Legion Arena is a good buy for any gamer that loves playing General. It satisfies the need for a quick bloody battle and yet still provides enough depth to keep it all interesting.

Dungeon Keeper started with a good idea, but then it backed up that idea with some enjoyable gameplay. Dungeons takes that same idea, but misses on just about every point of execution. It's certainly time that gamers had another dungeon master type of game to play, but they'll just have to keep waiting for a good one.

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

Leave this one to diehard CSI fans who want to click their way through five new episodes of the show with little effort.

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.

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

A game with a lot of potential that was released before it was ready.

If you are a fan of the movies, then you’ll probably enjoy the game’s story mode and be a lot more forgiving of the bare-basics boxing.

Overall, Black Ops 7 is the best Call of Duty game I’ve played in a few years.

The inane mini games and forced motion-sensing features turn a bland trivia game into an annoying one instead.

A few interesting mini games are not enough to carry this overall bland tennis game.

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team is not an awful game. It lacks a lot of polish and gets repetitive quickly.

When viewed as a whole package, Godfather II doesn't equal the sum of its parts, or at least the sum of the parts, as they SHOULD have been.

Strategy gamers won’t feel the need to resurrect this annihilated empire.

Viking, once it is all said and done, just isn’t a very good game. It's repetitive, its boring and nearly every aspect of the game seems either rushed or plain forgotten about.

You'll probably have more fun revisiting the other Nun Attack games than you will taking on Yuki's new quest.

Even with One Piece: World Seeker's problems it can be fun to play once you get into the main story missions. The cutscenes are entertaining and the game has good character dialogue. It starts to get more interesting once more characters are introduced. Fans of the One Piece franchise will most likely enjoy the game for what it is much more than I did, but I don't see how you can ignore the gameplay flaws. The game really needs more options for exploration and more to do in its environments.

Overall, I’d say that this is a good video game adaptation of a board game – the AI is competent enough to be challenging to average player, but not so strong as to be frustrating, and the graphics put the original cardboard and plastic game to shame visually. I wish there was more information on the rules and even gameplay tips, though, as well as more gameplay customization options. CATAN: Console Edition won’t replace sitting around a board with friends, but it’s a good enough option if you want to learn the game or just take a board game break when you can’t round-up your friends for a game night.

I love the long race idea and I sincerely wish other games would give it a shot, but in this game, it just doesn't outweigh the drawbacks.

If Brave showed some bravery in its level design, it could have been a lot better game than it is.

Kane and Lynch is quite a good crime drama experience and serves as a plausible move away from the Hitman stealth series that IO Interactive is very well known for.

Overall NFS doesn't break barriers but does have some good ideas that I think given some time to fully develop the social aspect of the game could really revitalize the series even more.

As much as I fell in love with this game, it isn't going to please everyone. It is short, easy and can be difficult to follow if you aren't familiar with the story already. It also sports a dated design, and I can't see anyone but the superfans forgoing all the other amazing games out right now to play this one.

Heavy Weapon is fun in short bursts, but just doesn't give you enough bang for your buck.

Yet another effort to make music games portable fails to make the charts.

For the gamer who likes reading more than gaming.

I would really like to enjoy Daymare 1994, and I do somewhat. The game has collectibles to find, challenges to try for and multiple difficulties so there is some good replay value here. Just like the first game, you can tell that the developers had fun while making it with all the references and good atmosphere that the game carries. It’s just such a shame that this game frustrates me so much with its overall mechanics and poor enemies. I feel like this is a game that some people will enjoy (like I did somewhat), but it’s hard to deny the problems we have here.

Just Cause 4 has some enjoyable moments when you're playing around with the grappling hook to create explosive mayhem or experiencing the weather events, but the problem is that outside of this there's a lot of repetition and hamstrung gameplay that make the game feel like a grind.

Tekken Hybrid is a compilation of Tekken Tag HD, Tekken Tag 2 demo and the Tekken Blood Vengeance movie. It will really only appeal to the hardcore Tekken fans overall.

While hard-core RPG gamers may scoff at the game’s hack and slash approach, it plays well for those looking for an action-RPG that works well as a portable game.

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.

Although based on a popular board game, you'll soon grow bored with this game.

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.

There are better online shooters available for you to spend your money on.

If you're a fan of the DW hack and slash formula, like I consider myself to be, then you'll get the most out of DW9. The game's open world and extra tasks (side missions, material gathering, hunting) offer a good distraction from the usual gameplay. The gameplay has been given more depth, so there is more variety this time around, but it still gets repetitive after several hours. Players that aren't that interested in the DW formula might find something to enjoy with DW9 but even with all the extra additions, they feel like only a minor distraction from the base hack and slash gameplay that you'll ultimately be thrown into. Overall, the game is a good step forward for the DW series, but it still needs work in making its open world more attractive and fun to explore.

