Last year Eurocom delivered GoldenEye: Reloaded, an HD remake which was arguably the best James Bond game since well, the original GoldenEye 64. Unfortunately the developer hasn't been able to maintain that trajectory with 007 Legends; an abhorrent 'tribute' to the history of the British super spy that doesn't just take liberties - it takes the piss. At a time when early reports suggest the celluloid Bond is reaching a new high with Skyfall, it's a shame that his video game counterpart has reached his digital downfall. If you're really dying for a Call of Duty-style shooter experience, then sit tight as Black Ops II has likely got more money than God behind it and it's only a month away.

There's plenty to like about Retro City Rampage from its nods to our childhoods to its easy to get behind gameplay to its arcade mini-games, but the story -- the main hook of the title -- just doesn't stand up. Player's quest is just an excuse to get to the next reference, the missions tend to be cheap, and checkpoints aren't forgiving.

Dance Central 3 continues to proves Harmonix is one of too-few developers that understands why Kinect can be special. The track list is varied and playful in a way that works with its terrific, tough story mode, and no matter how much time you spend banging your head against tutorial walls, your effort pays off in spades. The choreography here is complex, as well as diverse in genre, style, and energy – and nailing a routine feels incredible.

Handling aside, the biggest problem WRC 3 presents is that it doesn’t feel like it has any new ideas. From the rewind feature made famous by Codemasters’ racing efforts to the general lack of evolution for the series, it feels like a game made to satisfy licensor demands. It’s a bland and perfunctory experience, one that won’t offend anyone but is incapable of delighting anyone either.

If you've been reading this review and thinking, “This guy just doesn't 'get' Japan,” I implore you to reconsider -- not for the sake of my reputation, but for the sake of your wallet. This isn't about “anime bias”, nor is it about culture shock. We could all argue until we were blue in the face about how things that are taboo here are accepted there or how different their sense of humor is from ours. That isn't the point. I got every joke in Mugen Souls, I just didn't find any of them terribly funny. Whether your tastes align more with the East or the West, poor game design is still poor game design. If you're dying to throw your cash up on the altar to show your support for the localization of niche RPGs, go right ahead. Just remember: I told you so.

Sports games have moved on. New kits and boots aren’t enough to justify a full-price release. Despite adopting the same name, FIFA 13 on Vita is not at all consistent with the console version nor does it function as a satisfying companion game. Ultimately, it’s all frustrating if you own a Vita – the potential of the hardware is not being explored. FIFA 13 should be an essential purchase, a way to continue the same great game while on the move, but instead it’s a cynical cash-in. If you want to play FIFA on your Vita, the best option is to pick up FIFA Football from last year at half the price. IGN's rating system characterises anything between 4.0-4.9 as 'Bad', saying "Something went wrong during development and this egg went a little rotten. There's nothing worse than a game that ends up as "bad" on our scale, because it usually means there was some potential that the developer couldn't live up to." There's nothing inherently wrong with FIFA 13 on the Vita from a mechanical point of view. But something went wrong. EA has chosen not to get behind Sony's latest handheld. The potential of FIFA on a handheld certainly hasn't been realised.

XCOM is a great addition to the strategy genre, complete with an engaging campaign full of tension and challenges. The characters grow in satisfying ways, but the tactical game doesn't ever quite give players enough room to make the most of their abilities.

Playing Cortex Command breaks my heart. With online multiplayer, improved AI, more scenarios and a more fleshed out campaign it could be something truly great, but for now it’s just a number of cool ideas and great looks grafted onto noticeably repetitious level design and sub-optimal local multiplayer. Modding it can extend the enjoyment, but the most basic product you’re purchasing just fails to become anything more than a passing distraction.

It's a shame that Dishonored's story isn't greater than the sum of its decidedly memorable parts, but its gameplay absolutely is. Each mission is built as an elaborate network of choices for players to explore, and the same can be said for Corvo himself. Each player's selection of powers, perks and other upgrades will inform how they see and interact with this world, and no two play-throughs will be exactly the same. Dishonored is a game you'll talk with your friends about, and that you'll want to play multiple times. In this game there are always other paths to be taken and other challenges to conquer, and that's a refreshing thing indeed.

As a licensed product, One Piece: Pirate Warriors passes, and even succeeds. The accuracy with which it apes the look and feel of the show is laudable, and on that strength alone, it probably warrants a purchase from any series fan. Combat-wise, it isn't a lick better or worse than any of the previous Musou games Omega Force has churned out, but if you still find this particular brand of action enjoyable, there's just enough fun to outweigh some of the dubious design snafus. But make no bones about it,: this is Musou by the numbers. You can't get more risk averse than a Dynasty Warriors clone with an anime license attached, and it plays as derivative as it sounds. Someday, someone is going to build action fans the 3D arcade beat 'em up we deserve, but sadly, today just isn't that day.

Each version of Angry Birds Trilogy offers enough extras and enhancements to the base experience that it's certainly reasonable to call Angry Birds Trilogy the definitive edition for Rovio's million-selling titles. But the fact remains that these same games have already sold those millions. No matter how pretty they are on the big screen or how the presentation is re-packaged, it's still re-packaged. And for much, much more money than before. Angry Birds Trilogy is a good compilation with over 600 levels to fling your way through, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. If you've already spent your $2.97 before, you should save yourself the $40 bucks and just go back to your iPhone. If you're absolutely, unhealthily addicted to all things Angry Birds though, feel free to pick up this package. It was only a matter of time before it existed, and now that it does, it is admittedly pretty.

War of the Roses isn’t quite Mount and Blade or Battlefield, but it manages to walk a fine line between the two models to produce an innovative and enjoyable experience. Its mere two gameplay modes and seven maps feel limited and its learning curve might frighten away the most casual players, but its combat feels properly bloody and rewarding, and there’s enough customization available here to stave off any fears of a winter of discontent. There’s a chance that Fatshark will make the price of admission easier to swallow with its promises of regular upcoming content, but, even in its current state, it's one of the best (and only) takes on chaotic open medieval combat.

Pokémon White Version 2 is far more than a traditional mid-generation release, with enough new and repurposed content to keep you occupied for months on end. It offers an addicting, expertly crafted and glorious realization of turn-based role-playing at its best, and functions as the most complete and balanced Pokémon game yet, as well as the full realization of what a 2D Pokémon adventure should look, feel and play like. If you played Black or White - get this game. It's an even more refined version of that already excellent experience, with more than enough "new" to set itself apart. If you're seeking a deep, portable RPG, regardless of whether you’ve ever thrown a Poké ball in your life - get this game, as it’s one of the crown jewels of the genre on the DS hardware. And finally, if you've played Pokémon before and want to experience the richest experience the series has to offer - look no further than Pokémon White 2.

Should you get Worms Revolution? Well, if you’re a lapsed Worms player like myself, then absolutely. It’s the same classic Worms gameplay with (optional) gameplay tweaks and a lovely new coat of paint. If you’re a die-hard fan, then the classes add a new element to multiplayer competition, and make the customisation options even more robust. All told, this is a great game for a great price.
