Ace Combat: Assault HorizonScore

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon

"No long-range strikes, not even air-to-air missiles. Instead, we've got the dogfighting version of melee attacks, up close and very personal."

Skyward Sword: the first three hours

Skyward Sword: the first three hours

"It's perhaps a self-referential nod to the franchise's twisted and confused timeline. If so, it's a clever, and knowing, wink between Nintendo and its fans that'll delight."

God of War Collection: Volume II

"There should remain no doubts that Ready at Dawn are true wizards when it comes to pushing the PSP hardware"

Red Bull X-Fighters

"There is no reason to look closer at Red Bull X-Fighters, but every reason to check out Joe Danger and Trials HD."

X-Men: DestinyScore

X-Men: Destiny

"The game has a number of fairly decent ideas that emphasise the "action" of the action-RPG framework. However, all are implemented only half-heartedly."

Syndicate

Syndicate

"This is a game that's captured the mood and world from the original, but not the gameplay..yet so far that's looking to be a good decision."

Burnout CrashScore

Burnout Crash

"Criterion have taken the popular crash mode from their Burnout series, turned it on its head and added all sorts of crazy ideas."

FIFA 12Score

FIFA 12

"FIFA 12 feels more heavy-handed than its predecessor, but remains very capable of portraying the beautiful game."

Forza 4: Respect, Culture and Kinect

"We respect gaming culture and respect car culture. We have a very broad approach without sacrificing either side."

Renegade OpsScore

Renegade Ops

"You're travelling from A to B unloading whatever guns, bombs and destruction you can on the way. Contra on wheels? From the explosion count, it could well be."

Rise of NightmaresScore

Rise of Nightmares

"Implementation of Kinect is at times both daring and sometimes remarkable. The game takes a few confident steps in the right direction, but stumbles all too often."

Diablo III

Diablo III

"This is not a game like Diablo. It is Diablo. For connoisseurs of the series, that's likely the best praise one can give to the title."

F1 2011Score

F1 2011

"It's a game that captures the racing spirit, and gives the right amount of feedback. Rarely has it felt so rewarding to master a corner or pull off an overtake."

The GunstringerScore

The Gunstringer

"We really shouldn't have doubted retail pressure, or new tech, would have humbled or hindered the studio in any way."

The Secret World

The Secret World

"The game, set in a contemporary world, has an intriguing premise: all the myths, conspiracies and tales of the extraordinary that we have all heard, are very real."

Darksiders II

Darksiders II

"Playing as Death offers something different to his brother-in-arms: he's agile, fast, and has no qualms in using more extreme measures if they achieve results."

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus CollectionScore

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection

"While neither game can claim to be as unique and spectacular as when they were first published there's a magic to both that is still seldom seen today."

Dead IslandScore

Dead Island

"Later escort missions are troublesome, as it feels as though Techland has equipped the NPCs with the same artificial intelligence as the zombies by mistake."

Warhammer 40,000: Space MarineScore

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

"That unrelenting action, that sees you pinball between rucks, is gratifyingly fun due to the emphasis on melee over gunplay."

Resistance 3Score

Resistance 3

Resistance 3 isn't perfect: but its faults are few enough that we'd recommend this death-ridden jaunt across America to anyone clutching a PS3 controller this autumn."

Aliens: Colonial Marines

Aliens: Colonial Marines

"While not completely enthusiastic by what we've seen - more due to sensory exhaustion than anything - we leave the presentation feeling cautiously optimistic."

Driver: San FranciscoScore

Driver: San Francisco

"Even if Shift initially raises doubts, the mechanics works much better than we had expected - and about a million times better than the unfortunate on-foot sections of Driver 3."

Best of Fall: Arkham City

"Why are we excited? One simple fact: three months before release, the game's finished. The studio is simply spending the time until launch polishing it to perfection."

"There is still a touch of arcade in the dribbling, and the passing feels incredibly smooth. The controls feel extremely natural, almost like liquid."

Resistance 3

Resistance 3

"The brightest exploit the terrain, and try to flank you or flush you from cover using grenades. This tide of battle - constantly shifting- is intoxicating."

Captain America: Sentinel of LibertyScore

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty

"Despite the shield-slinging and heavily patriotic tone, Cap plays like EA's iPad version of Mirror's Edge. This is no bad thing."

Dishonored

Dishonored

"The central idea is that instead of coal and steampower, the era of industrialism was brought on by giant whaling ships."

Call of Juarez: The CartelScore

Call of Juarez: The Cartel

"All hints of a serious story are thrown out the window as some Rambo-inspired warfare against drugs, complete with cheesy dialogue, begins."

9mm

"No matter what you think about John Kannon and the other GTA-stereotypes present here, you will find an entertaining - but short - single player and a fantastic multiplayer mode in 9mm."

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2Score

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

"A couple of small improvements doesn't help hide the fact that this is a shooter that lacks ideas with the Harry Potter brand tacked on."

F.E.A.R. 3Score

F.E.A.R. 3

"A labyrinth of blinking flat-screens, old storage rooms where pigs are hanging side-by-side with human corpses. At those times F.E.A.R. 3 seems like everything we hoped for."

Alice: Madness ReturnsScore

Alice: Madness Returns

"Alice: Madness Returns is a nice platform game. It's not without its problems, but the mechanics are good enough that fans of the genre should give it a try."

Infamous 2Score

Infamous 2

"But the biggest problem with Infamous 2 isn't technical. Where the first game had a tight story, that focused on Cole and his powers, it's all over the place in the second game."

Bodycount

Bodycount

"Bodycount doesn't focus on laying buildings to waste, like in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Instead breaking down the cover your enemies might hide behind is a strategic element."

"If you're facing a giant abyss, you don't need to be worrying. You're Batman with a snowboard buddy. You and that hoversuit of yours are going to fly - or at least fall in style."

Dirt 3Score

Dirt 3

"It's quite obvious that Codemasters have wanted to make a game that on all accounts beats the rest of the genre, and that's something that they've partially succeeded with..."

Darkspore

"Darkspore ends up being a classic hack n' slash held back by too much micro management and the need to grind for gear."
