Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

Average User Score: 8.7

User Score 9

Hands down, one of the best games on DS. Ghost Trick is completely brilliant from start to finish- with great puzzles, fantastic characters, an engaging story and a truly awesome ending. Each character is fully realised, and everyone has a part to play in this stellar tale. The puzzles can be a bit hit and miss occassionally, but you'll forgive it, if only because it's so utterly likeable.… Expand

Mass Effect 2

Average User Score: 8.9

User Score 10

Mass Effect was...pretty good. But the level design and planet exploration sections were pure dump, and so BioWare had something to improve on. So they did. And they improved everything else as well, just for good measure. ME2 is a fantastic tale, using the traditional Dirty Dozen formulae and making it work. Each character is brilliantly realised, each location fullly immersive, each battle exciting and frantic. ME2 has only one flaw, which is the weak shooting. Guns just don't feel good, and as solid as other aspects of the combat are, the shooting just ain't up to scratch. But that's a minor complaint really, because ME2 is, in many ways, amazing.… Expand

Gears of War 3: RAAM's Shadow

Average User Score: 7.4

User Score 8

Raam's Shadow is mostly Gears at it's best. Tight, gripping firefights, without any of that set-piece nonsense. At it's worst, you are General RAAM, locust general and fleeting novelty. Shredding COG's is at first quite fun, and his brutal executions are gratifyingly satisfying, but the funs over in about 10 minutes, and these bits drag on and on. The sections where you play as the COG are better, partly thanks to level design, prtly thanks to super solid shooting. Raam's Shadow is a bit pricey, but worth getting. It's about 3 hours long, but it's a great 3 hours.… Expand

Gears of War 3

Average User Score: 7.5

User Score 9

I absolutely love this game. The shooting is fantastic, it has a satisfying amount of gore and the guns just feel great. Story wise it's fairly weak, but the moment to moment story telling is strong. The multiplayer and horde modes are much better now, but the new Beast mode doesn't quite feel polished enough. Overall though, this is a fantastic package.The cracking single and multi player modes mean this is well worth getting.… Expand

Batman: Arkham City

Average User Score: 8.4

User Score 10

Arkham City has a lot of pressure to deliver, as Batman: Arkham Asylum was one of the best games of the generation. And in almost every way, Arkham City delivers. Pretty much every villain ever, lots of wonderful new toys, genius Predator maps. In fact, once you really get into Arkham City, there's no returning to Arkham Asylum. You get so good with these new tools, AA's Batman feels ill-suited to the job. The story isn't quite as tight as Asylum's however, with villains in their many not fulfilling their potential. The ending is also fairly weak besides the very last gasp: a shocker that changes Batman himself. But, overall Arkham City is a super sequel, and improves on the previous game in almost every way.… Expand

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Average User Score: 8.4

User Score 10

Skyrim is an amazing, jaw-droppingly vast RPG, with spells, swords, axes, quests and monsters galore. It isn't perfect (but what is?) thanks to repeated phrases and voice actors. And like all Bethesda game, it's got a crap-ton of glitches. BUT, Skyrim is very, very big, and it's only matched by it's quality. A trip down a forest with a talking dog. A quest reminiscent of The Hangover. Epic Dark Brotherhood questlines. Skyrim packs a lifetime of content into one game-giving astonishing value for money. The Xbox 360 game of the year.… Expand

Saints Row: The Third

Average User Score: 7.7

User Score 9

Saints Row: The Third succeeds at one thing: sheer fun. It's not as polished or as good as GTA IV, but it's significantly more zany. Fighter jets, apocofists, **** bats, cyber demons, hover bikes-it's ridiculously over the top stuff, but it's definately enjoyable. The main campaign is littered with filler-missions, but the core missions themselves are brilliantly mad yet enjoyable shootouts. The games take on Gears Of Wars Horde mode, titled Whored Mode, is a load of crap, but it;'s a funny load of crap. It's retains the generally lack of sanity found in the main game, but focuses on the simple but fairly weak shooting. All in all, it's a more polished Saints Row 2, with loads more stuff, prettier graphics, and a laser firing fighter jet. Essential...if you can forgive it's flaws.… Expand

Bookworm (DSiWare)

Average User Score: tbd

User Score 8

Bookworm is simply perfect for DSiWare. Fun to play in short bursts, but fiendishly addictive. There's isn't much meat to the simple DSiWare version, but for just over £4, it's hard to argue. Definately worth getting, and will keep you coming back...forever. Well, NEARLY forever.… Expand

Freakyforms: Your Creations, Alive!

Average User Score: 8.4

User Score 8

The exploration? Weaksauce. Platforming? A fiddly affair, but it does make use of the touch screen. Creation? Excellent. Nabbing other peoples creations via QR codes? The real meat of the game. For just over a fiver, you can sort of forgive it's shortcomings, but when it has such potential in the character creation system, all is forgiven. Well, almost.… Expand

Minecraft

Average User Score: 6.9

User Score 10

Originally, Minecraft didn't deserve the criticisms thrown at it. 'Lame graphics'-nah. There delightfully retro, and look great in this decidedly modern world. But, after the game FINALLY got out of beta, it's now been criticised of not fulfilling it's enourmous potential. I'd argue it's done a lot-massive, devoted community, multiple biomes, tons of blocks. This isn't the end of Minecraft though. It will continue to be updated. Improved. Refined. It rocks all kinds of awesome now, but in the future, it will be unstopable. Er, just don't hold your breath.… Expand
