The LEGO Movie Videogame

Fun, but it just doesn't have the same appeal as other entries in the series. I should have watched the movie first. The game has given me plenty of... more

LEGO The Hobbit

After the impressive voice acting and general spectacle of the main adventure starts to fade, you’re left with an altogether dull world in which to roam. It's another Lego game! Beyond a new setting and some minor tweaks, it's the... more

OlliOlli

Valiant Hearts: The Great War

Hyrule Warriors

Hyrule Warriors is fun, pays decent fan service, and uses the Dynasty Warriors template well. If you know what Dynasty Warriors is about (bash out combos in an attempt to... more

Skylanders: Trap Team

Activision's toys-to-life series is still wonderfully entertaining, but Trap Team's relentless encouragement to buy new toys can be draining on your enthusiasm – and your wallet. As much as I try and tell myself otherwise, it is a kids game, and if you're... more

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker isn't the most taxing puzzle game in the world, but it's well-paced and enjoyable all the same. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is causing me a lot of trouble. Not from a... more

Bayonetta 2

Bayonetta 2 is a system seller. It's a Nintendo-published game that is rarely seen, and a game that will legitimately make non-Wii U owners jealous. I don't think I enjoy Bayonetta, and its sequel, for the reasons gaming's... more
