This Week In Games: LittleBig Super Smash Wars

For many people, this week will be all about one thing: A bit of the ol’ smashy smashy. MegaMan vs Charizard. You get my drift. It’s not huge like last week, but it ain’t small.


Super Smash Bros WiiU (WiiU)

What is it? Four player versus brawler with Nintendo’s (and occasionally others’) favourite characters.
Should you care? Only if you and your friends want to beat each other up with the likes of Yoshi, Charizard, Zelda, and MegaMan.


LittleBigPlanet 3 (PS3)

What is it? Physics-based co-op platformer with lots of charm.
Should you care? LBP games are usually good. This new version has different characters with different strengths, such as gliding through the air, or toggling between strength and speed.


LittleBigPlanet 3 Extras Edition (PS4)

What is it? The PS4 version of the above.
Should you care? The titular “extras” are costumes for Sackboy, themed around Dragon Age: Inquisition and iconic Playstation characters, such as Ellie, or a Helghast.


LittleBigPlanet Marvel Super Hero Edition (PS Vita)

What is it? This is the original LBP Vita game, re-released with extras from the Marvel universe.
Should you care? If you didn’t play it before, this would be the one to get. There are new Marvel minigames as well as costumes, but it’s probably not worth a re-buy.


Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions (PC, PS3, PS4, 360, One, OSX, Linux)

What is it? Arcade shoot-em-up with copious amounts of basic shapes. This one features 3D backgrounds, similar to Super Stardust HD.
Should you care? Yes. Frankly, it looks great. Many returning modes as well as new ones — though it’s unclear from early info whether Pacifism Mode is coming back. It better be!

Did we forget anything? Make sure to pop it below!
