Gaming’s ultimate eSport gets a well-considered makeover by the masters at Valve, although new ideas, and fixes for old problems, are currently thin on the ground.
An excellent driving game but one sullied by cheapskate microtransactions. a lack of tracks, and the dubious worth of the Drivatar technology.
Low on innovation but high on spectacle, as the cumulation of the last several years of Need For Speed games the first entry on the next gen is already one of the best.
Some useful improvements to the already solid current gen versions, although the loss of some game modes means it's not the ultimate edition it could've been.
Much more than just a homage, Consortium might be rough around the edges but the dialogue system and freedom of choice rivals that of any other game.
Not one of the best map packs Call Of Duty has ever seen, and yet for some reason one of the most expensive. Being Michael Myers is fun though.
An improvement on the first map pack and not just because of the Predator, but Call Of Duty in general could really do with a change of scenery.
A surprisingly hesitant start to EA's new sports series, in terms of both the amount of content and the disjointed action.
Different but certainly not better, despite the amazing next gen visuals FIFA has never seemed so indecisive and lacking in direction.
There are still a few rough edges to be driven over, but as mild as the improvements are this still makes Forza Horizon 2 one of the best racers of recent years.
A game that should probably have been cancelled rather than delayed, with its complete absence of personality or new ideas.
A far less ambitious sequel than the last two years and most of the headline changes are negative, especially changing your manager into a role-playing character.
A significant improvement on the last generation of Pro Evo games, and for the first time in years PES is more entertaining than the new FIFA.
A relatively promising next gen debut, but it's still missing lots of older features. And even with a few new ones it's hard to think of this as anything but a work in progress.
An uninspiring start to the season, that even fans of the show will find stilted and tedious. Although they can still foster high hopes for later episodes.
An odd mix of Test Drive Unlimited, Assassin's Creed, and Destiny. And while the combination is tastier than it sounds it also has an awful lot of lumps in it.
Another uninspiring episode of nothing but filler and hopes for the future, although that's as much a criticism of episodic content as it is the game itself.
A viable alternative to the old guard of driving simulators, that values freedom of choice and gritty realism over needless feature creep.
Not the revival Carmageddon veterans will have been hoping for, and far too glitchy and unrefined to draw in more casual fans of vehicular violence.
A superb multiplayer game that takes a very simple premise and crafts from it one of the best competitive arcade games in years.
