Borderlands: Double Game Add-On Pack
Borderlands was the highly-rated first-person adventure shooter from 2K and Gearbox that placed the player in a full-on, ideally multi-player co-op, environment of survival, action and hardcore weaponry. One of the problems with it was that it came to an end. Well, the Borderlands Double Game Add-on is the answer.
This pack combines the currently available - by download only - add-ons for the game: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and Mad Moxxi' Underdome Riot.
Thankfully, as the name suggests, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned comes with genuine zombie action. Basically, the evil doctor Ned has created a hideous selection of creatures in order to work at Jakob's Cove. However, rather than destroy the Doc, it's up to the player to work with him in order to bring an end to the zombies and other vile creations. This is, of course, not as simple as it looks. There are brand new quests to take your fully tooled-up characters through, and these quests are packed with the undead and their cohorts. The questing is made more challenging for the Borderlands loving gamer by the sparsity of loot to pick up along the way.
Once you're done with the doctor and his nasties, it's time to move onto the Underdome. Yes, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot is of course a homage to the Mad Max Thunderdome movie. Play this in single-player or cooperative. Play it in three new Riot Mode arenas into which Pandora has poured even more vicious foes to battle with. Co-op mode will provide the chance to team-up for loot, honour (well, loot) and ultimately survival. You will need to make the most of the new Banking system as well.£7.99 -
Dark Souls II
Demon's Souls really established FromSoftware's reputation as a developer that wants to take your sense of hope and gnaw on it using the jaws of zombified rats. Dark Souls, the game's spiritual successor, took that and ran with it. Now the developer is back once again with a sequel in both name and spirit.
The game features a new world, new storyline and an unfamiliar world steeped in death and despair. Expect the same uncompromising difficulty, the same epic boss battles and the same incredible sense of empowerment that comes with triumphing against the odds as the first game. Don't, however, expect something quite so straightforward as a re-skinned version of Dark Souls.
The game's online has been made a little more approachable this time out. Voice chat is now supported and by aligning yourself with certain in-game gods you'll be able to summon friends to help you lay waste to whatever particular beast is challenging your will to live.
You can also now travel between bonfires right from the outset of the game and the health system is a little more forgiving, with life gems complementing the flasks of the last game. Don't despair that FromSoftware has gone soft, however, as you'll lose a little more of your life bar every time you die.
The world is perhaps not quite so bleak as those of past games, but it does offer up its own sights to bear witness to. An eerie village sits at the sea shore, with desperate locals trying to pedal their wares, while a tangled, ruined castle lurks at the heart of the forest.
So, Dark Souls II is not quite the same beast as the first game. Did anyone want that, though? It's still a fiendishly difficult game set in a rich, brutal fantasy world. And there's still plenty of dying to be done.£12.99 Buy Now -

Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition
Thankfully the wait between Diablo III and this expansion, Reaper of Souls, wasn't as long and torturous as between the previous two games. As an addition to the epic threequel, Reaper of Souls offers up more story, new environments, a raised level cap and a whole new class of character.
Given that you (spoiler alert!) dispatched Diablo at the end of the main game, a new villain is in order here. Developer Blizzard has, of course, obliged. Malthael, the fallen Archangel of Wisdom, disappeared after the goings-on of Diablo II. In Reaper of Souls he returns, this time as the Angel of Death. He seizes the Black Soulstone, which contains the pure essence of the Prime Evil and begins to rain hell on the world.
Your first taste of the world in question is in the burning city of Westmarch. You'll fight your way through mystic ruins, tangled swamplands, eerie cemeteries and strange battlefields. While there isn't a huge number of new environment types, the ones there are are of a decidedly different flavour to those in the main game.
If you're looking to change up how you play a bit, too, there's a new character class on hand to help out. The Crusaders are warriors that have been on a centuries-long quest to burn out the corruption blighting their Zakarum faith. They wear heavy armour, wield cruel weapons and use magic to strengthen friends and weaken foes. In short, they're natural tanks.
There's also good news for those wishing to focus on their existing party - Reaper of Souls raises Diablo's level cap to 70.
The Ultimate Evil edition on console offers gamers the chance to play with up to three other friends on screen at once, or remotely over the network. The new Apprentice mode also boost low-level friends' powers while playing with high-level friends, and an in-game mail system allows them to share treasures.
The Ultimate Evil edition packs all the punch of the PC version, but optimised to run on the big screen in your living room.£19.99 -

Fable III
Okay, star UK game studio Lionhead returns with the third in the Fable series and with them comes a stellar cast including Stephen Fry as Reaver, John Cleese as Jasper, Simon Pegg as Ben Finn, Jonathan Ross as Barry Hatch and Michael Fassbender as King Logan.
