Minor gripe aside, I expect Headlander to reach that cult classic status like many of Double Fine’s prior titles and it’s well deserved. This is a must own for fans of the genre.

This is one of the few must buys for the year for anyone who owns a Kinect, and it is truly the first game to make me care about the technology.

Overall though, these complaints are relatively minor. I certainly enjoyed the core experience of playing I Am Setsuna, and think that the developers at Tokyo RPG Factory did a pretty solid job of emulating the classic Square RPG archetype.

In other words, MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies ultimately works because, like the other Hyperdimension Neptunia spin-offs, it takes the series' formula and applies it to something new.

Under Night IN-Birth Exe:Late may have a confusing name, but it is an awesome fighter that deserves your time.

In other words, Type:Rider undoubtedly has the noblest of intentions, but as a platformer, it sucks. You're much better off staring at some of its screenshots for the 90 minutes or so it would take you to beat the game, because seeing something that looks so wonderful fall apart so badly is just infuriating.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Inside excels in pretty much every way imaginable.

As you can imagine, this gets pretty infuriating pretty quickly. One of the trademarks of any good horror narrative is that the antagonists always play by certain rules; when they don't — as is the case here — it becomes an exercise in randomness. While that may be truer-to-life, as Knock-Knock shows, it makes for a much less satisfying gaming experience.

Carmageddon: Max Damage is another in an increasingly long list of games and products that sound amazing, get crowdfunded and then fail to impress or deliver on their promised grandeur.

Ghostbusters is one of those games that is completely forgettable.

Nonetheless, the art is impressive enough that even a somewhat pale reflection of greatness is still worth seeing. Combine that with an average fighting game and…well, to be honest, I'm not sure if it's enough to make Skullgirls worth a recommendation, unless you're either really into fighting games, or really into seeing an aesthetic that doesn't get nearly enough representation in games.

For $20, this release is a great value, giving fans that missed out a chance to play on current consoles. I look forward to Resident Evil 4 despite this being the 20th or so re-release. The real wait is for the Resident Evil 2 Remaster.

If you’re at all a fan of CCG or TCG games, whether digital or real, I’d urge you to check out Duelyst. You won’t be disappointed.

This is the absolute bottom of the barrel, a completely unenjoyable, unplayable mess from start to finish that's a strong contender for the title of worst game ever made.

I’m absolutely in love with Monster Hunter Generations. While I don’t think it’s a huge visual step-up from Monster Hunter 4, it’s still a great looking game made even better on the New 3DS. But more importantly, the gameplay is rock solid, and the new additions are positive changes that help to enhance the classic Monster Hunter experience, and ideally can be useful when it comes to bringing in new players.

As I said up front, it's not as bad as The Park or Murasaki Mist — or my all-time worst game ever, Basement Crawl — but your mileage may vary. It's certainly in that conversation, which should tell you all you could possibly need to know.

If you're a fan of the Metroidvania genre, Song of the Deep isn’t a bad pick up, but it might be worth waiting to see how good Head Lander is if you only have money for one side scroller this month.

Ignore Monochroma's provenance and forget about its place in a broader context, and just focus on what's here — and on that count, it delivers.

If you like LEGO games, you’ll love it. If you like Star Wars. you’ll love it too. If you like LEGO and Star Wars, you might be blown away (like Greedo).

All in all, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven is a unique fighter, but many players might have a hard time getting into everything to enjoy it. It does have a few minor problems that may alienate some players, while serious fans of the series will jump right in and love every second.

There are much better experiences out there for much less money, and you shouldn't waste your time with lacklustre games like this.

Overall, I think you’ll find Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness to be a serviceable RPG in a time when serviceable doesn’t quite make the grade.

Good Lord, so far I think this was my Tony Hawk of 2016 despite me being slightly more generous.

When a game and a system go as well together as do Civilization Revolution 2 Plus and the Vita, I'm willing to make one or two trade-offs in exchange for a near-perfect whole.

The Park is a lousy game that doesn't have any redeeming qualities, but it still isn't terrible enough that it at least has a "so bad it's good" trainwreck quality. No, The Park is just so bad that it's bad, and there's no reason for anyone, ever, to pick it up.

So let's be real: if you want a bowling game, Crazy Strike Bowling EX is one. If you've been desperate for an excuse to bust out those Move controllers, Crazy Strike Bowling EX gives you that. If you don't fit into either of those two categories, there's literally no reason whatsoever why you should be interested in this game.

If we were grading games solely on their intentions or their aesthetics, I have no doubt that Neverending Nightmare would score extraordinarily highly. The former, after all, is quite admirable, while the latter is executed quite well. But unfortunately, that execution doesn't extend to the gameplay, which means you're left with a creepy-looking painting that doesn't do a very good job of drawing you in.

Overall Deadlight: Director’s Cut is a fun, short game, that has a bunch of flaws but is still very playable.
