The original game was good, not great. Dark Arisen adds content, fixes existing problems and offers a massive world to play in for a bargain basement price.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the best TMNT game on the App Store (Rooftop Run was a waste of everyone's time), and definitely better than the recent TMNT: Out of the Shadows and animated series tie-in titles.

You might think that a puzzle game built around factories would have an industrial theme, but that’s not the approach Freshly Frosted took. Instead, the game’s levels take place in a serene, ethereal space as the factories appear to float atop pastel-colored clouds. A narrator introduces each puzzle with dreamy musings on the nature and deliciousness of donuts. It all helps to make what is essentially an industrial puzzle feel light, dreamy, and relaxing. Well, except for the puzzle-solving portion of your brain, that will still get a good workout.

Streets of Rage 4 is so very addicting and the game is full of old school beat'em up goodness. The game has tons of references to past games in the series. SoR4 is also very replayable. Secret characters are unlocked based on the total tallied score of all games played, so you have to grind to unlock them all. It's quite fun to experiment with each character - older characters play just like they did from the game that they were originally from. If you're a fan of Streets of Rage or just the beat'em up genre in general, you owe it to yourself to check out Streets of Rage 4. There is so much to enjoy and accomplish in the game that it will have you returning a bunch!

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an enjoyable, yet deeply challenging game. It's not really a Dark Souls with samurais game, but whether or not you enjoyed the difficulty level of the battles in Dark Souls will be a good benchmark in gauging how much you'll like Sekiro. If you're persistent, up for a challenge, and don't become frustrated easily, then Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an easy game to recommend.

I had a great time playing WWII. Maybe that's partially due to my fond memories of the first games in the series, but I genuinely enjoyed playing the campaign in WWII and it ranks among the best in the series in my opinion. I liked the game's return to a more methodical style of play in the multiplayer mode; I had fun with the past few iterations but the emphasis on taking good shots and picking your sightlines fits my style of play better than a reliance on speed and maneuverability. The new War mode is an absolutely great addition to the game, and I'll be spending a lot of time in it for months to come. Lastly, the Zombies mode feels both the same and different, being familiar enough to preserve a lot of what made the mode so good in the first place while being different enough to feel fresh and unique. Overall there's a tremendous amount of entertainment value in World War II, and it breathes new life into the series. If you've sat out some of the last few Call of Duty games, now's the time to reenlist.

Devil May Cry 5 doesn't just carry the torch of the series after DMC4, it devil triggers and flies away with that torch.

PSP owners won't have a compelling reason to relive these games in HD unless they're hungry for more trophies, but all other God of War fans should jump at the chance to play these thoroughly enjoyable games on their PS3s.

Besides the few flaws, the expansion is fantastic and I'm sure hardcore fans will sit back and consume it like a delicious wine just like they did with the main game. More Bloodborne is always a good thing!

The setting itself and the very unique factions in the game are enough to make the game stand out from the crowd. Back this up with some solid RTS gameplay and you have a winner in Rise of Legends.

You'll find that it will make its way into your collection of games that you always take on the road with you and that you'll pull it out for some techno-laced invader blasting fun time and again.

If you enjoy strategy games or RPGs, it's hard to imagine you not liking this game. In fact, it's likely to become your obsession for a while.

One of the great things about Borderlands is that there is always plenty to do. In addition to the story missions there are always a number of other missions available, either from characters that you meet in the game or from job boards in the friendly settlements.

A lot of gameplay modes and some pretty darn good football to boot; you can't go wrong with Madden NFL 2003.

If you never liked the Sly games then this means that you’re not going to enjoy Sly 3. The rest of you will love going along with the gang on another adventure.

As I stated starting out, you've got to like side-scrolling action games in the first place to enjoy The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, but if you do you'll love the love. It has so much style and character that you'll thoroughly enjoy your time spent with it.

Its challenging and exciting brawling action is backed with a unique style and sense of humor, making it easy to recommend.

Embrace The Darkness.

This could very well be a prototype for the next generation of city building games to come.

If you are a fan of Max Payne, this game must be played. The gameplay is very fun and it's easily the most cinematic Max Payne game yet. The story clocks in at about 10-12 hours of gameplay and the game has several unlockables. There are many reasons to go back and play the single player mode and the game offers many extra multiplayer modes as well. It's truly a crime to miss out on this one if you've followed the series up until now. Max Payne 3 is just as pleasing as the other games overall and has the best gameplay out of the series so far!

