Freestyle Street Basketball is for those who enjoy outspending their opponents to buy the coolest gear and not so much for gamers just looking for a fun street hoops game.

The overall experience with Tannenberg is great. Their downfall right now is low player population especially on the US servers. The saving grace is the locale can be changed and the EU server is usually loaded with players. This of course increases the response time if within the US but is barely noticeable. Another downfall is the lack of differentiation in weaponry for the class selections. It is difficult to tell which set of weapons to choose from which boils down to trial, error, and preference. It's not the end of the world but it would be nice to see stats before making a selection. Anyone remotely interested in a fresh authentic take on a World War series should give Tannenberg a chance.

Need for Speed: Nitro is an arcade style racer that, while not too terribly deep, is worth a spin around the block.

Capcom Arcade Cabinet is just a part of a much bigger collection of old school goodness that can be fun for nostalgia's sake.

Odium to the Core is certainly tough, but in a good way. The game never feels unfair and each death feels deserved. The game's presentation adds to the fun, with graphic novel style cel-shading using colors that really pop combined with an original D&B soundtrack with tracks crafted to fit each level. If you're easily frustrated, then you should avoid this game completely - I unlocked the achievement for 100 deaths faster than I'd care to admit. If you enjoy putting your skills to the test in simple but challenging arcade games, then you're going to love Odium to the Core.

Familiarity with the game's characters is what breeds enjoyment of the game, otherwise you're probably looking at contempt.

Ace in Action is not one of the best looking games out there and its gameplay is a bit on the derivative side, but overall it is a surprisingly enjoyable game.

Overall, the game is one of the best pay-to-win games that I've played, but that doesn't keep it from having a few minor issues and a sometimes confusing upgrading system. That being said, if the game gets too hard for you, you can always buy your way to the end.

Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster is easily the most unique of the old-school RE games and one that should be experienced if you're a fan of the series.

Even with the insanely boring story and dialogue, this game has some pretty good gameplay. If you can reach the point (around 2-3 hours) where the game actually starts to allow you to venture out on your own, the game gets much better, but before that time, it really drags heavily. If you can get adjusted to the quick QTEs and having to waste turns on pinning, the combat system is actually quite good. The hype system is one of the best parts of the combat system. If you can gain enough hype to build the meter all the way, each battle becomes much more fun. Boss battles are also a lot of fun and a good challenge as well. WrestleQuest is definitely a long RPG with a lot of content (side quests, main quests, hidden items). WrestleQuest is worth a try for fans of JRPGs if you’re in it for the long run. If you’re expecting quick amusement however, this game really takes a while to get good.

A good brawler that finally allows the player to enter the Matrix as Neo, just be aware that the Matrix is more powerful than your PS2 and at times this causes some irritations.

Enjoyable arcade shooter in the sky, free to play and free from annoyances like flutter and engine torque.

Basically, if you've enjoyed this type of RPG before and have the time to get into a new one, Phantasy Star Portable 2 is pretty much a must-buy.

Faithful to the manga, but lacks the modes of other Dynasty Warriors games.

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.

Best left to the diehard franchise mode fans.

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

Duel Masters throws one duel after another at you with little reward beyond a new card and making it one step closer to the end of the game. You've got to really like the Duel Masters card game or else this will get old and fast.

The Matrix fans and MMORPG gamers looking for something without dwarves and elves should jack into The Matrix Online. However, like the movies there are disappointments.

Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is something that's a bit rare on the PSP, an enjoyable first-person shooter.

Madden NFL 23 is another incremental update in a franchise known for putting out incremental updates. Updated rosters, a few minor additions to existing game modes, and a couple of gameplay tweaks – you know the drill. The presentation is still thoroughly dull and even the soundtrack feels tired. The gameplay engine is in need of more than an incremental update, though. The “if it’s in the game, it’s in the game” game still feels more like you’re playing a Madden game than a simulation of an NFL game. With the passing of its namesake, perhaps it’s finally time to build a new game, one that NFL fans can really get excited about.

A fireball on the verge of a meltdown.

Pinball FX does a good enough job of recreating the game of pinball to warrant a look by fans of the silver ball who wouldn't mind occasionally saving themselves from a trip to their local bowling alley.

SEGA keeps the Virtua Tennis series alive with its 4th entry into mix, bringing along a bundle of upgrades and fresh game modes to keep us swinging away.

If the super long title doesn't stress it enough, Friday the 13th: The Game Ultimate Slasher Edition is the definitive version of the game.

