Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel
"There is not a shred of an original idea or concept anywhere to be found. No vision, no attempt to be anything but forgettable."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
BattleBlock Theater
"The story is absolutely barmy. Narrated with goofy enthusiasm and near perfect comic timing, it's a rollercoater of wackiness that's almost impossible not to fall in love with."

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."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Gears of War: Judgment
"People Can Fly give good Gears. Though a lower tier entry into the franchise, it's not poor imitation."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Tomb Raider
Hot on the heels of Dante's DMC makeover comes Lara Croft's reinvention.
Text: Gillen McAllister
Crysis 3
"Forget waiting for the next generation of graphics to appear: they're here already, and that we can thank Crytek for."

Jonas Mäki
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."
Text: Mike Holmes
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
"The result then is a game that falls short of expectations from both camps, but is solid enough to stand on its own two cyborg feet."
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."
Text: Sara Blake
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."
Text: Mike Holmes
Aliens: Colonial Marines
"Aliens: Colonial Marines fails to alter any of our preconceived notions about licensed video games."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
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."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Anarchy Reigns
There's a focus on playability, salvaging long-forgotten ideas and outfitting them in new designs. A heritage that recalls smoky arcade halls of old."
Text: Viktor Eriksson
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."
Text: Bengt Lemne
DMC Devil May Cry
"Dismiss change, and you're missing out on the debut of a restored classic."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Guardians of Middle-Earth
"The powers of darkness team up with the powers of good on regular basis."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen

Jonas Mäki
Lego Lord of the Rings
"This latest Lego adventure has certainly soaked itself in the RPG genre traditions."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Mass Effect 3: Omega
We return to the mushroom shaped space station at the heart of the Terminus System.
Text: Bengt Lemne
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
"This is a fun, accessible and well-crafted racer that deserves your attention."
Text: Lorenzo Mosna
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."
Text:
Jonas Mäki
Far Cry 3
"There's so much content here, it's detailed, engaging, and for the most part it hangs together perfectly."
Text: Mike Holmes
Hitman: Absolution
"It stays true to the franchise and provides us with a pleasant and suitably frustrating stealth experience."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
Warren Spector's Epic Mickey is back.
Text: Mike Holmes
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."
Text: Mathias Holmberg
WWE 13
"New changes were ushered in last year, and perhaps this is the reason why WWE 13 seems like a game that is still in development."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Halo 4
"343's proved worthy stewards of the franchise, and its the biggest commendation we can give is that we're eager to see them developing their own spin on the Halo universe."
Text: Gillen McAllister
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."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
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."
Text:
Jonas Mäki
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."
Text: Mike Holmes
Skylanders Giants
Spyro and his Skylanders friends are joined by Giants this time around, but is the adventure as fun as the first time around?
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
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?
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Fable: The Journey
"The time has finally arrived for the next chapter in the Fable saga as Lionhead unleash their Kinect-only title."
Text:
Jonas Mäki
Trials Evolution: Origin of Pain
"You'll quickly remember how much you hated angles of forty-five degrees or more."
Text: Gillen McAllister
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."
Text: Gregor Assfalg
Forza Horizon
"Forza Horizon is a fresh take on the genre that offers high quality in almost every regard."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Sonic Adventure 2
"There are definitely some good levels in Sonic Adventure 2, some decent tunes, lots of chao, and it comes at an affordable price."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Xcom: Enemy Unknown
The aliens in Xcom: Enemy Unknown definitely don't come in peace.
Text: Mike Holmes
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.
Text: Mika Sorvari
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."
Text: Gillen McAllister
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."
Text: Gregor Assfalg
Dead or Alive 5
"After having spent the previous month with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 it becomes obvious how dated Dead or Alive 5 feels."
Text:
Jonas Mäki
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."
Text: Mike Holmes
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.
Text: Gillen McAllister
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."
Text: Jonas Elfving
FIFA 13
"It is a near-impossible task for EA to satisfy all FIFA fans, but they should certainly be commended for making a wholehearted attempt."
Text: Jonas Damholt
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."
