The question, of course, with such a title is not whether or not the game is good—"Bioshock" is a great game, an all-time classic—but whether it translates well to mobile devices.

So, how does it stack up to last year's version? Very well indeed, though perhaps not brilliantly.

Recently, two different hack-n-slash-esque titles have hit the market, and in a genre where titles can be seen as far too similar, these two offering couldn't be more different. I am looking at Sacred 3 and Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Edition. The former is available on the PS3, while the latter has (finally) made its way to the PS4.

If you can ignore the disjointed animation and pretend like Kicker is just a petulant mini-Autobot who was raised by humans, you can have a lot of fun with "Transformers: Energon."

As a fan of the franchise, I am unconvinced by "Wolfenstein: The New Order."

At $80, the iDevices Kitchen Thermometer isn't exactly inexpensive, but it does, truly, work wonderfully. It is a solid solution, well designed.

Judge it by its size, do you?

This is a whole new 'Transformers' continuity, now with Mini-Cons.

There is much fun to be had here, even if there isn't a manual.

There are also talking trolls, which everyone sort of acknowledges as weird, but again, magic.
