The dawn of a new age of strategy gaming on the go.

Overall the enjoyable aspects of the game outweigh its flaws, and I enjoyed the game. At its core it is a jigsaw puzzle game, so if that's not your thing Glass Masquerade won't have anything to offer you. If you do enjoy jigsaws, though, it's easy enough to recommend the game based on the artwork alone.

This is not a game for those new to strategy games - the challenge and complexity make Empire Earth too much to digest for these players and it may easily prove to be frustrating to them.

DJ Hero makes you more of a mimic than a mix-master, but it's still fun to play.

The game gives you a lot of action for a downloadable shooter, but it's not full-featured. There's no way to play or practice offline, so you'll have to learn the maps and how to use the vehicles in the heat of battle.

In serious competition, it suffers from the same drawback as the real world version of the game - players with deep pockets can buy themselves more powerful decks.

Both innovative and at times odd, Shadow Hearts: Covenant is a treat for RPG fans looking for something a little different than all of the RPG clones out there.

FlatOut: Head On gives you a lot of enjoyable racing for a portable game.

SingStar is not necessarily a game in the traditional sense, but it does make for a great party activity and a good alternative to purchasing a home karaoke machine. If you want to have a good time with some close friends, it certainly delivers that.

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

It’s amazing how good the game still looks for a game that is two generations old. It moves quite smooth and the lighting effects are really good. Shadows of the Damned deserves more recognition than it gets. I hardly ever heard anything about it when it first released and even now with the Hella Remastered release I still don’t hear much about this game. Suda51 fans already know of its greatness – I’m pretty sure of this. If you haven’t played this game and you like RE4, you definitely need to give it a try. This game is literally calling to you but you haven’t heard it yet. Answer the call. It’s trying its best to get through to you!

It will only take you a few hours to get through Welcome to Elk, but you’ll be thinking about it for some time after you’ve finished it. If that sounds intriguing to you, then I encourage you to take the time and experience something that’s not quite what you’d expect from a game.

Overall, the core of Pinball M is not that much different from that of Pinball FX. If you’ve played that game, once you spend a minute or two adjusting to the new menu layout you’ll be right at home. It would have been nice if you could have kept your collection of tables all in one place, but at least this separation allows the skilled designers at ZEN Studios to explore more themes – although the studio has toned down mature licenses in the past such as Borderlands. You can take it out for a test spin for free, and if you like what you see you can pick up another table or two, or go all in for about $20 at the time of this writing. ZEN Studios has consistently been providing new content based on new franchises to Pinball FX, so it’s likely that you’ll see Pinball M’s selection of tables continue to grow in the future.

Saints Row: The Third Remastered is one of the most entertaining open-world games ever made. It may be cliche to say, but you will be having hours of fun on end with this sizable package. To top it all off, the new visuals are comparable to an old statue being restored to newfound magnificence. The lighting and new textures will genuinely impress you, and the chaotic gang warfare is a blast, whether in co-op or alone. Overall, this is an urban escape worth experiencing, both for the first time and all over again.

Depending on your skill level, this DLC could take between 3-8 hours to get through, and the loot that you'll find, especially the rings, make it worth it.

Porting Revelations to make it readily available to millions of gamers was a smart move by Capcom, but if you have played the 3DS version already then there is nothing new here for you. For everyone else, Capcom has done console and PC gamers a favor in providing a thrilling and riveting addition to this truly evil series.

Back 4 Blood is loads of fun no matter which mode you play. The game supports cross platform (and cross gen) play for both multiplayer and co-op modes. The campaign is easily the best part of the game, but the multiplayer mode is a good companion mode. So long as you don’t mind that the game is always online and that there isn’t much of a single player mode at the moment, the game is quite good. I’m not much of a fan of online multiplayer shooters, but this type of game with loads of replay value is what I look for whenever I do play one. Like I said at the start, I don’t know how the game compares to Left 4 Dead, but that really shouldn’t matter much since Back 4 Blood is its own game, and it’s a lot of fun.

I can’t count myself as a fan of professional boxing, but I did find Fight Night 3 to be very enjoyable. I liked the challenge of needing to fight smart to win, and found that this made the game far more engaging to me than other fight games.

Vikings replace the pigs in this Angry Birds inspired tower defense mash-up.

Double Dragon Gaiden is a great game, but it just needs some fine-tuning here and there and it really needs an online co-op option. Just watching the game through trailers, I didn’t think that much of it, but once I actually played it, the game blew me away with how good it is. Thanks to the rogue-lite elements, this game can last for quite a while. There is a lot of variety in its gameplay and just enough in its overall difficulty for each playthrough. Overall, Double Dragon Gaiden is a fantastic beat’em up and one that I highly recommend.

