The game deserves a look if you can look past the framerate issues.

If you’re looking for some quick hack and slash dungeon crawling on the go, it certainly will satisfy your need. RPG fans will more than likely find it disappointing, though, as the RPG side of the game is minimalist and lacking in depth.

That said, both Dissidia and Dissidia 02 are meh fighting games with truly amazing casts of characters. The zippier fighting will seem ok at first, but once cheap, tougher enemies lead to insane button mashing you'll probably get bored. I did.

Windbound’s direction blows in the wind. It wants to be a relaxing seafaring simulator, an unforgiving survival struggle, and a haunting tribal tale all at once. As such, you will have a polarizing experience depending on what you look for - and this is a mixed bag. But, even if you want to give up after going in circles or dying of hunger, the colors and stunning vistas you shall witness will surely sweep you away.

God Mode is great mindless entertainment, until you start paying attention and are left wanting more...

So I was interested to find out if my enjoyment for football overcame my disinterest in strategic games. Well in my case the micromanagement aspect was just too much for me to overcome.

A decent little game with an interesting and unique storyline, as long as you don’t mind the slow pace and excessive amount of required reading.

Tries to bring realism to a game that really should have more of a fun arcadey-fun feel to it. So if you’re into tennis in a big way and can overlook some of the funkiness of this game you may have found your match.

Once you master the controls you’ll enjoy the game for a while, but it will eventually you’ll find it hard to keep your interest in the game due in large part to the randomness of the tricks and the impossibly difficult to pull-off uber-tricks.

Tactical Strike falls just short of doing the tactical thing right, the same way the original SOCOM games fell just short of doing the online shooter thing right.

Much like with Assassin's Creed, people will herald inFamous as great about 5 minutes before they realize that the game gets just plain boring after you've done it all once or twice.

Too short, linear, and easy to recommend on its own merits, Batman Begins is best enjoyed as a rental to be played soon after seeing the movie while you’re still on a Batman high.

SingStar Rocks can be fun for the casual karaoke fan, but the limited and unfocused track list and the game’s inability to remove the songs’ original vocal tracks limit its long-term play value.

At least another year away from a run at the championship.

Spider-Man 3 certainly has its enjoyable moments, but camera issues and repetitive combat keep it from reaching its full potential.

With its flashy combat system, Web of Shadows is a notable addition to the other sandbox style Spider-man games but the overall mission structure and lack of polish keeps it from standing out as well as it could.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a decent game to try out for fans of the movies and survival horror fans. If you can look past some of its problems, the game is quite well made and unique. Fans of Alien Isolation will most likely find something to enjoy with this game. It’s not perfect, but there are definitely moments of greatness here and there.

There’s no space to explore, multiplayer option, ship customization, mission ratings … and not much to motivate you to go back and replay completed missions. So here we get to the question you have to ask yourself – do 21 missions of straightforward space shooting make the game worth the money to you?

Xbox Live gamers should seriously consider hooking into XSN with NFL Fever 2004. For everyone else, the game will be more appealing to the casual football gamer than the hardcore veteran crowd.

As much as I loved every part of Profane, the whole "time" thing really killed the entire experience. The bosses are truly memorable encounters, the graphics, story, music and gameplay are all excellent; but the "time" thing... it feels like watching anything past season 12 of The Simpsons. The spirit is there, and it is amusing, but something just doesn't work. In the case of The Simpsons, we don't really know what happened; in Profane's case, we know it was being a slave to the clock that took a great thing and killed it, in this reviewer's eyes at least. There is no doubt that Profane is a good, if not great game, and for a certain subset of audiences, it will be a speed run, ultra-difficult sensation. This reviewer, however, is on to less frustrating experiences.

It's an interesting novelty of a game that is best enjoyed occasionally at parties rather than as a Guitar Hero alternative.

Fans of the dungeon crawling genre will have a blast getting lost in the world of the Temple of Elemental Evil. Those virgin to this type of game may be overwhelmed by the wealth of options and complexity of combat.

Sonic Adventure is still a great game like it was back in the late 90's when it was on Dreamcast, but nothing has changed at all with this Xbox LIVE port - all the flaws still remain.

The game does nail the mechanics of a shooter and it's certainly beautiful to look at, but everything else hasn't quite gelled into a cohesive whole. Since Destiny is obviously designed to be an evolving game played for the long haul, though, it will certainly be interesting to see how it progresses and grows over time.

It won’t make history in the annals of strategy gaming, but Making History is a decent enough diversion for those with an interest in World War II strategy on a global scale.

Casual fans may want or wait for another, more substantial pack to come down the pike, but for me, this was just the thing to brighten a dreary afternoon.

SNK Arcade Classics digs up some old memories of good times and a few bad times with its old SNK arcade titles but the end result is an overall good selection of games for the SNK fans out there.