Martha is Dead has scenes that will stick with you long after you turn off the game making it a very memorable experience.

A frustrating game when played solo that becomes a divide and conquer race through almost puzzle-like missions when played online.

All in all, Hoard is a decently rounded game that only needs a little bit of polishing to finish off its great game design and put itself on the list of titles that will probably have a cult following for years to come.

The Painkiller series has indeed overdosed, and should have been stopped after the first two games.

Its gameplay is competent, but not challenging enough to hold the interest of sports game players for the long term. Think of it as a day at the beach during the summer - a nice little diversion with some pleasant scenery.

The final sequence to the game is quite interesting, but so very cryptic with the way it all ends up. If the next episode(s) of the game can fill us in more on what is going on and add more depth to the characters, this game series could have a good amount of potential, but as a standalone game, Home Sweet Home feels too incomplete to rank high among many other indie horror titles.

The DLC has a few hidden items such as monoliths and documents. Players will be given a new outfit, a new skill, and a new gun for completing the side mission. The DLC has its own set of trophies/achievements to earn. The Forge is also unlocked as a score and time attack challenge tomb on the main menu. Overall, The Forge DLC adds some interesting story for Abby's character and a fun new challenge tomb for a small fee.

The gameplay is still pure repetitive Dynasty Warriors, mobile suits or not.

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.

A strategic simulation of modern naval warfare whose following is smaller than it deserves.

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.

I'm torn over the score for Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet. The move from the ever-more-stale MMO combat kept me interested and entertained to the very end, but the painfully slow start, the blah and unnecessary multiplayer, the bland environments, repetitive enemies and almost hilariously bad cutscenes take a change for the better and stack negative after negative on top of one of the best things the SAO series has ever done.

Not Suda51's best effort.

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.

Trekkers will gain more enjoyment from this game than others based on its good storyline - they're also more likely to give the game more patience. Other gamers will find it too simple, linear, and restrictive.

If you just have to have another Bejeweled variant, then I suppose you might want to give the game a look, but otherwise there are better Bejeweled games out there (e.g. the Puzzle Quest games) that are more worth your while.

Unless you grew up playing Speedball 2 and have a strong desire to relive your childhood you should probably pass on this one.

I hate to say it, but White Knight Chronicles is a huge letdown. Aside from some of the environments, everything in the game is merely average or, in some cases, below that. The broken, boring combat stands as the game's biggest problem, but I can't help but feel that even if it was more exciting, the game would still be sub par.

An average game that won't hold your attention for too long in a genre in which there are plenty of better options available.

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.

There are only a few interactive moments in the game, but they are all pretty simple and seem to have been included so that Fated could call itself a game rather than a VR movie. The story is enjoyable enough, especially if you have more than a passing interest in Norse mythology, but the game is really short and ends rather abruptly, and it ends in a manner that will undoubtedly leave many disappointed with the ending. And if you're looking for a VR experience that's more game than experience, you should look elsewhere.

Earth Defense Force 4.1 provides portable pick-up and play pleasure on your PlayStation.

Attack on Pearl Harbor has its moments, but it will have trouble holding your interest all the way through the campaigns.

If you're buying Override as a single player game, you'll most likely get bored with it rather quickly like I did. The arcade mode is decent, but it gets boring very quickly. I didn't find the overall gameplay that fun, but I have to admit that the game definitely has a lot of attack variety and the control setup is quite good for choosing between all moves in your arsenal. The game mainly shines when it comes to the amount of match variety you can have while playing with friends.

Strategic Command 2 is best for someone entirely new to war gaming who is looking to get a feel for the genre. However, like training wheels on a bike it will soon outlive its purpose.

Alias is a game best suited for those who really, really want to play as Sydney Bristow.

It's more of a narrative experience than a game, and therefore its appeal will be limited among console gamers. If it seems of interest to you, then I certainly encourage you to give it a try, although you may still find the short length of Three Fourths Home to be disappointing. On the whole, though, it's hard to imagine that most gamers won't be dissatisfied after buying and playing this game.

NFL Head Coach brings football sims into the 21st Century, but it still won’t appeal to many people beyond hardcore sports sims fans.

For iOS gamers from the NES era, though, Contra: Evolution is a must-download, even if just to see how a treasured classic looks and sounds when brought into the modern era.

If you enjoyed Red Alert 3 and are looking for a little more, then Uprising certainly fits the bill.