If the cast is not impressive enough, the game has been tweaked, improved and the whole idea of a role-playing game as been turned on its head. Rather than starting off as a weak and friendless hero who must defeat the tyrannical ruler, and then the game ends, Fable III sees the gamer moving on and becoming the King himself. That's when things get really interesting.
It is then the player's task to decide whether they want to be a benign leader of a happy land, or the kind of evil tyrannical leader that traditional heroes set out to defeat. This means that there is an awful lot of decision making the be done along with way, and this is where the gameplay comes in.
The game is – intriguingly – also set 50 or so years after Fable II. Although it plays out in the familiar territory of Albion. The game makes the player actually follow up on promises made to the people he or she was recruiting in order to gain the throne in order to maintain their love and support. In the background to the local politics and intrigue is the fact that a new country – Aurora – is rising as a possible enemy in war.
For gamers who want more than plot, intrigue and decision making, levelling up of weaponry and abilities are in the mix; as is the Extreme Emote system. This enables the player's character to reveal their real souls (demonic, angelic) to NPCs. These are combined with the ability to morph armaments for a rounded, combat-filled RPG.£4.99 -

Final Fantasy XIII
Several years in the making, Final Fantasy XIII is a testament to the sheer production value Square Enix puts into its flagship RPG series. A labour of love for almost everyone in the company, this instalment in the franchise takes equal inspiration from its last game, Final Fantasy XII and decade-old classics such as Final Fantasy VII.
Starring a female character called Lightning, the game is set in the future where the world is divided into two significant areas – Cocoon, a paradise high in the sky which knows only peace and prosperity; and Pulse, the dark, dingy and dangerous lower world. Long ago mankind was blessed with the presence of the fal'Cie, who decided to watch and protect over the world.
However, peace and tranquility on Cocoon was not to last. After one renegade fal'Cie wakes from its slumber, humans are cursed by the fal'Cie, turning them into magic-wielding servants. These became l'Cie – pawns chosen by the fal'Cie to bring chaos and destruction.
Gameplay uses a combination of turn-based action and new real-time elements such as Paradigms, which allow players to assign roles to party members at any time in combat. The Active Time battle system provides the freedom to execute several different commands in a single turn using an action gauge with multiple command slots.
Add to this a usual mix of interesting characters, a twisting storyline and all-new Summons to kick the snot out of your foes, and you have one action-packed RPG.£14.99 -
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Final Fantasy XIII-2 is, as the name suggests, a direct sequel to Square’s 2009 outing. Things kick off in the futuristic world of Valhalla - a somewhat post-apocalyptic city that seems to be the Final Fantasy equivalent of an urban limbo. Lightning, thought to be dead by her sister Serah, is in constant battle with Caius - a nasty-looking chap who’s fancy-boy looks and visual kei fashion is lifted right out of the A-Z of Final Fantasy supervillain design.
The game makes use of the Paradigm Shift system and Quick Time Events called “Cinematic Actions”. And after an early shock, Lightning is left to make a last stand for the sake of humanity, the world and everything else.
Serah, who is left in another time and dimension rebuilding civilisation with Cocoon survivors, is apparently the only hope for Lightning and the safety of the universe. However, the gamer also encounters Noel Kreiss, a mysterious kid who teams up with Serah to help get reunited with her sister.
Time is of the essence as a former resistance group NORA witness a strange meteorite that’s impacted near Cocoon, which Noel and Serah discover is causing timelines between hundreds of years to bleed into one another. This means that Noel and Serah having to hop between historical moments and dimensions via Stargate-esque portals to reach the Historia Crux.
Battling enemies in XIII-2 is a very similar affair to its predecessor, using the Paradigm Shift system which allows for the same automatic battling that you could achieve in past Final Fantasy games by hammering the X button, but maintains a strategy in Paradigms that allow you to get creative with team attacks.
Square Enix hasn’t changed too much to the combat here in that regard. What it has done is add some new features to shake things up a bit. Monsters fought on the field can be captured automatically and added to your own team. Each creature has its own set Paradigm style that you can use to cover any cracks in your strategy. Cait Siths are Medics, for example, while Zwerg Scandroids are Ravagers that can cast spells in your stead.
There's plenty here for anyone who enjoyed Final Fantasy XIII to sink their teeth into.£14.99 Buy Now -

Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones, the books, the HBO TV series now the video game, all come with creative input from the originator of the lore, George R.R. Martin. The new game from Focus Home Interactive and developer Cyanide comes with that input and also with a brand new story.
