Uncharted: Golden Abyss - Review
Uncharted: Golden Abyss is the newest entry in Sony's Indiana Jones-inspired action adventure series and the first to make the leap from home console to a handheld device - the brand new PlayStation Vita. And it successfully manages to translate almost all of the magic from the award-winning games released on PS3 to Sony's exciting new portable.

Borderlands 2 - Review
Borderlands 2 doesn't mess too heavily with the successful formula established by the original back in 2009, delivering another customisation-heavy first-person shooter with the questing structure and customisation options of a role-playing game and a big emphasis on co-operative play.

PlayStation Vita and Uncharted Golden Abyss Review
Sony's new handheld games console isn't quite as powerful as its under-the-TV cousins, but it's as close as anyone has ever come. The graphics are sumptuously detailed and silky smooth, pumping incredible detail through the huge 5-inch OLED screen

FIFA Football (PS Vita) - Review
Nobody has ever delivered a fully featured FIFA game for a handheld console - until now. It's becoming a familiar refrain for PlayStation Vita: this - insert name of famous game series - wasn't possible to get outside of home console releases... until PS Vita came along.

Soul Calibur V - Review
Originally released in 1997, Namco's Soul Blade was the first game to bring a knife to a fist-fight. Fast forward and Namco is stepping back into the arena with SoulCalibur V on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. And thanks to a few smart tweaks to the series' traditional gameplay, it's arguably the best Calibur to date.

New Super Mario Bros. U - Review
It wouldn't feel like a proper Nintendo console launch without a little bit of Super Mario. The tubby plumber's the company's greatest mascot - and its most dependable hero. If you're picking up a Wii U on launch day, you won't be at all sorry if you grab this as well.

FIFA 12 - Review
FIFA played the underdog to rival football series Pro Evolution Soccer for a long time, but in the last few years it has widely come to be regarded as the pace-setter in the genre. FIFA rose to the top of the league by subtly tweaking its game to closer resemble the way PES 'did' football, while layering its own mix of official licences and some excellent gameplay innovations over the top to create a match winner.

Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception Review
Gamersexpectations for the sequel to 2009 multiple Game of the Year award-winner Uncharted 2 are understandably sky-high, so it pleasing to report that the latest entry in PS3 flagship action adventure series often manages to stack up to and - on occasion - exceed the genre leading quality bar set by its predecessor.

Forza Motorsport 4 - Review
Forza 4 looks stunning. Cars are bathed in a rich, realistic light, with the tracks displaying the kind of warmth that's previously been absent from the series - the famous Nordschleife has arguably never looked better, while semi-imagined locations such as the Bernese Alps are drop dead gorgeous.

Dragon's Dogma - Review
Dragon's Dogma is a high-fantasy role-playing game from Capcom. The game is pitched as a Japanese take on the western RPG genre, but upon closer inspection it reveals itself to be one of the freshest and most interesting titles in the genre in recent memory.
