It’s amazing, but true – Trash Panic has the same maddeningly addictive qualities as Tetris. The concept is simple, there’s a bin on screen and objects are dropped or ‘smashed’ from above into it. The junk piles up and you need to keep smashing bikes into TVs and chairs into boats in order to crumple it down and so leave space above for more trash.
Finnish developers Frozenbyte pride themselves on originality, but Trine prompts obvious comparisons with LittleBigPlanet. Both are scrolling platformers with physics-based puzzles – even Trine’s voice-over is reminiscent of Stephen Fry’s musings.

As you may have surmised from our introduction, it doesn't quite live up to the expectations it lays out for itself...
Sweet Tooth and company are back in another ultraviolent reboot of the series that redefined car-combat as we know it. Is this just an old-school revival, or is there enough going on under the hood to keep things fresh and interesting?
