    Shu
    Shu is a very pleasant-looking — some might even say "cute" — game. The characters are delightful, from the adorable main character to all his little friends; even the villains and dangers are liable to make you say, "Awww." Likewise, the music strikes a good balance between being frenetic enough to get you to keep going, while at the same time not being so obtrusive that it harshes the overall friendly vibe. But it's more than just aesthetics. The controls feel fairly tight, which is important considering there's the odd part where you need to move with a bit of urgency. Shu's world is also designed pretty nicely — the levels are fairly lengthy, and they're all full of secrets and treasures just waiting to be uncovered. A well-made platformer that's sure to please people who like those things, and it's pretty darn cute, to boot.

    Rayman Legends
    If you don't mind Murphy's slightly handicapped functionality on ports of Rayman Legends, then the only deciding factors are what bonus costumes you care about, and whether you do or don't have a PS4.

    Madden NFL 2001
    To be blunt, I haven't been this addicted to one single game in a long time.

    Classic NES Series: The Legend of Zelda
    The game holds its own despite dated graphics and sound.

    DiRT 2
    Without a shadow of a doubt this is the most addicting off road game to date, it's gorgeous in every aspect, provides hours of game play in single player mode, and even more in multiplayer events, handles wonderfully, and even has adjustable A.I. for various skill level gamers.

    Transformers: Devastation
    Platinum never ceases to amaze me, and thankfully Transformers: Devastation continues to prove why Platinum Games is the best action genre developer in the business today.

    Jade Empire
    When you boot up Jade Empire, you'll be on your way to an engaging story, a challenging, rewarding combat experience and an impressive measure of character building.

    Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
    This game kicks ass, and remains one of the best games of all time. Now it’s even prettier.

    Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle
    It’s a solid collection of classic games that are pretty well represented here.

    Diablo II
    The music is just plain amazing and it is perfect for the game.

    ZEN Pinball 2: Balls of Glory
    Zen Studios continues to knock out new properties while keeping up the high level of quality that we all expect from their tables. With the exception of my annoyances with the Archer table, playing some of my favorite shows in pinball form was great fun.

    NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup
    This game is a big step up in visuals compared to the Thunder series of old, which gives even more hope for future titles to come.

    Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
    It's a great call back to classic SEGA characters and franchises, and provides a heavy emphasis on fan service while maintaining a level of quality not often seen in kart racers outside of the Nintendo developed ones. It seriously feels like a love letter to long-time SEGA fans, and is certainly worth picking up.

    The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
    One aspect that has been improved upon greatly in Wind Waker is its story.

    BioShock 2
    The fantastic setting and light RPG elements really pull you in, and the customizations, challenging game play and new online multiplayer modes will keep you coming back for more. It's definitely worth it to book a trip back to Rapture.

    Everyday Shooter
    It's not every day that we'll get another shooter like this, but it's a good one for every day we don't.

    Gears of War
    But every once in a while you have a game so mindblowingly good-looking that the gameplay, good, bad, or somewhere in between, just doesn't matter. Say "Hi" to Gears of War.

    Rare Replay
    Outside the large amount of space needed to install Rare Replay, the end result of this collection was remarkable and I hope other developers consider putting in the same care that Rare did.

    Vandals
    Vandals isn’t without its flaws. In particular, the controls can be a little iffy, and you’ll occasionally find yourself forced to shove the right thumbstick a couple of times before your character finally moves where you want them to go. Also, with just five cities, none of which will take you too long to finish and, three stars notwithstanding, none of which have much in the way of replay value, you may find that the game is over far too soon. But better to leave you wanting more than to wear out its welcome, right? Besides, Vandals can be had for well under $5 — which, all things considered, put it squarely in “easy-to-recommend impulse buy” territory.

    Valkyria Chronicles
    In terms of a great bargain it’s hard to get better than a game like Valkyria Chronicles and the quality of this port on the Switch means it’s a must-buy for anyone curious about the series or considering adding it to their Switch library. And the only thing that makes an SRPG better is the portability of having it around to make dull moments like bus rides and family events breeze on by.

    Maximo vs Army of Zin
    The game may feel a bit too much like the last. But the fights are fair, the combat is fun, and the classic platform gameplay is executed to a sharp perfection.

    MLB Slugfest 20-03
    Midway has come out of nowhere to create the most entertaining arcade baseball game in years.

    Fable III
    While Fable II seemed to regard the story as secondary to the newest toys thrown into the mix: making money and babies, Fable III draws our attention back to character building and history making.

    Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
    Rockstar has cut no corners in crafting the game for the PSP and it shows. This is the real deal... A few control issues hold it back from getting a perfect score, but we'll save that for "Vice City Stories" (we hope).

    Descent 3
    This has to be one of the most beautiful titles I have ever played on my computer. It looks as if Outrage has thrown in every visual effect in the book, and in doing so, removed the monotony of the previous Descent level designs.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005
    Even though the overall look and presentation has not received a glowing amount of attention, it is what EA has done as far as tweaking the controls, A.I. and adding a monster amount of modes and options that will keep fans of the links playing for another year to come.

    The Gunstringer
    I pretty much love The Gunstringer, and it is easily my favorite thing Twisted Pixel has put out so far.

    Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix
    Sure it still has the same issues of the console counterpart, but there's something different and refreshing about having a near perfect conversion on the go.

    Wipeout 2048
    I definitely think Wipeout 2048 is worth checking out, and from what I've seen it seems to be the racing game to beat amongst the Vita launch titles. I've heard and seen dubious things from both Modnation Racers and Asphalt (and Ridge Racer is MIA at the moment), so if you need to get your racing fix this seems like the way to go. It's a legitimately great experience on the new handheld, and looks absolutely fabulous on the OLED screen. I highly recommend picking it up.

    BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition
    In fact, if anything this new version may be even better than the original — which means that, come end of year, that "Game of the Year" may prove to be just as predictive as it is descriptive.
