Michael Jackson: The Experience is fun but just knowing how much more could have been done ultimately is disappointing.

Disco Dodgeball Remix is the definitive dodgeball experience. What it lacks in polish and presentation it totally makes up for in sheer fun. The hypnotic electro soundtrack is also something to cherish, and its multiplayer suite is bursting to the brim with potential. This is an underrated gem that needs to be discovered and dusted to see how radiant it really is.

Frustrating as well as fun, and simply for the Super Meat Boy crowd.

A bit thin for a single player game, but multiplayer mode is great for gaming parties and makes it easy for your non-gaming friends to join in on the fun.

UEFA’s card-collecting aspect is a long shot on goal, but for some it will be right on target.

A not bad, but not great, return to one of the longest running shooter series of all time.

Too bad its strategic and RPG elements fizzle out.

A decent WWII game and attractive to those who like a little strategy in their FPS but if you have a choice go with the PC or Xbox version.

Grid 2 is a worthy successor to the original Grid, but it doesn't really do enough to make it any more appealing than other racers out there.

NASCAR 07 is a game built almost exclusively for the hardcore NASCAR racing fan.

More "Monopoly" than "Magic: The Gathering," you may want to rent it first to see if it suits your style.

Sprinkle Islands is worth playing for those looking for a physics puzzler that's a little different from everything else out there. However, make sure that you're willing to be a little patient with it.

Overall, this expansion is enjoyable enough to recommend. You get more mountains to play on in the game and the events themselves are fun additions to the game. I wish more effort was put into making the whole experience more Olympic, though. The Road to the Olympics feels a little too much road and not enough Olympics in that regard.

All complaints and setup times aside, FF XI is one of the stronger MMORPGs out there, and when it comes to console MMORPGs (not PC), it may very well be the best.

Madden NFL 24 does provide a pretty good simulation of NFL football when you’re on the field. The animations and AI are improved over last year, and the games are fun and challenging at the higher difficulty levels. I just wish that everything around the on-field action was overhauled. Ultimate Team needs to be revamped, and should look to Madden NFL Mobile for inspiration. The mini-games need to be reworked, if not totally removed. And, please build an interface that’s fast, easy to navigate, and gets you pumped to play some football.

Even though the game is set in the 1930s, BloodRayne looks more like a young high school goth-boy's fantasy woman, with a very trendy hair cut and a mix of leather and Victoria's Secret undergarments.

Obviously, Naruto fans will love this, but so will side-scroller die-hards and those who love the old 2D, left-to-right with giant, colorful characters business.

AvP is a beautifully rendered game that will no doubt impress the diehard fans of the series and probably convince a few new friends to jump on board.

The mix of Metroidvania style gameplay and bullet hell boss fights is novel and interesting. I did enjoy the boss fights, but the stretches in between weren't as much fun.

Strategy fans will be more tolerant of the difficulty and may enjoy the chance to return to the roots of RTS gameplay without putting up with 1990s graphics.

0-D Beat Drop is more of a variant on games that you've probably played before than a unique experience

Lost Planet is more about style than it is about substance.

If you look at the overall value of this package, it doesn't take long to see that Fatshark has stepped up with a winner. The developers set out to appeal to an array of genres and I think they'll eventually get a decent following because of it.

Enjoyable on the Wii and the swing control goes a long way towards making you feel as if you’re actually swinging a club. The controls aren’t perfect yet, but they feel a lot more realistic than pushing a stick up and down with your thumb.

An enjoyable enough Avengers game, but it needs to be more Tony Stark and less Bruce Banner.

Like its pen and paper namesake, Dungeons & Dragons Online is best enjoyed with a group of good friends.

However, if you're looking for some casual golf play and like games with plenty of items to unlock, Open Tee 2 will provide you with plenty of entertainment.

The addition of Marvel superheroes isn't quite enough to make Disney Infinity feel super yet.

While I did have some fun with Scarlet Nexus, I am left with the feeling that it could have been more. If there was more life to the city, and any life at all to the frequently drab mission locations, all of the traversal in the game would have felt a lot less like traversal and the world would have felt more immersive and fleshed-out. The combat has its unique aspects, but there is a repetition to it that is exposed by the volume of battles that you will fight against the same enemy types. While it is a plus that the game essentially gives you two campaigns, you may find yourself having had enough after making it through one.

Rise of Nightmares is a fun Kinect game for those looking for some blood.

Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis is a fun and interesting game, but unfortunately fails in several important categories. Although it’s technically sound, it loses serious points because of the same old story about the end of the world, but especially because the puzzles that defy the most elementary logic.

If you’re a fan of military sims, then T72 is definitely worth a look. Just don’t expect to be immersed in the experience. However, if you’re expecting a Battlefield-style experience, T72 is definitely not for you.

World to the West wasn't quite what it could have been, but it's still a compelling adventure that will appeal to more folks than you might think.

Mortal Shell is more than a husk of tired Souls-like tropes - it tries to do something different and does so with ardor for its source material.

Final Fantasy fans will love Final Fantasy XI, but a difficult sign-up process, poor online support, and lack of any kind of in-game tutorial or training may try the patience of those new to the series of games.

The designers did a good job of capturing Duke's persona, and he makes his way through the game with his signature one-liners. However, the biggest question is the game's staying power.

But in the end it's just another Dynasty Warriors game at heart with a Gundanium exterior.

The game has a certain charm to it, with its persistent robot, minimalist graphics, and odd collection of robots and contraptions.

TimeShift has its moments, but you'll wish that you could rewind time and re-release the game with more imaginative level design and smarter AI.

A throwback to SNES platformers for your Xbox 360.

One of, if not the only, Indy style racer out there. So if you’re a big Indy fan then this is your game.

On Ippo's road to glory he stumbles upon a few pebbles, but overall his path to the top is a good one!

It isn't the prettiest, longest or most challenging game out there, but if you thirst for an era of puzzles, slower pacing and an almost tangible sense of style, you'll probably like these zombies as much as I did.

All things considered, if you enjoy the sport or even if you just enjoy challenging yourself with new games that are Move compatible, I'd say this one is worth picking up.

MVP 07 NCAA Baseball steps up to the plate and hits a double – not as exciting as a homer but a solid hit nonetheless.

Veterans of the genre will probably find it limited and simplistic.

The highlight of the game is definitely its Treble mode, and UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 is worth a look if you don’t have a soccer game in your PSP collection.

Overall, Dice Legacy is enjoyable as long as you enjoy a challenge. It has an unusual mix of gameplay that sets it apart from other games of this type. While the dice and some of your decisions add a random element to the game, it feels like Dice Legacy does have an idea of how it wants you to play the game. You don’t necessarily have the freedom to try a variety of strategies, if you want to succeed, that is. Perhaps that’s what makes it more of a survival game and less of a strategy game.

Bomber Crew isn't for everyone, as I noted it's not for the easily frustrated, but if you're willing to deal with its quirks, interface issues, and a few questionable design choices, there's a unique and enjoyable rogue-like bomber game at Bomber Crew's core. The game seems to be suited best for its PC origins, so if you have a Steam account consider getting the game there before going for the Switch version.

On the positive side, the game features a strong racing engine, good graphics, and competent AI racers, and the multiplayer races are exciting. On the negative, the presentation is pretty basic, the event selection is limited, severely so for a while into the game, and the DLC available at the time of this writing is a bit on the sparse side. With more content it would be a stellar game, but for now it's more for fans of the sport than anyone else.

Crisis Core has a pretty good story that is aimed squarely at the people who still think FF7 was the best game they ever played.

Quiz TV is not quite ready for a prime time slot, but it wouldn't have any trouble being picked up in syndication for an afternoon slot.

The AI in the game is competent but not exceptional. Your enemies will often neglect to take cover even though there is some close by and will sometimes charge right into your gunfire.

For players who appreciate atmosphere, exploration, and methodical pacing over constant action, Routine offers something distinct. It’s not a game that rushes you. It asks you to slow down, pay attention, and absorb its world.

Magna Cum Laude does get a slight recommendation based on its grade school level humor, but just prepare yourself for a lot of load screens and repetitive mini-games.

With some enjoyable mini games that give you the feel of each classic Sega franchise, Sega Superstars Tennis is a good pickup for old school Sega fans but there is only a very basic tennis game contained therein.

If you’re a fan of splatterfest games where the blood and guts go flying all over the place when you kill enemies, this is a game for you. The overall mayhem is actually one of the best parts of the game. The game is simple and easy to play. The main flaws that I find with the game is its lack of story and the slowdown. The lack of story can be overlooked if you’re just in it for the gameplay though. If you like old school shooters, this is definitely one to check out.

Anyone who enjoyed those games might get a kick out of it and it is a good choice for those new to action gaming.

