    Take an indie platformer like VVVVVV or Downwell and up the ultraviolence, that's Shotgun Cop Man.

    Busy friends list but short of local pals? This safe but solid sequel was made for you.

    Waiting tables is reduced to repetitive and frenzied clicking in Diner Dash, a $20 restaurant sim that turns simple game-play into an addictive treat. [Apr 2006, p.100]

    An incredible trip through a stunning post-apocalyptic world, let down by some uninspiring FPS combat.

    A novel perspective on totalitarian surveillance. Orwell may not make you think, but it should keep you entertained.

    The best in tis underrated series, but the gameplay hasn't kept pace with the FPS genre. [Feb 2001, p.90]

    Disc Room provides hours of high-stress fun for daring adventurers, and a few mysteries to solve.

    • 78 Critic Score
    Shadow Warrior 2’s combat is gleefully expressive and varied, but undermined by tired, dated humor.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It seems that the difficulty in scoring is the developers' way of balancing out the appalling defensive AI. [Feb 2003, p.63]

    The imaginative setup is deliciously inspired, yet Moai Better Blues stands as one of the weaker entries in the Sam & Max series. [Apr 2008, p.62]

    Moonlighter is a cute and casual revival of an uncommon mashup but doesn’t stick around to push the boundaries.

    • 78 Critic Score
    Old-school Japanese shooting, platforming action reminds us just how fun the simple games of the ‘80s could be.

    Even if you have the skill to complete the single-player game, you'll have only scratched the surface of this thorough war simulator. [Aug 2007, p.62]

    Any Spidey freak will have a blast, and comics fans will delight in Spider-Man’s right-off-the-page super-powered antics. If you want the PC’s best superhero game, this is it.

    Not as tough or as deep as it could be, Omerta is still a destination well worth a visit.

    Mask of the Rose's writing and characters shine, but the game underneath them never fully gels together.

    Basically a Star Wars mod for "Age of Empires II." That’s pretty cool, though. [Holiday 2001, p.100]

    A much-needed and fun refresher for Blizzard’s card battler, although the next card expansion will need to be more sizeable.

    Tennis Masters would be much more fun to play, however, if it weren’t for a bunch of annoying niggles. Chief among them is a strangely stuttery style of animation that goes totally against the seamless, fluid feel you’d expect.

    It's all a lot to handle for new players. [May 2010, p.65]

    Excellent combat and a stunning sense of scale help steer Lost Ark through its more tired MMO conventions.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Easy going in tone but frantic and stressful by nature, Screencheat seizes on a single novel idea and builds an enjoyable couch shooter around it.

    • 78 Critic Score
    Old-school Yakuza for better or worse, but still a good point of entry for newcomers.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    An elegantly simple adventure that proves this new genre has legs.

    Destination: Treasure Island may not break any significant new ground, but it nevertheless delivers one of the PC's better adventure-gaming yarns since "Monkey Island".

    In the weeks ahead--maybe even by the time you read this--Silent Hunter 4 will likely grow into the sub-sim classic its ambitious designers intended. It's just too bad that the out-of-the-box version narrowly missed the boat. [June 2007, p.64]
