Overall, Tearaway Unfolded is unique and charming enough to recommend to gamers.

Ratchet: Deadlocked has a lock on exciting, over-the-top gaming fun.

Other roguelike dungeon crawlers have left me cold in the past (the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games jump to mind), but Z.H.P. has sucked up more of my time than I'd like to admit to.

If the whole games as art thing is close to your heart, you are looking for a puzzle platformer or semi-Metroidvania experience or you simply want something a little a different after finishing Doom, Mario Odyssey or Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Teslagrad is one of the best options available on the Nintendo Switch.

For those that have yet to experience a Sims game on a console and want to then Bustin’ Out is the way to go.

A pretty enjoyable fighter. A deeper Konquest mode that compelled players to complete it and Xbox Live support would have made this an even better game.

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

NCAA Football 08 is a good step forward for next-gen, HD college football gaming, but there's still plenty of room for improvement

Overall, Advanced Warfare delivers a complete and enjoyable Call of Duty experience.

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.

If most RPGs were as interesting as The Witcher, I would spend a lot more time playing RPGs.

Unravel 2's gorgeous settings, clever puzzle design, and unique play mechanics make for an enjoyable game. In fact, I found that playing Unravel 2 is a great way to relax - it's the kind of game that's a good choice to play before turning in for the night. A dream-like game that makes for an easy transition to the land of dreams.

Overall, Black Ops 2 on the Wii U is easily recommendable. It proves that the Wii U can handle a modern top-tier shooter with ease, and is easily one of the best titles in the launch lineup. Unless you're buying a Wii U for the kiddies this year, you'll want to add Black Ops 2 to your new console's bundle.

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

Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown is one epic battle for those that want to fight online.

Graphically the game looks good, but thanks to its console roots does not match the best looking games available.

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

Being a fan of almost every genre this game has smashed together into one has made it highly enjoyable, and the ending had me hoping that the next installment (should they choose to make it) gets in the development queue soon.

Toy Soldiers: Cold War will be the most fun you've had with your army men in years.

Either way, if you can ignore the faults, you'll have a great time with this ambitious and entertaining game.

Ilomilo is enjoyable enough, but it's not the kind of puzzle game that you'll find yourself obsessing over.

College Hoops 2K7 does a great job of capturing the atmosphere of college basketball, and there’s a lot of game in there for the NCAA basketball fan.

If the environments were more open, if there was more variety to the puzzles, if the game lasted longer, if ..., then you could have had the best game of the year here.

Spellwood is an interesting take on the Scrabble formula, but the core gameplay is not significantly different from that of its source of inspiration.

Echochrome is the epitome of great puzzle design in that a few simple rules are used to create a challenging and rewarding experience.

Anyone willing to put in the time and effort, though, will find Empires: Dawn of the Modern World has it where it counts. The basic gameplay is rock-solid, and fans of multiplayer RTS games will get far more than their money's worth out of it.

It's unique setting and departure from more traditional RPG elements will certainly endear it to many players.

Sims fans should bust out of their homes and bust on down to their favorite store to pick up The Sims Bustin’ Out.