This is really not my type of game but I enjoyed messing around with it and found a lot to enjoy while playing it, but I’ve been curious about this game for a while now. I prefer more of a solo play type of game without the use of a mic. Playing solo on Bounty Hunt is fun but very challenging. I didn’t like the Soul Survivor mode at all. I mainly respect the overall look and feel of the game more than anything. The Bounty Hunter mode has a lot of distraction from the core team deathmatch mode that made it far more enjoyable than the other mode. Overall, Hunt Showdown 1896 was a lot fun.

The game is still very fun to play and worth the 800 points on the marketplace if you're a fan of Dead Rising, but it doesn't offer as good of an experience as Case Zero or Dead Rising 2 did.

The core Call of Duty gameplay is there, but Modern Warfare II has some issues and fails to be anything more than an average game in the series.

If there had been a better variety of enemies and missions and if the story really fleshed out and brought to life a Goldfinger/No power struggle, we could have had the makings of a classic.

The Switch 2 release of WWE 2K25 is a very solid release! Besides all the expected flaws, the only true flaw that I find is the lack of an image manager. If you can deal with the lack of creativity that the game leaves out, this release is nearly just as good as the other current gen consoles. It’s really amazing how well the game runs on Switch 2. You can’t go wrong with the Switch 2 release if you just want to have some fun with its many modes.

Crazy Machines is not something that you will enjoy because of intense graphics or an amazing storyline. However, it may be something you enjoy because it’s simple, fun, and it is an absolutely perfect time-waster.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD is a remix of new and old and looks great with its new HD graphics, but much of the game still remains the same.

Classic side-scrolling shooting best enjoyed with friends.

The game is a lot of fun and its perfect for a system that can be used in handheld mode. This is the type of game that you'll definitely want to take on trips for some fast pick up and play type of action. Zombie Driver gets repetitive at times, but it's always fun to come back to. It's definitely a worthy pickup for shooter fans and fans of vehicular combat. I'd also recommend this to Dead Rising fans since it provides a similar type of zombie killing addiction that Dead Rising offers - only without the melee weapons and dress-up of course.

Zeno Clash offers some very otherworldly character designs along with a good overall story and a fun first person fighting system, but, even with the extra challenge modes there is really not much to do once the game is completed

While not as solid as Until Dawn, Man of Medan shows that Supermassive Games is still comfortable with the horror genre.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is somewhat of a mixed bag, but overall it’s still a great beat’em up. I enjoyed the game much more once I finished the story mode and went into the Arcade Mode. I feel this game mainly excels with its tag team gameplay and overall roster. Story mode just has a sort of dull feel to it with little challenge, but Arcade Mode makes the stage progression feel more meaningful. Cosmic Invasion is not as good as Shredder’s Revenge, but I do feel it just enough unique mechanics to stand out on its own. The hardcore Marvel fan will be pleased, but those looking for something along the lines of Shredder’s Revenge might find the game to be somewhat lacking in areas. I do feel that this would be in the upper bracket of Marvel beat’em ups, but ff this game could get some impressive DLC (more stages and characters), it could very well be a legendary Marvel beat’em up.

If you’re in the mood for a game that delivers the kind of action you see in the Aliens movie, I think you’ll enjoy this game. It’s not as good as Alien Isolation, but it’s definitely had a lot of love put into it. The game reminds me a lot of the World War Z game, which I was a big fan of, only it’s in the Alien universe. The game is not perfect, but I had a lot of fun with it and will continue to for quite a while.

If you’re a fan of old-school survival horror games, definitely give this game a try. I greatly enjoyed it and could look past the flaws, but the flaws are too bad to ignore (in some instances) when reviewing the game. Alone in the Dark is a series that has been MUCH in need of a reboot and reimagining and this latest Alone in the Dark does that quite well. This game may have its problems, but it’s certainly nice to see that Alone in the Dark is actually relevant once again.

The key to enjoying RO is embracing the realism. Still, this does not negate the fact that the intensity of the gameplay is reduced, and the general pace of the game is slowed.

The racing in Midnight Club 3 provides for some fast and furious fun. However, if the load times were as fast as the racing, the game would be a lot more enjoyable.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure once again makes a very stylish fighter but it still doesn't match up well against the competition of fighters out there.

Darwin’s Paradox is a solid platformer that gambles on the movement of a new mascot, risk that pays out as the Octopus is an easily lovable one. Worth having an eye for a sequel as potentially all ingredients for a very good IP legacy are there.

