Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 knows what makes it great, and the Total Swing System is an authentic, excellent improvement. The meaningful new controls enable players to feel great about their skill while holding them accountable for their faults. Beyond that, Tiger 13 struggles to succeed. Its most substantial new mode, Tiger Legacy Challenge, is a dull waste, and making the most of the in-game economy is difficult without hardcore dedication to an online Country Club.

Wrecked: Revenge Revisited is a reminder of just how good hanging out with friends and playing multiplayer in the same room can be. It’s certainly not all it could – or perhaps should – be, so we can’t help but be a little disappointed, but ultimately it’s still a blast. We’re going to be playing this in the office for months to come, and that’s a lot more than most multiplayer-focused games achieve. Do yourself a favour and pick this one up. Whether it’s called Mashed or Wrecked is immaterial; either way you’ll be off your face.

If you can’t play online, Armored Core V is rather dry, but if you can, it’s a detailed and substantial mech experience made loads better by the addition of other people. It doesn’t do anything to make the genre more accessible, and you’ll have to be prepared to scale a high entry barrier and deal with its accessibility issues if you want to get into it - but if you do make the effort, you’ll find that this is the best mech game in a long time, one that’s deep enough to satisfy even the most seasoned player. Let’s hope it manages to sustain the active player population that it needs to really shine.

Ever since being announced for PlayStation Network last year, Closure has looked intriguing, but I had no idea just how good it actually was. Now I do. Stylish and engaging, Closure’s thoughtful and pensive approach to the puzzle genre should be applauded. It controls smoothly and looks and sounds great as it both punishes and rewards. It strikes just the right balance that all puzzle games should strive for; something that even untalented puzzle gamers shouldn’t feel frustrated with while engendering a more hardcore, gifted puzzle audience with its own unique set of challenges. But what really stands out to me is that I want to see more of Closure. I’ve gone through over 50 of the game’s 72 puzzles, and even though the review is behind me, the game certainly isn’t. I’ll be back for more, and once you jump in, I suspect you will be too.

I saw Sumioni through four of its six endings, and I had enough. It’s a shame, too, because if Sumioni tried to do less and presented a more linear and coherent gameplay experience, it would have been a much better game. You don’t hear that every day, but in Sumioni’s case, it’s true. Its clever premise is really nothing more than a series of annoying bottlenecks for the gamer, and with so little in terms of in-game diversity, no reasons exist to actually see and do everything unless you’re a dedicated completionist or Trophy hunter. PlayStation gamers certainly appreciate Acquire’s early attempts to bring games to the Vita, and while Sumioni isn’t as big of a miss as its other Vita title -- Shinobido 2 -- it’s not a game worth recommending, either. If you’ve got $20 burning a hole in your pocket, the PlayStation Network already offers Vita players far better alternatives.

Kinect Rush does a good job of capturing the Pixar atmosphere, and is sure to give kids plenty of exercise as they complete the game's mission set. However, the control issues make for an frustrating experience at best and a broken one at worst.

Angry Birds Space's more aggressive pricing and somewhat random physics results are disappointing, but neither issue detracts from the game's overall quality or fun factor. Space takes the basic Angry Birds experience and adds a twist just big enough to once again reinvigorate the franchise.

It's time for a new 2D shooter. Everything fans expect is here in Sine Mora (giant bosses, flashy explosions, serious challenge), but the entertaining time mechanic should prove a welcome surprise. It tweaks the recipe just enough to create an uncommon shooter. The visuals set a new standard for the genre, providing sights heretofore unseen in an arcade shoot 'em up. With a relatively manageable Story Mode and a ridiculously difficult Arcade Mode, pilots of all skill levels should check out Sine Mora.

Is Rayman 3 HD for you? It all comes down to what you want out of an HD re-release. The textures are cleaner, the animation’s smooth, and the humor remains, but gameplay is still rooted in 2003. Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is still a good game and a lot of fun for 800 Microsoft Points, but don’t expect a complete overhaul of a once great platformer.

