This week is a big one for BIG VIDEO GAME BRANDS THAT YOU RECOGNISE.

If you’re into Call of Duty, then Black Ops III is out this week. If you’re into Anno then Anno 2205 is out. And if you’re into Adventure Time?

Wait there’s another bloody Adventure Time game? They make so many of them!


Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations (PS4/3DS)

What is it? It’s an Adventure Time games that I didn’t know existed until right this second.
Should you care? I’m too scared to slag off Adventure Time on here SO I WON’T.


ANNO 22005 (PC)

What is it? The city building sim you know and (probably) love. Only in the future.
Should you care? Yeah you probably should.


Call of Duty: Black Ops III (360/PS3/Xbox One/PS4/PC)

What is it? It’s this year’s Call of Duty game. It’s a new one in the Black Ops series, and they’re usually pretty good.
Should you care? See, I think so. Call of Duty needs a fresh pair of legs, but the Black Ops series usually delivers.


Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition (Xbox One/PS4)

What is it? It’s Darksiders 2, with better visuals and whatnot.
Should you care? Darksiders 2 was a good game and it probably deserves a new lease of life. But I don’t know if I can forgive that ‘Deathinitive’ pun.


Euro Fishing (PC)

What is it? A fishing game with some good production values.
Should you care? The trailer is the best, trying to make fishing look cool. Fishing might be fun, but it’s never gonna be cool.


Need For Speed (Xbox One/PS4)

What is it? It’s a new Need for Speed game!
Should you care? I honestly don’t know enough about this one to judge. Sorry!


PONCHO (PC)

What is it? A 2D platformer with some weird mechanics.
Should you care? This game looks polished. It also looks like it was inspired by Fez. Not necessarily a bad thing.


Prominence (PC)

What is it? A first-person point and click adventure set in a sci-fi universe.
Should you care? This looks nice. I’m fond of “WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS ABANDONED SPACE SHIP mysteries, so I’m keen.


Shovel Knight (PS4/Wii U/3DS)

What is it? Man, Shovel Knight just keeps on coming out on other platforms, huh?
Should you care? You go you little Shovel Knight! Spread your message far and wide!


Sonic Lost World

What is it? Another Sonic game you probably want to avoid.
Should you care? Probably not. It’s a bit average.


The Living Dungeon (PC)

What is it? It’s kinda like a tabletop video game thing.
Should you care? It looks really good actually. Has received a lot of positive reviews.


The Secret Order 2: Masked Intent (PC)

What is it? I have no idea what this game is or what’s going on. I am intrigued.
Should you care? It looks nice. Is this like Myst? God I dunno. Check it out.
