EA Sports UFC 5 is probably the best iteration EA have made. It embodies the essence of the sport, which makes it easy to recommend for both seasoned fans and newcomers alike.

Quake II Review

Quake II is a great value package, well priced and showered with love and care. It may not go on playlist rotation, but it’ll be hard to turn down a game of Quake II when asked.

F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch Review 

F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch is not the best Metroidvania out there, but in a sea full of them, this would definitely be swimming close to the top. That is all thanks to its fantastic combat, upgrade system and setting.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Review

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is special - a game that needs to be experienced by all at least once, it is one of the finest puzzle games you will ever play.

It probably goes without saying, but if you don’t like chess, you won’t like Chess Infinity. But if you fancy learning the game, or think of yourself as something of a Grandmaster already, then you’ll get a lot out of what it offers.
