What's the story? Brawling glory

AWAYSIS

Kyoto-based 17-Bit has tried its hand at different genres and platforms, but one of CEO Jake Kazdal's ambitions has always been to make a Zelda-style action adventure.

And yet the influence isn't immediately apparent in Awaysis' arcade-oriented mission structure, in which diminutive fox Auro journeys to the titular floating island to battle evil goblins.

Gears Of War: Reloaded

Something may be lost in the translation between the original 2006 version of Gears Of War and the considerably prettier, brighter and more sharply textured Reloaded. A solemn, grimy place, where endless battles over scarce resources have resulted only in ever-larger piles of corpses, the world of Gears is perhaps most suitably rendered via the fuzzier, grey-brown colour palette of the first Xbox 360 release. Especially for Marcus Fenix and co, war is hell. You might argue that it ought to look like it.
