The future is now! Well, it is in this eleventh instalment of arguably the most popular FPS series ever. It’s 2054, and extremist collective the KVA have taken out nuclear reactors the world over in the most brazen terrorist attack yet seen. With governments and armies foundering and powerless, private military corporations are picking up the slack. You’re Jack Mitchell, working for the most powerful and best-equipped of these – the Atlas Corporation. New tech ranging from holograms to exoskeletons and even hoverbikes is at your disposal, as you do the bidding of the bloke who’s now the most powerful in the world – Atlas boss Kevin Spacey! Add classic multiplayer and online and the future’s looking bright for CoD. But maybe not so bright for humanity.

Possibly the most shameful, headline-hogging game series ever brings its abject depravity to the new consoles! Ban this sick stunt! Oops, sorry, we got caught up in all the ridiculous, unfounded scaremongering that’s surrounded the Grand Theft Auto series pretty much since its inception. While GTA V has been around for a while, scooping all of 2013’s ‘Game of the Year’ awards that The Last of Us didn’t, it comes to PS4 and Xbone bulging with extra stuff – sideways around a corner in a squeal of tyres, of course. What sort of extra stuff? New weapons, vehicles, songs, activities, missions, graphical enhancements, weather and more. Crazed open world gangster action doesn’t come any slicker than GTA, and it just got slicker. This’ll keep the kids off the streets... While many write ‘Visit the Himalayas’ on their bucket lists, we’re not sure too many actually manage to cross it off. Now you can save yourself a whole bunch of hypothermia and do it from the comfiness of your couch, as Far Cry hits Nepal. You’re Ajay Ghale, returning to your birthplace of Kyrat to honour your mother’s dying wish to scatter her ashes. When you become involved with a resistance aiming to topple a despotic and flamboyant self-crowned king named Pagan Min, you feel the urge to stay awhile and fight for the people’s liberation... The in-game Nepal in this latest in the open world FPS series is crawling with wildlife – and deadliness! From rhinos to deceptively named honey badgers, wits are needed – and weaponry. At least the latter comes supplied... FAR CRY 4 SAINTS ROW IV, SLEEPING DOGS