Overall Tekken 7 is a definite improvement over past Tekken games and the overall fighting system seems to be evolving well with new enhancements that seem to fit in well with established features. My only main gripes with the game are the prolonged story mode and the stripped single player content. If you're buying Tekken 7 for its online modes, you'll get the most out of the game since the online is smooth and the new tournament mode is a great new feature. No matter what, Tekken is in a league all its own when it comes to comparing it to all other fighters and Tekken 7 is easily the best version of the series yet, so you owe it to yourself to pick up this latest installment if you're a fan of the series!

Overall, Pinball FX2 VR delivers an enjoyable pinball experience. I can't really say that you absolutely have to upgrade to VR if you already play Zen Pinball 2 on the PS4, especially if you've invested in a lot of extra tables for the game. Conversely, it's one of the more enjoyable titles I've played on PSVR, so if you're looking to expand your VR game library it's definitely worth a look.

If you don’t like word games, then you should stay away from Birdigo. If you do, though, Birdigo adds some unique twists to the standard scramble gameplay formula that you’ll probably find both novel and challenging. You’ll also appreciate the game’s visual style and animations, which give the game a lot of charm and will bring a smile to the faces of bird lovers. Spread your wings and give the game a go!

This is certainly a game best enjoyed for its story, but only if you can appreciate Terry Goodkind or Monty Python as well as J.R.R. Tolkien.

Soulcalibur V is just as solid of a fighter as its predecessors but it hit a few bumps somewhere in that 17 year skip from the last installment.

DmC: Devil May Cry shows the story of Dante from an alternate perspective and it does so very stylishly.

Vanguard is an incremental iteration for the Call of Duty franchise. It’s a solid entry in the series that does well what Call of Duty does well, but it doesn’t stand-out as a landmark release. If you enjoy Call of Duty, haven’t played for a few years, or are new to franchise, then by all means jump in. The water’s fine.

If you're a fan of MK11, then you should already have Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, but if you're still on the fence about it, the added story is great and the three new characters are some of the best so far, so it's definitely worth a pickup.

Poor translations and horrible voice-acting aside, Super Bust-A-Move 2 is a fun and often frantic game that should be a part of any puzzle game fan's library.

Overall Gotham City Imposters is a fun and fast-playing multiplayer game with a great sense of humor. If you're looking for a multiplayer shooter that you can jump into now and again for some quick fun, it's certainly worth a spot on your Xbox 360's hard drive.

Unless you really don’t like side-scrolling, bullet hell shooters, it’s easy enough to recommend Platypus Reclayed. It’s not the kind of shooter that’s going to test the skills of hardcore players, but with the adjustable difficulty it will provide a fun challenge to most gamers. And, honestly, it’s just a lot of fun in and of itself to be a part of such a creative Claymation experience.

I enjoyed the time I spent visiting The Berlin Apartment. I felt engaged with the people, and seeing some of the tumultuous times in 20th Century German history through the eyes of people living through those times. This is a game with a story to tell, and it’s an interesting one.

WWE 2K22 hits different and it might just bruise your face if you give it that same evil eye that you gave 2K20 since its far better.

All challenging boss fights, all the time. What's not to like?

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.

Infrastructure play even supports leader boards so that you can see just how well you stack up against the world.

Adventure game fans should take the time to do a little spelunking in The Cave.

Great multiplayer gaming will have you hearing the “call” again.

Locomotion hits on all cylinders as a transportation business simulator. If you are not stuck on the other areas of city simulation, you are sure to be satisfied.

The controls are good but they do take getting use to especially when switching back and forth between the different Warriors. The good news is that it will not take long to get the hang of it and the new 360 controllers are very comfy and responsive.

Frank West has covered wars, the Willamette incident and now he shoves Chuck Greene aside and covers the Fortune City incident!

SpellForce 2 is sure to satisfy action-RPG gamers.

I can’t help but feel that the past couple of episodes could have used just a little more of that certain something to reach the next level. There’s plenty of momentum here though to leave me eagerly anticipating Season Two.

I really enjoyed Team Sonic Racing. The team mechanics make the kart racing feel fresh and help the game stand out from the other kart racers out there. The track design captures the fun and spirit of the Sonic universe, and the races are every bit as fast as they should be. If you're looking for fast and fun kart racing, take Team Sonic Racing out for a spin.

