The problem is the precise touches combined with the time attack aspects that only make for an annoying experience.

A worthy choice for people new to the series, yet providing enough new functionality for fans, as well, these jewels are worth preserving.

While there are some good ideas at play here, Planes: Fire & Rescue does the bare minimum with them and the development team has produced a game that's only fun to play for a few minutes at a time.

The game itself is a good addition to the series. Niggles with presentation and the amount of mandatory text to read are present, but there are so many positives to take from the engaging and varied experience.

While Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth is very much aimed at a core audience and may alienate potential newcomers, the fans are going to adore it.

It is fun whilst it lasts and is definitely deserving of a play through. This is Sonic, just not quite as he was previously known.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker may be a humble little game that may not aim very high, but it succeeds as a quality and polished title for those who want a relaxing and easy going adventure-puzzle game.

Rock Zombie is playing on nostalgia from the time when arcade halls were everywhere and arcade styled beat 'em up titles were flooding the console market - the 'Golden Age' of arcade games. Sadly, however, due to misbalanced difficulty and an overly simplistic fighting system and enemy design, the game falls flat.

The epitome of a soulless cash grab, Penguins of Madagascar is a text book example of a lazy movie tie-in game.

Falling Skies: The Game on Nintendo Wii U eShop is so lacking in every regard, and overall terribly bland, that it is easy to get distracted from actually playing it.

It's a bright, bustling multiplayer fest that deserves a place in any Wii U library.

For fans of games in The Legend of Zelda series, Ittle Dew offers plenty of puzzles and replayability to scratch that Zelda itch. The combat system may be sub-par, but that shouldn't put people off as it's only a minor gameplay element, with puzzles being the stronger focus here.

A game that started with a good idea but chose to build this upon a bad concept.

This is a title that should be enjoyed in 30-minute sessions on the bus or while waiting for something, not for hours in a living room. However, saying that, the addictive qualities of the game cannot be ignored and it is a real blast, very charming, offering stacks of content.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is the mark of the vulgar and should not be touched.

It's hard to find something to complain about in Shovel Knight because it does everything it sets out to do perfectly - to an impeccable standard.

Steel Empire is a good game at its core, and it was far ahead of its time when it first came out. The problem is, though, that at this point and time a lot of the game's elements are extremely dated.

Taking many tropes from the Metroidvania sub-genre of games, and adding a mechanic all of its own, The Swapper succeeds in creating an interesting world to explore and challenging puzzles to conquer amidst one of the most atmospheric backdrops ever put to a video game.

The Keep is one of those games that is more than the sum of its parts. It does not sport the fanciest graphics out there and does not impress in any particular area, but all of its ingredients put together work in a sort of alchemy more powerful than the spells it presents in-game.

The title will appeal to gamers of all experience and ability, and has a "just one more go" feel to it that makes it hard to put down.

Unfortunately, it does feel like a small step backwards after Marvel Super Heroes, with the missing open world being the biggest loss - this is LEGO Batman 3 and not LEGO DC Comics or LEGO Justice League, so there's still hope that an open world will come later, as this most certainly won't be the last in this franchise.

With a subtle yet engaging plot device and atmospheric environment, dastardly devilish challenges, and a shelf life of features beyond many other games, this stealth puzzler is an easy sell.

This isn't an awful game - it's just that, for the most part, it isn't much of one.

It's clean, precise presentation, slick smooth gameplay and awesome level design make Tetrobot a strong contender for the puzzle game leader of Nintendo's eShop indie selection.

Repetitious gameplay, cheap boss battles and a rushed presentation overall, Arrow Time U offers very little incentive to pick this one up from the Wii U eShop. Save those pennies for something else.

This year's edition of the Just Dance series lifts the game beyond its former releases thanks to its focus on treating players to various extras the more they play and integrating the online component so smoothly into the regular play.

Overly slow character movement may not appeal to some, but this is a gorgeous title that should be experience by all. A truly joyous piece of gaming art!
