    Revenge of the Savage Planet
    These misgivings aside, Revenge of the Savage Planet offers up a carefree adventure that's a rollicking good time either solo or with a friend--whether online or in split-screen. It's a more confident and varied sequel, with a shift in perspective that maximizes its slapstick comedy and platforming chops. Combat is a letdown, but everything around it is a joy, from finding creative ways to use its gadgets and solve puzzles to simply exploring every nook and cranny of its diverse and bountiful planets. Revenge of the Savage Planet may have been born from less-than-ideal circumstances, but it's evident from playing it just how much Raccoon Logic is reveling in it existing at all.

    Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Part 1
    Even though it gives you a chance to revisit one of the best RPGs in years, The White March Part 1 ultimately feels like a missed opportunity to expand that greatness into new territory.

    EA Sports UFC 2
    Some issues drag everything down, particularly the lack of intuitive feedback, and the barebones tutorials, and a dry career mode, but EA Sports UFC 2 is a welcome improvement on its predecessor that shows this series is going in the right direction. It’s just not a number one contender quite yet.

    MVP 06 NCAA Baseball
    Its overly plain presentation will probably turn off the casual set, but MVP 06 NCAA Baseball's top-notch gameplay is exactly what baseball purists are looking for.

    ATV Offroad Fury Pro
    You'll be hard-pressed to find more bang for your buck than this packed PSP off-road racing game.

    Brave Story: New Traveler
    Brave Story follows the traditional role-playing-game formula to the letter and ultimately turns in a serviceable, though unremarkable experience.

    Fallout 3: The Pitt
    Grim cityscapes and an intriguing moral dilemma help this Fallout 3 addition overcome its quirks.

    Neo Cab
    Neo Cab might suffer from inconsistencies and presentation issues in some places, but as a depiction of a near-future society corrupted by tech fetishization, and an exploration of how humans are adapting to automation and the rise of the gig economy, it's got plenty to say about how important it is that we all look out for one another. This is a forward-thinking game, but the issues it explores are extremely relevant in 2019, which makes for an engaging, stimulating narrative experience, even if the central mystery of your friend's disappearance is not particularly interesting.

    Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
    Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational proves that more of the same can still be really fun.

    The Sims 3
    The console version of the PC megahit lacks fluidity, though it's still fun in its own right.

    Bit.Trip Runner
    Simplicity, complexity, and difficulty work in harmony in this marvelously scored entry in the Bit.Trip series.

    Ultimate Block Party
    Ultimate Block Party is easy to pick up and play, and once you do, the quick, chaotic puzzle battles will have you hooked.

    NHL 07
    Clunky settings options, graphical hang-ups, and occasional artificial intelligence fouls bring the game down a peg or two, but mostly this is good hockey that handles the portable translation well.

    Heaven's Vault
    Heaven's Vault excels in creating a well-constructed, branching narrative, but expect long sections of it to feel like a slog.

    Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
    This game is clearly aimed at hooking existing fans of the developing Kingdom Hearts series, and those fans will get the most value out of Chain of Memories.

    R.U.S.E.
    This intriguing real-time strategy game overcomes its feeble campaign by encouraging a different approach to battlefield tactics.

    Star Wars Outlaws
    There are so many little moments in Outlaws that I love. However, the unexciting space combat and unrewarding syndicate-relationship tracker don't add anything meaningful to the experience. And neither does Kay, who feels like a protagonist without a meaty narrative arc. The game has some successes when it comes to gunslinging or sneaking--both of which are aided by a superb soundtrack and incredible sound design--but Outlaws does too much of what it does poorly, and too little of what it does well.

    Burn Zombie Burn
    It's short on variety, but an innovative risk-vs.-reward scoring system makes Burn Zombie Burn an intriguing entry in the top-down shooter genre.

    Flashpoint Germany
    Flashpoint Germany updates the gameplay to modern-day standards, and the result is an excellent introductory wargame full of taut and exciting moments.

    NBA Live 06
    The Live series in its current state is more akin to an aged veteran who's hung on too long (for instance, Patrick Ewing with the Supersonics in 2000), as opposed to a longtime superstar who's at the height of his game.

    Ghostrunner
    When Ghostrunner rips, it really rips. Wall-running, jumping, sliding, and cutting through enemies as you go is empowering and impressive. For a good portion of the game, you'll only experience how impressive it feels to dart around a room in short bursts, but even that's enough motivation to keep you pushing forward to master the art of robot ninja parkour. There's bound to be a lot of frustration along the way, so it isn't all smiles, exactly, but the rush you feel in the moment as you perfectly run a room is worth the grit.

    Disney/Pixar Toy Story 3
    This fun take on the Pixar movie has lots of entertaining content for younger players, but control issues and a lack of depth limit its appeal.

    Blood Bowl 2
    For a French recreation of a British board game pastiching an American hobby, Blood Bowl 2 is remarkably coherent.

    Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure
    Rhythm Thief & The Emperor's Treasure is an enchanting rhythm adventure that really brings the funk.

    Project: Snowblind
    It's not the prettiest shooter on the PC, but it's got a good amount of style, and the run-and-gun action stands up pretty well, regardless of the platform.

    EverQuest II: Kingdom of Sky
    Kingdom of Sky is best-suited to existing EverQuest II fans, but those fans will find new adventure, advancement, and PVP combat in this expansion.

    The Ship
    This wildly different take on "Quake," "The Sims," and "Clue" is off the wall and innovative.

    7th Dragon III Code: VFD
    Even with a couple of quibbles, it’s hard to deny the quality of 7th Dragon III taken as a whole. It’s challenging without being frustrating, unique in both its visual and character class design, and remains an engaging romp from chapter one to the finale.

    Taiko no Tatsujin Pop Tap Beat
    Taiko no Tatsujin Pop Tap Beat is a solid offering for Apple Arcade, though you won't be playing it for a terribly long time. Tapping to the beat of the 30+ songs on the playlist is fun, the colorful whimsy of dancing animals that plays out on-screen during a song is delightful, but there's only so much a playlist that small can do, and so you may find yourself lacking a reason to stick around. It's fun while it lasts, but Taiko no Tatsujin Pop Tap Beat only marches to the beat of its own drum for so long.

    LawBreakers
    What counts is that its fresh anti-gravity mechanics transcends its first-glance novel appeal and creates limitless combat situations that will be new and inviting to many shooter fans.
