I expected a lot more from this title and it definitely disappointed.

Pridefest probably seemed like a very good idea, and it certainly is a game that represents not only LGBT culture, but one of its most prominent events. Instead, what’s been delivered is a boring, stale, derivative free-to-play game that isn’t even free. It’s a game that fails to accurately depict the LGBT community outside of rainbow flags and outdated ideals, and fails harder at being fun.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 fails to recapture the magic of the first four games.

The Superchargers aesthetic fits in perfectly to the continuing Skylanders franchise. Not much has been updated in the way of gameplay, other than the addition of the Superchargers, but if it ain’t broke...

It’s a fun little distraction that doesn’t require too much attention to enjoy.

Undertale is like Earthbound if it were a Hayao Miyazaki movie: strange, interesting, and profoundly unique. The ways in which each little choice can affect the game will constantly keep you guessing, and its multiple paths are each truly moving experiences capped off by a “true ending” that actually had me weeping by its sheer force of power.

There's some interesting stuff for arcade aficionados, but Circa Infinity isn't quite there for anyone else.

Afro Samurai 2 is so bad it actually made me physically disheartened to play it. If you’re a fan of the series, and let’s face it, the only reason you’re playing the sequel or reading this review is because you are a fan, do yourself a favor and just play the first Afro Samurai game. Aside from a solid soundtrack, there is nothing likeable about this game.

Serious basketball fans will no doubt enjoy it, but if you’re not a serious basketball fan, while it might make a decent game for when you have friends over, I think Mario Party would do the exact same thing; And at least no one needs to understand Mario Party to enjoy it.

It’s originality and charm make it stand out from the rest of the XBLA marketplace’s indie titles.

The next episodes of Albino Lullaby need to keep breaking the physical boundaries of this strange environment while forging a more consistent identity.

It’s a difficult thing to put a score to. A normal free experience might be valued against the other things you could be spending your time on, but this isn’t something you’ll interact with very often. Give it a try and see if it resonates with you, but don’t expect to fall in love.

It captures the spirit of Warhammer's lighter side and translates it beautifully onto the screen.

This new iteration of NHL recovers from last year’s sizable stumble by reinstating the excised features and making improvements on them which make them more enjoyable and easier to get into.

The game makes such a point to establish itself as a tangential side story to the franchise that I have trouble recommending it to even the most avid of Persona collectors.

Destiny takes the best parts of Halo and combines them with the worst parts of Borderlands.

FIFA 16 doesn’t introduce a whole lot of interesting new changes, but it’s still an exceptional soccer simulator.

At its best, Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance is charming. At its worst, it’s very tedious. Unfortunately, its lack of flow and terrible voice acting really hurt any momentum the game picks up from the fun and rewarding parts of the game.

Disney Infinity 3.0 definitely managed to improve on last year’s model. With the fluid combat, even more Toy Box Hub options, and gameplay to cater to every play style, there are endless hours of fun here and I could write pages and pages for this review, but no one wants to read a novel.

It’s bizarre, thought-provoking, and challenging enough to keep you invested for hours.

Microsoft and Turn10 have done a wonderful job putting together another Forza game that is near flawless from an artistic and technical viewpoint.

SOMA is one of those once-in-a-generation experiences that so wildly defies both expectation and assumptions that I can say with confidence that it will forever impact how we define video games.

Skyshine’s Bedlam is definitely rough around the edges, and could certainly do with a few balance fixes (and a more rewarding ending), but as a package, I still found it to have a charm that its faults couldn’t quite spoil—if only just.

Gryphon Knight Epic is a challenging and enjoyable—if forgettable—little shoot-‘em-up with plenty of nostalgia to offer the 25 to 35-year-old crowd.

A convoluted story and ugly visuals, each of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD's flaws are only made worse by bringing them to bigger screens.

There’s a lot of potential in this to sit around with three other random people, even though the emote system is a bit limited (no way to directly congratulate players, for example). Still, it’s a quite fun online board game.

Avalanche Studios have managed to create a game that is true to its inspiration, while offering all the hallmarks of a AAA game.

I am happy to announce that Codemasters are not leaving the novice players behind in order to chase the most realistic F1 game to date.