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.

While I don’t have any huge complaints overall with Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, it just seems to be missing something and at times the action is slow and tedious.

The game is fun enough at its core to have made it very popular with the PC casual gamer crowd, but as an Xbox Live Arcade title it just falls short.

I’d say that it would make an excellent tool for training young strategic thinkers, but for some reason there’s an inordinate amount of cursing in the game’s campaign game and I can see some parents taking an issue with this when it comes to their own young gamers.

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.

Big Bang Pro Wrestling is fun to look at and admire for its controls and many other factors, but it isn’t very fun to play.

Maid of Sker has a feel all its own to it. It's not a mind-blowing game, but everything seemed to go together very well by the time it ended. The game is actually one of few games this year that I would replay to experience again. It sort of chugs along at the beginning but once things start to unravel, it's hard to put down. The game has many files that were actually interesting to read - it seems strange to commend a game for its files, but too many other survival horrors have files that don't contribute much to the main plot and feel useless to read. If you're a fan of survival horror, definitely give Maid of Sker a try. It's one of the better survival horrors that I have played this year so far.

Fun for a rental if you've always had the goal of completing two games in one afternoon. Otherwise there's not enough gameplay here to justify the cost to anyone but a hardcore Metal Slug fan.

Middle of the road RTS fare. Strategy gamers might enjoy the game's novel setting, but its quirks and shortcomings may prove to be frustrating.

Flop like a fish, because this remake is rapturous! All you need to do is ignore the multiplayer mode, and you should be good to go on this half-price trip to Bikini Bottom.

Band of Bugs is not a bad game in and of itself, but its appeal is limited by its simplicity.

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

The Zapper might have its problems and Link's Crossbow Training might be one of the shortest games in history, but for only $20, it fairly fun.

1942: Joint Strike wasn't only a disappointment because the game just isn't very interesting or fun, it also served to remind me that I've still got another couple of months until Capcom's remake of Bionic Commando hits the PS3 and 360 for download.

An interactive Honk Kong action movie with too much movie and not enough interaction.

Vergil's Downfall tells the story of what happens to Vergil after the events of DmC Devil May Cry and is a welcome add-on to the main campaign.

Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is a decent beat’em but it takes a lot of patience to truly enjoy.

There are some good ideas here, but the game is more frustrating than frightening.

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.

If you are still a PSP owner and a strategy fan, Gungnir is almost a must-buy.

Hotel Barcelona is oozing with style but the gameplay drags the game down way too much to be fun or memorable.

It's far from awesome, but it sure is fun.

If you're a fan of SNK games, it will probably be easy for you to look past the game's quirks and shortcomings. You get a lot of games for your money here.

If you're looking for some fun role-playing light gameplay, then Orcs & Elves is for you.

Who knew that solving a mystery at a school for wizards would be so tedious?

My only real complaint with Remothered is just that it would have been great if it were a bit longer. It tells a great overall story, but it felt like it could have been longer. Either way, the game is a definite pickup for survival horror fans that love hide and seek style horror gameplay.

Blitz the League 2 takes the "No Fun" out of the "No Fun League".

Icon is an average fighting game but the graphics, style, and interesting use of music make it more entertaining than I thought possible.

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.

Brink has occasional flashes of brilliance and fun moments, but on the whole it just feels like a game that needed more time in design and development.

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.

Visually stunning but ultimately it is simply just another repetitive button masher.

NFL Street 3 is great for quick-playing, over-the-top football action on the go.

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.

At first glance Broforce may look like a basic side-scroller built on a one-note joke, but there's a lot more depth to the game than that, both in terms of gameplay and humor.

A very run of the mill platform game. You'll probably want to fast-forward past this one.

The Order of the Phoenix is the best Harry Potter game to date and the first one that’s a real treat for fans of the books and movies.

Lost Planet 2 is a disappointing sequel, and there are too many other, better options out there to warrant a visit to E.D.N. III.

Overall, I had a good time with Legends of Kingdom Rush. I loved the art style and music, and enjoyed the surprising amount of challenge provided by its battles. It may not be as complex a game as those who are into the tactical genre may be used to playing, but I think that makes the game more accessible, and it manages to do so without making the battles cakewalks for those who still want to put their tactical skills to the test. I also liked that the battles play out relatively quickly since I sometimes find that tactical games require so much time to complete battles that they can be a slog to get through. If you have a Steam Deck, the game is mouse-based and has no controller support so you’ll need to use the pad and triggers as a mouse. It’s not the most precise way to control a game, but you can get by if you’re on a couch. It may be a little frustrating if you’re in a vehicle, though.