Using the action role-playing format, Game of Thrones has a rich, fantasy environment but the same Iron Throne so familiar to lovers of both the books and the television. Yes, despite the new story, that mighty Iron Throne must be fought and schemed for.
The gamer takes on the role of one of two characters including: Mors, Sworn Brother of the Night’s Watch, or Alester, a Red Priest in search of redemption, as they make their ways around familiar locations in Westeros. Gamers get the chance to visit The Wall and also to survive the politics down in the hotbed that is King’s Landing.
Non-playing characters take the forms of well-known faces from the lore including: Queen Cersei, Varys the Spider and Jeor Mormont, Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch.
The game enables players to have full control of their character’s development. This includes selecting their character’s class, finding their fighting style and developing the crucial balance between the character's strengths and weaknesses. Once the character is formed they must fight in epic battles. In order to do all this, the gamer must must also find, buy or loot new equipment and weapons to suit their character's fighting style. They must also and gain experience to improve their various abilities.
In order to survive and achieve the throne, however, the gamer must do more than fight, as political skills and the power of a silver tongue will also help.£14.99 -
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom
Answer the call to battle in this Action-RPG where the Lords of Light and Darkness wage war for ultimate dominion. To save the world from eternal darkness, you must overcome hordes of demented monsters, journey through twisted, surreal environments and face unspeakable nightmares. Use your strength and skill to end the Circle of Doom and bring back the Light.
Departing from Action RTS formula of the previous Kingdom Under Fire series, Circle of Doom makes full use of the Xbox 360's power to create a revolutionary gaming experience. Players will explore randomly generated vast dungeons and battle monsters swarming the screen in thousands and attacking from all directions along the floors, walls, and ceilings of the dungeons. As the game progresses, the heroes will find increasingly devastating and spectacular ways to defeat massive enemy forces in the forms of new abilities and weapons, or even create their own arsenal by combining the existing ones.
Taking maximum advantage of the Xbox 360's online features, Circle of Doom seamlessly merges single-player and multiplayer modes. Players may choose to play alone or recruit 4-player parties to continue their quest as a team via Xbox Live without switching modes or anything. Each player can take their single-player characters to the party quest or create a new character with useful skills to compliment each other. They can even trade their own custom-crafted items with other party members.
Although Circle of Doom is not a direct successor to the previous Kingdom Under Fire titles, its storyline serves as an important link between them and the upcoming and yet unannounced chapter of Kingdom Under Fire saga. The game features a cast of heroes include those returning from all the previous Kingdom Under Fire titles, including the original PC version. Depending on the player's decision, the story branches out and players may encounter totally unexpected turn of events.
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom combines innovative features, explosive action play mechanics and unique RPG themes, all presented in the most advanced HD visuals of epic scale and exotic style.£2.99 -
Risen 2: Dark Waters
While the first Risen packed in plenty of action, adventure and depth, there's always room for improvement, isn't there? The sequel, Dark Waters, offers up plenty of new elements for players to get stuck into.
Across the board, things are much more colourful, for starters. The sequel is inspired by the Caribbean and the life of pirates, so the game world as a result is a lot more tropical. Vibrant greens, reds and blues counter the “three distinct tones of brown” (Piranha’s words) of Risen 1.
To make things more interesting, the characters - particularly the NPCs - have had a graphical and technical improvement. Whereas before characters consisted of a simple head piece and body piece, Risen 2 uses modulised parts with different clothing features so that you’re not likely to see the same character twice.
Speaking of characters, what has become of your own? The hero of Risen 1 returns in this pirate-heavy land, only ten years older and disillusioned with the world. As a result, he’s become a bit rusty with the powers that you once acquired, finding no need to ever use them again. After all you did try to save the world, only to find that it was all in vain as another titan destroys an island.
In fact, the world is now riddled with these beasts, with new monsters having risen from the depths. It's your job to track down pirates, who are the only ones still able to sail the seven seas with a modicum of safety.
Whereas the last game allowed you to get medieval on an enemy’s posterior, here you’re living the life of the seven seas. So no shield for you, and an extravagant pirate sword for your chopping pleasure. This gives you a free hand in Risen 2, which Piranha is taking advantage of by allowing players to customise exactly what goes in it. A second sword, a pistol, even a parrot that can be deployed to distract enemies... plenty of possibilities there.
