The PC version of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, SEGA's re-release of the classic Disney-inspired Genesis/Megadrive platformer, is locked at 30FPS. This puts it on par with the console version, but fans who were holding out for smoother animations are very disappointed.

Farming Simulator is exactly what it says it is. It's not Harvest Moon, nor is it a chance to mess around an open world with dangerous farming equipment. There aren't really any objectives, no goals - you just run a farm. Harvesting, planting, cutting grass... this is a farming simulator.

The Wii U is now available to purchase from Waitrose for £150 for the basic pack and £199 for the premium pack. This puts the basic pack at a slightly cheaper price point than the 3DS XL. Other supermarkets, as well as some electronics stores, may be poised to follow suit.

Sudoku is one of the most popular puzzle games on earth, with endless amounts of variations, apps, books and even competitions dedicated to the "ancient" mindbender. FlowDoku hopes to stand out amongst them, offering a simple variation that uses shapes instead of numbers.

Heavy Fire Shattered Spear's biggest mistake is that it looks and feels too much like a Call of Duty game. Sure, the graphics aren't great, the voice acting is like something out of a bad YouTube video and the gameplay, nothing like Activision's behemoth franchise, leaves a lot to be desired. All of that just makes Heavy Fire an average, generic title most people will overlook. That it looks so much like Call of Duty - with its setpieces and "foreign ...

Think that selling a game is as easy as buying some copies and waiting for delivery? Think again! An indie games store owner has struggled to get even a single copy of Grand Theft Auto V for his shop, and the things Rockstar need him to do to change that are more than a little ridiculous...

Diablo 3 is now out, and although not everybody will be able to play it until later in the week, we can now reveal the install sizes for both the physical and digital versions of the game.

Diablo 3 supposedly runs at 60FPS on PlayStation 3, a pretty impressive feat that puts it into a very small subset of titles released for consoles this generation. Don't get too excited though. It supposedly drops quite often and, when it does, it drops hard.

There's a lot of mixed voices about Disney's Planes, the spin-off from Pixar's 2006 hit Cars. Whether disappointed with the quality of the actual film itself (Planes currently "boasts" a 39 on Metacritic, with a user score lower than that) or if you've got wrapped up in some of the other minor controversies that have come out over the past few months, it's unlikely you're in a rush to go out and by merchandise or games based on the IP.

Warframe is now going to be available as a free download when the PS4 launches in a few months time, but it won't be alone. Digital Extremes have this weekend announced Warframe Nexus, a mobile app for iPhone and Android that allows you to organize your in-game tasks and character without being sat at the PlayStation 4.

Reports are coming in that the Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Collection will be delayed into 2014 for at least the US territory. Square Enix representatives have told multiple visitors to their booth at PAX that the long awaited JRPG set will be available next year. As of writing, there's no official confirmation, the EU press site still has it labelled as 2013 and so, of course, there's no explanation as to where this delay has suddenly come from.

The king has been murdered by his three children, but not without siring a illegitimate heir. After having an affair with a dragon (who we're assured was in female human form at the time), a child is born. You're that child. The future of the kingdom is in your hands, Dragon Commander.

The Vita is a treasure trove of titles, offering more or less everything you might want to play within only a few taps of your grasp. Real Boxing is the first of its kind though, and is the sort of game you might not know you want until you see it. With a sharp idea unavailable anywhere else on the Vita, you may be able to overlook the fairly constant shortcomings and see your boxer through to the final belt.

It's possible that a Vita entry in the Infamous franchise may be in the works. This was perhaps unwittingly revealed during an interview with Nate Fox of Sucker Punch.

It's fair to say that the 2DS reveal has garnered mixed reactions. Some love the idea and are especially excited at the potential this has for their children, others see it as ugly and not cheap enough. Nowhere will this have got more out of hand than on YouTube, and that's only evidenced by the fact Nintendo have disabled comments and rating on the 2DS reveal trailer.
