In other words, it's not something that's going to blow you away or change how you look at tower defense games. Medieval Defenders is just a solidly-made game that does what it has to — no more, no less. But considering how lacklustre the genre has been so far on the Vita, sometimes solidly-made goes a very long way.

It stays true to its original self, and even if the end results of that are a little spotty, it's still a solid enough game for anyone in the mood for an old-school platformer.

Ori and the Blind Forest is still enjoyable, obviously…it's just that those strengths are so strong that it's hard to imagine what would've been needed for that one ever-so-slightly-weaker element to match up with them. Nonetheless, it's still one heck of an accomplishment, and it's well worth your investment.

No doubt, future updates and optimizations will be patched in, but for what we've got right out of the gate, there's a lot going on for the PC crowd this time around.

Is Stealth Inc. 2 worth picking up if you've already played the heck out of the original release last year on the Wii U? Possibly not, unless trophies or Xbox Achievements are your thing. If you don't have a Wii U, though, you owe it to yourself to pick it up ASAP — it's seriously that great.

It’s a unique, fun, and wildly imaginative take on the roguelike formula that stands out, despite being in the company of other A-class titles within the genre.

The reward for spending more time with Krinkle Krueger, after all, is…well, spending more time with Krinkle Krueger. And unless you've got a thing for games that actively try to annoy you, I don't get why that would be very appealing to anyone.

Titan Souls is a tough game, but it's also one that's both simple and fun.

It's more fun if you don't, though. Doodle Kingdom may be frustrating if you only rely on guesswork, but it also feels really rewarding when you go on a hot streak of creating new elements. It's certainly not the best puzzle game on the Vita or anything, but if you're in the mood for it, it does the job in a pinch.

What's much easier to rationalize, however, is this: Toukiden: Kiwami is unquestionably the best monster-hunting game the Vita has to offer.

From any objective perspective, it's probably not worth your time, so unless you happen to be me, stay far, far away.

Is it a deep, engaging experience? No, of course not. But on the flip side, Damascus Gear: Operation Tokyo features giant robot battles. What more do you need?

If MLB Advanced Media are serious about keeping baseball alive on non-Sony consoles, they'd better be looking at that game and taking notes (or, failing that, at The Show itself), because as it stands, their efforts just aren't cutting it.

With not much other competition out there at the moment, and a few solid years of hype behind the game, Mortal Kombat X couldn't have been released at a better time. With a new generation of kombatants, updated and refined gameplay, and enough content to keep players busy for weeks, fighting game fans won't be disappointed.

One that's fun to look at, sure, but one worth playing? Until and unless there's a balancing patch on the way, probably not.

This marks an excellent port for one of the best RPG’s in recent years, and it’s a title that every RPG fan should not miss.

Because there's such a massive disconnect in quality between the online and offline versions of MLB 15: The Show, I'm really not sure how I feel about it. The former is absolutely awful, so bad that if I weren't a massive baseball fan already it would make me question how anyone could possibly like the sport.

As it stands, Metal Slug 3 on the Vita is a pretty lousy entry point for anyone new to the franchise, and only worth getting if you're able to overlook a whole lot of flaws.

It's the perfect game for anyone who's ever criticized their team's GM for doing a crappy job, since it gives you the opportunity to step into their shoes — and, with a few tweaks here and there, prove that all your criticisms are totally valid. It's wish fulfillment of the nerdiest kind, and I just can't get enough of it.

Overall, the blending of Etrian Odyssey and Mystery Dungeon is handled extremely well, thanks to the excellent work by Spike Chunsoft and Atlus.

If you’re coming from the PC version of the game, Scholar of the First Sin is a bit less enticing. But if you’ve only experienced the Xbox 360 or PS3 version, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin certainly comes off as a definitive version worth checking out.

It's cool that Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters is trying to make something out of the visual novel that's more than historical dramas or tales involving barely pubescent schoolgirls, but ultimately, it doesn't seem like the end result matched the goal.

Homeworld was, at the time, my favorite RTS. With the release of Homeworld Remastered Collection, this game has crawled back into my heart and is now firmly planted there for quite some time to come.

All in all, this isn’t a bad collection of two fun titles from last-gen, but it hardly feels like a must-have upgrade for anyone that’s played through both Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel already.

Axiom Verge borrows heavily from the classic games of yesteryear, like Metroid and Master Blaster, but unlike so many other indie games out there, faithfully recreates the gameplay elements found in those titles.

Still, those boss fights — those incredible, epic boss fights. However blah the lead-up to them may be, once you reach one it's easy to forget how middling everything that came before it may have been.

We're talking about a game with wonky controls and an even wonkier sense of balance, and it's probably better to just move on to something else and forget Scram Kitty DX exists.

While both tables offer something unique, you will most likely enjoy Castlestorm the most, as it’s the most fun to play. Wild West Rampage isn't completely terrible, but it’s not one you’ll be coming back to very often.
