Digital Foundry | Face-Off: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Four-way fury: Wii U takes on PS3, 360 and PC.
Having caught us off-guard with Eurogamer's 9/10 score last year, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is Sumo Digital's shining moment - a clear step forward from the studio's first stab at a Sega-themed racer in 2010. With new features such as terra-forming tracks, and cars that smoothly morph between planes and boats in response, the good news is that the execution very much lives up to the concept. These are far more than gimmicky bullet-points to occupy the game's blurb-space; instead, the flying and boating mechanics have been an area of major focus, resulting in a starkly different breed of racer to its precursor.

Does Disney's latest family blockbuster do for gaming what Toy Story did for action figures?
Toy Story for video games! Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the Nintendo generation! Disney's Wreck-It Ralph, a movie about the inner lives of arcade characters, invites some pretty weighty comparisons and it's perhaps understandable that it doesn't quite live up to its promise. It does, however, offer your only chance to see Q*Bert on the big screen.

Review | Wide Sky review
Skylander.
Video games are nothing if not pro-hedgehog. In life, the spiny mammal has it rough. He spends the year either quaking in bushes hiding from ravenous foxes and owls, skittering across main roads between the oily weight of traffic or sleep-dead in the cosy grip of hibernation.
