If action, RPG, punk and youth culture sounds an odd mix, that's because it is.

Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches
"Taken as a whole this is something rare: DLC that adds and builds on the experience in the main game, while still providing a storyline that works on its own."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
"This is clearly the best game in the series that we have seen on this console generation."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Saints Row IV
When you've made one of the silliest games in existence, there's not a lot of places you can take a sequel.

Disney's DuckTales Remastered
"While true nostalgics are better served playing the original on NES there has been a fair deal of love and effort put into this HD-release."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Payday 2
Plan your moves. Control the crowd. Fight the law. Take down the score.

Divinity: Dragon Commander
While Divinity: Dragon Commander may not excel in any one singular area, seen as a whole it still entertains.

Tales of Xillia
Tales of Xillia is absurd, and it flourishes in absurdity.

SteamWorld Dig
We've dug something up on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Turns out it's a diamond in the rough!

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Summer of Arcade is off to a great start with Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

New Super Luigi U
Earlier this year Nintendo proclaimed 2013 to be "The Year of Luigi", and with this DLC Luigi proves there's more than one bro to consider.

Pikmin 3
There are only two possible answers to the following question.

Dark
We step into the shadows and drink some blood in the vampiric stealth game from Realmforge.
Text: Mike Holmes
Dynasty Warriors 8
China's legendary warlords take to the battlefield once more for some high-octane button bashing action.
Text: Jon Newcombe
Ride to Hell: Retribution
We gritted our teeth and pushed through one of the worst games in recent memory. Ride to Hell is exactly what the title suggests.

Game & Wario
Wario brings a wacky game collection to the Wii U, but is it wacky enough?
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Civilization V: Brave New World
The second expansion of Civilization V not only adds new content, but reinvents some of the fundamental mechanics.
Text: Tobias Garsten
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros.
It is often very easy to classify Nintendo as the Japanese giant which makes every game as accessible as possible to appeal to the whole family. Which could be interpreted as "safe and easy".

Deus Ex: The Fall
The Fall is a four to six hour standalone adventure (depending whether you charge through or explore) in the Deus Ex universe that finishes just when it starts to get going.
Text: Gillen McAllister
The Walking Dead: 400 Days
Does this DLC offering from Telltale have enough bite?
Text: Jon Newcombe
Fist Puncher
Team2Bit's ode to the past is good, solid fun. However, baffling omissions and strange additions dampen the experience somewhat.
Text: Mike Holmes
Project X Zone
Project X Zone is a better fan service vanity project than it is a strategy RPG.
Text: Gillen McAllister
Surgeon Simulator 2013
Though the clinical title suggests otherwise, Surgeon Simulator 2013 won't help medical students get their licence.
Text: Jon Newcombe
Deadpool
"Deadpool is a decent fart joke, but comes with a weak stench."
Text: Jonas Elfving
Company of Heroes 2
"While falling far short of the standards set by its predecessor, Company of Heroes 2 is worth a look, despite its flaws."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Rising Storm
"This is a brutal and hellish experience, full of graphic violence, an unparalleled approach to immersion, and a cutthroat difficulty curve."
Text: Mike Holmes
Marvel Heroes
"Our advice is give it a try, after all it's free, and if you enjoy the first hour or so then don't be afraid to invest a little to get the best out of the experience."
Text: Mike Holmes
The Last of Us
"Naughty Dog have brought together these different elements and made them their own to create a masterclass in survival horror."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
"Think of it as less a game, more a life choice. It's a twee game, but don't mistake it for a childish one. It's an addictive, warm-hearted title that deserves to be on your 3DS."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Gunpoint
"Whatever version of Gunpoint you buy, you're in for a treat. Sure it's a fleeting experience, but it's a superbly crafted title with some great ideas."
Text: Mike Holmes
Remember Me
"We really hope that Dontnod will continue making games in this exciting universe, but that they open up their concept from what it is now, and give their players more choice."
Text: Mika Sorvari
Dust 514
"It's not a write-off by any means. It's just not brilliant either, which is a shame, because this is evidently fertile ground, and it could have been a wonderful shooter."
Text: Mike Holmes
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
"The six hour long adventure is just the right size for a digital treat, and Gunslinger is somewhat liberating in its old school approach."

Fuse
"If you've got a bunch of friends who enjoy playing co-op, then Fuse is worth a shot, but there are better alternatives available in the genre."
Grid 2
"Grid was something of a milestone in the arcade racing genre. Grid 2 is a slightly underwhelming sequel that simply fails to live up to the bar set by the predecessor."
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
"Take one of the best and most complete platformers of the last decade, shrink it into the 3DS and add what the original was screaming for. Guaranteed success?"
Resident Evil: Revelations
"Although Resident Evil: Revelations was developed with a portable format in mind, it is still the best game in Capcom's horror series since part 4."
Text: Mathias Holmberg
Thomas Was Alone
"The PC version of this charming platformer passed us by, so when it arrived on PS Vita at the tail-end of last month, it seemed the perfect opportunity to see what it has to offer."
Text: Mike Holmes
Metro: Last Light
We're going deeper underground.

Soul Sacrifice
Keiji Inafune gives PS Vita an action-RPG that flips the rules and could end up a cult classic.
Text: Bengt Lemne
Star Trek
The game to bridge the movies. Is it worth your while or is it yet another case of a licensed game gone wrong?
Text: Martin Eiser
Persona 4: Arena
There are two ways to approach this: you can either love the franchise or be unfamiliar with it. Atlus and Arc System Works knew that and managed to satisfy both audiences.
Text: Ramón Méndez
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Blood Dragon, the new downloadable campaign for Far Cry 3, is blood-soaked parody.
Text: Mike Holmes
Slender: The Arrival
Run away screaming or embrace the darkness?
Text: Jon Newcombe
Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins
"As with previous titles in the franchise, Lego City Undercover is a fun game. But unlike those that have went before, it's not a crazily entertaining one."
Text: Lee West
Monaco: What's Yours is Mine
"It's original, beautifully designed, good looking, well written, challenging, highly playable and deeply immersive. Everything a great game should be."
Text: Mike Holmes
Guacamelee
"Drinkbox Studios' serves up a bowl of Mexican themed Metroidvania with their latest PS3 and PS Vita effort."
Dead Island: Riptide
"This month we took a holiday to the tropical island of Palanai, but when we got there it was full of zombies. Did that stop us having a good time? Well..."
Text: Mike Holmes
Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall
"We return to Dunwall to experience another side to the events that sent the city tumbling out of control. This is side story DLC, and a great one at that."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Injustice: Gods Among Us
"Without the fandom, you're more likely to see the shortcomings of Injustice: Gods Amongst Us."
