    Teslagrad delivers in every gameplay aspect it should as a puzzle platformer and really brings in a heart-wrenching story through unique actions instead of just the normal dialogue you would get in other titles.

    Darkly devilish, unique and most of all, fun, revel in it's almost heretical depravity, The Binding of Isaac is available now on the Xbox Store for less than $20.

    Most of my time that was spent in the game involved standing still waiting for strawberries to grow or to repair one of my towers. This completely negates its supposed fast-paced feel and replaces it with almost a clutter effect. This interruption causes you to miss important events that could cost you the game.

    I can see endless potential for a game centered on civilians rather than one centered on the all-too-common soldier stories, but this game just isn’t that one.

    It furthers the shooter genre that has stagnated for a while. Despite its short playtime, the title offers an amazing experience that can’t be found in any other game out there.

    To sum up, Ironcast is an interesting puzzle game that combines puzzle gameplay with RPG elements. It can definitely be enjoyed by some players, especially those that don't get put off by having all their progress turned to dust once they die and need to start everything from scratch, over and over again.

    There are a lot of life lessons in The Flame in the Flood, and I wish that some of those weren't due to sheer luck with strategy being removed by the procedurally-generated gameplay.

    In conclusion, Dying Light is a terrifying open-world zombie game with an excellent story, intent on scaring the living hell out of you. The thrill of rotting flesh, blood, guts and quite often my own tears has left me with an ironically refreshing outlook on what a game can be when it truly delivers.

    The title’s inaccessibility is its biggest problem. However, if you can look past that and come prepared by watching playthroughs or reading guides, Pixel Piracy will keep you hooked for dozens of hours.

    Fortunately, due to The Walking Dead: Michonne's three episode setup, it does not fall victim to the typical drawn-out storyline that the rest of Telltale games have. The shortened series makes for a fast-paced experience both emotionally and action wise, and is Telltale's best game yet.

    Overall, Cobalt is a side-scrolling adventure that features devastatingly horrible level design, useless deaths and an overly frustrating time constraint system that handcuffs you to a paddle-less boat while it takes the death plunge over the falls.

    It's great to see a game that still tries to keep old couch competitive multiplayer gameplay alive, but unfortunately, In Space We Brawl isn't exactly the best game out there for that. The game fails to keep the player interested in it for more than a couple of games until the lack of variety and overall claustrophobic and chaotic arenas start to slowly take the fun out of it.

    CyberConnect2 have done it again, and it’s very sad knowing that (at this time) Ninja Storm 4 is confirmed to be their last Naruto game. However, this game has so much content, that I honestly don’t know if we need one. They’ve served their purpose of illustrating the story of Naruto, and they’ve really wrapped it up with their best game yet.

    Factotum 90 is probably the simplest and easiest puzzle game that I've ever played. You don't have any kind of time limit needed to beat each level so that frustration is completely put aside. To be honest, it took me about 6 hours to fully complete all the 30 levels.

    It just doesn’t fit consoles well. It might be visually pleasing and a rather unique take on a tower defense game, but the gameplay is repetitious and frustrating. It failed to keep me hooked for over 15 minutes at a time.

    A very fun, frantic and enjoyable experience, made all the better with a team of up to 4 players destroying everything that the golden age of Pulp sci-fi can throw at you. With its smooth gameplay, comic book cutscenes and pleasing graphics, Fortified will keep you coming back time and time again, and gives you plenty of game for your money.

    It’s the bare-bones of what I wanted the game to be. Still, for all of its faults, I think that people will find it enjoyable. I realize that I might not be the title’s target audience. I wanted something with a little more difficulty and much more variety, but for $6.99, Bike Mayhem 2 offers just enough content to satisfy its customers.

    Amazing Princess Sarah is well worth the price of $6.49 if you are fans of classics like Ghosts & Goblins and Wizards & Warriors. If you haven't played these games or ones similar to it yet, Amazing Princess Sarah does a brilliant job of embracing the genre at its core while not alienating fans with the modern day improvements that newcomers will enjoy.

    Distraint is a phenomenal experience that all gamers should play. It explores guilt through the lens of a horror title which is rather unique in the video game space. Despite the fact that it can become frustrating at times, it takes a lot of risks that pay off. The twists in the game are unexpected and disturbing.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A phenomenal experience. As I said before, the game proves that you don’t need state of the art graphics to provide players with enjoyment. Focus on the humor and controls and people will be pleased. I couldn’t put this game down once I started playing.

    Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink offers an enjoyable but short game in the hidden object and puzzle genre. The price might be a little ambitious for developers Artifax Mundi, but they have put together a well-made title. Sadly it offers little over other point and click puzzlers available today.

    For fans and newcomers to the series, the game will not disappoint with its unique blend of time travelling and kinetic abilities plus many Easter eggs from the show. Gemini: Heroes Reborn is a solid, fun and to the point representation of the Heroes universe. Plus, it has a very low price.

    I recommend Albedo to any puzzle fan with some patience who is willing to be rewarded for hard work. Although some functions detract from the overall experience, Albedo is an above average puzzle game with many redeeming qualities. Taking into account the elements that could be refined in Albedo, I'm anxious to see what Merge Games develops next.

    With an install size of only 1.9 GB, you can be forgiven for thinking that Rebel Galaxy is a small game, but Double Damage has put together an excellent experience with a fun, well-voiced narrative, offering dedicated players upwards of 50-100 hours of gameplay long after the main quest line has been completed.

    Zheros is without a doubt a good beat 'em up, as its core is a pure '90s beat 'em up experience. It has great 3D environments as well. Unfortunately, it suffers from a few issues. The story is all told in cinematics without a single dialogue. Apart from that, the story is kind of predictable even without dialogues.

    Gone Home is a phenomenal game and should be considered an achievement for the entire gaming industry. It takes conviction to tell a story like this. I can't give Fullbright enough credit for making this game. The game is filled with masterful storytelling and real life lessons. It nails the mysterious atmosphere perfectly.

    One thing that definitely stands out in G Prime is the background story, which is probably the best that I've seen in a game like this. For those interested in a challenging puzzle game with a unique story and style, G Prime: Into the Rain is a solid play, but clumsy controls, odd menus, and difficult camera angles will surely drive away more conventional gamers.

    Although single-player options are available, Hyperdrive Massacre comes to life when two to four players cram close together in front of a large television screen. The solid, bright visuals, tongue-in-cheek feel, and retro sound all demand that the television get switched on and the extra pads be brought out during small parties. It's a blast to experience with others, not so much on your own.

    There is an incredible mix of exploration, customization and enjoyment in Unepic that any development team would be proud of. The ironic thing about Unepic is there is no development team. It's just one guy. Francisco Téllez de Meneses is from Spain and spent two years creating Unepic in his free time. The score, coding, design...everything about Unepic is the result of one man's work and dedication.

    I would recommend picking up Lovely Planet if you genuinely prefer games that require repetition and tremendous skill to master. There is a market for experiences like this out there. The title is addicting and will keep you hooked for dozens of hours. Maybe hundreds if you want to go for total completion. Unfortunately, this game will appeal to only a niche audience because the average gamer doesn't crave these experiences.

    Those feeling truly nostalgic for Wasteland or Fallout 1 or 2 might enjoy themselves here, and those heavily invested in RPGs will assuredly find some features redeeming, but for the general population of gamers Wasteland 2 is an old game with old mechanics attempting to disguise itself as something new. It’s just as bland as the desert future that it foretells.

    A great experience that is let down by its voice acting and certain key junctures in the story when the developers just tell us so much that we can guess what's going to happen next. The good news is that these are few and far between and the spectacular final missions make up for everything.

    A great game despite its flaws. The campaign could be more but still manages to be a great experience if you look past the first few missions. Multiplayer is a blast and makes up for the inadequacies found in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. If you're a fan of Call of Duty, this will appeal to you. While the formula doesn't take risks, it still works.

    The issue is that this game plays it safe and doesn't offer anything new in its core shooting gameplay. It ignores progress made in the genre and that's most upsetting. Casual players will have a blast but it really isn't for the rest of us in my opinion.

    A fun little title. I wouldn't sit down and play it for multiple consecutive hours, but I don't think that's really what they were going for. I can totally see myself playing this while waiting for a game to install or for fun every once and awhile. It's a shame I can't snap it to the side of my screen and play it while waiting in a lobby of Call of Duty or Halo and play a round of it before my match starts.

    Whether it's by yourself or together at a party, Starwhal will leave you frustrated beyond belief in a way that will simply just make you laugh.

    Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is not even vaguely, remotely fun.

    Hyper Void is a solid entry into an ageing genre; with top of the line visuals and sound only made frustrating at times due to lack of difficulty options. Veterans of the genre will look at the game as a welcome addition but the more casual gamer might find Hyper Void at the tougher end of their spectrum.
