TTT isn’t that good. Blowing up stuff is fun, but you’ll end up fighting the controls and the game becomes a grind if you play it any real length of time. If my eight- year-old son would rather play something else, you probably will too.

Don’t mince words: The Walking Dead: The Game is something special. By giving players the option to craft relationships and make choices that fill out the story, The Walking Dead wraps you up in its events and makes you care in a way few video games can. Yes, there are moments where Lee’s animations look jerky and technical issues remind you this is just a game, but the story is what’s driving the action here, and it’s a tale no one should miss.

Inventive storytelling blends with some of the most bizarre sights you'll experience in a 2D platformer to make Black Knight Sword a real gem on the presentation front. It's deliciously weird from start to finish, but that weirdness only partially distracts from the repetitious, uninspiring gameplay and brutal difficulty. For a game that's so strongly unique, Black Knight Sword sadly bleeds out much of its charm through a few gaping flaws.

The bizarre artistic direction of Just Dance 4's audio/visual components, coupled with its absurd choreography, cripple the player experience found within. This dance party game may illicit a few laughs, but nothing more worthwhile. Just Dance 4 is a generator of awkward moments, an engine powering missteps and bodily mayhem. Whether this is frustrating or fun will often come down to the blood alcohol level of the participants.

Modern Combat 4 might be a small step backwards but it’s still an impressive, action-packed adventure. At its best, the game offers up real moments of intense gunplay. Enemies closing in, planes flying overhead, too much panicked comm chatter, and you trying to line up the perfect sniper head shot. All while you’re on the train on your way to work. But be sure to check expectations for the by-the-numbers nature of the experience at the door.

Everything ESPN Sports Connection does has been achieved already. Older sports games - including the original Wii’s pack-in, Wii Sports - accomplished the same goals better and without embarrassing technical issues. The convenience of bundling these particular games into one box simply isn’t worth it – there’s so little to motivate and reward players that the limited novelty of competitive sports on Wii U vanishes almost immediately.

Funky Barn is very basic but passably entertaining. As a lower-price downloadable game it’d be much better value, but as a $50/£30 Wii U launch title it’s more difficult to recommend. Still, the touchscreen control works well, and it's by no means a disaster. It bodes well for the next Harvest Moon.

The scale of PlanetSide 2’s battles is often breathtaking, as lines of tanks fire at bases while aircraft light up the sky and hundreds of players fill the scene with healing beams and lethal weapons fire. With versatile classes, deep progression systems and various styles of air and ground vehicles, there’s no shortage of ways to contribute to a fight, and on a coordinated team in PlanetSide 2’s open environments, Sony Online Entertainment’s game of nonstop war can be a truly incredible competitive experience. While there are still some polish issues to work out, PlanetSide 2 is one of the best online shooters you can play.

Beyond its obvious appeal to Sega fans, this is a rich, bold and substantial arcade racer that demands your attention. It might not be quite as finely tuned as Mario Kart, but it’s a good deal more ambitious, and different enough that it deserves a place alongside it in your gaming library.

Ultimately, there is a feeling here of missed opportunity. Junction Point Studios tried hard to revolutionize the wheel, but Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two leaves you wishing the developer had refined the mechanics of the original before embarking on its more intrepid endeavors. The game still delivers on the charm and occasionally hits some truly inspired highs, but fundamental issues hold it back from ever getting within sight of its goals. If you’re a Disney fan, there’s still much joy to be gleaned out of Epic Mickey 2, but those expecting anything outside of its nostalgic heart should, sadly, look elsewhere.

Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper, while damaged in the shift from the other HD systems to the Wii U, ends up maintaining its appeal as one of this series’ best installments. The new content may be enough to draw established players back in for a second look, and Nintendo loyalists who’ve previously ignored the franchise could find a good jumping-on point here.

Transformers: Prime - The Game is fun while it lasts, and fun in any form is more than Nintendo fans could have hoped for after years of other, terrible Transformers titles. This game offers the same old story with the same old characters one more time, adding nothing new to the tired old rivalry between Optimus, Megatron, and all the rest of the robots in disguise. But the inventive, dynamic gameplay that captures the appeal of stepping into the shape-shifting body of a giant bot rescues the entire package from what otherwise might have been mediocrity. This is a truly fun game, and fans of the Transformers: Prime cartoon show should absolutely check it out.

As I like to say, there are two words in the term “video game”, and you have to execute both well in order to be considered great. The “video”, or “music video” portion of Jet Set Radio amounts to something so special that I think anyone who truly believes in the artistic potential of the medium should experience it. But the “game” element is so trying in this version that I have to recommend that gamers experience it elsewhere.

I think that’s the best way to come into Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse: don’t expect much. Brian and Stewie are funny and there are plenty of gags, but the gameplay is nothing crazy and the levels aren’t super-intriguing. This is an episode of the show merged with an average third-person shooter. There’s a lot to enjoy, but none of it will knock your socks off.

Initially it’s a pleasure to burn every item I receive in Little Inferno. The flash that signals ignition, the way items respond to being incinerated – it all activates some primal part of my brain that can sit in front of a camp fire for hours, sinking deep into my head as I watch the fingers of the flames. The vague story and uninspired puzzles weren’t special enough to keep my attention after that initial sense of awe waned, though, and when viewed alongside some annoying constraints that make the gameplay feel unnecessarily constrained, Little Inferno’s few great ideas fall apart like so much ash.

For a long time, Wii owners have had to accept diluted versions of FIFA; the graphics weren’t high definition and the gameplay didn’t have the same headline features. The Wii U should have changed all of that – this, after all, is the first of a next generation of consoles. But things haven’t moved on and the stark truth is Nintendo owners still don’t get the same experience they’d get on other consoles. The GamePad functionality does enhance certain aspects of the game – tactics and substitutions – but they are, of course, secondary to gameplay, which on the Wii U feels second division compared to the Xbox and PS3’s Premier League.