QTEs and button mashing for Pirate Warriors only.

With a clunky interface, poor control, and frustrations aplenty, it should be sent to Davy Jones' locker.

Overall, Painkiller (2025) is a decent online shooter, but it really lacks content. You can rush through all the levels very quickly and complete the full campaign in a few hours (like maybe 4 hours). It is nice that it has multiple difficulties, but that just doesn’t hold up when you have so few of levels. The single player is basically an afterthought – it’s like a mode that punishes you for not playing online. If you plan to play Painkiller online with friends or randoms then you might find something to like here, but those that want a single player experience, look elsewhere or just go back to the older Painkiller games.

A strategy game isn't much of a strategy game when it relies more on trial and error than planning.

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

Resource management for the masochist.

Skyward Collapse is a game with simple mechanics, good interface and is visually pleasing, it's just not a lot of fun to play.

Overall, Sid Meier's Starships is simply too simple and bland to hold the interest of empire builders for long, and its best feature, the battles, is neutered by lackluster AI.

This expansion does not add enough to the game to make it recommendable to those who are no already diehard fans of Zoo Tycoon 2.

ABBA fans will say "I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do" to this SingStar release.

If you’re looking for a WWII shooter for your PSP, then Call of Duty is not a bad choice as long as you don’t expect it to match the excitement of the other games in the series.

Resident Evil Resistance is a surprisingly terrific topper to its base game package. It is one of the only multiplayer games where teamwork is genuinely essential. Not only that, but playing as the Mastermind is a truly unique and empowering experience. Accessible, layered, and blood-pumping, this is a marvelous multiplayer foundation that will only get better.

Fans of the film will enjoy it but action game fans will probably ultimately find it to be just an average game.

Party Hard really is a one-trick pony, and once you've seen that trick a few times you'll be ready for the next thing.

Need for Speed Undercover is street racing for the short attention span crowd.

Older gamers will find the gameplay simply too repetitive and simplistic. A new beginning for Spyro was a good idea, but this game is more of a false start.

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.

Unfortunately, the fun factor of the card game versus its video game version is an apples to oranges comparison.

You don't see many platform games in this style these days, especially on the Xbox One, so Super Lucky's Tale delivers something a little different. If you're feeling a little nostalgic for a platformer in a classic mold, the game will certainly help scratch that itch. It's also something that will be appealing to younger gamers, but the youngest ones may find it a little frustrating. Otherwise, you're safe taking a pass on this particular tale.

Killer is Dead is probably the weakest Suda51 game that I have played, but it has a very enjoyable combat system that might draw in some players like it did with me.

You don’t get a real sense of speed and this makes the handling very problematic.

Youngblood starts off great, but fails to keep that momentum going. The level-locked missions and daily grind required to level-up and advance just don't work with a Wolfenstein game, especially since it lacks all of the social and gear upgrade aspects of the online shooters it is trying to emulate. This also makes the game stretch out it its already thin story to the point where you'll barely notice it's there. Youngblood is a rare misfire for the Wolfenstein series, and you won't miss much if you sit this one out.

NBA 09 suffers from not having the proper attention to flesh out the gameplay to represent real basketball.

A novelty toy that will hold your interest about as long as most novelty toys do.

When you stop thinking about how much better this game could be and accept it for what it is, you realize it's an enjoyable, story-driven, partial sandbox, space-flight sim that doesn't hold your hand like most current games. But even a space geek may not be able to overlook all of its out-dated and ill-conceived elements.

NBA '08 can provide its own brand of fun and excitement, but there are too many holes in the on-court action for it to make a championship run.

It has all of the prerequisites for an amazing game: good graphics, strong fiction to draw upon, and an interesting plot. Unfortunately it stumbles in its execution of gameplay, and not because it tries to hard to do something new.

Speaking of flying on Saphira, that wasn't nearly as much fun as I thought it would have been and never gave me the idea or feeling of power that must go along with being on such a beast. I really would have liked to see more down with the flying and for better control while flying.

Layers of Fear 2 has a great horror atmosphere, but the game falls flat when it comes to gameplay.

NBA 07 is best for those looking for a more simple and arcade like basketball game or for those who are looking for a bit more from their sports games than just playing franchise mode all of the time.

If you’re really into fighters, then you may want to rent the game to check out the novel betting feature, but expect to be disappointed by the game’s relatively simple fight engine. However, overall The Con just doesn’t have enough going for it to suck you in for the long term.

It's online-only, its expensive and single-player enthusiasts won't find anything to enjoy in this title.

A fun main mode of play that can get quite addicting, but once the novelty fades there isn't anything else on offer except for the promise of future upgrades.
