Mugen Souls Z wears its perverseness on its sleeve (or panties as it may be) but underneath that there’s a competent if clunky JRPG that doesn’t do enough to differentiate itself. It’s a bizarre game that helps serve as a reminder of how weird and different Japanese games can be but it never ascends beyond being a delivery vessel for crude humour and pervy art.

With over sixty hours of campaign to play, and the variety of the missions, there’s plenty here to satisfy your turn based strategy needs.

Gaming gold. It may be short, I clocked my first play through in around 6 hours, but it’s a beautiful 6 hours.

I’d love to see a patch for the game that makes the single player mode a bit fairer and a tutorial “thing” to make it an awesome little game. As it stands right now though, World Soccer is still deserving of your time despite its shortcomings.

Tower of Guns offers a fresh and exciting blast of satisfying thrills with each play-through, all delivered in easily digestible, rogue-like chunks. That this is essentially the work of just one guy, and that the price is right (currently £11.99 on Steam), makes Tower of Guns easy to recommend to PC gamers looking for something just a little bit different.

As it is Life of Pixel is a pretty standard affair throughout. There is the odd gravity flip switch or jet pack but they’re few and far between. Something for the future perhaps? I would certainly be keen to see what else Super Icon offer up in the future.

Although The Last Federation has a lot going for it, the fact that it forces you to make choices every three seconds in combat is its Achilles heel.

It’s so weird and ephemeral that when I got the credits, I wasn’t sure if the game was finished or about to begin. Sadly, that tells you a lot about the actual content. When it was all over, I was unsure if I had somehow missed the “game” part and just watched the cut scenes.

So, is NASCAR ’14 the elusive stock car game experience I have been looking for? The short answer is yes. The game recreates the whole atmosphere of NASCAR very well. The career mode is one of the most in-depth career experiences I have seen in a racing game for a long time and the tweaks the AI make your simulated career as tense and exciting as the real thing.

While it is not exactly the most innovative or original game in the world, it does contain various improvements on tried and tested game mechanics.

The Last Tinker: City of Colors provides a great splash of nostalgia for gamers who grew up playing games like Spyro and Crash Bandicoot. There are plenty of puzzles in there to keep you on your toes, but the gameplay can be easy enough to let your kids loose on it.

Offering up new challenges and features keeps us entertained, and the unlimited supply of tracks via Track Central ensures that the game will never die. Trials Fusions downfall is that of the new FMX trials. It is an unnecessary addition to a game still provides the player with the same fun factor as its predecessors without it.

If it had better platforming mechanics and less frustration, I would recommend it. As it stands, I can only recommend it to people who genuinely feel NES was the golden age of gaming.

Space Run is a confident and well executed first outing from France’s Passtech Games, offering a quality experience occasionally comparable with the best in the genre.

It has an excellent premise – hacking, revenge and conspiracies – but it then proceeds to not do much with it. The story and gameplay starts to blend into the same generic formula we have seen in other open world action adventure games. This doesn’t mean Watch Dogs is a bad game; it is a decent well-made game that is also just (here comes that word again) generic.

You will hate the amount of time you spend replaying the same level just because you think you can do better.

Reiner Knizia’s Supremacy is one of the best DICE+ enabled games out there so far, and definitely shows the potential of the DICE+ as a social mobile video game controller.

I can recommend this game to newcomers to the MMORPG genre, they will find it easy to get to grips with and not overly taxing when it comes to completing tasks. They will eventually tire of the repetitiveness of the missions, but thanks to the arena and exploration the game does have a slightly increased life. However, those that are searching for a good MMO experience for iPad will have to keep looking. The game is good, I can’t fault the look of the game and the controls are easy to use and very simplistic.

Despite its bugs and AI issues, Lifeline is a welcome addition to State of Decay. It builds on the canon already created and adds some very good features which would be amazing in the main game (hint hint). And whilst rather short, there is definite replayability to Lifeline as you never how things are going to turn out.

Among the Sleep is a great addition to the horror genre, and their choice of a toddler for the main character is both inspired and well executed. With a little more polish, a better Oculus Rift kit, and the clearing out of the remaining bugs, it would be near perfect.
