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.

Tries to deliver a varied and immersive gaming experience, but just doesn't deliver.

Instead of treading in familiar action territory, Castlevania Judgement introduces us to a fighting genre with Castlevania characters but the overall Castlevania feel and quality that the series usually displays suffers quite a bit with this change.

In Besieger, a different approach to RTS strategy is defeated by poor execution and dismal AI.

The game is a total mixed bag, but most of the bad parts are brought on by the performance issues from being on Nintendo Switch. It just seems like the game wasn’t fully optimized well for the system. If you plan on playing the game portable, you may not notice the problems as much, but the framerate still got to me at times, even in portable mode. Overall, Silver Chains is a decent survival horror game, but I’d recommend another version unless you plan on playing in portable mode all the time.

Gryphon Knight Epic has a certain nostalgic vibe to it and it delivers a style of gameplay that's in short supply these days, but it fails to nail the gameplay both in terms of mechanics and enjoyment. There are some good ideas at work behind the game, but they need more work to make Gryphon Knight Epic a good game.

The game is good for a little bit of mindless fun ' the crazy ricochets and exploding zombies are entertaining ' but there's not a lot of challenge to setting up your shots.

The nature of the games means that they really only entertain the first time that you see each one, so repetition very rapidly sets in and your interest will wane just as rapidly. So much so, that you may not even be interested in playing the same micro games over and over again simply to unlock the rest of them.

There’s no customization in the game and the business model is extremely light. What the game really comes down to is keeping pretty girls happy so that you can keep watching them in their bikinis, and Hot Dog King manages to make this a pretty boring exercise.

In the end, STAY is a game that's premise is more interesting than the game itself. If Quinn was more focused on escape than on philosophizing and the game ditched the annoying and unnecessary puzzles, it would be a better experience. If you're expecting a game that plays like an escape room experience, you'll be disappointed in it.

Even with its flaws, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is a rather fun brawler that can be enjoyable for a while. It can be beaten in about two days, so one rental will easily give enough time to plow through this game and complete everything it has to offer.

A so-so game that would have been really good twenty years ago.

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.

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.

A weekend rental for those looking for a big rig fix, but it has trouble keeping its momentum up over the long haul.

Some of the ideas behind the game are good, and Fortified might have been an enjoyable game if they were better developed and balanced. Perhaps it needed more time in development or a bigger budget.

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.

The updated version of Destroy All Humans certainly looks a lot better than the original did on two-generation old hardware, but it really needed the gameplay to be updated as well. Artificial challenge created by horde-tactic mobs of enemies, a clunky skills and weapons system, repetitive gameplay, and claustrophobic open world levels all work against the graphics to really show the game's age. The game's premise still holds up today, so it's a shame that the gameplay was left stuck in the past.

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.

Friend or Foe’s single player is anything but a good time. You’ll be mashing buttons, setting up some cool looking but otherwise unimpressive combos and rolling your eyes through some of the most obvious boss fights since the NES days.

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.

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

Don King Boxing does nothing new or break ground, and it's possibly a cash-in for non-hardcore gamers who want to squeeze life out of the balance board, but as a party game you can't go much deeper than what this game offers.

As the matches drag on, you can't help but to use repetitive moves and you don't have enough control over things to be able to regularly generate positive reactions.

An homage to "Diablo II" that fails to capture any of the magic that made that game so much fun.

Will prove too frustrating for most gamers. It is best left to Galactica buffs who know the difference between a dagget and a Cylon and who are looking for any nostalgia fix that they can get their hands on.

There are some good ideas at the core of Interplanetary, and you're initial time with the game will be enjoyable. However, the weapons phase of the game is a poorly designed exercise in frustration that will have you soon giving up on the game.

An interesting concept that needs to be backed up with more game.

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

Limerick has some great ideas, but overall it's just not that fun.

Gangs of London features a lot of gameplay, it’s just that not very much of it is all that enjoyable.

If the game really loved geeks, it would give them a more interesting puzzle game.

There isn't anything here that I don't remember seeing several years ago. The background could have come from any of a hundred different games and the character are pretty blurry.

It's for people who are looking for a rudimentary exercise in radical thought and hobbled game design. If that's you, then you'll love Zeno Clash.

Perhaps the Commandos series should stick to strategy gaming.

