Super Toy Cars is a decent enough tabletop racer that will have fans of the classics like Micro Machines taking a quick nostalgic trip down memory lane, but it never manages to live up to the games from which it clearly takes its inspiration. You’ll get some fun out of throwing your car around the cute tracks, but the temperamental physics and inaccurate contact between your car and its surroundings has the potential to frustrate players before that happens. Not a bad game, then, but one that is a few grid positions behind its competitors.

The Count Lucanor is a mostly enjoyable horror tale that is only prevented from being a truly great game thanks to a couple of performance issues and relatively short duration. At its best, the game offers a surprisingly rich story, intriguing (and genuinely creepy) characters and surroundings, and enjoyable puzzle-based tasks to ponder over. The candle and saving systems add to the stress imposed by the castle, forcing you to choose between being safe in the present or keeping supplies for later on (although a harder difficulty setting which provides less of these items could have worked wonders). If you’re looking for something a little bit different, this could well be the game for you.

The Rivers of Alice: Extended Version is an absolute treat for the senses. Your eyes and ears will thank you for introducing it into their lives and thanks to the training it will receive, your brain power will finally be strong enough to work out which shoe goes on which foot when it's 4:30 in the morning. As wonderful as this may be, the game's 'freezing' characteristic will start to grate on you should you fall victim to it and whilst it isn't game (or soul) destroying, it will naturally dampen your experience.
