Building on the foundations of the previous game, New Vegas gives players an all new part of the end of the world to explore. Glitches and outdated technology can’t take the shine off this fantastically enjoyable action RPG.

Spider-Man returns in four different incarnations, each with their own spider abilities. The game tries to pull off a lot of tricks in a small space and almost manages it. A very solid and enjoyable action adventure let down only by shallow writing.

If you come out of your egg, this game will offer you a sci-fi journey to the future, filled with exciting robot battles, epic set pieces, memorable characters, and incredible environments. Apparently, Chinese folk tales make amazing games.

Definitely Super Mario on the Wii, but hardly new, Nintendo’s latest doesn’t deliver anything spectacular or original. It does, however, have the usual solid gameplay and potential for crazy-fun multiplayer sessions.

Dead Rising 2 is ridiculous, violent and great fun. It isn’t a perfect game, but it manages to pack so much variety into such a simple concept that whatever you choose to do you’re bound to enjoy yourself. The ultimate zombie killing simulator.

Just like its main character, Mafia II is conflicted. A linear structure and lack of sideline activities stop it from becoming the sprawling sandbox it wants to be, but colourful characters, a fascinating narrative and gorgeous environments make this an offer not to refuse.

You are an evil teddy bear that kills other teddy bears. With a concept so drenched in cuteness and violence, Naughty Bear had the potential to be video gaming gold. Unfortunately the real victim is you, the person who paid good money for this game.

Beyond all reason, Transformers: War for Cybertron has an entertaining story, well-designed combat, excellent co-op and intense multiplayer. This is probably the closest you will get to being a giant robot death machine.