Overall, Episode 2 is worth playing and I enjoyed my time with it. I did find Episode 1 to be more intense overall and better paced, but Episode 2 is certainly good enough to warrant playing it and to have you looking forward to Episode 3.

If you're new to LEGO games, then LEGO DC Super-Villains is a good place to jump in. The quirky and humorous storyline, imaginative level design, and unusual villains as heroes spin on the super hero genre make it one of the better recent LEGO games.

de Blob 2 brings a much needed splash of color and energy to a genre that's become dull and tired.

Tetris Party packs more Tetris fun into a downloadable game than you'll find in most "full" versions of the game

The artwork in the game is all surreal and it is really impressive, both in terms of artistry and imagination. The music in the game fits the feel of the artwork perfectly, and really enhances the game's mood. I found the game to be simultaneously challenging and relaxing, a really good game to unwind with at the end of the day. Watching the artwork come together and reveal itself is a delight, and I more than once fell under the spell of summit fever and spent more time with the game than intended as I pushed to get to the point where the last piece snapped into place. I enjoyed my time with the game, and if you enjoy puzzle games you probably will, too.

The online version of Middle-Earth is certainly worth a visit, especially if you count yourself among the legions of Tolkien fans out there.

An excellent and enjoyable tactical combat game for those who don't enjoy base building or resource gathering.

NBA 2K8 takes this year's videogame basketball crown.

I'm sure kids will appreciate the interactive cartoon nature of the game, and parents can feel safe leaving their kids to the family-friendly misadventures of Wallace and Gromit.

If you value story and atmosphere in your games, then you will enjoy the way Beyond Good & Evil transports you into its fantastic world.

Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle is definitely a collection to pick up if you're into the niche genre of beat'em up. It's so awesome to finally have the ability to play these games online with other players and relive the arcade days. Now, if only we could find some way for Capcom to pick back up the rights to Alien vs Predator and maybe... Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, hmmm...

Pac-Man purists may balk at this new edition of the game, but CE can be a lot of fun for anyone who enjoys fast-paced arcade action now and again.

An enjoyable game that manages to build far more atmosphere than most other games can even aspire to. If you’re looking for a bit of a creep-out and need a break from shooting Nazis and terrorists, then The Suffering is well worth your time.

Not quite Call of Duty 4, but a fun game nonetheless.

Prey has so much gameplay and objectives to accomplish it takes quite a long time to see what all the game has to offer if you choose to do everything. I didn't do every side mission and the game took me around 37 hours to complete. The game is tense and addicting throughout the entire campaign and it's a joy to play. Despite a few shortcoming, it's definitely one of the best games I have played so far this year and I highly recommend it if you're a fan of first person shooter RPGs such as Deus Ex or BioShock.

A lot of action gamers will appreciate this added challenge, but if you are an action game newbie or get easily frustrated you may find yourself walking away from the game.

You'll be amazed at the game's developers' recreation of Springfield and appreciate their attention to detail in packing in so many references to episodes of the series.

Skylanders Imaginators on the Switch gives you full Skylanders fun on the go, but there's something missing to the experience when you simply scan each toy and then put it up on the shelf. It's great to be able to create your own Skylander, though, and to watch the character evolve as you discover new parts and gear on your adventures. Overall, it's a solid platformer-action/RPG lite hybrid that makes for a nice early addition to your Switch library.

Great graphics and some innovative concepts make this one worth a close look, but a thin plot, linear play, and monster AI issues prevent it from achieving true greatness.

A lot of Star Wars gaming goodness in one package.

The Assignment is the first piece of Evil Within DLC and it makes the season pass seem very promising.

WWE 2K19 is a massive improvement over 2K18 in overall content. If you want more single player action and a far better My Career mode in your WWE game then be sure to give this game a try! For the past several years, I've been walking away from WWE games feeling disappointed or indifferent but with 2K19, I finally feel a sense of satisfaction after checking it out.

The LEGO series has recaptured its magic.

Cloning Clyde is a great game for those times when you’re looking to squeeze a small gaming session into your schedule. In fact, most of Cloning Clyde’s levels can be completed in under five minutes.

There’s not a better golf game available on the PS2 and it comes recommended to anyone but the most ardent of golf-haters.

The Consequence continues the intriguing story that the Assignment introduced and manages to mix up the stealth gameplay a bit from The Assignment.

A headlamp! A headlamp! My kingdom for a headlamp! Other than being way too dark, Doom 3 is a fun old school romp set in an immersive environment with cutting edge graphics.