If you don't already have UMvC3 then I'd highly recommend this release since it's still a fantastic fighter. Even with the unbalanced characters, it's still loads of fun to mess around with. The single player and local play works great but if you plan on going online, you need to go to training and practice the game with input lag (it's actually an option to practice with a simulated lag) since you can't play without input lag online with its current netcode.

The Sinking City is an overall good game if you enjoy investigation games with a bit of horror elements in them. This is really not a game that I would recommend to a horror fans since it focuses far more on investigation and the overall story is slow from the start. Once you get deeper into the game, the horror atmosphere gets better, but it never does stray too far from solving cases in order to gain evidence that takes you to your next lead. Basically, it's not up to a Call of Cthulhu type of horror atmosphere, but it does have its moments where it gets a bit freaky in between all the investigation moments.

Uno / Skip-Bo makes for some nice gaming on the go with these two family favorites.

If you love all things hidden object the novel setting will probably make the game enjoyable enough for you, but if you enjoy a good puzzle you should probably look a challenge elsewhere.

AntiGrav is the first game that actually makes you feel some of the energy it takes to do some extreme boarding.

Tape 1 is mostly build-up, and I’m left wondering how significant its more mundane events will be when the story concludes in Tape 2.

While the Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse has its fault, it’s still rather enjoyable. Any game that keeps me involved until the end deserves its credit nowadays since games don’t often hold me over that long anymore. The game gets frustrating and sometimes the autosaves can screw you, but it’s worth a try for those that are curious. If you love horror comedies, definitely give this game a try since it will be right up your alley. Zombie fans should give this a shot as well since its easily one of the most creative zombie games that I have played.

Overall Monster Energy Supercross 6 is better than Supercross 5, but not by much. The game is worth a pickup for serious fans, but if you already own Supercross 5 and are happy with it, it might not be worth it for you. I do enjoy Supercross 6’s smoother controls and upgraded Supercross Park, but other than that, it’s nearly the same as the last game. How much you’re going to like this game really depends on how big of a fan you are.

Like both jazz and punk, it won't be appreciated by everyone.

The game's good points are just way too good to let the numerous and glaring errors drag things down to the failing grades. Nier is both a gem and a turd, and those who feel the nagging urge to try it out are urged to do so.

If you're a sudoku fan or interested in what the fuss is all about, Dr. Sudoku gives you a lot of puzzles for your money.

The game has a good bit of replay value to make up for its short campaign length. Players that just want to play through this game for the story might want to consider a rental. For a Metal Gear fan, this game's overall universe will be perfect for you.

Overall Rainbow Six Extraction is a very welcome change for the Rainbow Six series. If you’re a fan of PvE games (such as World War Z and Aliens: Fireteam Elite, definitely give this game a try. I feel that many Rainbow Six regulars will not appreciate Extraction as much as I do, which is understandable. It’s a big change of direction for the series, but one that I definitely enjoy.

Patience is indeed rewarded, but in a world where people expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter I am not sure Dragon's Dogma does enough that's enticing in order to keep people wanting more.

Transformers: Decepticons is a very entertaining mid-summer treat for DS fans everywhere, especially for those who tire of always having to save the day.

Overall, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is about as deep as a King of Fighters game.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World The Game - Complete Edition has just about everything going for it that beat’em up action fans like to see. Just watching someone play the game makes it look incredibly fun, but once you play it yourself and notice the sluggish controls and random bad hit detection (among other problems), it dampens the experience. The game still holds up quite well as a ten-year-old beat’em up action game however. If you’re hungry for a new beat’em up and have already played Streets of Rage 4 and Castle Crashers then Scott Pilgrim is worth a shot since it is definitely a unique game despite its problems.

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon is an overall fun single or multiplayer experience for anyone that wants to rejoin the adventures of the legendary purple dragon.

Savage Moon is the creepy-crawly version of Pixel Junk Monsters.

I do not think that Ryse was an instant classic and must be in your collection, but I do highly recommend it by borrowing from a friend or grabbing on sale.

I do recommend other more powerful versions over the Switch version, but the Switch version is not bad at all if that if your only option or you just enjoy having your games on Switch. If you like Left 4 Dead or Back 4 Blood, this game is worth a try. I honestly like this game quite a bit and plan to return to it from time to time.

An overall good action game, but the “RPG” feel is weak with this one.
