Costume Quest's feisty pack of kids created a story I didn't want to end. Trundling around on my robot wheels was the most enjoyable challenge I've had, off the saddle, for a long time... read now
Winterbottom's off-kilter rhyming world of pies ensures that even its most complex levels are fun. It reached for laughs rather than intellect to keep me playing, something I preferred to overly worthy games like Braid... read now

Trials HD XBLA hooked my bike riding glands as I kept coming back to throw my little biker guy into one more crash test hell... read now