It's pretty safe to say that your enjoyment of Uno Free Fall will depend more on how much you like Tetris than how much you like Uno. If you're a DS owner, opt for the DS version of the game as it provides several games packed onto a single cart.

You can certainly have your fun with Immortals of Aveum – its world is unique and there simply aren’t enough magic shooters of this caliber out there. The bugs are annoying, and have hopefully been patched by the time you’re reading this, but if not, you’ll have to have a little patience with the game. It’s not a must-play shooter – better battles as the game progresses instead of a “more is better” philosophy towards enemies and more freedom to experiment with different spell combos rather than just matching colors would help, as well as more interesting and challenging puzzles.

A decent hockey game, but it falls short of being the great one.

Overall, this collection is recommended more for those who missed these games the first time around. Keep in mind, though, that you'll be playing the games more for the story than the gameplay. It's hard to put up with some of the frustrations of the controls and the limitations of the game worlds when things have come so far in the series since these games were first released. If you've played them all before, there's not a compelling reason to return unless you're an Assassin's Creed completist or the series is among your absolute favorites.

A beautifully difficult heavy metal nod to 80s platforming.

Like watching a tie game – fun at times but ultimately unsatisfying

ArmA is probably “too real”, and too frustrating, for most FPS gamers.

Like it's predecessor SingStar '80s, SingStar '90's track list is just too wide-ranging to keep you from burning out on the small handful of songs that you'll enjoy singing.

An average game in an otherwise stellar series.

If you're looking for a family or party trivia game, Scene It? Movie Night will serve that purpose pretty well. And if a steady stream of content in the form of new question packs is made available you'll probably get some good mileage out of the game. For single players, though, you're either on your own trying to beat your previous score or you're out of luck because of the lack of online support.

The lack of emotional weight makes Omega just another pointless series of hallways chockful of mildly challenging cannon fodder.

While the game can be fun in short stretches and Bunnylord is deserving of further video game appearances, overall the game delivers more frustration than frills.

You'll need to find creative ways to ways to solve the game's puzzles while it finds creative ways to frustrate you.

Challenging enemy AI and a bag of cyber tricks aren't enough to make up for weak atmosphere and story.

If you live in a place where it is impossible to get either the EA or Sega football games, then you might want to check out GameBreaker. Then again, I would make a road trip instead.

While it's an enjoyable enough experience this game just cannot shake the 'been there, done that' vibe it gives off.

Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge is enjoyable enough but doesn't justify its higher price.

Close to the Sun is decent, but I can't help but feel that the game could been so much more. The overall atmosphere and especially the sound is fantastic! If you're looking for a game with a decent engaging story, you might like this one, but don't play it expecting the next Outlast or Bioshock.

While it is a solid puzzle game it doesn't really do anything to excel or stand out in a cluttered genre.

The game has a colorful animated look to it and the presentation is nice, so if you think that this sort of game may appeal to you, you'll enjoy your initial time with it.

A competent, workmanlike game that never surprises you. If you're looking for a new computer-based card game, this could be it, especially if you don't want to cough up the money for something like Eye of Judgment.

It won't make anyone want to quit World of Warcraft, but it can be enjoyable enough if you'd like to try out a pirate's life for free.

The Medium is a decent psychological horror from the start, but it’s rather hollow when it comes to gameplay.

A solid tactical simulation of armored warfare 1975-1985 whose real value is in the multiplayer mode.

A few tweaks short of the mark.

Defender can be a fun game ... while it lasts.

The sequel to Obscure comes at us with some plausible scary environments and atmosphere but it is really not that much better than the first game.

If you're in the search for a good psychological story then Narcosis might be a good pickup for you, but the gameplay in between is rather boring.

B movie humor can't entirely save B level gameplay.

On the one hand, you essentially get three times as many puzzles as the game has levels. On the other, you’ll be spending a chunk of time with each level, which really breaks-up the narrative flow of the story. I think it might have been better to limit the puzzles to single goals, perhaps with some optional bonuses, and keep the game flowing. As things are, though, you’ll need to ask yourself if you’ll enjoy spending the extra time with each level. If you’re intrigued by the idea of cracking each puzzle three times with different goals, you’ll probably enjoy Howl. However, if the thought of spending so much time with each level sounds like a grind to you, or you’d prefer to have the freedom to experiment with different tactics, you’ll probably find the game to be frustrating. As such I can’t recommend the game to everyone, just those in the former group.

Sword Art Online finally comes to consoles and it brings along everything that was on the portable versions of the game and plenty of extras.

You can use infinite runners as a judge of whether or not you'll like the game, as Combo Quest is pretty similar to them on a basic level - time your screen taps to stay alive as along as possible and start all over again when you die.

Overall PIU is best enjoyed by DDR fans looking for a little challenge. The game is too brutal on beginners to win many converts as only the patient and diligent will stick with it long enough to get good at it.

Unfortunately the best Darksiders collection can still be found on the last generation of consoles.

Moons of Madness is an overall decent cosmic horror for hardcore survival horror fans.

