- Delivers a deafening roar of an RPG adventure, but its bark is louder than its bite. The beast might've learned a few new tricks, but it can't hide its age.
NBA 2K13
- A fantastically well well put-together game hamstrung only by the inherent limitations of the sport itself. No other Wii U title offers such great value for money.
Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth
- We appluad Battle for Earth's unique approach to simplistic fighting, but its lack of content an depth won't impress anyone but the most junior gamers.
- Among the toughest games on the console and none the worse for it. Want to hear what your own screams sound like? You won't find better on the 3DS.
Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels
- As long as you don't mind a game that tries to trick and/or kill you at every oppurtunity, The Lost Levels is a true test for even the most die-hard Mario fan.
- Is it long? Undoubtedly. Hard? Inarguably. Unusual? Certainly. Worth the wait? Probably. Brilliant? Absolutely. Should you try it? Hell, yeah.
- Typical: this is some of the most outlandishly entertaining driving we've had on 3DS and there's barely any of it. One for the heavy of wallet.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
- Sega fans will enjoy this solid port but it's far from a smooth ride. If you can stomach the rough edges this has enough individual character to stand alone.
- This flawed gem could have been a classic to rival the games that inspired it. Like its characters, it's well intentioned, but ultimately commits too many sins.
- An original and perfectly solid game, but there's no real reason to keep playing beyond the initial weird-factor.
- An interesting and stylish game that unfortunately lacks the charm necessary to cover the problems of the port.
- Look, we won't beat around the bush here. It's a game about tanks blowing up other tanks. What more do you want?
- The game retains its charms - it's a truly classic retro experience - but it also retains its more repellent aspects.
- This is undoubtedly a well thought-out handheld port, but it's still slightly lacking for the changes. One for the kids.
- The game is undeniably lovingly made, but it's also disappointing brief. It's - yep - the fastest fun in the west.
