By declaring its intentions early, Corporate Lockdown projects a more comfortable and measured presentation of Alien: Isolation's objectives. This translates to a more clinical feel detached of the narrative context that made Isolation so special, but in its place is a more practical application of its mechanics. As it turns out, Isolation is easier to parse without the weight of a twenty hour run time.

Ancient Labyrinth isn't perfect, but I consider it must play material for anyone who enjoyed Lords of the Fallen.

Mystery of the Mooil Rig explored how well Sunset Overdrive could operate under constraints. Dawn of the Rise of the Fallen Machines proves the inverse is true as well.

Quality over quantity; Emergence is not a big release, but the value here for those that played the original game is spot-on.

The Bozak Horde is Dying Light's dalliance into the efficiency of combat and movement. The peculiar tightness at which it operates may be a boon to mechanic-obsessives and speed runners, but it simultaneously precludes other venues of appreciation.

If you're in the market for a casual city builder, 1849 has a lot going for it, but be aware of its limitations, too. For their first effort though, SomaSim did a fine job.

In the end, NHL Supercard is such a quick hitter with fun that it’s tough to hate it, even with the hockey moniker. Its fast gameplay makes for an addictive time. The added value of power-ups and enhancements, plus the motivation to acquire better cards, keeps the intrigue flowing long after interest might/should have run out.

Spelunker World relies a lot on gaming nostalgia to pull it through, while trying to mask the world of microtransactions. It works to an extent, but not completely. There is still too much simple, not enough modern and far too much room for frustration from failure. It’s not a horrible game by any means, but it is limited in its capacity for fun in long stints.

Slice It! has a lot of the check boxes for a good eShop title covered, but I found it too challenging and simultaneously not fun enough to want to play for more than a few minutes at a time. Your mileage may vary though, especially if you're into puzzlers and geometry.

Dreadhalls is worth checking out. It's a quick and clear example of how VR can take what would be a pretty uninteresting concept and make it much more immersive and effective. [Tested with Rift]

Darknet is one of the early VR games that should be on anyone's short-list of great titles. [Tested with Rift]

It's got an impressive amount of quality content, online multiplayer, and it's a treat to play because it runs great, looks really good, and is super comfortable. If you have any interest in a RTS or MOBA on your shiny new OR, AirMech Command deserves your attention. [Tested with Rift]

Winning Putt is an interesting title that isn't perfect, as some gameplay elements need some re-thinking, but it's good fun as whole. Certainly an interesting spin on a typical golf game experience.

In 2006, Dead Rising's clever assembly of ideas rampaged against comfort and cohesion. Time has been kind to Dead Rising's sharp edge of nonconformity, though some of its quirks feel frustrating after two (and a half) sequels provided a better defense of its thesis.

What was once an assembly of divergent systems is now a finely tuned machine, one that enables a man to combine a bull skull with motor oil and use it to liquidate scores of zombies. Dead Rising 2 brought focus and direction to an experience that used to be defined by chaos and disorder. Pandemonium isn't completely wiped out, but this time it works with, rather than against, the player's objectives.

In 2011, a faintly redressed model of Dead Rising 2 and a replacement hero in Frank West may have seemed crass. Now, with both Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record released simultaneously and priced identically, it's a simple matter of choice. Do you want Dead Rising 2 as it was conceived, or a genetically modified clone that's less inspired but, technically, a lot more fun?

The complex nature of videogame creation usually precludes exclusive compositions. When allowed, however, you're likely to find a piece of the designer's soul buried in the experience. Memoir En Code: Reissue embodies this sentiment with its delicate recreation of tense and peaceful moments of its author's life. It's funny, painful, relatable and, unfortunately, a little heartbreaking.

VR Golf Online is a tough game that offers up some frustration, though the learning curve isn’t that bad, especially if you haven’t played the game of golf before. The game is built to help you through and does offer up a tiny bit of forgiveness to some elements that would be killer on the real course. It does a nice balanced job of making the experience fun, even when you’re losing, while putting you through the golfing ropes that real golfers would experience.

LIT is a sound puzzle game that features a charming and light-hearted horror environment. The puzzles never become dull and are difficult enough to where the players won’t feel that their intelligence is being insulted. LIT is a bit brief but players going back to beat their game’s goal times does offer plenty of replayability. Players should have a grand time with LIT as it provides plenty of simple entertainment.

Overall, at $20, Drop Dead offers a lot of zombie-blasting action with a few notable, but not necessarily deal-breaking flaws. For fans of the old light-gun games, this is definitely worth checking out.

Two out of the three games are fun to play and can help you pass a few minutes of your time. It's not built for longevity but even so, it will most likely become a forgotten game of your collection once you've completed the games a few times.

Played on the Vita or the PS4, Damascus Gear offers simple, enjoyable mech combat with a good story and lots of customization at a great price.

All in all, Bloody Zombies was a very good game at its price point. The game has everything you look for in a beat-‘em-up. You open the game and can begin fighting zombies quickly. The game provides a fun, casual gaming experience for someone who wants to play for an hour, but offers enough features to keep you invested in the game if you’re looking for a more in-depth experience. I would recommend this game to all zombie slayers and anyone who likes a fun, simple, arcade-style fighting game.

Jettomero: Hero of the Universe­ offsets despair with panicky optimism and traps the ensuing fallout inside of a dizzy planet-obliterating robot. It's an alien venue for exploring the range and control of depression, but also one that expresses comfort and warmth along its journey. Resolution, through either perception or reality, casts Jettomero as a sympathetic hero negotiating inescapable desolation.

Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition brings a nice set of content to a two-year old experience, which includes an extended map, a new/awesome action in Armiger Unleashed, new vehicles to work with and a more open world feel to it all.

Overall, the anime-inspired graphics, fantasy storyline, polished visuals, and various features could allow Chain Strike to become a go-to escape for gamers on the go. However, the expensive micro-transactions, long tutorial, and grindy nature of the game might put off some gamers as well.

Iron Throne is more positive than negative. The story is solid, the gameplay options are extensive, especially for battling other players, and getting drawn into the overall body of gameplay can be a fun experience. Iron Throne, while it can be intimidating, is a solid MMORPG for casual gamers that can handle it. It’s certainly more complicated and deeper than expected.

Goosebumps HorrorTown is a good game for your phone. It’s not a game you need to be playing for hours at a time but a few minutes will provide you with plenty of entertainment. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the Goosebumps series. The content definitely appeals more to the younger generations but older generations will easily find the entertainment value in it. Goosebumps HorrorTown is now available for iOS and Android.
