Sonic Superstars review

Respectable platforming and classic Sonic elements are undermined by inconsistent new ideas. Sonic Superstars Collecting Chaos Emeralds in Sonic games as a child always felt special. Chaos Emeralds were an achievement for only the most dedicated Sonic players. Not so withSonic Superstars, the latest from Sega. After grabbing the first couple with ease, I forgot they existed. They’re an opportunity squandered, but unfortunately that’s Sonic Superstars on the whole. For me, the best Sonic zones are not just about speed but flow and momentum....

The cosiest game of the winter may well be Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley

I watched it by accident and quite enjoyed it, but I can’t remember anything about it now. All I remember are the doughy faces of the Moomins, with their big eyes and cuddly bodies. I don’t remember Snufkin. Was he always a thorn in society’s side? Because he is here, in the new game, inSnufkin: Melody of Moominvalley. He’s a proper nature warrior. Goose Game and Snufkin share similar vibes....

What looks like a cut Assassin's Creed Mirage post-credits scene points to a huge shift in the series' story

Fan finds possible tie-in to future games. Thus, the big twist revealed here is expected to be something we see more of in future games. For those who’d rather be left unspoiled, this is your last chance to turn away now. “The Shift was 21st century history,” the second Animus Operator replies. “Ancient history.” (Remember theoriginal plan to end Assassin’s Creed 3 with Desmond blasting off on a spaceship?) Of course, the fact this was removed from Mirage’s final release begs further questions....

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 review

Spider-Man’s always been a busy guy. He’s got classes to attend - or in this slightly older Peter Parker’s case now, teach. InMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, this stuff can get a little squashed. There’s a good chance all this noise is actually the point. Then there’s the return of Mr. Spidey’s action also remains a treat. There are some hiccups, namely with issues that the series has always had. It’s also fairly easy to argue that Spider-Man 2’s stealth overall is a little basic....

I wish every game had Subpar Pool's card system

All of this, though, at the discretion of the player. Second Wave put a lot of power in the players' hands. Onward and outward - those are just the first three options Second Wave offered. I love Second Wave because it feels like a great compliment to the player to be offered it. You, Second Wave suggests, are a player of great creativity and attention to detail. You’re in the kitchen up to your elbows in spaghetti sauce....
