If you like your RPGs heavy on the action, Dark Alliance provides some great monster-kicking gameplay.

The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors is a solid enhancement to its original arcade counterpart and SNES port.

The Evil Within is easily the best survival horror game I have played in a long time.

Roaming free is just not exciting as it should be as there is not really anything to do outside of beating on the poor townsfolk.

The Genesis generation will appreciate this nostalgia trip, but that trip may result in a few favorite memories losing some of their luster.

X-Men fans rejoice! There’s finally a game worthy of your devotion.

Combine the impatience of others and the almost endless random item grind and I do not see a casual audience getting swept away in the Warhammer hype by this game. Even Warhammer fans should make note that just because you may know the lore of the series it won't grant you a wonderful team experience ... but it may grant you some street cred to get you by.

LEGO Batman 2 certainly delivers plenty of gameplay for your money.

So here's the deal: If you like sims and have the patience to let things run on their own for stretches of time, you'll probably enjoy Tropico. If you're a Tropico fan from the old days, expect more of the same except with prettier graphics and make your decision based on that. If you're the type of sim player that enjoys building large SimCity style metropolises, Tropico probably isn't for you as you won't be building any San Juans in the game. Lastly, for everyone else, the slow pace of the game and the time it takes to get a working economy will probably try your patience too much.

Anime fans who enjoy slower paced tactical games will love what’s got to be the cutest strategy RPG this side of Teddy Bear Junction.

Overall, Quarrel is an enjoyable game that word puzzle fans will really appreciate since such games are a rarity on XBLA. Add an extra layer of strategy from the Risk aspect of the game, and you have a great little game to play when you want to give your brain more of a workout than your reflexes.

As this is a classic adventure game, the story is a big part of the experience. As such, the pace will probably feel somewhat slow to those who've never played this type of game before. I wouldn't put the story on par with that of the original Monkey Island, but it's certainly better than average.

A supercharged expansion for sims seeking the spotlight. You've really got to want it though, as achieving superstar status takes quite a bit of work.

Strictly for the anime, console-style RPG crowd, but if you’re in that group you may find yourself having a good time.

The Puzzle Fighter mechanics work great, the cast of characters is awesome (even if I didn't know some of them) and there are plenty of modes and options to keep the game going. The infrequency of spark crystals hurts the fun as much as the burst moves help it, and in the end you have a pretty damn decent puzzler in Crystal Crisis.

Dicefolk is really all about the battles. If you’re looking for a full RPG experience, you’ll probably be disappointed. There’s not much to the story and very little world-building. However, strategy gamers are in for a treat. The unique battle mechanics provide for plenty of tactical depth, and there’s enough of a random element to keep you on your toes and make the battles more than just puzzles to be solved. The rogue-like elements and the randomness between runs work to keep things fresh. If you enjoy tactical games, but are a little burned-out on the turn-based RPG battle format, take Dicefolk out for a roll.

The game's story was captivating enough to keep me playing in spite of the lack of any real gameplay challenge.

A dream come true for Street Fighter Alpha fans.

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!

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.

Midnight Club: LA Remix is geared more towards tuners than casual gamers.

If you don’t mind the fact that the game costs more than a book of crossword puzzles that you can pick up at a newsstand, you’ll find yourself enjoying this electronic version of the New York Times’ signature puzzle.

In spite of these shortcomings, I did have some fun with the game. It would have been a lot more fun, though, if there was more variety to the missions and there wasn’t so much frustration tied to them.

For players who appreciate atmosphere, exploration, and methodical pacing over constant action, Routine offers something distinct. It’s not a game that rushes you. It asks you to slow down, pay attention, and absorb its world.

Its simple qualities make it easy to pick up and play, but also hurt its long term charm. It won't appeal to all gamers, especially those who prefer action games., but many will find it a fun diversion when gaming on the go.

A unique multiplayer experience in spite of its flaws.

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

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.
