore and find cars and billboards, Fairhaven is a pleasure to drive in."

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams

"If what you want is a good platformer with great ideas and is a challenge, then Giana Sisters is definitely the title to buy."

Medal of Honor: Warfighter

"It's that time of the year when the military shooters come raining in. First up is Medal of Honor: Warfighter."

007 Legends

"If you cut away at all the Bond-specific trimmings, all you're left with is a CoD clone, and not a particularly good one at that."

Doom 3 BFG Edition

Id Software returns with a re-release of Doom 3, but are the tweaks and additions enough to hide its age?

Trials Evolution: Origin of Pain

"You'll quickly remember how much you hated angles of forty-five degrees or more."

WRC 3

"It's a mixed bag - challenging stages and overwhelming co-driver instructions, but lacks the degree of realism when it comes to the driving physics."

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

"The Pandaren are both fun and charming, mixing their zen-like wisdom with a weakness for homebrew."

Xcom: Enemy Unknown

The aliens in Xcom: Enemy Unknown definitely don't come in peace.

Dishonored

The stealth genre receives a valuable new addition in the form of a fresh new IP from the creators of Arx Fatalis and Deus Ex.

Nights: Into Dreams

"Nights stands the test of time and even now, sixteen years later, is still as original and unique as it was on its first release."

Subset's Kickstarted sci-fi roguelike is finally here.

NBA 2K13

"My opponents are killing me. They intercept my passes, steal my ball, catch every rebound. This is annihilation - but beautiful to look at."

Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit

"The protagonist isn't your usual player character; he's a violent little bunny with a penchant for saw blades and mutilation."

Resident Evil 6

"No Hope Left" could be the motto for Resident Evil fans predicting the armageddon of the series, rather than the advertising campaign for Resident Evil 6 teasing the in-game global apocalypse to come.

Rocksmith

"Being able to plug in a proper electric guitar, instead of playing around with colourful plastic buttons, is a step in the right direction."

"War of the Roses is steeped in history, it's deep and it rewards experimentation."

F1 2012

"We're impressed at how inviting this manages to be in comparison to last year's game, making it the strongest entry in the series to date."

Pro Evolution Soccer 2013

"It's a very good game. A return to form for the series then, even if it doesn't go on to win the league."

Borderlands 2

"It's rare for drudgery to set in. And for a game of this size and style, what's even more surprising is that the word 'grind' never enters the lexicon."

Guild Wars 2

"Guild Wars 2 is polished to a level that most MMOs only reach after a few years on the market."

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

"Like Americans going to Japan only to eat at McDonald's when they could have been eating the same burgers at home."

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

"In all, it's the game that fans have been waiting on. It tops the previous game in every way and with a style that makes my inner 10-year-old jump out of joy."

Sleeping Dogs

"This is a violent and particularly rich history of war in the underworld, corruption, morality, loyalty and organized crime."

Darksiders II

"This is a fully playable comic book that's top notch from the beginning to - well, let's say, nearly the end."

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD

"In essence they have kept things as close to the original experience as possible, and frankly, that's not a bad thing at all."

Spelunky

"Because unlike Dr. Jones, our explorer will die. Die a lot...never has the suicide rate been so high in a video game."

London 2012 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games

"London 2012 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games offers a quality experience."

Spec Ops: The Line

"One feels that the choice of genre and setting was chosen because it was how they could best support the story and not vice versa."

Quantum Conundrum

"Whilst the game is clearly aiming at funny, it never quite hits the mark, though it's thoroughly charming, so it's easy to let a few bad jokes slide."

Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013

"It's the crux of the matter that's dogged online gaming the start: but then do card games, by their very nature, excuse extra expense?"

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

"It's got the improved level design, better puzzles, and the wonderful co-operative gameplay we've come to expect..."

Game of Thrones

"Game of Thrones - mature story, adult themes, grand scope - has all the hallmarks of a grand RPG in the making. This sadly isn't it."

SBK Generations

"For newcomers and casuals, it's a tough nut to crack, lacking the entry-level finesse to make it appealing."

Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC

"Congratulations to Rocksteady: it's pulled off the same trick on us for a third time in a row - and it still feels fresh, haunting and funny all at the same time."

Iron Front - Liberation 1944

"You realize how interesting the tactical aspect of this game is, how it shouldn't be confused as an action title: every movement, every shot must be carefully evaluated."

"It is pure arcade racing where the brake pedal is only a formality and careful nitrous usage will send you in the front."
