It's refreshing to see the game translated into a slightly newer form that's just as fast paced and challenging as the original, if not more so.

The game suffers from some obvious bugs here and there, but the enthralling single-player missions and addictive online multi-player modes offset the problems to an extent. The game absolutely has to be experienced with the USB headset for full effect.

What probably makes this game so interesting as an action game though is the ability to play up to four players cooperatively. Even better is how seamless they make this experience.

While it may not capture the "feel" of surfing quite as well as its closest competitor, it makes up for it with better wave models and the incredible number of actions to perform on each wave.

Overall if you’re looking for more Spider-Man, The Heist is a great beginning to the DLC storyline that will continue over the next two months. It’s critical that you know that you are playing DLC one of three when you play The Heist because it leaves you with a bit of a cliffhanger and it’s not a self contained story, as some might have expected. With the arrival of Red Dead Redemption 2, it’s going to be tough to escape the old west to finish out this story, but Spidey’s latest leaves you wondering where they will go next and what trouble New York is in for.

Easily one of the most graphically intensive Xbox games to date and, unlike earlier titles that garnered this title (I'm looking at you, "Wreckless"), it's actually fun to play.

FIFA 16 might take second place to PES 2016 this season, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great game. EA Sports usually sticks with the “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it,” but with the soccer genre they have some serious competition.

Graphics and gameplay probably don't get much better in a 2D game than they are in Viewtiful Joe2. The faint of heart might long for a few more difficulty options, as the action can get hairy in a hurry. But this is still a fun, challenging game that's extremely easy on the eyes.

The only complaint I have to make about the game is that the difficulty levels are a little imbalanced.

So while the game certainly isn't the perfect MMO, it definitely gets enough elements right that it warrants your attention. Time will tell if it's enough to cause a sizeable dent in the powerhouse that is still World of Warcraft, but I'd say that this feels like the first legitimate contender to Blizzard's throne.

To be sure, as we’ve established, Oceanhorn 2 isn’t very original. But freed of being directly and easily compared to the original by finally arriving on different systems, it’s much easier to appreciate just how strong of an imitation it is.

An accurate, immersive, and extensible simulation of conducting a train that train fans and general sim fans will find simply irresistible-although it might not do much for the gamers not enthused about trains.

Not only can you play for nostalgia bragging rights, but also NMBC offers a cool Co-Op mode where you can share the high score with a friend or loved one.

All the little things that game incorporates into combat, like the drop ship spawning, the customizable load outs, the base control with automated defenses, and the various modules, keep Section 8 from being a bland multiplayer shooter, and help it stand out against the pack of Halo's and Call of Duty's that currently populate the system.

For most people, who just want to beat Trump/Clinton from the comfort of their computer, I imagine that The Political Machine 2016 will do just fine.

There’s a few misses here, but overall I think EA’s done a suitable job with the franchise, and this entry shows continued improvement.

Sure, it's a Cross-Buy title, so it's basically free, but again: it's literally the exact same game, just on a bigger screen (unless, of course, you're playing it remotely on your Vita).

Amusement Park is a great addition to the game, it's priced fairly, and fans will no doubt get a kick out of the new and chaotic environment

Players who haven’t experienced Code: Veronica need to. It’s to die for.

Pretty much a dungeon romp, and while the characters are entertaining, the story is a little light. The graphics and presentation are top notch for a GBA game. All together a great package from Atlus.

The graphics are great, the music is awesome, and the control I surprisingly found, not as annoying as the previous RR titles.

EA's game has grown into the role of the hockey simulation, while NHL 2K has become a better and better version of what hard core hockey fans see as a casual game - lots of scoring. This year is no different, and NHL 2K10 has made some of the most needed improvements while staying consistent to its identity - as a welcoming game that gives us the chance to play like the Ovechkins and Crosbys.

Spheroids is saved by that very first adjective I used to describe it: unassuming. If it were pretentious in any way, I could see how crashes and glitches could make the game unbearable. However, in this case, it kind of adds to the game's low-key charm. That doesn't excuse those issues, of course, and you'll want to temper your expectations if you play it, but all in all, Spheroids is enjoyable enough that it can make you overlook the odd crash here and there.

Maybe I just had lowered expectations because my initial experience was so bad, but it was fun to play a platformer in which constant death wasn’t a given, but rather a side effect of choosing to take the more difficult route. Couple that with a retro vibe that’s spot on, and you can see why Daggerhood is a solid choice for anyone in the mood to play an old-school platformer that doesn’t seem to want to punish you just for playing it.

As a whole, it's a pretty great experience on XBLA, and one that I feel you should certainly check out. Even if you're pretty tired of anything remotely labeled as a Tower Defense game nowadays, as I certainly am, you'll find Anomaly's approach to the genre refreshing.

It’s still a fun game that probably gets overlooked since it wasn’t one of the highlights of its generation, and if you go in expecting an enjoyable (if slightly dated) game, you’ll be pretty happy with it.

While the two maps and the skins are nothing fantastic, the addition of the new mode is certainly welcome.

All in all if you are a fan of the show, past or present, you must pick this one up. You know who you are, especially if you've bought all the DVD's, saw the movie opening weekend, or even did the Simpsonizeme campaign online to make yourself a Simpsons character, this game has you written all over it.
