Don't sleep on this smart reinvention of a classic arcade game
If you're going to fashion a game after arcade classic Breakout, Siesta Fiesta is the way to do it. Mojo Bones' title isn't another tired clone; it's not some unofficial sequel or hybrid RPG - it's a game that takes the spirit of Breakout, and looking further back, the spirit of pinball, and reworks their core concepts into something new. Something inspired, even.
When Mark Antony instructs his men to, "Cry 'havoc' and let slip the dogs of war!" we doubt he's referring to actual dogs, let alone ones wearing mind-controlling hats. Yet here we are in Ghosts, steering an Alsatian via back-mounted camera as he slinks through long grass and crunches on throats as if they were chew toys.
This could be golfing's biggest comeback since Tiger Woods returned after, ahem, crashing his car. After all, Nintendo's biggest star hasn't been seen on the green since Advance Tour was released nearly a decade ago. Thanks to his other recreational habits (football, tennis, rescue missions), it doesn't seem that long, but it is a welcome return and with EA and the Big Cat Known To His Mother As Eldrick going their separate ways, if you want to play a golf game in the near future you'll have to do so with a cartoon plumber.
We were sceptical at first of Pokémon Art Academy, given that limiting our artistic talents to drawing Pokémon is like telling Van Gogh to stick just to flowers. There's a Pikachu-shaped hole in the art market, though, so why not give the people what they want?
In a world in which children are going missing and giant statues of cows are mysteriously appearing across the land, only one thing can save the day: pulling some God. Damn. BLOX. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson plays hero, Mallo, in Pullblox: The Pullening. Coming to cinemas this summer. Cut, print, done.
Mario Kart 8 is the first Wii U game... Well we mean to say that it's the first of Nintendo's next generation that feels as though it needed the new console, and the new outlook that's come with it, to exist..
A ringmaster, belly dancer and geriatric wake up in a locked room. Sounds like a bad joke, but this is no laughing matter. Turns out they're contestants in a game of survival, a curious blend of Saw's murderous machinations and Golden Balls' trust exercises.
There are few situations in which we find ourselves yearning for the delineated review scores of yesteryear. You know the sort: scores separated uselessly into categories like 'gameplay', 'sound' or 'length'. Perhaps the most damning thing we can say about DreamRift's handheld Disney spin-off is that it deserves to be appraised that way.
