    Dream Chronicles is a solid adventure, but unfortunately one that you will experience and then forget.

    While it is provably true that VR can be a good fit for shooting games, it is not true that a game can simply be built for a VR platform without putting a lot of thought into the vast differences between a flat, finger-based model and the VR model. Sniper Rust VR does not demonstrate that any such thought went into at all. Do yourself a favor - try the free demo before paying for this one.

    Godzilla Unleashed is a slow, boring and easy 2D action game that fails miserably on every level. With its terrible controls and short story mode, this Godzilla game is only good for testing your Nintendo DS to make sure it still works.

    I had high hopes for Thundercats, but those were dashed within the three hours I spent playing. It's too short, too tedious, and I would have liked to see better use of the other Thundercats, not just as assists. You can replay prior stages to unlock more cards, but why would you want to?

    Bad Day L.A. has all of the ingredients to become a memorable action game, but somewhere along the way the developers mixed in something sour to create one of the most disappointing games of the year.

    AMY
    Do not buy Amy. Do not play Amy. Do not look at Amy. Do not think about Amy. If your sister is named Amy, move to another country, and tell people your entire family was eaten by racist wolverines.

    The uninspired gameplay, incoherent narrative, and off-color humor of Postal III result in a game that has clearly passed its expiration date.

    It's not the premise that works against Flatout 3 being a good game, it's the implementation. Terribly weak AI and amorphous car control distract from what could have been an enjoyable vehicular riot.

    Sure this game is horribly racist, but the real hate crime here is the title's poor controls and insane difficulty.

    There is absolutely no reason to buy this game. Stay away, stay far away.

    This game is appropriate for young animal lovers ages 8-11, and while it is educational, it makes up for that by also being fun. There are a few annoyances, but overall it is a good value.

    Strawberryland Games might keep young kids occupied for a few minutes, but there isn't enough gameplay to really last them for long. The large amounts of reading and lack of flashy sounds and graphics will also frustrate youngsters. It's best for a rent, or a short car trip.

    Shin’en is back with another game for Game Factory, this time Strawberry Shortcake. The concept works much better as a platformer, with some decent gameplay and Shin’en’s typically good graphics. This one is a good gift idea for young children.

    While Pet Vet 3D isn't as glossy and glitzy as similar titles like Viva Pinata, it offers much more educational vlaue with the same style of game play. There's certainly something to be said for having your kids know what a real life wombat or Koala is, rather than a fictional White Flutterscotch or Kittyfloss.

    I don't know what else to say except for summarizing that this game is a complete mess, top to bottom. Even the slightest redeeming qualities, like the fun trivia mode an the quirky art style are quickly overshadowed by the numerous other shortcomings of the game.

    It captures the essence of a fun and enjoyable puzzle game, and turns it into something bigger and better

    Creature Defense mixes up the tried and true tower defense formula by adding cards. For the most part it works, but if you're not already a fan of this style of game you will likely not be won over by this mash-up.

    Triple Crown Championship Snowboarding may come from the same publisher as Stoked, but don't confuse this twisted mess with that solid snowboarding game. With its lack of depth, short story mode and ho-hum controls, you definitely get what you pay for when you buy Triple Crown Championship Snowboarding!

    You will play it, finish it, and likely never look back. Thankfully though, you will probably do so without regret.

    In two hours of gameplay, you'll fight a few old and new creatures, but you won't find the compelling content BioWare has become known for. Ultimately, the DLC to Dragon Age: Origins comes down to two more hours of battles playing under the role of a bard.

    A lot of good ideas are present but they're hampered by poor pacing, technical issues, and loose ends. It's fun for an action role playing game but will probably leave you wanting more.

    Overly simplistic and frustrating at times, Twisted Lands: Shadow Town fails to hold any interest.

    Planet Minigolf's newest DLC, Stronghold Island, provides an interesting course with creatively thought out obstacles as well as painstakingly designed decorations and atmosphere. Unfortunately, with the same terrible camera controls from the original game itself, the game is a struggle to play through and makes appreciating the setting that much more difficult.

    Beer and pretzels strategy game that comes on strong but fades quickly. Easy to pick up, and just as easy to put down.

    A solid engine brings an interesting conflict to life. No shortage of grognard fun, but not for the faint of heart.

    This patient could be a zombie except that zombies have to have been alive once to come back to life after death. House, M.D. is D.O.A. and isn't even suitable as a time waster.

    Ultimately, the Qlione bundle that comes at the price of $6.99 on the PSN gives you a good value for a 2D shooter that involves a healthy amount of strategy.

    Buy two. If you buy one for the casual gamer in your life you will just end up fighting over it. For the sake of your friends and loved ones, I beg you, buy two.

    Not that much new here, but a price to match. A good bet for fans of the original game looking for more content until the sequel comes out. If you can grab the whole series at the $12 mark, do it.

    It looks and plays exactly like Pipe Dream, but there's enough originality in Pipe Madness to warrant the inexpensive price point. Four dollars isn't too much to ask for one of the most compelling PSP Minis of 2011!
