    Torchlight II
    It provides me with more loot whoring action than I can shake a stick at, and doles out a much bigger, more refined experience than the original managed to do. The inclusion of online co-op and offline co-op via LAN is certainly fantastic, but the game is still a blast even if you opt to play through it solo. It'll continue to provide me with hours upon hours of fun, and I look forward to exploring the game more fully in coming months. Definitely pick this one up if you haven't already, it really shouldn't be missed.

    LittleBigPlanet PS Vita
    If you have a PlayStation Vita, and whether or not it's gathering dust right now, you owe yourself a copy of LittleBigPlanet PS Vita. It's not only a great LittleBigPlanet game and a great Vita game, it's a great game, period.

    Guild Wars 2
    With a very unique take on the MMO genre, Guild Wars 2 is a great entry into the series.

    Joe Danger 2: The Movie
    It is easily one of the best downloadable games to come out this year, and more than worth the price of admission.

    NHL 13
    NHL 13 is a solid effort and should not be missed by fans of NHL Hockey.

    Rock Band Blitz
    In short, Rock Band Blitz is a musical bargain.

    Tekken Tag Tournament 2
    Overall I feel like Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a fairly accessible experience for new players, or those that haven't picked up a Tekken game in years.

    Jet Set Radio
    Overall, it's a pretty solid port of a fun but flawed game. JSR certainly paved a path for future games with its super-unique art style and soundtrack, but it's hard to say that the controls and physics found within stand the test of time as well as the rest of the package. I definitely think its worth checking out if you have any love for the game from your youth, but if you've never experience the series before I'd hold off until a demo becomes available.

    Double Dragon: Neon
    Regardless of these issues, I still think Double Dragon Neon is worth checking out. It's a pretty faithful follow-up to a series that hasn't seen much love as of late, and manages to evoke the style and gameplay of the arcade classic without feeling too out of touch with modern audiences. I find myself having a fair amount of fun with it, and I think you will too. Also, it's kind of hard to say no to a free download if you're a Playstation Plus subscriber.

    Mark of the Ninja
    Overall, Mark of the Ninja is a must have title for Xbox 360 owners, and something that any fan of the XBLA service should certainly be checking out. It's honestly a shame that this game wasn't a part of this year's Summer of Arcade promotion for Microsoft, because it's certainly better than just about every title promoted this time around.

    The Expendables 2 Videogame
    You know what would have would have made this game so much better, other than more development time? If they'd waited until the Blu-ray/DVD/digital version was released and then gave you a digital copy of the movie when you bought the game.

    Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior's Rise
    It's not entirely flawless, packing a bit of aggravation in with its stiff difficulty, and the lack of online play is sort of disappointing, but for $10 I definitely think it's worth picking up.

    Summer Stars 2012
    In the end, for a mere $20 you can't go wrong with a game that has all the excitement of the Olympics, even if it doesn't have all the names and places accurate due to licensing agreements. Summer Stars 2012 plays great with friends or even alone in the massive career mode and will surely deliver more than your money's worth of enjoyment.

    Sound Shapes
    Overall, I found Sound Shapes to be an absolute joy to play, with little to no complaints about the actual game itself. Outside of some clunky feeling mechanics on the level editing side via the Vita touch screen, this marks my favorite platforming experience since Rayman Origins.

    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Ver.
    Overall, for the asking price, I'd hesitate to say this is worth picking up unless you already know what you're getting into, and have a fondness for the original release. As a new experience, I don't think there's a whole lot here to appreciate without some type of nostalgia for the original release. With a bit more content, and a better online experience, maybe you would have had something here, but JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD feels a bit like a lazy port outside of the decent HD re-skin.

    The Walking Dead: Episode 3 - Long Road Ahead
    If you've been on board with the game up to this point, Episode 3 will fail to disappoint. It's another excellent entry in what is easily shaping up to be Telltale's best work yet, and there's no reason to stop playing the series now.

    Way of the Samurai 4
    But if you find yourself hungering for a new experience, I think Way of the Samurai 4 can certainly fill a bit of that need. Just be prepared for a little lack of refinement along the way.

    Rainbow Moon
    Overall Rainbow Moon seems to fall flat on the fun scale. The fights are rather boring once a player understands the enemy AI and the controls. Overall, it's a SRPG that leaves much to be desired. Did we find gold at the end of this Rainbow? Unfortunately not.

    Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
    Fall of Cybertron feels like an actual love letter to the series, and puts the right amount of emphasis on individual characters and their traits and mixes that with levels that make use of those particular skills and abilities. It's just a real joy to play, and I'm glad to have in my hands an actual, fun Transformers experience in video game form.

    Madden NFL 13
    If one thing can be said about what EA has accomplished this year it is that they have taken their efforts seriously and have delivered the most realistic playing version of the pigskin classic that gamers have ever witnessed.

    Retro/Grade
    Overall, Retro/Grade is a wholly unique experience in both genres that it represents, and is well worth your time. If you have any interest in rhythm games or shoot 'em ups, you should do yourself a favor and check this out.

    Dust: An Elysian Tail
    It's a great, 2D experience that harkens back to the popular Metroidvania sub-genre of adventures games, but manages to blaze its own path and stand out as a wholly unique experience. There's certainly little like it on XBLA, and I highly suggest picking it up.
    • 72 Metascore

    Papo & Yo
    And while polishing the game up a bit more would do little to impact the replay value, it would certainly have provided a more lasting memory than what Papo & Yo currently delivers, which is a shame because otherwise it's a game that is definitely worth experiencing.

    New Super Mario Bros. 2
    If you go into this expecting a light hearted, breezy romp through the Mushroom Kingdom, you'll definitely have some fun with it. But the more hardcore player out there might find themselves a bit put-off by the overall ease and lack of challenge, so here's to hoping that New Super Mario Bros. Wii U can strike a better balance between fun and difficulty than NSMB 2 managed to do.

    Darksiders II
    There's little to complain about with Darksiders II, in fact, I pretty much love everything about this game. I won't be surprised to see it end up on quite a few Game of the Year lists at the tail end of the year, which I'm sure you'll come to understand once you lay your hands on it.

    Sleeping Dogs
    Overall, I feel like Sleeping Dogs is the start to something that has the potential to get even better down the road. I really love the setting, characters, and hand to hand combat of the game, but the remainder feels a little recycled in comparison to other open-world games we've played so far this generation.

    Hybrid
    But still, it's definitely worth checking out. Hopefully the server and connection issues can get ironed out over the next couple weeks, because this is a multiplayer experience that I'd like to see continue on for a while, and can see myself jumping back into whenever I have some free time. Despite some of those issues, I definitely think it's worth the asking price, and think you'll find that it is too.

    Risen 2: Dark Waters
    So yeah, Risen 2 is a pretty flawed experience, and again isn't going to be for everyone.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Wreckateer
    It definitely feels like it works, but I'll freely admit that I wish the game had some type of optional controller support like Child of Eden. Still, as a Kinect only experience, it's worth checking out for owners of the hardware that are probably finding little reason to keep it plugged in at the moment, and I think you'll definitely get some enjoyment out of it.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Dyad
    If you allow yourself to get absorbed into what Dyad is offering though, I think you'll admit that there's a lot more to Dyad than what a simple text description can relate. And for me that's the sign of something truly great, regardless of the type of media it's presented in.
