Fans of Phineas and Ferb might get some enjoyment out of this, but platform aficionados might find their time invested better elsewhere.

Sword Art Online: Lost Song is a solid Japanese Action RPG that has enough to keep old and new players interested with touches of innovation here and there, even if it does fall short in certain areas.

Assembly Required is a solid, but very short, entry. Here's hoping that episode three can start to pull it back around.

A cute little platformer that will impress younger gamers while it lasts, but which is unlikely to engage even older children for long.

Coast Guard struggles to keep its head above water and offers very little to keep you going back for more.

Poncho is memorable with its lush pixel art and catchy music but also for its frustrating level design relying on a single infuriating mechanic.

The fact that it's a mechanically solid sporting experience can't save it from mediocrity or a lack of any real reason to come back, and that's really the worst sin a sports game can commit.

TellTale's meandering Game of Thrones ends with an episode that is very much like the rest of the series. Just "alright".

A solid, functional episode, but one clearly aimed at a younger audience and therefore less involving than previous Telltale adventures.

A powerful standalone expansion that feels like a last hurrah for Blizzard's seminal RTS franchise.

Accessible, well made and full of really, really cool moments, it’s hard not to love it. Add in a perfectly crafted Star Wars dressing and an impressive amount of cinematography and you have my favourite multiplayer shooter in years.

Anno 2205 offers plenty of enjoyment, but may not appeal to the hardcore strategist.

New handling model shakes up a familiar game, and is well worth a look.

An incredibly fun and action-packed experience, perfect for local co-op.

Stella Glow does a lot of things well, but it also has annoyances that hold it back from being an easy recommendation on the 3DS to any SRPG fan.

Heart of Thorns is a worthy addition to the Guild Wars 2 world that brings enough new features to the table to keep the franchise going for a few more years.

Everything a great horror game should be, with a fantastic story and a beautifully bleak world to explore.

Bethesda have done it again, refining the formula for open-world RPGs and delivering a vast, deep and involving experience.

An essential purchase, and although it's a case of simply being more Tomb Raider, lessons have been learned along the way to make this one of the most refined and enjoyable blockbuster rides available.

This is my favourite rhythm game across all platforms, with its song selection spreading across all genres, perfect core gameplay, and fantastic presentation.


A phenomenal multiplayer along with a larger, improved zombies mode mean that, although the solo campaign is a slight misstep, Black Ops is the best call of Duty on the current gen consoles.

The Room Three expands on what the first two games did and raises the bar for puzzle games in general to a whole other level.

Rodea The Sky Soldier on 3DS has very few good things going for it, overshadowed by atrocious controls and bland visuals. It is designed to be replayed, but I don’t ever want to experience it again.

A perfectly serviceable racer with great looks, plenty of customisation options, and passable driving, but it’s a real shame that latest reboot of this franchise had the hallmarks of the greats in the series’ past and could have been truly special.

WWE 2K16 is the team back on their way to greatness, and a definite turning point in how wrestling games should be made.

The best Halo campaign since Reach, Guardians is a return to form - but more Chief next time, please, and less microtransactions.

An intriguing puzzle game let down by dull visuals and tiresome design.

The definition of average, Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden isn’t good enough to delight you with the subject matter, but nor is it terrible enough to incite your rage over how bad it is. It’s simultaneously very competent and very unspectacular.
