PGA Tour 2K23 is a decent effort, but one that EA Sports PGA Tour should easily blow out of the water in a few month’s time.

Last Days of Lazarus is a decent little adventure which will take you to places you’ve never before seen in gaming. 

Think of yourself as a Street Fighter, adore the gore of Mortal Kombat, work the roster of Tekken or juggle the Dragon Balls? The Nacon Daija Arcade Stick for Xbox is one that will easily complement your gaming life. 

Little Mage Adventure has got all the challenge and satisfaction of putting the bins out, but thirty times over. 

Perhaps there is an L.O.L. fan in your home who is attracted by the premise and complications, and - even better - they have friends to join them. Because L.O.L. Surprise! B.B.s Born to Travel, when it has all of these ingredients present, can be a generous, sturdy little Overcooker.

What Aery - Last Day of Earth lacks in colour and variety, it makes up for in supreme chilledness and the odd surprise.

The Witch's House first saw light of day back in 2012 as a piece of freeware, before getting a full remaster via RPG Maker MV in 2018 - hence the MV addition to the title. Having now launched on console though, can The Witch's House MV capture the old school Japanese horror vibe it’s going for and scare the heck out of potential gamers? Or is it rather dated, with the scariest thing about it being a host of difficult puzzles lurking within?

The Nano Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox is the latest to come out of the PowerA team, giving Xbox gamers the chance to grip like there is no tomorrow with a smaller than standard Xbox controller.

Kao the Kangaroo was an underplayed gem of 2022, so we would have taken any old reason to come back to it. But the Kao the Kangaroo: Oh! Well DLC really is ‘any old reason’.

Airoheart is nudging the slider past ‘homage’ to see what comes after. It is Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, just without the Past bit.

Winter Games 2023 will be a game that you find yourself playing for an hour or so tops, before the repetitive nature and poor presentation start to properly grate.

Lightwood Games have been serving up word-based puzzle games for quite a while, yet they still appear to be full of ideas in order to continue expanding their POWGI series. The most recent instalment, Sixty Words by POWGI, was possibly their most ambitious to-date with a clever spin on the classic wordsearch. Now though, Letterbox by POWGI has to follow it somehow, but can it deliver another unique word game for us to indulge in?

If you have yet to play any of The Dark Pictures Anthology games, there is no better place to start than at the very beginning with Man of Medan; even more so now that it is optimised for Xbox Series X|S.

Puzzle by Nikoli W Akari has landed on a new brand of puzzles that feels utterly timeless, and fiendishly difficult to boot. If the world has any sense, they will ditch Wordle and start imploding their minds with these Sudoku-Minesweeper hybrids.

Dragon Prana is pretty much business as usual for KEMCO - expect a retro style and a decent story, and you’ll not be far from what makes these games tick.
