Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
After the lumbering, po-faced Assassin's Creed III, this episode starts as it means to go on, with Welsh pirate Edward Kenway mugging an assassin, stealing his outfit and inadvertently joining the evil Templars, whom he then pickpockets. Dividing your time between plundering Spanish galleons on the high seas and land-based skulduggery, you'll find an almost impossible array of distractions: assassinations, petty thievery, looting plantations. And that's before you've got on with the main mission or left the historical stuff behind to hack computers in the offices of Abstergo Entertainment, the company that lets you travel back through ancestral memories to experience all that piracy in the first place. Massive, deep and utterly compelling, it also has a vast, subterfuge-filled set of multiplayer modes that are like a separate game of their own. Brilliant, exhilarating piratical entertainment.
Ubisoft, £38.95
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (catchphrase: Objection!) is a terrible lawyer. He mugs his way through cases, riddled with catastrophic levels of self-doubt, with sweat pouring from his brow as he grimaces at yet another unforeseen twist tossed in by the prosecution. You're there to see Wright and his equally incompetent colleagues through cases they would otherwise flub so appallingly, it's hard to believe any of them managed to pass the bar. Not that this is a game that takes itself too seriously. Even murder trials seem to create comedy potential, the exaggerated expressions of witnesses and lawmen alike would be more at home in a pantomime than a tense, packed courtroom. Requiring no dexterity whatsoever, you interview bystanders, investigate crime scenes and listen carefully as evidence is presented and witnesses cross-examined, looking for inconsistencies you can use to expose their lies.
Capcom, £19.99 (download)
