One of the most expensive games in the Windows Phone Store (£4.50 in the UK), but also one of the most ambitious, Modern Combat 5: Blackout is brand new and will require a couple of Gigabytes of storage free in your 1GB RAM Windows Phone 8 device in order to be installed. What awaits you when you boot it up is a maelstrom of First Person Shooter action, with a gamut of weaponry, delivered by hand, by chopper and by boat. See the third party gameplay video embedded below.

This is far too big a title to cover with static screenshots, but there are videos online from the iOS and Android versions and these will give you a good idea of whether it's worth dipping into your wallet. And hey, at least Gameloft hasn't gone down the freemium route this time, so credit to them for this.

Incidentally, although I (Steve) haven't got time to play through this for many tens of hours, I'd welcome a review for the site from a serious Windows Phone mobile gamer. If this sounds like you then please get in touch.

Modern Combat 5 does note that it 'requires an Internet connection'. Presumably for state saving, multi-player liasing and the downloading of new missions and content, as they become available. Not usually a problem, but again, keep some storage space free on your phone and don't expect to be able to play this in the middle of nowhere!

I came across this video on YouTube, showing off the extensive gameplay and graphics quite well:
