Following on from last week’s eShop Halloween sale, which is still underway, a trio of spooky games head to Wii U and 3DS this week.

It’s easy to be critical about Horse Racing 2016 on Xbox One. Not only is it one of the ugliest games of recent times – a fact not helped by the inconsistent art direction – but it’s also basic to the extreme. Moreover, it’s £23.99. Twenty-four ruddy quid. When the product listing went live earlier …

Somebody wise once said that if you’re going to rip off a videogame, make sure it’s a good one. It’s equally wise to ensure that it has enough quirks and unique features to have its own merits.
