From Dust is a different kind of god game. In most examples of this rarefied strata of strategy game - including its closest relative and direct inspiration, Peter Molyneux's classic Populous - the player-god is a blend of accountant, general and town planner who manages resources, shapes cities, counts off prayers and wars with rivals. A manager, in other words; a director of human affairs.

Rayman Origins doesn’t take an old school approach to game design merely because it’s a 2D sidescroller based around an aging Ubisoft mascot. It’s old school because it’s hard. Not Demon’s Souls hard, perhaps, but it would still rather send you to your doom than provide you with a glowing breadcrumb trail or one of those last-minute rewind getaways beloved of The Prince of Persia. You’ll die in Rayman Origins, and you’ll die quite a lot. You’ll get over all that, though, because the game is so precise, and because it’s so joyfully intricate.

BioWare hopes massively multiplayer online game Star Wars: The Old Republic will last for decades.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein comes at that time of the year when we're all itching for a new action game as the nights draw longer and the weather takes hold, and it's a bit of a stunner. I'm sure a lot of gamers crying out for a new online fixation will buy Return To Castle Wolfenstein purely on the strength of the multiplayer test demo. The RTCW single player game is a solid albeit extremely linear experience, with plenty of atmosphere thanks to the significant attention to detail and excellent visuals. The game is based on the Quake III engine, but from the opening levels, where developers Gray Matter have crafted a fortress to rival the one in Where Eagles Dare, to the final gory conclusion, the journey is decked out in a whole new wardrobe. The game boasts some of the most impressive models and texturing we've seen to date, the guard and weapon animations flow gracefully and, with a couple of exceptions, every little item in or around the room can be poked or manipulated in some way. Fortunately there's more to it than pretty pictures though. Your quest concerns the story of a mysterious evil buried near Castle Wolfenstein. The Nazis intend to unleash a warrior of demonic powers and his unlikely hellspawn, and it's your job as a secret Allied operative to deal with the problem. After your partner is sliced and diced in the torture chamber, you have to break out, rendezvous with local resistance and try and force your way back into the reckoning. The story is told through various paper clues hidden in the game, the guards' conversations and in-game cutscenes that appear between levels. The game's opening scene is fairly exciting, but for the most part from there on in it's some fat Churchill-alike and his Allied commanders propping up a desk in a cushy office, which needless to say is a mite boring when you get the same rambling prose on the next page's mission brief.
