If you like Plants Vs Zombies then you will have a blast with Go Home Dinosaurs! There is a nice selection of units and levels are quite frantic. The sixty levels will fly by in the blink of an eye but achieving three steaks on each level provides some long term challenge.
Gameplay: Simple but very entertaining and addictive.
Graphics: While not spectacular the art style is very nice.
Sound: Good

Montague’s Mount is a game that left me with mixed feelings. I can appreciate what the developer has attempted here and the game has a wonderful atmosphere but it is definitely not going to appeal to everyone. There are lots of small issues that detract from the overall experience but I still found the game to be engaging and thought provoking.
Gameplay: The slow pace and slightly obscure puzzles makes this a niche title.
Graphics: The art direction fits the theme but make it hard to spot small stuff.
Sound: Excellent voice acting and absolutely brilliant music

Test Drive Unlimited 2 is one of those games that start off great but the longer you play it the more the faults become apparent. There are plenty of challenges and races but in the end you are just repeating the same things over and over. The online aspect is nice and overall the game is good but it is certainly not going to appeal to everyone.
Gameplay: A huge gameworld with plenty to see and do but very repetitive.
Graphics: Lots of rough edges but the scale is admirable.
Sound: Terrible radio stations and annoying voice overs

A great sequel that makes a lot of improvements over the original but at times feels too much like an expansion pack rather than a full fledged title. It is still a blast to play and has some great insights into the world of Rapture but don’t expect the plot to be as mind blowing as the first. Things really pick up towards the end so stick with it.
Gameplay: All the tweaks and improvements you could ask for.
Graphics: Very nice but its clear to see that the PC version is being held back by the games console roots.
Sound: Atmospheric and moody

As far as casual games go, Dead Hungry Diner is one of the most polished and playable examples of the genre. The game provides a solid challenge without frustrating players and the addictive gameplay will have you chasing a three star rating on every level.
Gameplay: Frantic and very addictive.
Graphics: Detailed and polished.
Sound: Can sound chaotic at times but overall very good

Fans of Deadpool will have a blast with this game but the humour should appeal to newcomers as well. High Moon Studios have captured the character perfectly although the gameplay can feel a bit clunky at times. While not without its flaws I had a blast playing this game and can recommend it to all fans of the merc with a mouth.
Gameplay: Packed with action and humour.
Graphics: Not the best I’ve seen but it does the license justice.
Sound: Superb voice acting by Nolan North coupled with a rocking soundtrack

Penumbra: Overture is an admirable attempt at something new and makes for a nice break from all the running and gunning in first-person perspective games. There are plenty of logical puzzles to work your way through and a hair-raising story that will have you hooked right to the end. The graphics are not exactly cutting-edge, and it’s not as scary as it tries to be, but overall, it’s a good game.
Gameplay: Penumbra: Overture is best experienced late at night with the sound up and the lights off.
Graphics: The visuals consist of lots and lots of brown.
Sound: The audio is pretty standard as far as creepiness is concerned

Loot Hound allows you to unleash your dog on different parks in an effort to find the most epic loot. It is a very simple game, but quite addictive and very humorous. The challenge level is quite low, but the abundance of levels and loot increases the replay value. As far as casual games goes, this one is relaxing and entertaining, which makes it easy to recommend.
Gameplay: Not very challenging, but quirky and addictive enough to keep you playing.
Graphics: Fairly basic, but quite charming.
Sound: Great ambient sound effects and a very humorous narrator

Abyss: Wraiths of Eden is yet another very enjoyable hidden object game from one of the best developers in the genre. The setting might not be that original, but looks great and makes for an interesting story. Since it is a relatively easy title, it is a good starting point for newcomers, but it is polished enough that even veterans will enjoy the experience.
Gameplay: Easy to complete but remains enjoyable throughout.
Graphics: The hand-drawn visuals look great, but the close-up character animations are not the best.
Sound: Nice music, but the voice acting could have been better

Batman: Arkham Asylum is as close to perfection as I have ever seen a game based upon a comic license come. Rocksteady Studios have come out of nowhere and released the definitive Batman game. Fans of the caped crusader will love this game but even if you only have a passing interest in the character you will find a lot to enjoy here. This game of the year edition adds a few extras to an already great game.
Gameplay: Polished and engaging, this is the best Batman game yet.
Graphics: Excellent visual style that retains the gritty look of the comic books.
Sound: Excellent voice overs all round and great music
