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

Plenty of atmosphere, but short on fun.

The ultimate action-RPG.

Resource management for the masochist.

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

It's worth taking the plunge to find the crown of the Sunken King.

Here's the real spoiler alert: nothing in Spoiler Alert lives up to its novel concept.

The game's presentation is nice and there are a lot of little touches here and there that fans of the show will appreciate, but a game needs to deliver fun and challenge before fan service and The Great Prank War simply falls short on that.

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

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.

Stick It To The Man is a great downloadable titles with plenty of actual laughs and some engaging gameplay to match. With so much that could have gone wrong, you owe it to yourself to check out the game that got so much right.

A great big slice of sugary puzzle gaming goodness.

Constantly losing the ball in cascading explosions of color and then having almost no time to react when the ball drops out of the fog of sparks can lead to a lot of aggravation, and this may in turn lead some gamers to start punching the real bricks in their walls.

Regardless, the storytelling of any Telltale series is captivating and leaves you wanting more. The Wolf Among Us is literally a visual story, and we are just its puppet masters.

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.

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

Wizard's Lizard is rogue-like like no other.

A story-driven journey through a war that's been overlooked by video games.

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

It's part simulation, part arcade, and all fun. This year's installment is the best in years.

One shovelful after another of classic NES game inspired goodness.

Don't let the odd name turn you off; this one is worth checking out.

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

Asteroids on 'roids - a fun combination of empire builder/tactical shooter with reasonable replayability.

An enjoyable twist on the tower defense genre. The downside of tower defense games is that you can often find yourself a disengaged viewer, watching your towers do their work and hoping for the best. That's not the case with Space Run. It has the strategy elements of a tower defense game, but it keeps you constantly active in defending and adapting your ship. And to me, that's a winning combination.

Its unique look and charms will stick with you long after you've finished the game, and long after you've forgotten most of the other RPGs that you played before it.

Ultra Street Fighter IV adds even more characters and enhancements making this version the ultimate version of Street Fighter IV.

More enjoyable for the experience than for the actual gameplay.

The intriguing setting and well-crafted story completely drew me into the game, and I enjoyed facing off against the secret weapons brought to life by the diabolical minds of Nazi scientists like robotic dogs, towering walkers, and cyborg mechs.

Frighteningly boring.

Life Goes On provides some fun in spite of its short life.

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

Never has a game so difficult been so rewarding.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure once again makes a very stylish fighter but it still doesn't match up well against the competition of fighters out there.

Unfortunately, this "Epic Quest" is epic in name only.

Quickly hack and slash your way to boredom.

There's no reason to recommend not buying the game if you're a LEGO game enthusiast, but you may want to hold off on it until you've seen The Battle of the Five Armies and LEGO The Hobbit is actually a complete game.

Showing some age, but still a solid home run.

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 Crooked Mile sets the Wolf Among Us on a straight path to an exciting conclusion.

Even more amazing, and difficult, than Dark Souls.

Not bad, but no need to play it twice.

Yaiba looks really cool from screenshots, but the combat system is very cheap and makes the game more frustrating than fun.

Recommended for RPG fans that missed Tales of Symphonia the first time around.

The definition of survival horror genre today - grown more beautiful with age.

Save the Carrot Pro quickly wears out its welcome, and you'll probably want to delete it off of your phone or iPad within five minutes of playing it for the first time. Even if games lasted longer than a few seconds, there's not enough here to hold your interest for much longer than that.

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

Titanfall is a lot of fun to play, but some of its shortfalls left me a little disappointed.

What might have been a good game is dusted by poor controls.

An original ray of sunshine in a genre crowded with mindless clones.

Even the background music piped into places like Tweak's Coffee Shop or an office waiting room is drawn from the series' extensive library of original songs. If you've been watching the series as long as I have (forever), then you'll be in absolute South Park trivia heaven.

It's worth your time to take these tanks out for a test drive.

The right way to update a classic.

I enjoyed my time with Broken Age. I found the story to be compelling, and I kept coming back to play the game in much the same way I keep making time to read another chapter in a book that's hard to put down.

Bigby plays both good cop and bad cop in an episode that's mostly good.

At its core it's a bizarre but ultimately satisfying game.

Like both jazz and punk, it won't be appreciated by everyone.

A saga indeed - long on story, short on gameplay - and as a gamer it's something you'll either love or hate.

From Soho down to Brighton, it's the best videogame version of pinball you'll find.

It's always good to see a puzzle game with a unique style and an original concept, and the game certainly earns props for turning to M.C. Escher for inspiration.

It may have been liberated from the PlayStation Vita, but it still feels like a portable game.

The game manages to hit that sweet spot for mobile games where a simple concept is made both fun and challenging; running around the screen dodging attacks while jamming on a guitar is a blast.

One of the best games that you can buy for your new Xbox One is an inexpensive download.

A simple game with a simple interface that is a delight to play.

Freedom Cry delivers what you want from DLC: a new story that will take you hours to complete and more of the gameplay that you enjoyed in the original game.

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

Need for Speed Rivals is a fun race and chase driving game.

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.

I've played all of the major titles released with the Xbox One, and the one that I've had the most fun with, the one that I keep going back to, is Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. If you get only one game with your shiny new Xbox One console, make it this one.

Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers is easy to pick up for those who've played Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, but it's a game that only Saint Seiya fans will truly like.

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

Skylanders keeps getting better, and your budget for figures has to keep getting bigger.

You'll have to use the power of imagination to make it seem that this game is fun to play.

Full Burst is the ultimate version of Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, but if you have the original version, there might not be enough here to get you to come back to it.

AquaPazza looks fantastic from a visual perspective, but aside from that it's overall an average fighter.

Sonic is no longer a good or even passable video game character.

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.

GTA V continues the game series' tradition of raising the bar for open world action games.

While the single player campaign does have some exciting missions, overall it's too easy and the story is simply a mess. As always for a Call of Duty game, Ghosts multiplayer really delivers, providing plenty of fast, smooth, and challenging online competition.

If you're looking for another game like Portal, then Magrunner is definitely worth a try.

An idea that sounds better on paper, which isn't good for a comic book inspired game.

There's a decent game hidden under all of this monetization, but it's not worth subjecting yourself to all of these aggressive attempts for you to put a lot of money into the game. The game's just not good enough to cost so much to enjoy.

For One Piece fans and One Piece fans only.

Legend of Dungeon is Rogue-like adventure at its best, with a side of humor to put a smile on any gamers face.

The stealth genre gets some much needed reinvigoration.

Not Suda51's best effort.

Simply put, it's perfect.

NHL 14 delivers a solid lineup of improvements and much appreciated tweaks to the franchise. It's not without some lingering issues, but luckily most of those are contained to the off-ice portions of the game and are trumped by impressive amounts of polish.

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.

The Toy Box is the star of the game, so why does it take so much time to unlock it all?

You're better off resisting the urge to collect more toys.

It is indeed a legendary game.

A throwback to SNES platformers for your Xbox 360.

Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate is a great fighter for new players and might be a worthy upgrade for those that already own the original DOA5.

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.

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.

A good football game that could still be better.

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