    The game's strong points--especially its combat--overshadow whatever problems Jedi Outcast may have early on.

    If multiplayer is not a big factor for you, Rogue Spear's single-player game is certainly worth the price of admission. It's long and challenging, and it features a unique style of gameplay that mixes thoughtful planning with tense action.

    The Night of the Rabbit is a beautiful adventure with only a few pacing and puzzle quirks to trip you up along the way.

    Roundabout works well as a short chunk of oddbeat humor and arcade-like gameplay. It's unapologetic in its goofiness, and it tells a fun story on top of its relatively unique gameplay. Sure, you can draw comparisons to the games that inspired it, but when was the last time you played an absurdist 1970s limousine game that was this much fun?

    Ruiner creates a future teeming with interesting concepts, fascinating people and hidden despair. But it is the combat which stands front and centre. Through the endless bodies that fall by your hand, the grim layers of the story peel away to reveal a few surprises about the meaning of life, death and revenge. It is a revealing journey that's well worth taking but it is apparent from the opening scene to the mysterious finale, the only thing that is pure and absolute in the world of Ruiner is murder.

    The Sims 2 loses something in translation from PC to consoles. Namely, its addictive, entertaining gameplay.

    Culdcept Saga is easy for beginners to learn, difficult for experts to master, and fun no matter who you are.

    This enjoyable anime-inspired fighter nails the look and feel of the source material but places too much importance on mediocre minigames.

    Most of what Concrete Genie has to offer is fun and beautiful in a sort of childlike way. The game is not particularly difficult, and overcoming a puzzle or combat scenario isn't always satisfying. But it's ultimately still an endearing experience throughout. There's plenty of enjoyment to be found just from the act of exploring, and little hidden secrets along the way help make it worthwhile; I just wish Concrete Genie had more adventure waiting for me.

    Not a Hero's humor may not always hit the mark, but the action makes up for it.

    When it hits those strides, it's a novel look at what hell might look like for most of us, a vision that turns the concept of eternal damnation into something more palpable and threatening. It fumbles when it reaches outside its comfort zone, and the focus on small moments means it lacks the grandiose ones that make our lives feel more meaningful than they might otherwise be.

    This charming rhythm game is especially good for first-timers, but it's a little light on content.

    It's still somewhat thrilling to inhabit the captain's chair on the bridge of a starship--at the bare minimum, Star Trek: Bridge Crew accomplishes that mission. When the game is at its best, the spirit of cooperation between various asymmetrical elements is encouraging--even special. In every other regard, however, Bridge Crew is forgettable the second you pull out of VR.

    Despite its slow start, Attack on Titan 2 offers exciting gameplay along with a deep and intriguing plot that, melodrama aside, tugs on the heart strings.

    Once you get over the whole rewriting-the-end-of-the-movie thing, Scarface: The World Is Yours is a competent but usually uninteresting action game.

    Top Spin 3 is a great tennis game, offering a deep challenge for diehard fans and one of the closest experiences to playing a grand slam.

    Clever design and a quirky artistic style make this gimmicky puzzle platformer worth playing.

    The frequent and diverse boss encounters distract from the otherwise rote, unimaginative, and oft-repeated mission objectives.

    I'd still crown Super Meat Boy king of this genre, but thanks to inspired mechanics, variety-packed pacing, and satisfyingly steep challenges, Fenix Rage can proudly stand next to its protein-packed inspiration.

    This is a game where you can get lost in the moment very easily.

    Combat is a bit lackluster and more interactive minigames are sorely needed, but those who enjoy zanier, simpler strategy RPGs should appreciate the game's casual tone.

    There's a good game in Quake 4, but it's buried under several layers of highly disappointing graphical performance issues.

    Dead Head Fred has some great ideas that are obscured by a lot of messed up mechanics.

    If you're looking for the next great rally simulator, you won't find it here. But to ignore Dirt Showdown because of its arcade styling would be to deny yourself one of the most satisfying of pleasures: that of mindless, over-the-top, and--above all--deliciously addictive destruction.

    This shallow and repetitive beat-'em-up is fun for a while, but doesn't last much longer than the movie that it's based on.

    This jack-of-all-trades football game is the master of absolutely nothing.

    Striking visuals aren't enough to save this shallow brawler from being monotonous and frustrating.

    Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is a great adventure with a ton of heart.
