I wish Fuse was worse. Obviously, I'd prefer if it was better, but after playing through its six-mission story campaign and various co-op survival matches, I suspect that was never going to happen. This is a game of small ideas and low ambition, and that's rarely fertile soil for a good game.

I can tell you about the rules that drive Stickets, but you should be the one left to uncover the strategies those rules allow for. Easy to learn, hard to master is the puzzle game mantra, and Stickets is both. It's wonderful, too.

Of all Sony's philanthropic ideals - the all-inclusive approach to indie developers, the generosity of PlayStation Plus and the free packet of French fancies that's likely to be bundled with every PS4 console - there's one that remains unsung. PlayStation C.A.M.P. - that's Creator Audition Mash-up Project, by the way - is a little department within Japan Studio that's responsible for some of Sony's oddest games.

Nintendo of Japan has revealed a slew of new Wii U hardware items, including a beefier battery for the console's touchscreen GamePad.

The three-person Polish developer Acid Wizard's upcoming survival/horror roguelike Darkwood is about the fear of the unknown. When the small studio launched its Indiegogo campaign earlier this month, it was facing it's own fear of the unknown as its $40K funding goal didn't get off to a rousing start.

Dota 2 developer Valve has detailed how its new communication ban system is turning its online multiplayer battler into a friendlier place.

It's been five long years since the last Grid, Codemasters' bold and often brash reboot of its Race Driver series. So much has happened since then - including three separate Dirt games - that it's nice to have it back. Grid 2 may not have quite the impact of its predecessor - I liked it but didn't quite fall in love with it - but it's a solid, smart racer nevertheless.

When Riptide released 18 months after the original Dead Island, there was some cause for concern; Techland, a developer not necessarily renowned for the quality of its output, seemed to be pushing itself too far. Those fears were borne out by a sequel that papered over some of the cracks but couldn't overcome the shabbiness at the heart of the original design. When Techland announced another first-person zombie game a mere month after Riptide's release, mere weeks since it announced an all-new game and mere days after the release of a new Call of Juarez, it's understandable those same concerns rise again.

The Last of Us' Season Pass has been detailed and will contain one piece of story DLC and two packs of multiplayer DLC.

Last summer I wrote about Zineth, a free pop art-inspired cel-shaded skating game by indie developer Arcane Kids. Now that very developer is at it again, re-imagining its fan-favourite skating game as a first-person "maximalist skater" for PC and Mac entitled Perfect Stride.
