    If you’re looking for a spellbinding visual novel, then don’t waste another minute searching for one, because Hakuoki is what you want.

    You probably already know whether or not this is a game for you, so if you don’t have a problem with lots of reading and very minimal visual presentation, you can’t go wrong with Dark Scavenger.

    If you’re still intrigued by Lili, go with the far less expensive iOS version and enjoy its repetitive play in short bursts.

    Boasting highly chore-like qualities, it is nowhere near worth the low price of admission.

    Into the Dark: Ultimate Trash Edition is not “so bad, it’s good.” It’s just bad. Very, very bad.

    Its best feature, outside of any obvious educational benefits, is that Influent feels very much like a video game. Where most programs would have you sift through walls of text, painfully memorizing bits and pieces at a time, Influent has you explore, on your own terms, a game space chock-full of interactive study points.

    Unless you’re some sort of masochistic that enjoys frustration, there is very little reason to recommend Dark Raid, and even then there are plenty of better anger-inducing games available.

    By tempering expectations somewhat, Yury provides what you expect from a difficult platformer. It will make you die a lot and curse at the screen.

    Splatter’s main gameplay is solid; it just needs to fix a handful of issues to be considered a contender.

    It may appear to be a little minimalist on the surface, and the game doesn’t really teach you all you need to know about its battle system. But for those who enjoy this kind of passive and vague role playing experience, especially with a battle system that has you assume the role of a chess player and nothing else, then Deity Quest might be your little niche.

    The use of mouse, while functional and serviceable, takes away from the true potential of the gesture-heavy gameplay. As it stands now, though, Fearless Fantasy is still a nicely streamlined role playing battle marathon.

    If you’re looking for a puzzler with a gentle difficulty curve then Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is a good choice.

    There’s not much wrong with The Big Bank Heist solely as DLC, but the game it’s built upon contains flaws that carry over here (enemy A.I., general glitches, etc). Still, PAYDAY 2: The Big Bank Heist does exactly what DLC should do by expanding upon the base game with new features and challenges that can’t easily be replicated in the base product.

    As innovative as its main concept is, Spoiler Alert abandons the inherent interactive element of video games, with only a terribly linear and bleak experiment still in tow.

    If you want to have a good time with your 3DS, however, you’d be better off smashing it with a hammer.

    Point Perfect is a fun game that, although meant to be enjoyed casually in short bursts, rewards getting better and lasting longer, allowing more of the game’s crazy randomness to be experienced as a high score worth bragging about is racked up.

    If you love the Muramasa, you’ll get more than your money’s worth out of A Spirited Seven Nights Haunting.

    Give The Nightmare Cooperative a shot if you’re bored by the existing base of roguelikes and dungeon crawlers.

    Simply put, there are better visual novels out there.

    Aside from some spotty keyboard control implementation and limited online play, there’s little not to like here. Mount Your Friends is a wonderfully weird game best experienced with buddies.

    Sharknado: The Video Game is so bad that you already knew it was going to be bad before reading anything else about it.

    While McDroid shoots for the stars with these additions to the tower defense genre, it mostly ends up flaming out in the atmosphere.

    Blackbay Asylum is the complete opposite of a perfect game, but there’s a good brain to go with the cheesily gory heart hiding under its ugly psychopathic exterior.

    But at the end of the day, Another Perspective takes a cool little idea and executes it in a variety of ways without major hitches.

    See No Evil is a rewarding and enjoyable game to play, hear and see.

    Toast Time is fun, but shallow.

    Amazing Princess Sarah is well-worth five bucks if you love old-school gems like Castlevania but if you’re not into that classic retro scene, Amazing Princess Sarah will do as much to convince you of the genre’s flaws as it convinces you of its strengths.

    Hell’s Where the Heart Is closes out Muramasa Rebirth‘s additional content nicely. It’s a light-hearted take on a sometimes-dark game, and offers up a completely different experience than past DLCs.

    Orborun is one of the finest examples of a mobile-to-PC game to date. It controls marvelously with either a keyboard/mouse setup or a controller, outside of the on-screen UI from the mobile version being retained.

    Boo Bunny Plague is not worth your time or money.
