Were we to start listing the number of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 titles that have been upgraded with better graphics or repackaged with additional DLC for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, we’d be here for a while. Don’t make the mistake of lumping Blizzard’s Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition into that group, however, as this version is truly worthy of its own release.

Whereas last year’s next-gen version felt like a modest step above its 360/PS3 counterpart, Madden NFL 15 takes advantage of the increased power the PS4 and Xbox One afford it. Stadiums, fans and player models have never looked better, and that, combined with an overhauled presentation to simulate the feel of televised NFL football, makes it easily the most realistic version to date. There are still some odd looking faces when the helmets come off, but in action things generally look excellent.

Completing the game requires you to acquire 25 sets of plans, and each day brings a stiffer challenge, so you’ll want to balance out beefing up your resources with reaching the final mission. Collecting weapon and formula blueprints — formulas are single-level boosts than can be purchased and equipped before embarking on a mission — helps make you a deadlier spy, and you’ll also need money to purchase more ammo and additional guns once you’ve acquired the blueprints and formulas. It’s a pretty interesting system that gives you some wiggle room over how you approach the missions.

Without question, the biggest selling point of Hohokum is its presentation. Visually, the game is a cavalcade of beautiful colours, abstract designs and inventive creatures all inhabiting a world whose 15 levels are completely different yet implausibly still feel like part of a singular collective.

On the off chance that you: (a) didn’t own a PS3, but do own a PS4; or (b) somehow never played The Last of Us before (and, once again, own a PS4), then feel free to stop reading now, drive directly to your nearest electronics retailer and purchase a copy. This is, without question, one of the best games (if not the best) from the last generation of consoles, and that fact hasn’t changed one iota.

As with any card game, Forgotten Wars comes with its own set of rules and systems, thankfully starting with an immediate tutorial. Although somewhat short and hands off in its approach to actually teaching the game to new players, it introduces an interesting twist from what we’ve played in other card games like Magic the Gathering, and it was just enough of a change to really get us into the game.