Given the huge amount of potential the developers of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City had to work with, it's disappointing how little of it was actually realized. On several occasions I was legitimately surprised by the mention of the name William Birkin or the familiar sound of picking up an herb, having long forgotten that this was supposed to be a Resident Evil game. The terrible AI, the lackluster locations and the complete lack of atmosphere or memorable characters destroy what could have been a brilliant offshoot. In the end, Operation Raccoon City is little more than a poor man's SOCOM, and a destitute man's Resident Evil.

Silent Hill HD Collection reminds adults that, like children, they have deep, irrational fears. Silent Hill 2 remains a modern masterpiece, and the HD Collection proves it will stand the test of time regardless of technical or control constraints. Silent Hill 3, while not quite in the league of its predecessor, presents a similarly strong understanding of survival horror. Both are made from the same stuff that gives us nightmares.

Ninja Gaiden 3 is a gash on the face of the franchise and one of the worst games the action genre has yet suffered. It has no consideration for its fans’ wants or what a new audience may have enjoyed. It’s a nightmare that’s as easy as it is uninteresting, and it abandons what used to work for awful new ideas that don’t work together. Under no circumstance should you ever waste your time on this self-indulgent and abysmal wreck.

There’s something to be said for slow-burn strategy games that require precise tweaks and purchases to gain the edge in battle. Unfortunately, Defenders of Ardania lacks these nuances and insists on wasting the player’s time with needless limitations and wave after wave of opposing forces that result in an ongoing stalemate. Sure, one player will eventually triumph, but it all comes down to a lucky break. The concept is cool, but Defenders of Ardania’s balance doesn’t support its innovation.

Compared to the very successful FIFA 12, there’s obviously less depth to FIFA Street. But there’s also a lot more immediate fun to be had. Yes, its highs aren’t as thrilling and its lows aren’t as crushing. There isn’t as the same level of immersion or as many variables to master. Yes, its pleasures are cheaper and more ephemeral, but you’ll keep coming back. FIFA Street is more about fantasy fulfilment: it’s about nonchalantly pulling off audacious tricks, scoring outrageous goals, and humiliating your friends in the process. It exists as both a worthy companion to FIFA – providing a quick, fun multiplayer fix – but also as a primer for those who are put off by FIFA’s precipitous learning curve yet still want to kick around a digital ball with friends.

Shoot Many Robots lives (and mostly dies) by the old idea that the first 30 seconds is what grabs the player. In that time, Demiurge establishes a fun theme in a likable world, and shows the immediate reward for making a mess. What it ultimately comes down to is that Shoot Many Robots grabs hold hard and won't let go while it shoves an overwhelming amount of forgettable, often irritating action down your throat.

Mass Effect Infiltrator’s rote and unexceptional gameplay doesn’t live up to the promise of the game’s gorgeous visuals. Gamers that don’t mind some control frustrations will find a lot to like within the six hour campaign, but there are also plenty of ways the experience could have been spiced up and smoothed out.

Cyber Connect 2's Ninja Storm series is somewhat of a known entity at this point. The developer not only creates a gorgeous replication of the popular Naruto series, it knows how to treat the characters and their stories with respect. In some ways these games capture the essence of the manga better than the anime adaptations do - and they do it while allowing players to create epic battles of their own. The different approach to the single-player story works well, and though it retreads a lot of familiar ground, it never feels like it's wasting time, maintaining a constant focus on Naruto and Sasuke. Subtle changes to the mechanics continue to add layers to the combat, and while this isn't the most nuanced fighter, that's not necessarily a problem - for the most part. Fans of Naruto are no doubt going to pick up Generations, but what's more important is that showing this game to non-Naruto fans will make them understand what makes this franchise so beloved. Hidden below the crazy, numerous battles are some very moving stories about kids trying to find their way in the world - and how their elders struggle to raise and protect them. The heart of the Naruto franchise is stunningly sincere - and somehow this game finds those points and shines a spotlight on them. Powerful stuff indeed, particularly if you just walk into this looking for a casual, addicting fighting game with great graphics - which also describes Generations perfectly.
