The "extreme" scenarios help make the game more exciting, rather than just sailing from point A to point B, though newcomers will have some trouble knowing how to operate everything, since a tutorial is nowhere to be found.

Playing Worms Reloaded made me feel like I just opened a time capsule from 10 years ago. It shows that even such a simple game of worm warfare, can stand the test of time, and still be as entertaining as it once was.

Ivy the Kiwi? may be simple in its design, but it's an engrossing title.

When not crashing, stuttering, or burdening you with menus, Elemental threatens to be interesting.

Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar is a fantastic farming RPG that will please fans of the series. Spending countless hours performing mundane, repetitious, farming chores may not sound like much of a gaming experience, but if you have the time and patience this is one hell of an addicting, engrossing title.

Mafia II hits a few snags, be it due to an overly linear campaign, a seemingly empty world, or a handful of technical issues. However, what it lacks in those areas, it almost makes up for in character and a great story that you'll want to see through to the end.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is nothing short of a triumph for Crystal Dynamics and the buxom adventurer. The score-based gameplay and objectives are geared towards providing hefty doses of replay value, but even a single playthrough promises to be an exciting journey filled with top-notch action and ingenious puzzles.

While not perfect, Zone 4: Fight District manages to stay mildly entertaining. If you're looking to relieve your stress by button-mashing someone's face in, then perhaps Zone 4 is right up your alley. However, its somewhat laggy input response, and non-engaging combat, damper the overall experience.

If you can overcome the bareness of the enemy AI, not to mention unnecessary buttocks covered with blood, and brevity of the storyline, there's fun to be had. It has to be noted though, the entertainment only lasts if you have a friend to play and share the madness with.

This is an overpriced, underwhelming, uninspired, and unceremoniously average flight combat game that does nothing special with its license or its gameplay.

Ys SEVEN's simple nature, light (and clichéd) story elements, and uber-traditional feel makes for a title that won't be the one to catapult the series into RPG stardom. However, if you're already a fan of the franchise, then Ys SEVEN shouldn't disappoint.

Space Trek is the kind of game you hope turns out well, but doesn't surprise you when you discover just how bland it is.

Victoria newbies will definitely look upon the game with confused glares at first, and even after going through the extensive tutorial, might find themselves scratching their heads with confusion more often than not.

Burn Zombie Burn is a fun little zombie-shooter with appealing game modes and plenty of action. Unfortunately, the complete lack of multiplayer is a missed opportunity indeed.

As enjoyable as Monday Night Combat was, if I was to remove the factor that I was often playing with friends and/or colleagues, I'm sure that enjoyment would've plummeted. The single-player is, as expected, a throwaway and easy for achievements.

The entire game can be completed in under an hour with an organized team, although a Hard difficulty will test the skills of the most devoted fans. Beyond that, there is nothing to keep players' interests past an initial run.

An experience that never stops giving, even after hours of play. Hydro Thunder Hurricane is the must-have arcade racer of 2010.

By building off the foundations and bolstering the series with memorable missions, an incredible story, and awe-inspiring visuals, Blizzard has assured StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty's status as one of the best RTS games ever created.

Need for Speed World is the classic franchise at heart. A fairly big open world to drive around in, many races to participate and dominate, and spot on racing with impressive graphics make this free MMO definitely one to look into. Keep in mind that the word "free" has a huge asterisk next to it.

Anyone with half-an-ounce of skill will be able to plow through the opposition with ease, and the game is packed with useless filler as it is. Clash of the Titans isn't broken, nor completely incompetent, but it sure is boring.

Like a starving man at a buffet, Arc Rise Fantasia has a little of everything on its plate, but few of the portions ever complement the other.

Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena is an enjoyable casual game. It's the type of game you pick up and play for a little while, only to notice a couple of hours went by. Not only is it a fun time waster, but it allows for multiple playthroughs thanks to its varied item lists. Casual fans take notice.

This expansion doesn't offer anything particularly game-changing, instead giving you more of what you would want as a fan of the game, namely a new campaign map, new units, and a host of new missions. The limited scope of the storyline does provide some focus and solid pacing, but comes at a price of some of the base game's non-military features.

But in the end, there's something peculiar and odd about Limbo that keeps the attention of the player far longer than it should have. As I said, credit goes to PlayDead Studios – they've created a game that is fantastically weird and pleasant all in its own right.

I love the purity of simply shooting and dodging, and the excitement of beating a level and seeing what's next. The bad hit-mechanics and bland enemies ensure that you'll find neither of these elements at play in Razor 2: Hidden Skies.

Developer Gamelion has crafted something special here, combining fun platforming with physics-based mechanics and a good sense of humor that touches on modern internet culture and pure randomness. It's a shame there's not more content in this package.

The gory limb removals and impalements-via-javelin are cheap fun that will treat anyone with the patience to tangle with some sluggish controls and simple combo moves.

Purists might find the changes too extreme, and might be put off by new-found similarities to the Heroes series, or rather, outright copying. If nothing else, at least Disciples III: Renaissance puts a visual twist on a classic formula.
