Review | Sonic Lost World review
'Hog roast.
You could cut a heck of a trailer from Sonic Lost World. Slice its levels up into two-to-five-second snippets and you'd find dozens of moments of visual magic. OPEN ON: Sonic arcing around a loop at full tilt. CUT TO: Sonic skipping past enemies, spinning and somersaulting over mechanical ladybugs before punting them into the ether. CUT TO: Sonic skidding across grind rails out of the screen, sprinting across walls, pinging between bumpers like a spiky pinball, leaping and bouncing as the world rotates around him. CGI close-up, witty one-liner, title splash, done!

Review | Skylanders SWAP Force review
No half measures.
"Steady as she goes" might well be the design mantra for this third entry in Activision's hugely successful kids franchise. Vicarious Visions takes over from series originator Toys for Bob, and while comparisons with Infinity Ward and Treyarch's shared custody of the Call of Duty series may be premature, this certainly has the feel of a second studio on babysitting duty. There are additions and improvements here, but it's more a refinement of the template put in place by last year's Skylanders Giants than a meaningful step forwards.

Video | Here's a look at some more of Velocity's sequel
2X the action in Futurlab's Vita follow-up.
Velocity went down a treat when it came out last year, and when it was repurposed for the Vita not long after it became one of the best reasons to own Sony's handheld. So it wasn't too much of a surprise to learn that there was a sequel in the works - though it was nice to find out that FuturLab's really pushing itself for the follow-up. Building on the fast-paced, quick-witted shooting of the original, Velocity 2X transposes its teleporting mechanics to on-foot sections for some supplementary Turrican-style thrills.

Feature | BMX bandits: The joy of Grand Theft Auto 5's bikes
Pedal power.
One of the simplest rewards in GTA 5 is the clicking of a free-wheeling BMX as you glide down a giant hill. It may have (once upon a time) cost me actual health to get to the top of it, but mounting the summit and beginning that leisurely cruise to the bottom is a blissful thing.
