In the greatest movie musical of all time,

The Blues

Brothers

, many a cop whined, “They broke my watch!”

Now imagine if not just the means of telling it, but time

itself broke. That’s what Jack Joyce faces following a uni

experiment that went seriously haywire. He battles to

save his family (and the world – he has a bit on his plate)

in this new third-person, puzzle-infused action IP from

the people behind the adventures of both Max Payne and

Alan Wake. It sees those evil corporations at it again, in this case Monarch

Solutions. But armed with the ability to manipulate time – backwards,

forwards, fast, slow, frozen – Jack just may have the upper hand.

Sunset Overdrive, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition

Finally, everybody’s favourite team of robot and, erm,

whatever the heck a Lombax is are back, and not only

have they gone now-gen, they’ve also got a movie in

tow! A remixed reimagining of their first ever outing back

in the days of the PS2, those who can remember that

far back will find some bits familiar, while new stuff has

been bolted on from various other entries in the series,

providing extra bits to play with (including new far-out

weapons), and keeping things in line with the new big

screen experience. Rest assured that the ace action platforming makes

the transition in great style – Captain Qwark and all. Qwarktastic!

consoles will make many hoons deliriously happy. Forget

your Ken Block stunt shenanigans though, for this puppy’s

a pure rallying experience. A huge roster of cars from the

1960s to now features, covering all the classic rallying

makes from Mini to Mitsubishi, Fiat to Ford, Citroen to

Subaru, Peugeot to Renault and beyond. The range of

events is also expansive, plus you can create your own

leagues to get into with your racing friends. With visual guides, tributes to

rally legend Colin McRae and heaps more,

off the streets and safely strapped to their couches.

WRC 5, Forza Horizon 2

When Star Fox (aka Starwing) first hit the Super Nintendo

back in the 1990s, its incredible 3D Star Wars-inspired

space shooter action caused shockwaves. With a special

graphics chip inside the cartridge, it looked like nothing

else. Then the Nintendo 64 version hit – complete with

a plug-in ‘Rumble Pak’ to make everything, well, rumbly.

Now Fox McCloud and his hardy crew of Slippy, Peppy

and Falco (not to be confused with that Austrian ‘Rock Me Amadeus’

bloke) are back all these years later, and they haven’t forgotten to bring

something special – for if you get in hyper-quick, you’ll also score a disc-

based second adventure,

Star Fox Guard

, complete with steelbook.
