Cartoon Network has released a lot of mobile games based on its popular series Adventure Time, but Game Wizard is the first title that allows players to build their own adventures. The game follows Finn and Jake as they take on an all-new villain named Doodle Wizard and his army of evil sketches. Players can explore the open world of the Land of Ooo in adventure mode, or design their own levels using a Pixel Press powered Create mode.

Adventure Time Game Wizard is almost like getting two games in one. The first being a platform game where players can battle the Doodle Wizard after Finn and Jake use a magic pencil to draw themselves into a magic book. The platform part of the game includes different locations from the show such as the Grasslands and Candy Kingdom, and the ability to unlock all your favorite Adventure Time characters like BMO, Ice King, and Flame Princess. The game also features “Weird Al” Yankovic as the Doodle Wizard and all the original voices from the show.

2K and Gearbox Software have just announced a extremely limited collector's edition for its Borderlands: The Handsome Collection coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The $400 "Claptrap-in-a-Box Edition" not only includes the definitive versions of both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, but it also ships with a remote-controlled Claptrap.

The Claptrap figure features PCB gyro technology so it can balance on one wheel and a real working camera is his eye. Users can see Claptrap's POV from the camera and control it from any iOS or Android mobile device using the official Claptrap app. The Handsome Collection also ships with 12 exclusive lithographs and a collectible steel case.

As expected, Gameloft has officially announced Dungeon Hunter 5 is "coming soon" to iOS and Android devices . The fifth installment of the franchise will be a direct sequel to Dungeon Hunter 4 picking up after the demon war. The game has been rebuilt from the ground up to "harness the power of new devices" and it will include a multuplayer mode where players can build their own dungeons.

Each player will have his or her own hideout that they must protect from other dungeon crawlers. They can do this by building their own dungeon with their own traps and minions. A player who raids another player will not only have to survive that person's dungeon but they will also have to defeat the player himself. Loot stolen from raids can then be used in the new fusion system. The fusion system will allow players to combine two different weapons to create a new and better weapon. This is important because a player's character will "outgrow" weapons as they level up.
