Fun though that may be, it won't take long until you're craving more, and unless you're a hardcore fan, Battle of Z doesn't have that to offer.

No matter how mediocre The Raven's gameplay might be, it's still got an engaging story with some interesting characters and a wonderful soundtrack. There's definitely a trade-off there, but it's one worth making.

Still, even partial immersion in Eufloria's world is a richer experience than full immersion in other worlds, so for that reason, if you're in the mood for something artsy with a little bit of a challenge thrown in, by all means give it a try.

All in all, this is a step-up from your typical last-gen to next-gen port considering how early we are in the console cycle. Tomb Raider remains an enjoyable experience here, with better visuals and minor enhancements based on hardware accessories.

If you have any affinity for the Final Fantasy brand, you’ll absolutely love Bravely Default.

Definitely worth a purchase even if you have the Vita original, and worth a look even if you’ve never played an Assassin’s Creed game, like me. This is one title that may make you a fan.

Ultimately, though, it all comes back to the gameplay, and on that front, OlliOlli delivers: it's hard, it's addictive, and it's got tonnes of replay value. If you own a PS Vita, it's most definitely a must-own.

On the whole, however, it's hard to get too upset about any of these issues. After all, the flipside of the genre's limitations is that it's awfully hard to make an outright terrible Hidden Object Game, and Twisted Land: Shadow Town is clearly not terrible.

It's essentially the same, full-featured game that console and PC owners have been playing, only with the added bonus of being able to take your terraformed world with you wherever you go, in addition to being able to bring it online.

All in all, I think Dr. Luigi is fun call back to an NES classic, with just enough spin put on the original formula to make it feel fresh again.

Here, there's only one question to be asked: is Furmins a good game? And even if the answer isn't as resounding as it is for some other casual PS Vita games, the answer is still a pretty clear "yes".

Admittedly, I'd never describe myself as an air hockey/darts/pool/billiards aficionado, so the allure of playing those games on the go, whenever I want, is a little lost on me. At the same time, however, there's not a lot to draw non-devotees in to those game, either.

Basically, it all comes down to this: there's no shortage of controller-throwingly difficult platformers on the Vita and the PS3, and a large number of them are better than this one is. Go for one of those ones instead, because this one just isn't worth your time.

The guiding intention behind Runner 2 on consoles generally seemed to be to make players work to finish each level — to make them memorize the layout for each level, and then hit all the buttons in the right order at the right times — and that's survived the game's transition to the PS Vita wholly intact.

We have no idea what happened with The Fighter Within. There was probably a game here at some point, but instead we got a broken, modern day re-imagining of a game from our youth.

Its virtuous moments are too far and few between, and the technical flaws string it up as a marionette imposter of some other more formidable franchise it wishes it could be.

It's obviously not a system-seller or anything, but if you're in the mood for a fun little time-waster, then Sparkle will definitely scratch that particular itch.

Overall, Ryse: Son of Rome is a solid launch title that tells a good story, looks freaking amazing, and plays great.

All in all, this is a fantastic version of the best video pinball game around. It looks absolutely gorgeous on the PS4, and the level of detail stands out to me on the tables played in a new and exciting way.

It just doesn’t scream next-gen to me, despite being a really fun arcade shooter. Still, I did have a lot of fun with it, and I’d at least suggest checking out the demo if you’re interested.

While the overall feel of Max: The Curse of Brotherhood might be a bit uneven, it’s well worth checking out for the moments that work.

On the upside, careful crafting will at least give you a fighting chance, since you're allowed to carry stronger weapons into each new dungeon. Of course, if you die (which you most certainly will) then you lose those weapons, and everything gets pushed back to zero. So it's almost like you're grinding through level after level for no reason at all. Fun!

Overall I really enjoyed stepping back into the world Telltale carved out for the franchise, and I’m looking forward to continuing my journey with Clementine and the new cast. Time will tell how significant the actions from Season 1 will actually be, but right now they feel more like window dressing than anything important.

Toki Tori is a very simple, yet challenging puzzler that can win over even the biggest skeptic. it’s cute visuals may turn off some hardcore players, but it’s core gameplay is really fun.

Overall, the game may be simplistic on the surface, and lack some of the real in depth creating tools that many PC gamers have come to love, but it could also be that the game is also meant to get the controls into the hands of little ones as well.

Which is to say: Stick It To The Man may aim to make you laugh, but it's the gameplay and the graphics that make it worth a purchase.

Rivals does a great job of proving its worth when all the gears are turning, but with the rate its gears fall out of sync, it's tough to call it a solid step forward for NFS.

Maybe consider it if/when the game gets a significant discount, but until that day, pass.
