It was, in case you missed it, an E3 filled with grisly violence and torture porn. Here's Lara Croft falling on sticks and fighting off rapists! There's Agent whatnot pummelling some nuns! How did Nintendo decide to kick off its conference, then? Kirby yanking a rusty nail out of his foot? Muddy Mole - Google him - punching an old lady out of a skyscraper and onto the spinning blades of a passing chopper? Nope. Nintendo set things rolling with what still feels like its most disturbing franchise ever - Pikmin.

Good news, everyone! Civilization 5: Gods & Kings isn't that good.

Sometimes it feels like everyone has a game inside them: some vision they would have already made if it wasn't for a lack of spare time, money, programming skill or motivation. It's a desire so widespread that it made LittleBigPlanet a hit even though many buyers struggled to make even one basic level.

What a strange beast Anachronox is. Ion Storm's 'other' game, unfortunately buried at the time by Deus Ex hype and Daikatana-related snickering, is a grand and ambitious adventure with trimmings of Japanese RPG. Sumptuously weird, it's set in a sci-fi world that bustles with imagination, filled with characters that dodge every video game stereotype. It's an unusual, brilliant thing.

Tentacle Wars' stages contain embryos, little blobs that grow at a steady pace. It's quite nice watching them swell, their numbered hearts ticking upwards. But at some point, baby needs lebensraum.
