Escape Plan
Escape Plan is a frustrating adventure that rarely gets a chance to show its true potential Is it damning praise to say I prefer Escape Plan as a showcase of the Vita's... more

Sniper Elite V2
Sniper Elite V2's heart is in the right place, but its legs have been shattered by the bullet of bloated game design. Sniper Elite V2 won't serve us well in any video game violence debate.... more

Sleeping Dogs
As a package this is as feature-complete as you could want, but it's a long way from the version it could have been. Much like the Hong Kong cinema it lovingly recreates, Sleeping Dogs adheres... more

Resident Evil 6
Resident Evil 6 is not one but four games, and Capcom has done a beautiful and stupid thing in its attempt to recreate a rich, diverse and storied series into one single title. Like the various strains of the mutagenic C-Virus, Resident Evil is a series... more

The Unfinished Swan
This short-lived, artistically-worthy slice of downloadable eccentricity fails on that most crucial of fundamentals – it's just not much fun to play. There's a danger in becoming enamoured with any game that eschews the grit... more

Resident Evil Revelations
Revelations on consoles is a great port of a good game that is well worth picking up. Like the mutated viral strains that inhabit its many undead bodies, Resident... more

Sound Shapes
For all the game's ambition, and for all the whimsy and mirth it is so capable of providing, it falls into the same trap as LittleBigPlanet - excruciating platforming. The Vita is an extraordinarily frustrating console. The tech is there. The... more

Retro City Rampage
The best moments of Retro City Rampage come from a shared enjoyment of the past. Development on Retro City Rampage started decades before developer Brian... more

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Reckoning is a workmanlike interpretation of what makes an RPG tick, placing a spotlight on all the right mechanics and features that most titles struggle to perfect. Back in 2006 baseball's Curt Schilling did the impossible and managed to... more

Devil May Cry HD Collection
At its best Devil May Cry is complex, punishing and befuddling. If you ask me, few games exemplify the PS2-era better than Capcom's Devil... more

Gravity Rush
Gravity Rush is a very enjoyable game despite a few lengthy load times, a terrible name and an unimaginative character introduction Amnesia is an overplayed, clichéd story conceit, so it's a shame Gravity... more

Torchlight II
Torchlight II is up there with the best examples of the genre, but Runic Games makes very little attempt to advance the genre beyond what we were already comfortable with a decade ago. Torchlight II is a game that plays by the rules, and most of those rules are... more

Stealth Bastard Deluxe
Nasty, smart, and addictive, this is perfect for Vita. This year has seen a bit of a stealth renaissance, with games like... more

Dear Esther
The beauty of Dear Esther is that it raises questions about content rather than mechanics. Your left mouse button is useless. It's not needed, and neither is your... more

Lone Survivor
Lone Survivor deserves to be massive, because it might just be the most interesting thing I've played all year. When it comes to indie games, there's one word that always makes me cringe,... more
