Ever had a leak and wished that you could simply conjure up a plumber? Your wish is Nintendo’s command – sort of. Now you can take their moustachioed tradie mascot and make him do what you want, as you construct new 2D Mario side-scrolling adventures with this natty bit of kit. Mario ephemera from four different eras is available to plop where you want. Enemies, power-ups, bonuses, bricks, pipes and heaps more all become your toys – as do actual toys in amiibos. Constructed something that you reckon rocks and wanna share it? Sure! Just upload it and let the world love your work... or loathe it. Everyone’s a critic!

It’s already a year since Destiny first brought its sweeping woosh of space epic to our game systems. To celebrate, The Taken King allows stragglers to catch up, housing the original game, two previously released expansion packs and a brand new one – you guessed it, The Taken King – all wrapped up in one neat little package. If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, think first-person shooter set in a world that’s not a million parsecs removed from a certain galaxy far, far away. You’re a Guardian, defending Earth’s last safe city from all manner of alien races who want in. No pressure, natch...

Soccer’s just for blokes, right? Not on your nelly. Did you watch the brilliant Women's World Cup? Clearly EA Sports did and wisely acted on it, introducing 12 women's national teams for FIFA 16. Of course you can just play it all blokey as usual, and no matter which way you go, you’ll be in for the sharpest FIFA experience yet. A mass of enhancements have been applied to defence, including more control over slide tackles. Attack hasn’t been overlooked though, with dribbling improvements, new finishing moves, and even control over which part of your boot you hoof the ball with when striking. Game on!

The nostalgia is strong with this one. Disney Infinity 3.0 will let you play without limits as you explore the Star Wars universe - both the original and prequel trilogies - and fight (or join) the Dark Side. Wreak havoc in new play sets with new characters that bring a New Hope to the franchise. Additionally, Disney Infinity 3.0 will showcase characters and locations from Marvel, Cars , Inside Out and Frozen , that will be largely ignored in order for us to spend more time with Obi-Wan. Get ready to make some more room on your shelves when this latest "toys-to-life" title hits stores.
