With Christmas just around the corner, it’s the busiest time of the year in the video games world – that period when the biggest (and often best) titles are released. And what a month it’s been, with some top titles hitting the shelves, not to mention our review pages. Here they are, all rounded up in one place.
Scroll down to peruse the line-up, and don’t forget you can check out the latest reviews at any time by heading to our gaming reviews page.
PS3
Incredible physics and occasionally beautiful graphics make this a top driving sim, but poor AI and dodgy damage remove some of the shine.
LittleBigPlanet meets Scribblenauts in this puzzler designed for the PS3’s motion-sensitive controller – but a little overpriced.
Xbox 360
Believe the hype. Microsoft’s motion detector turns your whole body into a controller, and does so brilliantly. One of the best gadgets of the year.
Dance Paradise for Kinect review
If you can already dance like Usher, you might be pretty good at this. If you have trouble cutting a rug it could all prove a little too advanced for you.
Think Wii Sports, but for Kinect: casual fun and a blast to play with your friends.
A little too cutesy for the average, ageing and cynical gamer, but five year-olds will adore it.
Not one of the best Kinect games, and certainly not a great one for replay value – but martial arts fans will enjoy the chance to kick and punch their mates.
It might make you look a fool while you’re playing, but this is quite simply one of the best dance games ever. A wonderful social game.
Cross platform
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood review
They’ve only gone and made Assassin’s Creed 2 even better. This expansion is as good as a whole game – and the best in the series so far.
Call of Duty: Black Ops review
An all-action single player campaign and superb selection of multiplayer modes. More of the same, in other words!
