Crysis 2 review It isn’t such a technical leap forward as the first game, but Crysis 2 ups the ante with its action-packed gameplay.

Rift review An ambitious take on the classic swords-and-sorcery MMORPG, Rift could be the game that topples Warcraft from top spot.

Nintendo 3DS review A bewildering array of technology in a compact package, the Nintendo 3DS has huge potential.

Gray Matter review We were swept away by this lovely adventure's depth and characterisation

Total War: Shogun 2 review With none of the flaws of recent versions, Shogun 2 brilliantly blends strategy and action in a sumptuously rendered historical setting.

Bulletstorm review In spite of the crude humour and short campaign, Bulletstorm is a fantastic FPS. It’s not big or clever, but it is a whole lot of fun.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds review It's far from subtle, and loses out to sibling Street Fighter IV for long-term tactical appeal

Dead Space 2 review Shocking and certainly not for children, Dead Space 2 is unrelenting but massively fun to play.

Monday Night Combat review A colourful and fast-paced shooter that’s plenty of fun to play, either alone or online with friends.

DC Universe Online review DC Universe Online provides plenty of action-packed fun, although it currently only has a couple of months' worth of play in it.

Artemis review Brilliant multiplayer fun and far more social than most multiplayer games.

Cateia Games Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World review Kaptain Brawe entertainingly captures the spirit of traditional point and click adventure games, even if it doesn't bring anything new to the table.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit review Don’t be fooled by the name, this is a pure arcade racer from the Burnout series.