Vanquish wasn't what I envisioned when seeing the trailers and reading the hype surrounding it. I think there is a fan base for these types of games and even for its creator Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil and director of The Evil Within. This game is far from those two games. It reminds me of going to the movies or the bowling alley and playing an over-the-top, action-based arcade game until I ran out of quarters 15 minutes later. The arcades were there to fill a void for a few minutes of time, not to entertain for several hours. Granted the style of game fits the bill for the amount of time I have to play these games but if you are looking to sink your teeth into a game to get lost in for several hours, maybe even days, this may not be for you.

Heart of the Forest is a decent visual novel but not long enough to make much of an impact for the series.

Like Bunnylord himself, fun at first and then a bit of a grind.

There probably won't be any reviews claiming the game is awful or unplayable, but Mercenaries 2 has the distinct disadvantage of being too little too late on next-gen systems with far better choices for your gaming dollar.

The best pigeon dating sim ever made.

Jack Holmes: Master of Puppets is an overall decent survival horror. The enemies in the game do get annoying, but you eventually get used to it. The game can actually be quite tough at times. There were points where I got a bit concerned about ammo, which is quite rare with survival horrors nowadays. If you enjoy RE7 and its overall horror atmosphere, be sure to give this game a try. I feel you’ll enjoy the game the most. The game is also comparable to Fobia: St Dinfna Hotel, which also played like RE7 overall, so if you like either of these games, Jack Holmes is worth a shot.

While Summon Night 5 might be a novelty by being playable on a deader than dead system, it only gets a halfhearted recommendation from me.

They took the bad out of Ninja Gaiden 3 and improved the game to "just OK".

It's not without its share of the frustrating aspects of the adventure game genre, but Dracula: Origin still manages to provide an interesting story and some good gothic atmosphere.

The game's arcade-like action can be fun at times, but its difficulty level and lack of mid-mission saves will quickly make it too frustrating for many players.

Overall, I had a little fun with the game, but more so early on, before the basic level designs began to feel too simple and repetitive. There's a good core in place here, so it would be nice to see a sequel with more interesting level designs and a longer game length.

Midnight Fight Express is an intense button masher brawler that gets repetitive too quickly, but it’s still fun and actually quite deep.

Cursed Mountain provides a unique survival horror experience for the Wii but the slow-paced gameplay can be a turn off early on in the game.

Mole Control could have just as easily have been called Molesweeper

Risk Your Life: PotE can be entertaining and thrilling, but it’ll take some work to make it that way.

Arcade shooter fans may enjoy taking this one for a roll and a spin.

Ultimately you'll master the mechanics of the game and it ends up being very basic at that point.

GRID Autosport is a middle of the road racing game that has little to set it apart from the competition.

FlatOut has its strong points, but some annoying features and an overall lack of presentation keep it from keeping it together until the finish line.

As such, it's not for the general gaming public and the casual gamer should stay very, very far away from it. On the other hand, those who like a good challenge, thrive in the face of difficulty, and have the patience to die a thousand deaths may find a lot to love here.

Not a bad game for really patient people who love dinosaurs. If you don't fit into those groups then you probably won't like it.

MX vs. ATV Untamed is a lot like a long race on an oval track - it's fun for a bit but then grows steadily more repetitive.

A hardcore sim for the truly hardcore sim fan.

A beacon of innovation to be held aloft for others to follow in its ideals. But the trouble is it doesn't always shine (the game or the weather) and the result is a rather limited and gimmicky appeal.

A space simulation taken where no developer has gone before.

Not a bad game, but not up to the usual Sam & Max standards.

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite is a good step forward in terms of gameplay so long as you overlook the visuals and the roster.

If you ever wanted to live the "Dawn of the Dead" experience, here’s your chance.

The game's complicated control scheme takes a little getting used to, and adjusting the arc of the ballista's shots can be frustrating at times. The game likes to turn small stick movements into large changes in trajectory, which is a problem when you need to precisely place your shots to bring down a retaining wall or an enemy knight. I didn't have this issue when playing the original game, so I don't know how or why it made its way into the VR version. Overall, I enjoy the game's presentation, the cool 3D feel to its playing field, and its quirky mash-up of genres, but I have to dock the VR version points for its finicky controls.

A unique game that is definitely worth a look by anyone looking for a gaming change of pace. Its long term appeal is questionable, though.

It looks great, but it is in need of more substance behind the style.

Quake Wars is a cut above the average online shooter, but it can't quite match up to the top tier games or its PC cousin.

Not quite endless, but some gamers will have fun with it while it lasts.

Battleborn can deliver some enjoyable moments, but the lack of modes and maps, long match times, and excruciatingly slow progression combine to make the game feel like a grind more often than not.

Dungeon Siege II fans will enjoy the chance to extend their time in the game’s world.

Project Spark makes it fun to create games, but those games are not that much fun to play.
