Shooting walls, floors and ceilings with a rocket launcher has never been so fun. Red Faction made it cool.

Not all superheroes need sniper rifles.

Kill people and create chaos, or don't - the choice is yours. A nice blend of stealth and visceral combat in a unique steampunk world.

Build and customise a squad of badass alien-killing operatives, control them through mission after unforgiving mission - and then watch them all die.

Squad-based combat at its finest, despite its age. Scores extra points for the nostalgia factor. (Our favourite operative is definitely Foley)

Robert Kirkman's crtically-acclaimed zombie comic with a touch of Telltale magic makes this game a must play.

The eternal struggle within a beautifully funny video game. Blossomed (geddit?) into a franchise, but the original is still the best.

Zombies, zombies, zombies, zombies. Really good zombies.

Relaxing, funny and 16-player co-op mayhem. What's not to like? Also, cannonball bowling is always fun.

First-person perspectives can be the platform for anything, and Mirror's Edge proves that. Such an exciting game when you're in full flow.
