Assassin's Creed III - Review
An astonishing achievement on a number of levels and represents the current pinnacle of the series' ambition. This is a different kind of adventure to that of Ezio, but it's no less brilliant. Buy it. Your history teacher will be impressed.

Defiance - Review
It's an ambitious game, more shooter than role-player but no less impressive for the sheer scale of the experience on platforms that have previously made do with small gameplay lobbies

Need For Speed: Most Wanted
Criterion doesn't bother itself with a storyline or protagonist in Need for Speed: Most Wanted, instead doing what it has done best for over a decade: making bar-setting driving games that capture the speed, sound and sensation of bombing around in exceedingly fast cars.

Pokemon Black Version and White Version - Review
Black and White make several small changes to the Pokemon formula that add up, overall, to a significant improvement. The biggest one is a change in the distribution of experience points: monsters now get a far bigger share of EXP when they defeat foes stronger than themselves. This not only evens out the process of building a strong and even team, it makes over-levelling impossible. Grinding - what little there was of it - has been completely eliminated.