You can take command of your own ship as well, which is rather fitting of a buccaneer such as yourself. As you sail between locations, you can speak to the crew on your ship and find out their morale and abilities. When disembarking to accomplish various missions, you can choose a couple of crewmen to assist you on your adventures.
All of these improvements must sound like heaven for those who played the first Risen game. They don’t come at a compromise to the game’s depth - 40-60 hours have been promised in the final version, along with legendary items to collect and a tweaked difficulty curve that isn’t as harsh as the one in the first game.£14.99 -
Risen 3: Titan Lords: First Edition
Developer Pirhana Bytes has returned to its roots with the third instalment in the Risen series, dubbed Titan Lords. The world has been abandoned by the gods and now suffers in the thrall of the Titan Wars, and a new threat is rising from the soil. You play as a young warrior who has been separated from his soul. The banned mages might be able to help, but getting their help is going to be no easy task...
The game takes players back to the Caribbean-inspired islands of Risen 2, meaning that once again you're in for some nautical antics with a pirate theme. The islands have, however, been refreshed and revamped, so Risen 3 earns its status as a full-blooded sequel.
You can have an AI-controlled comrade fighting by your side throughout the game. Possible partners include Patty, a sword-wielding bombshell you might remember from Risen 2 (and also your sister); a shotgun-wielding master of voodoo, a ghostly pirate and Bones, a bloodthirsty druid.
Players must choose how they'll align themselves. Will the player join the Guardians that protect the mages in order to get close to them, or will they choose a different guild?
A grand nautical adventure awaits!£42.99 Buy Now -
Sacred 3: First Edition
Sacred 3 might be the first entry in the series to be developed by newcomer Keen Games, but the developer looks set to show it understands the guts of the franchise with a back to basics approach.
Favourite characters such as Seraphim, Ancarian, Khukuhru and the Safiri return, doing battle against anarchic green-skins in this action role-playing game. The floating camera returns to give players a birds-eye view of environments swarming with enemies, giving the game a feel that puts it right in sync with previous entries.
One crucial difference, however, is that the game has been developed with more focus on the gamepad. This means that the click-click combat of previous Sacred games is less prevalent and there's more of a focus on action. The game's physics are more realistic meaning that, for instance, a powerful blow will result in an enemy flying across the screen with a satisfying oomph.
Sacred 3 has a very strong focus on co-op play. Even if you're not playing with friends online (and you don't need to be connected at all times to play) you'll have three AI companions on-screen with you at all times. This pays off with move-sets that combine the abilities of all four on-screen characters for devastating attacks.
A drop-in/drop-out co-op mechanic really seals the deal to make Sacred 3 a full-blooded co-op game, rather than an RPG with multiplayer as an afterthought.£37.99 Buy Now -
South Park: The Stick of Truth
Unlikely as it may sound, South Park: The Stick of Truth is effectively an RPG using turn-based combat, party quests, main quest and side quests, bad language, scenes of a racy nature and, most of all, the benefit of the South Park graphic style and humour.
The graphics, the scripting, the characters (and there are many), the humour; it’s as if a set of executives from Ubisoft and developer Obsidian had got together and then Matt Stone and Trey Parker had told them: “Stay true to South Park!” and for once, everybody did what they were told.
The game is just so incredibly South Park that all else evaporates. Like the TV series itself, the bones and the plot of South Park: The Stick of Truth build from the imagination of small kids.
You play the new Kid, and I won’t spoil the naming ceremony gag. In order to quest and side-quest, you make friends (using Facebook-like requests) and you build questing parties of other familiar and not so familiar (to me) characters from the series.
And yes, at heart SPSoT is a questing game with turn-based combat. While the combat in SPSoT is quite straightforward (Block or Spell or Fight or Special Ability or Heal or Die) there’s a comfort in learning how best to partake of its simple pleasures.
South Park: The Stick of Truth serves its source material well. In so doing, it also serves up a highly playable game to the fans of the show.£9.99 -
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim promises to take role playing to a whole new level. The land of Skyrim has tumbled headlong into civil war after the assassination of the King. Add in the rising god-dragon Alduin who is hell-bent on destroying the world and things are looking bad.

Beginning (as always) as a prisoner on your way to your execution, players will be encouraged to travel through the world of Tamriel, developing their character however they see fit to save the world. While Skyrim may well be set firmly in the usual tropes you would expect from a fantasy game, the level of depth in the game is unparalleled, allowing you to experience the game how you want to.
Having been in development for five years, you would expect the Bethesda to have poured a huge amount of work into Skyrim. With stunning graphics and audio (with voices from over 70 actors including three Oscar nominees) this promises to be one of the deepest, most involved games of all time.
