Despite the ridiculous premise, PopCap has managed to successfully translate an addictive casual strategy game into an expertly crafted tower defence third-person shooter that offers up a refreshing alternative to the likes of Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty. Displaying a careful balancing act between large open environments and more confined locations with a range of vantage points, PopCap utilises the Frostbite 3 engine to deliver large colourful maps backed up with some solid visual effects made possible by DICE's state-of-the-art rendering tech, including limited destructible scenery. The game also works well as an online experience, pulling players together as a team, and the net code appears solid - PopCap doesn't seem to be facing the wealth of issues that spoiled DICE's otherwise excellent Battlefield 4.

Between the success of last generation's HD re-releases and the need to populate the Instant Game Collection available to PlayStation Plus subscribers, Sony has certainly had a lot of incentive to revisit its back catalogue of late. We've already seen PS4 iterations of Flower, Sound Shapes and Escape Plan hitting at or near launch, but most of these releases have focused primarily on expected image quality and performance improvements. It's not often that such ports receive any significant changes to their core assets, but it seems that the crew at Climax Studios wasn't content with a direct port when it came to Dead Nation.

Microsoft has pledged to improve its Games with Gold programme and make it "more true" to what people might expect from the service.