Owners of the Wipeout games on the PSP will appreciate the chance to play the game on a large screen, but other than that, Wipeout HD is more like the PSP games than it is different.

There is no IAP in sight and the game only costs $1.99, so if you felt like I did about the brawlers' failure on iOS give it a shot and be impressed.

Pinball doesn't get any better than this without an actual silver ball.

Despelote is a playable masterfully done trip down a nostalgic era when games, friends and football mattered in a way nowadays kids will never understand.

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is a metroidvania that I really enjoyed and kept me motivated to keep pushing through it. I love the masterful use of color and music in the game, as well as the unique and heartfelt story. I was fascinated by the setting and the game’s mythology – it was new to me and I truly appreciated being exposed to a new mythos that is extremely underserved in gaming and other media. I enjoyed reading the additional background on everything in the game’s codex. The game’s title – “Tales of Kenzera” teasingly implies that there are more stories to be told here. I certainly hope that there are.

Imaginative new units and missions and an entire new faction, make this a no-brainer purchase for Red Alert 2 fans.

The controls become second nature rather quickly, the graphics are great, the animation is awesome, the sounds and voice acting well done, there are sexy babes, and there are some great looking attacks.

Even with some inconsistencies between the scenarios, this game had a lot of time put into it and you should definitely pick it up if you enjoyed the original game. Fans of RE7 will really enjoy the remake since it nearly has the same type of gameplay (only with a third person camera). The remake does not outdo the original on every single level, but it definitely is the version that I'd choose to play from now on. No matter what flaws I point out, this game consists of so much win that the flaws get drowned out in the end.

A game with as much combat as Shadow of War runs the risk of becoming repetitive and boring, but Shadow of War never manages to devolve into an endless slog of orc fights. There are plenty of other activities and side quests available to provide a good degree of variety to the game, but the Nemesis system and the duels with orc captains really make the game feel more like a war than an endless battle. And even the battles themselves never grow boring - the quality of the game's combat system, the variety of powers available, and the feeling of near-invincibility you gain when surviving a battle against a dozen orc enemies make the game as interesting in its twentieth hour as it was in its first.

The player faces are expressive, and you can see their eyes move as they look around.

I've always enjoyed playing Far Cry games, but Far Cry 5 is probably my favorite. It has a few flaws and some missed opportunities, but overall it takes the Far Cry formula that's worked in the past and improves upon it. If you've never really enjoyed Far Cry games in the past, then those improvements may not be enough to change your mind about the game. However, anyone who's a Far Cry fan, or anyone who has yet to experience a Far Cry game will probably really enjoy their time in Montana.

Painkiller puts the action back into action gaming and will pull you in, pump you up, and unleash the righteous demon-slayer buried within.

The game does an excellent job of not only providing an enjoyable gameplay experience, but also of capturing the spirit of the Hulk.

This is a journey well worth taking for fans of word games.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is easy to recommend to both casual and dedicated comics fans. It sticks pretty close to the time-tested formula for LEGO games, and I'm sure that most fans of the series wouldn't want it any other way.

Despite the short length it's easy to recommend LIMBO to anyone who enjoys puzzle games, especially given the way the game expertly crafts a foreboding atmosphere with a minimum of graphics and sounds. If you played the game when it was originally released, you'll find that it has aged well and is still wholly capable of sucking you back in the way it did when you first played it. If you're new to LIMBO, then it's about time you played this classic indie game.

Immortal Throne takes an enjoyable game and ratchets up the fun a couple of notches, which is exactly what an expansion game should do.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the best shooter of 2012, and also one of the best games overall.

Fans of the original Tribes games will love to see that newest version delivers the same great gameplay, while those new to the series will find a lot to like with it and a faster and more in-depth shooter than most other games out there.

The swan song of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 couldn't be louder with this fantastic release that improves upon so much from previous titles.

A great big slice of sugary puzzle gaming goodness.

I can see some gamers wanting a little more combat and a little less tomb-raiding, but the overall experience will be enjoyable for most as Fallen Order is the best single player Star Wars game we've seen in quite a while.

