You can squeeze a little bit of fun out of Kinect Sports Rivals.

This is a rushed job and one of Nintedo's worst in several years. Are these games filled with broken tilt mechanisms? You decide.

At only ten extra dollars when bundled with a new controller, there's enough content and replayability to consistently keep you breaking this one out, especially when friends and family are looking to play.

A darn good game.

It has a pretty rough beginning section, but players who endure will be treated to some great gameplay. Whether or not it's worth trudging through the awkward tutorial or the burdensome first chapter is up to you. Personally, I'm glad I did it.

If you've never tackled a RPG strategy game before this is a good place to start. Not to mention that ER is budget priced. It's a good deal for the right gamer.

Move. Kill. Move. Kill. Repeat for hours upon hours until you pass out.

These games should be kept out of the hands of youth so as not to show them how ignorant we were when we were young.

The online play itself is great. It's unpredictable, challenging and enthralling. It's here that you will practice your voodoo of mind reading and psychological profiling.

The game can be a lot of fun with three or four human players, but playing with the computer-controlled characters gets boring fast.

A surprisingly respectable showing by Activision. With so many publishers putting little effort into titles aimed at the younger gaming audience, it's refreshing to see fans of this license get something worth playing. In the end, though, the lack of variety and stale pacing make this a game that's only really fun in very small doses.

Just another racing game. It has a few unique elements but its single, most coveted feature appears to have some missing links.

It's fun for a time while you experience all its unique aspects but the Well of Fun begins to run dry after the first hour.

It has a pretty rough beginning section, but players who endure will be treated to some great gameplay. Whether or not it's worth trudging through the awkward tutorial or the burdensome first chapter is up to you. Personally, I'm glad I did it.

The bottom line is if you're smart enough to read the title, you're smart enough to know what you're buying. So anime fans play to your heart's content. I know I am!

It's not perfect, but it does offer some solid entertainment value despite some flaws.

Good FPS but not worth full price. Limited replay value.

The game is very short, and with nothing much beyond the game's story mode, most players will be done with this title in only a few short hours.

A fairly uninteresting story along with badly written characters won't encourage you to play this to the end. Still, fans of dungeon crawlers will likely find something here to like.

Though it's still fun to battle opponents without having to fray my cards, dish out game night snacks, or use up gas to go where the in-person action is, I'll likely return to my Magic 2014 stock, and hope next year's entry provides more sustenance.

Sure, Crash: Mind Over Mutant doesn't reinvent the wheel, and there's no way it's vintage-inspired gameplay can stand up to modern titles. But, it still manages to be quite fun, and it's worth a spin if you have ever played (and loved) a past Crash game.

Nearly every potential plus is a minus: the open world is artificial; the supposedly intuitive control scheme is actually counterintuitive; and the event types range from lackluster to merely okay.

It's just disappointing that the rest of the game doesn't live up to the quality of the cutscenes.

It's not terribly long, and very linear. But the satisfying combat and extra content offer some redemption.

To be blunt, the problem with Joan is that it incorporates elements of three genres, action, RTS and RPG which are not very well blended. It's like a stew in which you can taste all of the ingredients individually.

It definitely has its moments. Unfortunately those rare moments are located between episodes of utter repetition and boredom.

There is a lot of trial and error here and you should be prepared to do a lot of dying. The camera angles are fixed and will at times cause you to make suicide leaps.

Redemption may not be the best of the best, but it has the markings of one of the strongest story driven RPGs out there. If you have been a fan from the beginning or one that was sucked in recently, Redemption will deliver on many of your expectations.
