Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag preview
Without spoiling things, the end of Assassin’s Creed 3 was fairly definitive in the way it closed down the whole series, so when Ubisoft invited us to take a look at a new Assassin’s game, you can imagine our surprise. First up lets get the truly...

Gaming 5 out of 5Assassin’s Creed III review
Concluding what has to be one of the longest spanning storylines in videogame history, Assassin’s Creed III is the game fans of the series have been waiting for. Set during the American Revolution, a period very rarely featured in games, Assassin’s...

Far Cry 3 preview
Far Cry 3 certainly does things differently. In just 20 minutes of playtime we had taken a load of magic mushrooms, blown away a pack of tigers with a shotgun and flown a paraglider directly into a man's face. Traditionally a game about the open world,...

ZombiU preview (pictures, hands-on, screens and video)
Not only is ZombiU one of our favourite Wii U games, it's one of the best games we saw at E3 2012, full stop. It's gory, scary and completely surprising, considering Nintendo's usual fare. It is also, by far, the best illustration of what the Wii U stands...

Watch Dogs preview (hands-on, screens, trailer and video)
Watch Dogs looks to be the one that E3 2012 was not expecting. Set in a dystopian future, game developer Ubisoft brings us a title that will no doubt draw comparisons with one of its other major intellectual properties, the Assassin's Creed series. And...

Gaming 4 out of 5Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier review
A staple of gaming over the years, war, whether past, present or future, has provided countless hours of gleeful entertainment for hordes of improbable soldiers. It has also provided Tom Clancy with a decent living, and he again lends his name to the...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5Trials Evolution review
Xbox live arcade games are getting so good now that many people are choosing to play them over full-price titles. Last week it was Fez, this time round it's Trials Evolution. The sequel to one of the most enjoyable and addictive titles on the Xbox 360,...

APP OF THE DAY: Rayman 2: The Great Escape review (iPhone)
Rayman 2 is an app that has been available on the iPhone for quite some time, so why are we doing it now? Simple really, Gameloft has gone slightly mad and started shifting a whole selection of its best apps for 69p. This means you can pick up the likes...

Gaming 3.5 out of 5Assassin’s Creed: Revelations review
The Assassin’s Creed games always look like they might be quite enjoyable, all backstabbing and historical intrigue, like a Dan Brown novel for the hard of thinking. In reality though, despite the lush settings, dramatic music and variety of hooded...

Gaming 4 out of 5Child of Eden review
Child of Eden is the sort of game that brings out the worst in reviewers. It's a stunning game - innovative, smart and genuinely beautiful, with dazzling abstract graphics and screen-filling blooms of neon light and colour. Both the visuals and the gameplay...

GamingE3 Quick Play: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier
Ghost Recon Future Soldier is back, well if you count coming in 2012 as back, with a host of new features, a stack of new weapons and a new campaign to master. It's also got Kinect support, and plenty of other treats in store. But should you wait out...

Gaming 3.5 out of 5Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars review
What do you think of when you think of the new 3DS? In your face 3D visuals? The kind of bright, colourful graphics you might expect from the Wii? Slick 3D updates of established favourites, with neat Wi-Fi features bundled in? Yep. Us too. So why is...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood review
Picking up directly where the superb Assassin's Creed 2 left off, Brotherhood is a weird sort of semi-sequel. With mostly the same cast, the same technology and the same period setting, it is not quite different enough to be the third episode in the series,...

Gaming 4 out of 5Your Shape Fitness Evolved review
Let’s set one thing straight from the beginning. Your Shape Fitness Evolved is not a game. Your Shape fires up a white medical-looking interface and you’re standing there looking back at yourself, not a picture of yourself mind you, but a moving shifting...

Gaming 2.5 out of 5Fighters Uncaged review
You’ve got a Microsoft Kinect sensor for your Xbox 360 and are looking to do something more than just stroke cute kittens or drive cars with your hands. In steps Fighters Uncaged, a rather standard fighting game given a Kinect twist - meaning that...
