Recommended: Halo 4 – Xbox 360
This one is easy to recommend. While we’re not quite sure if Halo 4 betters the original Combat Evolved, there’s no doubt that this is one of the finest video games released this year. Halo 4 is a triumph of big budget video game making, and is sure to please fans who were worried about how the series would survive without Bungie at the helm.
Worth a look
LittleBigPlanet Karting arrives at a tricky time, what with Halo 4 taking all the attention, but its tidy arcade racing and creation suite should help it find some fans.