Portable RPGs have become pretty stale of late, and Puzzle Quest is just the breath of fresh air the genre needs.

The style of the game is pure anime, with that Old West thing thrown in, but on the blocky side.

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, don't let this challenging puzzle game's cute graphics fool you.

Overall, Gunpowder is an enjoyable, and rather unique, physics puzzler. If you enjoy a bit of a challenge, and being rewarded for your efforts with a pyrotechnical display, you'll want to fire up Gunpowder.

Gameplay, presentation, everything about it is about as good as it gets, and I can't really imagine any gamer coming away from this one disappointed.

Texas’ stage is a desert area with a surrounding caravan. It has some great scenery of rock formations behind the caravan and is quite colorful and bright. Texas is one heck of a fighter. This bull combines heavy damage, good range, and fast movement into one huge bull that can definitely take a hit. His main flaws are his slow attacks and (of course) he is one big target. Texas is a fantastic first character for the season pass. Let’s hope the fighters that follow are just as good!

Crash Bandicoot 4 is a worthy addition to the Crash legacy. It captures the spirit, fun, and challenge of the original games, and adds a lot more that genuinely makes the experience even better rather than simply padding out the gameplay. The game is certainly challenging and the levels could probably use a few more checkpoints, but the number in the game is truer to the spirit of the originals than modern gaming standards. A little perseverance will get you through the game, but it’s going to take a little work if you want to be a Crash completionist. Overall it’s a great platform game that perfectly blends the old and the new into a fun new experience.

Its world is not as wide-open and free as it would have you believe and you can still see repetition and patterns in its AI, but the game is enjoyable nonetheless and well worth your time to play.

After playing The Wolf Among Us you can see that Telltale has a real grasp on creating amazing interpretations of comics. Even without having any knowledge or relation to the Fables comic I can't wait for the next four episodes.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero gives Xbox 360 players a glimpse of what to expect from Dead Rising 2 and after playing it, Dead Rising 2 is looking really interesting so far!

A mind-blowingly good time.

The most bizarre of the games is ATV Hockey, but surprisingly it is a lot of fun to play.

In spite of my initial reservations, Battlefield 1 quickly won me over. It captures some of the brutality of World War I combat without getting bogged down in the trenches. The result is an exciting game that doesn't feel like all of the other modern shooter games out there.

Overall, SOCOM is definitely at the top-tier of PS2 games in terms of sound, and can hold its own in graphics.

Overall, the Avengers Chronicles pack is a very strong set of tables, not just for the super hero fan but for anyone who enjoys Pinball FX2 or Marvel Pinball. Kudos to ZEN Studios for continuing to push the boundaries of video game pinball.

If you’re a fan of the old TMNT arcade games, you’re a shoe-in for liking this game already – it was practically made for you! If you’re not a fan of the TMNT arcade games, well, you need to become one, because this co-op beat’em up is too good to pass up and everyone needs to give this game a try. It’s clear that the developers spent a lot of time with the old games to help them create this nearly perfect recreation of old TMNT beat’em ups. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is the ultimate party game for when friends are over or just whenever you want to go online and kick some shell.

Dark Sector is by no means a fresh, original game. It copies from a lot of source material, from games to movies to, well… everything.

Car people will fall in love instantly, and the rest of us will have a simple game that can be enjoyed over and over, for 15 seconds at a time.

The Knife of Dunwall is the kind of DLC a game like Dishonored deserves.

Even though the gameplay elements may be a little light compared to most games, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Until Dawn. The story kept me captivated and very few games succeed at creating such a creepy and unsettling atmosphere.

The most disappointing thing about this DLC is that it's the final one.

Ratchet & Clank fans will be happy to answer this booty call...

All RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 fans will certainly love getting "Soaked!"

Classic real-time strategy action in a beautiful new wrapper.

If you have a PS4 you should definitely give Bloodborne a try. The game was super fun all the way through its 40+ hour campaign and I'll be playing it for quite a while longer to try to do just about everything.

If you've played plenty of Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel already, then it's pretty much what you've already seen and may still own, so it's really a matter of if you want to play everything again or just want to collect some new PS4 trophies.

Everyone with a PC should play this game; it's worth ten of most games out there today.

Dark Souls II was easy; Crown of the Sunken King is the real challenge.