EA Sports UFC 3 has greatly improved the UFC striking system and the gameplay is more fluid making matches even more enjoyable.

A fast-paced puzzle game that manages to put a new twist on match-3 gameplay.

With such an expansive roster, this game is easily the best of the Budokai games. It also plays well and it certainly looks fantastic. The only true flaw is that it is somewhat lacking in single player content compared to other DB games. It also has some character balance issues, which is kind of common in games like this. Unlike the past few DB games, this is more of one that you buy for playing against a friend or online rather than single player. Overall, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero receives a high recommendation from me.

Mercury Meltdown Revolution is a good puzzle game with terrific controls, physics, and is actually worth more than the price.

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.

It might prove to be a bit frustrating for the casual RPG player, but those who enjoy the genre will be pleased by the intriguing world and huge amount of gameplay provided by Wizardry 8.

Music Evolved may be a rhythm game at its core, but it's an inventive one and is recommendable to anyone who spent a lot of time with Guitar Hero, Rock Band, or similar games.

Evil Nun: The Broken Mask is an overall fantastic horror hide-and-seek style game. It’s honestly one of the best I have played thanks to the finely tuned treatment of the main AI enemy. Sister Madeline never feels like she is overdone to where she teleports throughout the area or just suddenly appears next to you. The game is definitely one immersive experience thanks to her AI. The numerous difficulties help a lot in making the game playable for all skill types also. You never get the feeling like you can’t progress because the game is too hard since you have the means to adjust it. I highly recommend this game to all horror fans looking for a good chase experience.

A unique life-simulator that is definitely worth a look for its novelty alone.

While it’s not your traditional horror game, Conscript is easily the closest you can get to an old school survival horror without having zombies or some other creatures in it. The horrors of war are definitely felt in this game. There is such a sense of hopelessness and loss throughout the game. The notes in the game help to add to that feeling. If you like horror games, you need to experience this game. It’s definitely a game that has classic survival horror fans in mind.

More of a solo act than a symphony, but it hits all the right notes for a puzzle game.

Even if some of the aspects have gone downhill when compared to the PSP version, the game still remains the same from a gameplay perspective and overall story point of view.

And one final word of warning ' Mortal Kombat is very liberal with blood and gruesome death, which is either a very good or very bad thing depending on your view of violence in games.

Secret Agent Clank brings a variety of fun gameplay to the PSP and it still has the same Ratchet and Clank feel that will keep series fans happy.

Masters of Anima's blend of action-RPG and real-time strategy gameplay works well and makes for an enjoyable game experience. If you don't play strategy games, then you may find the battles to be pretty difficult and you could find the game to be frustrating. If you're looking for something a little different and are up to the challenge, though, you just may find yourself hooked.

An enjoyable dungeon hack romp featuring everybody's favorite mutants.

Enough like its predecessors that if ATV or ATV 2 didn't appeal to you, then ATV 3 isn't likely to change your mind. However, ATV fans will be quite happy with the latest game in the series.

Zone of the Enders HD collection features high-speed robot action with a great overall story - oh, and it has another Metal Gear demo too!

You know what it's like when a band you like comes out with their first album in years and it's completely different than anything else they've done before? Guitar Hero Live is like that.

A challenging game with a lot of play options and an immense number of teams. Don't expect NHL-like scoring, though.

There are a lot of games on the market fighting for your attention, but Overlord snuck quietly onto the market and personally blew me away. Give this game a shot; you'll probably like it as much as I did.

Delivers some of the most imaginative levels ever found in a first person shooter, and is a great reason for Painkiller fans to go back to purgatory.

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.

Although there are a variety of objectives among the new missions, gameplay is not changed significantly in Island Thunder.

This is the way The Sims ends, not with a whimper but with a bang.

A fun and accessible multiplayer universe, but probably too simplistic for the veteran space sim crowd.

OMDU is an enjoyable game, with a nice combination of strategy and action gameplay with enough inherent randomness to keep the maps interesting after you've played them a number of times before. That being said, you should be aware that progression in the game comes in terms of access new traps, trap upgrades, and trap mods, as well as gear and perks, rather than in making your way through a campaign or a large number of levels. I found it odd and a little frustrating that trap upgrade points are awarded as random drops rather than through using the traps in the game, so it can take a while to upgrade the traps in your favorite loadouts while traps that you don't really use have reached higher upgrade levels. While there is variety in terms of enemy types at different difficulty levels and the number of heroes and traps you can use, the number of maps in the game is naturally limited. Achievement chasers will be in heaven, though, as the game features over 100 achievements to unlock.
