    Afro Samurai
    It brings some interesting graphical style, some cool hip-hop beats, and some top-notch voice work by Sam Jackson to the party, but it’s too short, too repetitive, and too flawed design-wise to be anything but a mediocre game.

    Battlefield 2042
    I can say that the decision to switch classes for specialists has met with a metric crapton of criticism on the interwebs, and in that I’m in agreement with the masses – thus far, about 20 hours in, all the specialists play the same to me, though I think most people will gravitate towards either the wingsuit or the grappling hook as being the most fun to play with. I suspect more content is coming – at least more maps, but hopefully more modes, and maybe some AI opponents for single player opportunities – in which case this game may grow into something good (but you’ll have to buy the year one pass to get it). But as it stands, at the price it stands at, I can’t recommend it.

    NARC
    The key phrase with NARC would seem to be "wasted potential."

    Spyro: Shadow Legacy
    What do you get when you have a story that's pretty by-the-book, lackluster gameplay, and a gimmick that's really just a smokescreen? I'll give you three guesses, and if the first one isn't "Spyro: Shadow Legacy" you're dead wrong.

    Sword Coast Legends
    In some sense, though Sword Coast Legends is no Baldur’s Gate or NWN or Icewind Dale, I appreciate what they’ve tried to do here, even if the outcome could use some help. To their credit, they say in interviews they’re going to stick with it and try and fix issues as they hear about them.

    Blacklight: Tango Down
    In the end, Blacklight: Tango Down is a good game with some lofty goals. For sheer amount of content it gets gold stars, and ideas like the Digi Grenade, which explodes into a brilliant array of blinding pixels, are admirable ones. Unfortunately, the game also likes to reward shady practices like spawn camping, and the health bar is pretty much useless.

    Conflict: Desert Storm
    Though the game does have its high points, a fair collection of flaws and technical shortcomings hold the game back from being anything but a second rate game for only diehards of the genre.

    Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta
    The bottom line here is that Mothership Zeta is about as much of a miss as Bethesda has ever been responsible for. A few hours of linear romp through boring corridors fighting boring enemies is frankly a shocking disappointment from such a successful development group.

    Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis
    The controls are functional, but they don’t nearly take full advantage of the Wii’s motion sensing technology, and without online multiplayer the shortcomings of the single player game are that much more evident.

    Defenders of Ardania
    So I'm (perhaps disappointed isn't the word because I come into tower defense games expecting so little) confused as to how the designers saw these elements coming together and didn't comprehend the problems they would cause in actual game play. I also have to confess a long-held desire to see a game that is like tower defense only reversed, where you get to be the invader. DoA has that, and I'm left contemplating that old axiom about getting what you wish for.

    Far Cry Primal
    Far Cry has gone the way of Assassin’s Creed, another source of income that’s been left to stagnate so everything that worked can be borrowed by the inevitable sequel.

    The Council
    I didn’t enjoy The Council particularly much. It has some good stuff to it — the premise is great, and it’s fun sparring with (sometimes fictional) historical characters — but for me there were too many design issues, there was too much potion hunting, and the twist at the midway point just ruined everything.

    Crackdown 3
    Crackdown 3 is technically the best entry in the series to date – but doesn’t feel like a 2019 reincarnation of the franchise. It feels like a soft reboot of the 2007 game with 2009-era gameplay and graphics that are impressive due to their lack of slowdown and crisp appearance, but little else.

    Disney's PK: Out of the Shadows
    It’s not that bad at all actually, tastes like chicken. It isn’t that great, mind you, but it is a definite step up from the last Disney game to feature Donald Duck as the central character.

    Samurai Shodown Sen
    While Samurai Shodown Sen delivers a fun experience at times, it doesn’t deliver a very polished one. The broken jumping mechanics and unbalanced gameplay make for a frustrating experience overall.

    Magna Carta: Tears of Blood
    If Magna Carta had a less frustrating combat system, it'd be a perfectly good, if slightly self-parodying, RPG.

    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle
    Overall, I find JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure very hard to recommend for most people. If you’re buying it because you loved the Capcom classic and don’t really like the license, then avoid this game.

    Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
    The result is a game that I think will appeal to little more than the Borderlands diehards.

    Bejeweled Blitz Live
    Don't get me wrong, I love Bejeweled Blitz, but it's hard for me to recommend spending $10 on the Xbox Live Arcade version when there's a superior, free version available on Facebook.

    King Arthur II: The Role-Playing Wargame
    It's sad that I've come away from King Arthur 2 with such a negative impression. Almost universally, I crave more and better storytelling in my games. Here we have a game that's oozing with story, but that's about it. I wish the writing was enough to carry it into positive territory, but truth be told, the gameplay bored me to tears and I couldn't wait to put it down after even a half-hour session. Maybe King Arthur 3, if it's made, will find the right balance.

    World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions
    It’s great that the developers were able to secure the all-star poker talent they did, but for the most part they squander the opportunity.

    Dig Dug
    Surprisingly absent from this version of Dig Dug is the alternating two-player mode found in the original arcade version.

    Hard Reset
    Hard Reset puts you on the streets of a splashy cyberpunk city, atmospherically lying somewhere between the Matrix and Blade Runner, a world of crumbling glass skyscrapers, and unleashes the enemy hoards.

    Viking: Battle for Asgard
    For a game that promised so much, Viking really doesn't do much in the way of delivering.

    J-Stars Victory Vs+
    Unfortunately, J-Stars Victory VS+ isn’t quite good enough to warrant a buy for most people. If you are a big fan of the anime/manga franchises contained within it, check it out.

    NIER
    In the time spent playing this, I really wanted to enjoy NIER as an intricate game but it suffers largely from an identity crisis

    Magna Carta 2
    MagnaCarta 2 is a game with potential that is regrettably marred by its cliché storyline and characters.

    Fable III
    In Fable III you can purchase houses, buy businesses, get married, and have kids. Like B&W you have a pet, a dog in this case, but he's more useful and less idiosyncratic, and you can train him to help you in combat and he sniffs out treasure for you. By and large good stuff. Those things work. And in general dealing with the leaders of the various towns to get them to ally with you is good RPG fodder (and deciding later whether or not to keep the promises you make is an interesting wrinkle). But the dreary nature of performing menial tasks repeatedly with individual people to scrape experience? Not so much. In fact as an activity it likely ranks down there with gold farming. And while it was ludicrous as a god to be expected to find every lost child, as a prince trying to stabilize an entire kingdom it's only slightly less asinine. And in Fable III it's all been linked together, inextricably.