The UnderGarden's unique elements come together to make for an enjoyable and relaxing game experience.

Provides some fun racing action, but it's not outstanding.

Viking had its moments and bordered on enjoyable at times, but these enjoyable moments were interspersed with too much tedium.

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

Buzz Master Quiz is not much of a quiz show and is far to easy for quiz masters. Even those looking for a casual trivia game will only get a few hours of fun out of it. You're best off simply taking a pass on this one.

Not a huge game, taking about twenty hours to finish in all, but is packed with some of the scariest moments I have encountered in my gaming life.

If you want a story in your games, this isn't the game for you. If you love One Piece and want the very best version of Unlimited World Red, the Switch version stands just higher than the PS4 and Vita outings.

I really want to like Ad Infinitum more than I do, but it has too many faults that ruin the experience.

A ton of gameplay, a ton of issues.

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.

If only the Wii controls were as precise an instrument as maracas...

Shorter and less satisfying than what we've come to expect from a BioShock game.

Crazy and weird don't necessarily add up to fun.

Avencast manages to be derivative and innovative at the same time, and the result leaves the game somewhere on the lower side of average.

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.

I Hate This Place is a decent craft-based survival horror, but it doesn’t truly excel in anything. It’s such a mediocre game overall that isn’t worth its asking price. There is a lot of potential in the game, but it just needs more in many areas. The way it is, the game looks way better than it plays. I Hate This Place is not a bad game, but in the end, it comes across as very “meh”.

LOSTMAGIC’s unique real-time battle system is weighed down by some frustrating issues, but it is an interesting game nonetheless.

A mix of tactical and shooter gameplay can work - it has worked in other games before - it just doesn't work well here. It's probably the result of all of the gear changing that the game had to do during development.

There's some potential to an RPG/pinball mash-up, in fact, Zen Pinball has a table that shows that this is a viable mix, but unfortunately Rollers of the Realm is not the game to realize that potential.

Overall there is nothing bad about The Run. It promised and did not deliver a completely engrossing story.

Even by trying to differentiate itself with a few gameplay extras, Infinite Undiscovery still falls into the average RPG category, but some gamers will still find a great adventure in this one if you're hungry enough for an action RPG.

All XGRA is asking of you is to get in, hold on tight, and enjoy the ride. While it may not be the most incredible ride it is still an enjoyable one, especially for the price.

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.

There's some fun to be had in Flock … at least for the patient.

Large scale real-time World War II combat is a great idea, but Sudden Strike II falls short in its execution. Take away all of the World War II units, and you are left with a very average strategy game.

If you want a good single player fighter with a bit of competition in online play for the My Hero manga series, you'll probably enjoy My Hero One's Justice quite a bit. The game is filled with unlockables in just about every mode so you'll have to really grind in order to get them all. There are a total of 20 characters in the roster, which includes one hidden character that is unlocked by beating story mode. Even if you're not a fan of My Hero and enjoy Power Stone gameplay like I did, you'll probably find something to enjoy in One's Justice.

Aside from a few slipups, it provides a fun, funny take on handheld squad games, and it does it with its tongue firmly in its cheek, in the best way possible.

Pick up the game if you loved the original or have a thing for retro shooters, otherwise you'll probably want to stick to modern shooters to get the most play time bang for your buck.

For a game with so much detail, it is surprising that there is not more in the way of detailed summary screens available.

Overdose is an accurate title where you will OD on the repetitive action and the all too common bad camera control. But on the bright side, it's only about $15.

It can feel slowly paced and has its annoyances – some of which are inherent to the genre – but if you’re looking for a casual game that plays as much as a story as it does a game, you’ll probably want to give this one a look.

Streets of LA potential is sabotaged by poor control and some repetitive gameplay aspects.

Odds are that if you like these kinds of games, you'll have some fun with Groovin' Blocks, but if this isn't your thing it won't win you over.

You can certainly have fun with Madden NFL 2022, but overall the changes over 2021 feel incremental at best and show more potential than they actually deliver. My wish list for 2023 would be an NFL game that gets me as pumped-up to play it as I feel on game day, one that has an AI that actually reacts and adapts to my play-calling, and one that has animations as fluid as the real thing.