Cataclysm has made some welcome improvements to the excellent original game and provides more fun with the best real-time space combat game to date.

Monsters Invade: Oz should be at the top of your iOS download list, and just trying it out won't cost you one red cent. What could be better than that?

Twisty Hollow is a unique puzzle game, and I enjoyed my time with it. I can easily recommend it to anyone who enjoys puzzle games, especially to those who are tired of the thousands of puzzle game clones available on iOS.

A deep and gameplay-packed treat for fans of racing whether they are looking for casual play or a more serious racing sim.

The amount of detail, information, and control in SimCity 4 is nothing short of amazing - wannabe city planners and mayors will be in city management nirvana.

Greed Corp's unique mechanic of balancing the need for resources with the need to keep your empire from crumbling into oblivion makes it an interesting and engrossing little strategy game.

Dead Head Fred is a very good game with a lot to offer. It is a shame, though, that some will pick the game up and put it down due to the frustration of the first level and boss fight.

Downwell isn't the kind of game everyone will like, but if you like challenging arcade platforms, you'll love Downwell.

Little Nightmares II excels at creating a creepy atmosphere through its twisted nightmare dreamscape. You’ll feel compelled to keep pushing forward, as much to help Mono escape from this world as to discover the mystery behind the Signal Tower. Death awaits around every corner, but I felt that each death was a learning experience more than it was a source of frustration. After each one, I learned a little something, be it when to swing a pipe, where to make a jump, what to avoid knocking over, or that loose floorboards are probably a trigger for a trap. And with each death I picked myself up and pushed further on, because I had to see how this nightmare ended.

Imaginators gives you the power to unleash your creativity and design your own Skylanders.

Walking Dead: Episode 1 - A New Day is a great opening chapter to the game and I can't wait to see what happens in the next episode. I'm also curious to see if it delivers on its promise that the choices that I've already made will affect the way the story unfolds from here. Even if the impact of these choices is minor, I won't be too disappointed. The game weaves one hell of a story and I want to see how it turns out.

Offering detailed maps, excellent graphics power and an extra single-player mission exclusive to the PS2, players who love stealth-action games cannot go wrong with this title.

It's almost hard to believe that a first-person shooter set 9,000 years before the invention of gunpowder could be this enjoyable.

Sometimes it's good to play a game that succeeds so well in the entertainment category while remaining light and humorous and this is one of those times.

The puzzle is the main draw for Galactrix with the RPG elements mostly along for the ride. But I will say that there were enough RPG elements to give it a fresh take and the puzzle element was more than worth the price of admission.

A cool game with a wonderful style and just enough gameplay variety to keep you around until the end.

Overall Pinball FX3 is an enjoyable experience. The tables all look fantastic and play quite well, and the pinball physics is unmatched in pinball video games. At the very least take the time to download the game and take its free table out for a test drive. You just may find yourself getting hooked on the game.

It is one of those indie games that's rather unique and makes for an interesting change of pace from other games.

A hearty "¡Viva Tropico!" for giving gamers such an innovative and fun game to play. While play may get a little repetitive during long game sessions, you'll definitely want to come back for more before too long.

Bad Company represents a new direction for the Battlefield series, and it makes its debut as a console exclusive with a building-blasting bang.

Outside of the new faction and a new free-for-all mode which is exactly what it sounds like, the multiplayer game remains essentially unchanged in Chaos Rising, which is probably a good thing since it is so enjoyable as it is.

If you were stuck on a desert island with a PSP and only one game, this is the game that you’d want to have with you.

Some gamers may be disappointed to hear that there's no multiplayer option in the game, but there's so much fun to be had in the dark reaches under Torchlight that you won't really mind.

The Walking Dead: Episode 1 takes the zombie apocalypse and makes it a story about a man and a little girl trying to survive. It's well done with just a few odd things. It's not an action packed experience and that may turn some away.

The play is simple enough on the surface, but the real gameplay comes from the depth of strategy involved in the game.

BioShock a year later is still a fantastic experience, and its still a game that every gamer should play.

Warhawk's soul lies in its online battles and that's all it has to offer.

The island setting is realistic enough to make you start to sweat from the heat, and the advanced AI makes for some exciting action. It's just one of those games that is experienced as much as it is played.
