Overall, this collection is recommended more for those who missed these games the first time around. Keep in mind, though, that you'll be playing the games more for the story than the gameplay. It's hard to put up with some of the frustrations of the controls and the limitations of the game worlds when things have come so far in the series since these games were first released. If you've played them all before, there's not a compelling reason to return unless you're an Assassin's Creed completist or the series is among your absolute favorites.

A beautifully difficult heavy metal nod to 80s platforming.

Like watching a tie game – fun at times but ultimately unsatisfying

ArmA is probably “too real”, and too frustrating, for most FPS gamers.

Like it's predecessor SingStar '80s, SingStar '90's track list is just too wide-ranging to keep you from burning out on the small handful of songs that you'll enjoy singing.

An average game in an otherwise stellar series.

If you're looking for a family or party trivia game, Scene It? Movie Night will serve that purpose pretty well. And if a steady stream of content in the form of new question packs is made available you'll probably get some good mileage out of the game. For single players, though, you're either on your own trying to beat your previous score or you're out of luck because of the lack of online support.

The lack of emotional weight makes Omega just another pointless series of hallways chockful of mildly challenging cannon fodder.

While the game can be fun in short stretches and Bunnylord is deserving of further video game appearances, overall the game delivers more frustration than frills.

You'll need to find creative ways to ways to solve the game's puzzles while it finds creative ways to frustrate you.

Challenging enemy AI and a bag of cyber tricks aren't enough to make up for weak atmosphere and story.

If you live in a place where it is impossible to get either the EA or Sega football games, then you might want to check out GameBreaker. Then again, I would make a road trip instead.

While it's an enjoyable enough experience this game just cannot shake the 'been there, done that' vibe it gives off.

Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge is enjoyable enough but doesn't justify its higher price.

Close to the Sun is decent, but I can't help but feel that the game could been so much more. The overall atmosphere and especially the sound is fantastic! If you're looking for a game with a decent engaging story, you might like this one, but don't play it expecting the next Outlast or Bioshock.

While it is a solid puzzle game it doesn't really do anything to excel or stand out in a cluttered genre.

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 competent, workmanlike game that never surprises you. If you're looking for a new computer-based card game, this could be it, especially if you don't want to cough up the money for something like Eye of Judgment.

It won't make anyone want to quit World of Warcraft, but it can be enjoyable enough if you'd like to try out a pirate's life for free.

The Medium is a decent psychological horror from the start, but it’s rather hollow when it comes to gameplay.

A solid tactical simulation of armored warfare 1975-1985 whose real value is in the multiplayer mode.

A few tweaks short of the mark.

Defender can be a fun game ... while it lasts.

The sequel to Obscure comes at us with some plausible scary environments and atmosphere but it is really not that much better than the first game.

If you're in the search for a good psychological story then Narcosis might be a good pickup for you, but the gameplay in between is rather boring.

B movie humor can't entirely save B level gameplay.

On the one hand, you essentially get three times as many puzzles as the game has levels. On the other, you’ll be spending a chunk of time with each level, which really breaks-up the narrative flow of the story. I think it might have been better to limit the puzzles to single goals, perhaps with some optional bonuses, and keep the game flowing. As things are, though, you’ll need to ask yourself if you’ll enjoy spending the extra time with each level. If you’re intrigued by the idea of cracking each puzzle three times with different goals, you’ll probably enjoy Howl. However, if the thought of spending so much time with each level sounds like a grind to you, or you’d prefer to have the freedom to experiment with different tactics, you’ll probably find the game to be frustrating. As such I can’t recommend the game to everyone, just those in the former group.

Sword Art Online finally comes to consoles and it brings along everything that was on the portable versions of the game and plenty of extras.
