As Spelunky makes it way to the PC, the rewards and dangers are just as alluring as they were one year ago.

An adept fusion of music and gameplay.

Saints Row IV's crazy missions, fun superpowers, and funny writing make it an enjoyable way to live out your destructive fantasies.

The simulated city of Steelport doesn't offer deep gameplay or the most satisfying challenge, but it is a great place to mess around.

Saints Row IV owes a lot to games like Crackdown and Prototype, but the absurd humor that infuses every aspect of this game gives it an identity all its own.

It's with--and against--others that the game hacks into your pleasure centers, so while Sam Fisher may not be the man you remember, Splinter Cell: Blacklist has too many sweet adventures in store for you to miss them.

Blacklist makes it fun to fly solo, but it's when you join others that the stealth action really heats up.

In the cute and clever Cubetractor, simple mechanics give rise to fiendishly difficult situations.

Papers, Please will stress you out. At times it may even make you hate yourself. And while it's weird to call such an experience "enjoyable," the gameplay itself is not a miserable time. It's worthwhile for the same reasons a depressing novel or a bleak movie can be worthwhile.

A shallow reimagining of the classic adventure that fails to justify its existence in the modern era.

Packs a healthy dose of content in addition to the PC-exclusive modding tools, making it the best version of an excellent game to date.

Don't let the candy colors fool you; Mamorukun Curse is an intense and enjoyable shooter experience.

With so many goals to pursue, Dragon's Crown is much larger than most beat-'em-ups, and more action-packed than most role-playing games. It's both beautiful and captivating in its style and execution, and overall, it's a great hybrid of two very different genres.

An enjoyable role-playing game with the scent of a classic, if not the essence.

There's nothing quite like Pikmin out there, and its delightful combination of survival strategy and unflinching cuteness should entertain you throughout this lengthy adventure.

A wonderfully challenging platformer with exciting level design and great game-changing power-ups.

El Diablo's Domain brings three new costumes and a series of challenges to Guacamelee that will push even expert players to their limits.

Rather than pull you into the supernatural drama it tries to author, Dark devolves into unintentional comedy, the ridiculously bad dialogue and hilarious artificial intelligence inspiring fits of laughter. This game is both insane and inane, but at least its overall stupidity gives you something to cackle at.

El Diablo's Domain brings three new costumes and a series of challenges to Guacamelee that will push even expert players to their limits.

The game's real problem is simply that it's boring.

A pitiful excuse for a cooperative shooter and a prime example of a disappointing movie tie-in.