Despite its problems, AEW: Fight Forever is a good start for an AEW game. It’s really nice to see WWE finally have some more competition. Let’s hope that the developers can address some of the problems in a future update and add some more content to the game in the months ahead. As it stands, the game is mainly only good for online or couch co-op with a friend. The Road to Elite single player mode is way too short and repetitive to hold up for long. The game has a better feel to it online when compared to a WWE game, so it has it beat on that. If you want a good single player experience however, WWE games far outweigh Fight Forever with content and just overall things to do.

Samurai Warriors may fall short in eye candy but with the multiple new characters, weapons, attacks and gameplay enhancements available, fans of the action genre will find the game stable and a load of fun to boot.

Jump Force celebrates 50 years of Shonen Jump with an overall rushed game that could have been so much more.

There is nothing technically wrong with the game; it is just bland, generic and quite simply uninteresting.

Flashback has resurfaced and is now upgraded for a new generation of gamers, but it's weighted down heavily with shortcomings.

It’s nice to see some bonus content and it’s great just to have more Back 4 Blood content overall, but this first DLC feels lackluster. The Ridden Hives literally feel like content that should have been in the game in the first place or been added with a free update. The new characters and new items are easily the best part of the DLC. Hopefully the upcoming DLC will be a better than this one. Tunnels of Terror is not totally bad, but it’s not exactly fantastic.

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

Rainbow Islands Revolutions is too simple and too short to be called either revolutionary or a classic.

Monster Energy Supercross 25: The Official Videogame might be a good game for you if you can learn its controls. For new people, I don’t recommend this game at all. New players should just stick with the last installment since it’s actually friendly to new players and you can learn as you go. Supercross 25 seems to think that you learn its new feel instantly or are willing to spend hours learning it. If you’re patient, you might like the game, but it’s definitely not for everyone. The graphics have improved, but that is about the only area where I see improvement with this installment.

If stacked wants to play with the big boys, it needs to bring more to the table.

The game doesn't feel rewarding enough, and that's a shame since interest in the Beijing Olympics was very high.

Valhalla Knights is almost a good action role playing game for the PSP. Almost.

The cooking game concept is off the wall enough to have the potential to be a fun party game, but Cooking Mama is not challenging or deep enough to pull it off. Instead it gives you too much repetition and frustration, kind of like getting stuck eating meatloaf every night.

I'll give the Stewie segments a 70, the Peter segments a 60, and the Brian stealth missions a 50. Averaged out the game would get a generous 60, but I'll give it a one point demerit for the lameness of the mini-games.

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.

Plenty of atmosphere, but short on fun.

It may have been a good idea to combine a cute platform game with pinball, but the result will frustrate as much as entertain its target audience.

Umbrella Corps can be fun with friends in multiplayer mode, but it is definitely a game that is not for everyone.

Veteran players and die-hard baseball fans will probably find it too simplistic and ultimately unsatisfying.

Emergency Mayhem throws some wacky tasks our way as we race to reduce mayhem but really reducing panic has never felt so repetitive.

The game should be another Puzzle Quest, a game that brilliantly built an RPG around puzzle-based battles, but instead, it's just another Bejeweled knock-off lost in a sea of derivative clones.

Frontline: Fields of Thunder turns all out tank warfare into a tedious puzzle.

After playing the multiplayer game enough to review it, I can’t say that I feel all that compelled to jump back into it. That’s a first for me, and I’ve been playing the game since before it even had a multiplayer mode. Modern Warfare III is the most disappointing entry in the series for me in a while – I haven’t been this disappointed probably since Ghosts. The franchise would have better served its fans by taking this year off and putting the time into creating a better-balanced, more complete entry in the franchise. You can certainly skip this entry in the series, or at least wait until it is heavily discounted, because it’s just not worth it.

Eliminate the tedium, ratchet up the tension, and get rid of the annoying quirks and bugs and you may have yourself a good little strategy game here.

If you loved the movie or just want to spend an hour or so with the game, then it's worth renting as long as you're happy with what you're getting yourself into. As a purchase, though, it's far too short, easy, and buggy to be worth the price.

A lot of different pieces that don't work well on their own, let alone together.

Nostalgia alone is all there is to drive this lackluster game port, and it's not enough.

