Sackboy: A Big Adventure — Sew Fantastic
Sackboy: A Big Adventure may be a departure from the user-generated, level-fashioning focus of its forebears, but what it lacks in customization, it more than makes up for in fun.

The Batman mythos has evolved over the years since its inception and the strength of the characters; both good and evil; adds additional weight and focus to an already interesting premise.
Chronos: Before the Ashes — Maze Runner

Out of Space — fight aliens, keep your ship clean

Tools Up! is a game I have previously played, albeit a few years back at Gamescom. The premise of the game is sort of like Moving Out, where you must quickly get into a house, but instead of moving furniture, you are looking to decorate the…
