Fist Puncher

Team2Bit's ode to the past is good, solid fun. However, baffling omissions and strange additions dampen the experience somewhat.

Surgeon Simulator 2013

Though the clinical title suggests otherwise, Surgeon Simulator 2013 won't help medical students get their licence.

Deadpool

"Deadpool is a decent fart joke, but comes with a weak stench."

Company of Heroes 2

"While falling far short of the standards set by its predecessor, Company of Heroes 2 is worth a look, despite its flaws."

Rising Storm

"This is a brutal and hellish experience, full of graphic violence, an unparalleled approach to immersion, and a cutthroat difficulty curve."

Marvel Heroes

"Our advice is give it a try, after all it's free, and if you enjoy the first hour or so then don't be afraid to invest a little to get the best out of the experience."

Gunpoint

"Whatever version of Gunpoint you buy, you're in for a treat. Sure it's a fleeting experience, but it's a superbly crafted title with some great ideas."

Remember Me

"We really hope that Dontnod will continue making games in this exciting universe, but that they open up their concept from what it is now, and give their players more choice."

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger

"The six hour long adventure is just the right size for a digital treat, and Gunslinger is somewhat liberating in its old school approach."

Grid 2

"Grid was something of a milestone in the arcade racing genre. Grid 2 is a slightly underwhelming sequel that simply fails to live up to the bar set by the predecessor."

Resident Evil: Revelations

"Although Resident Evil: Revelations was developed with a portable format in mind, it is still the best game in Capcom's horror series since part 4."

Thomas Was Alone

"The PC version of this charming platformer passed us by, so when it arrived on PS Vita at the tail-end of last month, it seemed the perfect opportunity to see what it has to offer."

Metro: Last Light

We're going deeper underground.

Star Trek

The game to bridge the movies. Is it worth your while or is it yet another case of a licensed game gone wrong?

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

Blood Dragon, the new downloadable campaign for Far Cry 3, is blood-soaked parody.

Slender: The Arrival

Run away screaming or embrace the darkness?

Monaco: What's Yours is Mine

"It's original, beautifully designed, good looking, well written, challenging, highly playable and deeply immersive. Everything a great game should be."

Dead Island: Riptide

"This month we took a holiday to the tropical island of Palanai, but when we got there it was full of zombies. Did that stop us having a good time? Well..."

Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall

"We return to Dunwall to experience another side to the events that sent the city tumbling out of control. This is side story DLC, and a great one at that."

Lords of Football

"This is a title that combines some aspects of the simulation and management genres, all within a framework that reminds me of some God games."

Evoland

"Initially the game is two-tone, similar to the original Gameboy. An early chest transforms the world into colour, by the end characters are 3D models traversing glorious HD."

Shootmania Storm

"The sporty feel to the action is a breath of fresh air in a genre crowded by gritty modern-day shooters and fantastical sci-fi sagas."

Rhythm Destruction

"Think Dance Dance Revolution meets Ikaruga, and you're close to understanding what Rhythm Destruction is all about."

Anodyne

"It keys into the 16-bit days of action adventures and RPGs...and echoes Link's Awakening in terms of gameplay and style."

Cart Life

"Those who love it will love it, but the rest will likely despise it for all its problems, of which there are many."

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct

Want to read about the worst game of 2013 (so far). Come right ahead, and hold your wallets close.

Bioshock Infinite

"The first Bioshock was one of the best games of this generation. In comparison, Infinite feels like a quantum leap."

The Showdown Effect

"Skill is the bedrock on which the game is formed: you'll get short shrift without it."

Sim City

"After a decade on the sidelines Sim City finally makes its return."

Tomb Raider

Hot on the heels of Dante's DMC makeover comes Lara Croft's reinvention.

Crysis 3

"Forget waiting for the next generation of graphics to appear: they're here already, and that we can thank Crytek for."

ACIII: The Tyranny of King Washington

"The new abilities definitely add something to the Assassin's Creed formula, but at the same time they also take away."

Omerta: City of Gangsters

"Like a bad batch of bootlegged booze, Omerta: City Of Gangsters really feels like it needed a little more time to brew."

Bit. Trip Presents Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien

"All of the various strands coming together - the fiendish challenge, the art style, the rhythmic music - makes for an intoxicating experience."

Dungeonland

"Dungeonland is a game that wants you to die. It wants you to die hard and it wants you to die often."

Aliens: Colonial Marines

"Aliens: Colonial Marines fails to alter any of our preconceived notions about licensed video games."

Dead Space 3

"Lacking the pacing to make for a successful horror, and with combat mechanics not built for straight action, the game doesn't impress in either."

Antichamber

"At other times the floor can dissolve, sending you falling like Alice down the rabbit hole."

Strike Suit Zero

"Strike Suit Zero is fast and frantic, and at its best it's a hugely enjoyable space shooter."

The Cave

"It makes good use of simple and proven mechanics, and while it's a platformer on the surface, it's an adventure game at its core."

DMC Devil May Cry

"Dismiss change, and you're missing out on the debut of a restored classic."

Planetside 2

"The initial barrier to entry will be sizeable enough to discourage some gamers, but for those who persist, an experience like no other awaits."

Lego Lord of the Rings

"This latest Lego adventure has certainly soaked itself in the RPG genre traditions."

Mass Effect 3: Omega

We return to the mushroom shaped space station at the heart of the Terminus System.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

"This is a fun, accessible and well-crafted racer that deserves your attention."

Mr.Torgue's Campaign of Carnage

"It's well worth paying a visit as Gearbox continue to prove that they best understand how DLC should look, work and cost."

Far Cry 3

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