Bayonetta (Nintendo, available October 24) – €29.99/£24.99 (Buy Bayonetta for just €9.99/£9.99 if you have downloaded Bayonetta 2)
Originally released in 2010, the unforgettable first chapter of the Bayonetta saga introduced the world to “climax action”, an explosive blend of dynamic action and saucy style. Armed with a gun in each hand and one on each foot, Bayonetta destroys her opponents with combo attacks that are as beautiful as they are brutal. Dodge enemy attacks with perfect timing to activate Witch Time, leaving your slowed-down opponents defenceless against your barrage of kicks, blows and bullets, then finish them off with a devastating Torture Attack. No angel will stand in Bayonetta’s way.
Bayonetta 2 (Nintendo, available October 24) – €49.99/£39.99 (Buy Bayonetta 2 for just €29.99/£24.99 if you have downloaded Bayonetta)
A few months after the events of Bayonetta… Something strange is happening. Angels suddenly appear on the streets and begin to attack. Bayonetta uses her powers and fights back, summoning the demon Gomorrah, but it turns against her. Jeanne dives in to save Bayonetta, taking a fatal blow in the process, and is dragged down to Inferno. With only a short time to save Jeanne’s soul, Bayonetta heads for Fimbulventr: a legendary mountain said to house a gateway to the underworld. What lies ahead for Bayonetta?