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.

A decade old racer that feels like it's a decade old.

I enjoy the challenge of rogue-like games, but Gods Will Fall feels more frustrating than it does challenging. The game’s design really stacks things against you, to the point where it just doesn’t seem worth the effort. You’re better off seeking challenging gameplay entertainment elsewhere.

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.

Poor, unresponsive control and linear level design prevent this game from being enjoyable by anyone other than big fans of the animated series.

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.

Resource management for the masochist.

Texas Cheat 'Em may be built on an original idea, but it just can't pull it off.

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

Genesis Rising is pretty, innovative, and a complete mess.

It's hard to recommend this game to anyone who is not a 2D fighting virtuoso looking for challenging play on Xbox Live.

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

Battlefield has had some shaky launches in the past, and there’s no reason not to think that things will eventually be smoothed over in Battlefield 2042 over time. However, Battlefield 2042 is also weighed down by design issues and missing features. You’re going to want to wait on this one, and even then give some thought to skipping this iteration in the series.

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

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

Carnivores just plain falls short in its execution and its repetitive nature makes it difficult to hold the player's interest for long.

Fun gameplay is the real murder victim here.

The only thing astonishing about this game is how bland and generic it manages to be.

Combat is key in any good RPG and in Dragon Song the combat is very plain and in at least one area very bad.

Too much repetition, too many problems, not enough fun.

Overall ProStroke Golf is like an afternoon spent at an old muni course. You can have some fun with it but overall it’s bland and functional.

For an "untamed" game, MX vs. ATV Untamed just isn't all that interesting or fun to play.

Hydrophobia is a pretty good technical demo wrapped in an incomplete and unpolished game.

Dragon’s Lair HD is not likely to appeal to anyone who is not already a lifelong aficionado of the game.

The graphics are dated, the battles are like pulling teeth and while there is a lot to accomplish, none of it ever actually borders on being fun.

This game is essentially a watered down racer that is easily replaced by any other racing game.

It’s a shame that the city shows no real personality, I would have hoped that a city in the year 2090 would have looked futuristic or something. This one could be any of the current major cities with nondescript skylines and very plain colors.

The problem is that using the Ring is not critical to success in the game - you can complete it easily enough without ever using the Ring.

I wish there was more to this expansion because as it is you'll push through the new content pretty quickly and then find that you're not really compelled to come back to Mercury much after that. Curse of Osiris simply doesn't give you that much new content for your money, but without it your characters will be capped at level 20 and 300. This means that you'll be locked out of heroic level content because your power level will be too low. If you play with friends and they have this expansion, then you'll be forced to get it as well if you want to join them in every activity such as the Leviathan raid's hard mode or the Trials of the Nine. If that's not the case with you, you can probably pass on this expansion for now and see what happens with the next expansion due in spring 2018.

Backbreaker is trying to break into a genre that is dominated by a 2,000 pound gorilla and for that alone I applaud them. However they need to do some serious enhancements, maybe even illegal ones, in order to be taken seriously.

Leave this one to that small population of the gaming public that likes to play their games while facing their fish tank.

Take a Tom Clancy game, remove the realism, the freedom in pursuing your objectives, intelligent squad AI, and just about everything else that makes those games so much fun and you're left with nothing more than a mediocre shooter with a good storyline.

If the game’s story, characters, and research aspect sound really appealing to you, then go ahead and give the game a try – there is some intriguing gameplay under the incomplete covers. For anyone else, though, I’d recommend that you use your real-world Google skills to find another adventure game to play.

Only true diehard Transformers fans will be able to sit through this game, despite the fact that it’s pretty short. Everyone else will simply wish that it could transform into a better game.

If you really love Rainbow Six, then rent the game because you'll blow through the game pretty quickly.

While I appreciate the effort and skill that went into creating a game that throws back to an era that I miss dearly, Star Horizon simply misses the mark. The core of the game - the aiming and shooting - just isn't up to par. Your ship moving at the pace of a mail truck in a crowded neighborhood doesn't help either. While technically competent and somewhat well-written, Star Horizon just doesn't live up to the games it is meant to celebrate, though if there was a Star Horizon 2 on the, um, horizon, I'd sign up for it. The ingredients of greatness are all here, but a sequel with reworked systems could really, really sing.
