Halo: The Master Chief Collection has a so-called "mystery" achievement, whose description is simply "inscrutable, mysterious." The way to unlock it might seem totally arbitrary (and kinda lame), but it actually ties into a story from Halo's distant past.

Dan Naylor: "Spelunky is the ultimate Ill just have a quick go game. Advert break in my favourite show? Get the Vita out. It doesnt matter that Ill end a run only to realise Ive missed the rest of the programme, because I nearly reached the Temple that time. One more go to oh, bat bounced me into some spikes straight away. Well that doesnt count obviously. Just one more"

Crave Online: Far Cry 4s November 18th release date is drawing closer by the day are you ready? For a while, I honestly wasnt sure if I was. Though a two year gap between games is lengthy by modern AAA standards, its actually quite quick for the Far Cry series, which has seen gaps between entries of up to four years in the past. Regardless of how I felt back then, a run-in with some wild animals at PAX Prime convinced me otherwise. Im all in for Far Cry 4, which means I need to brush up on what separates the game from its predecessor, and why its speedy two-year development cycle relative to the changes being made is surprisingly deceiving.

The second outing by Full Control to depict the Adeptus Astartes making perilous expeditions into long lost, xenos-infested starships, Space Hulk Ascension Edition is a massive leap forwards from its predecessor. Along with a far broader mix of chapters, many of the massive criticisms levelled at the previous game have been directly addressed here, from atmosphere to progression.

WC: If it aint broke, dont fix it. The popularity of the Fallout universe is so great that the implementation of any sweeping changes or additions could be considered unnecessary. If the general public are to ever receive any solid confirmation of Fallout 4s existence, perhaps the features it should eventually be boasting are not revolutionary ones but instead, meek ones that promise to smooth out gameplay, diversify the experience and eradicate long-standing flaws.

If there is one thing Bioware has done perfectly its creating games with interesting character development. From Mass Effect to Dragon Age, they have delivered storylines that are compelling while giving the player the freedom to either be a good hero or a selfish hero. Between the two mentioned games, the interface and gameplay were also rather revolutionary in my opinion. Unfortunately Mass Effect had somewhat of a bad ending. The trilogy ended in such a way that the player didnt want to stop playing. In other words, it ended bluntly.

They say you only get one chance to make a first impression, and thats somewhat unfortunate for Capcom Vancouvers Dead Rising 3. The game begins somberly, with the player controlling everyman Nick Ramos a mechanic and one of the last survivors of a zombie outbreak. In the first 15 minutes, you are funneled through drab indoor environments, subjected to various zombie tropes and limited to a smattering of mundane weapons (lead pipes, wooden planks) for use against the zombie horde. On top of this, Nick moves around the game in a floaty, cumbersome way that is made more annoying by unwieldy and loose traversal mechanics. As dire as this all sounds, when the game finally opens up after the introductory sequences, Dead Rising 3 proves to be a fairly entertaining open world playground, despite its flaws.

Assassins Creed Unity has a tons of bugs and if Ubisoft PR is to be believed, it is AMD's fault. However, bad optimization for consoles and porting can explain the problem better.

Stuart Gollan -- "Battlefield's single-player campaigns have had their fair share of Michael Bay action movie moments in recent years, full of bombast and big screen tension but light on exploration, alternate methods of approach and subtlety."

As our review mentioned, crafting is a huge part of Dragon Age: Inquisition. Sturdy pieces of armor and powerful, destructive weapons can both be created and modified in the RPG fairly easily. They then can be used in combat to deal devastating blows to enemies.

Asad Quadri of The Koalition writes: The name of Sid Meier will forever be known as one of the most inspiring figures in the video game industry. For over 20 years, hes been at the forefront of making some of the greatest video games ever created, including his landmark turn-based strategy series Civilization. These games allow you to control historical nations including Greece, Persia, China, America, India, Russia and many, many more. You are then given the chance to develop theses nations further through the ages, starting from the bronze age and all the way through to the age of space travel. The Civilization series is highly regarded as one of the most important strategy games ever and even today many other developers of strategy games have used Civilization as the standard to meet.

Christopher Buffa (Prima Games): Theres a ton of cool stuff in Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. When it comes to characters, you have so many to choose from, including Bane, Doomsday, Swamp Thing and Supergirl. On top of that, these heroes and villains have access to a wide variety of vehicles from DC Comics lore, like The Bat from The Dark Knight Rises, different versions of the Batmobile and Robins Redbird Cycle. Of course youll need to unlock them all, and you do this by completing specific VR Missions at the Batcave and Watchtower, or discovering Vehicle Tokens within the world and then visiting the planet Oa to purchase your new ride.

Eurogamer: "At a recent media briefing, Nvidia revealed that its GeForce Grid cloud gaming system is rolling out in the UK and Europe, with a range of AAA titles available to stream for free - as long as you own an Nvidia Shield device. At Digital Foundry, we've got a long history of healthy scepticism about gaming systems like this, or more specifically the technologically impossible claims often made for them. So is GeForce Grid the 'Netflix for games' Nvidia reckons it can be, or is it just cloud cuckoo land?"
