    The game is a lot of fun, but the blistering difficulty makes the game frustrating at first.

    • 79 Critic Score
    The storyline is the same one it has always been and the difficulty is obscene.

    It's not a bad expansion by any means, it just feels rather light compared to the previous three expansions.

    This is definately your classic strategy game, made by a team that really likes the genre.

    Avoid high expectations, and rent.

    The franchise mode works pretty well for the first year, but then you find out that your players don’t really gain much in ability, veterans are still powerhouses far after their prime years and your team goes to pot as it drafts and sends up younger players when you sim seasons.

    When put up against the likes of Midnight Club 2 it fails to impress because the single-player part of the game is just horrible.

    Fans of the genre will find plenty to enjoy here, but the rough start and hefty (for an indie title) price tag might keep a lot of potential players from pulling the trigger.

    For a game based on the season's first blockbuster, and given how well a job was done on this limited-but-loveable platform, I am impressed.

    It’s a simmered down alternative to StarCraft and a good entry point into the RTS genre. It’s unfortunate that a few technical faults and the repetitive single player bogged down the title from being as great as it could have been.

    Adults may tire of the gameplay after a few rounds, but kids are sure to love it. I never thought I'd be recommending a fart app, but it just goes to show that a little personality can go a long way!

    For you guys who love to collect gear and customize/create avatars, particularly mechas? Again, this is worth a look. Everyone else, you may want to give this a pass for now and wait to catch it at a discount.

    With a current price of $9.99 on Steam, Surgeon Simulator 2013 is coming out of the gates rather reasonably priced for what it is. I didn’t encounter any crashes or bugs, or indeed any form of frustration that wasn’t clearly built into the game intentionally to begin with – if anything, the whole thing feels remarkably polished, more than many major releases.

    The games control is well done, easy to learn and customizable but players get stuck and this makes for some frustrating moments and the free throw system could have been done better.

    The lack of magic and trap cards hinders the early portion of the game. Those who are patient enough to get through the introductory duels are in for some challenging duels.
    • 74 Metascore

    This game is a great foundation – now would be a great time to expand on it and fix some of the minor issues to bring out the AAA potential in this title.
    • 72 Metascore

    While the story is a bit cliché, the setting is much better than your typical fantasy or sci-fi fare. It’s unfortunate that the combat gets bland quickly and camera issues abound.

    Overall, SpongeBob is a decent title.
    • 70 Metascore

    There are a lot of shining moments, especially in multiplayer, that make the game a lot of fun.

    If you are a hardcore fighting fan, or someone who wants to learn all of the nuances to become better at fighting games, then at least give Skullgirls a look.

    Capsized+ makes a bold attempt to cash in on its love from the console market, and if you really enjoyed it on the big screen then you’ll most likely find it enjoyable on the small screen.

    Limited coverage of Van Halen’s long history as a band, little involvement from the band members themselves, and a strange assortment of accompanying tracks all conspire to limit the appeal of this title.

    The setting of the game and the interface were perfect, but the gameplay felt like something new was just around the corner, and never came.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The loading times, framerate drops and lack of a "draw-in" factor with the story really hurts this game from being all it could have been.

    If you enjoy the challenge of creative description, WordTag Free is worth checking out – I can't think of any other title in the App store that has quite this approach to a vocabulary based game, and it seems to have a lot of potential.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    As it stands, most of the potential it has feels ultimately wasted, and the price tag seems way too high for what it is at the end of the day – particularly for a game available on the normally somewhat selective Steam service.

    All and all, it just dosen't seem as fun, and that takes away from the overall experience.

    The game is certainly executed extremely well, and is a fun and faithful translation. However, with only one map so far I can't personally justify the premium price point.

    You can tell sacrifices in controls and visuals are made to port this to the PSP, but if you can get past the few issues, the same excellent game we had on consoles a couple months ago can be taken on the road quite easily.

    If you are looking for a fighting game that uses the Wiimote, there aren’t many options available on the shelves. Armageddon for the Wii fills that void nicely.
