Saint's Row 4th, Zelda 7th, Need for Speed 11th.

Feature | Pixel Art: The End of an Era?
Top developers take the pulse of the art form that defined gaming.
At a glance, the release of Kirby Mass Attack late last month was an inauspicious event. The umpteenth title in a series that has never really taken flight in Europe on a system recently put out to pasture, it huffed and puffed into the UK DS chart at number 30, just behind something called Horrid Henry's Horrid Adventure.

Review | Mario & Sonic at the London Olympic Games Review

Feature | Retrospective: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
THIEF of time.
On the surface, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening may appear to be an offbeat side-story to the main series. An oddball tale originally released on the Game Boy, it sheds some of the Zelda series' staples and fills the gaps with its own hallucinogenic story that includes more than a few left-field references to the world of Mario.

Digital Foundry | Face-Off: Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Constantinople fruits.
For a game that has been criticised as lacking in innovation, with new features that don't quite hit the spot, it's remarkable that Assassin's Creed: Revelations represents the biggest leap in rendering technology for the series since the arrival of the first sequel. From a technical perspective, it is clearly the most impressive game of the bunch - the high point from a series that in many ways has been defined by its technology.

Feature | Retrospective: King's Field
Where Souls were born.
Dark Souls is considered From Software's spiritual successor to Demon's Souls. And Demon's Souls was deemed the spiritual successor to the King's Field series, which made its debut in the mid-1990s on the PlayStation. We toss around this term "spiritual successor" a lot, mostly when we want to say "sequel" but it doesn't quite fit. A spiritual successor is more interesting, anyway. A sequel is a marketing strategy; a spirit can be profound.

Review | Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Review
The Weapon X Factor.
A couple of months before the less ultimate version of Marvel vs. Capcom launched, a few colleagues and I were given extensive access to a preview build that was lacking in the usual command lists and training modes, but as a bare-bones taster of what was to come, allowed us to experiment with the fresh combat system without any prior guidance. We were simply presented with a colourful select screen and tasked with figuring out the many technical nuances for ourselves.
