    Legasista
    Legasista is a dungeon that is begging to be explored by anyone who likes to grind it through trap-filled levels.

    Papo & Yo
    This is a game you and your loved ones should play/watch together. It tells an incredibly personal story about love, loss, and growth that serves as an example of how far the video game medium has come as an art form.

    Darksiders II
    That's what Darksiders II is all about, exploration and an epic quest. I also applaud the team at Vigil Games for taking the risks that it did with the focus of this title and the scale to which it is built.

    Sleeping Dogs
    The living, breathing underworld of Hong Kong is expertly recreated. The sum of all of these parts give Sleeping Dogs that classic Hong Kong Kung Fu action flick vibe, putting you in the director's chair. There may not be any multiplayer, however, the sheer volume of content and the added Social Hub will keep you playing long after the credits roll.

    Sound Shapes
    It's beautiful, simple, unique, and if you ever had even the slightest interest in creating your own music, you're going to love Sound Shapes. If the thought of creating music is overwhelming to you, still, you're going to love Sound Shapes.

    Persona 4 Arena
    Learning a character's combos and special abilities is complimented by learning their innermost motivations and fears. These are fighters you can care about, and this is a fighting game everyone should play.

    Rainbow Moon
    The game is a huge time sink in terms of exploration and leveling, making it a perfect way to while away the summer doldrums.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Dyad
    For its surprisingly low asking price, Dyad is a visual powerhouse that must be seen to fully comprehend.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Quantum Conundrum
    If you've already played both Portal games to death and are dying to sink your teeth into another mind-bending puzzler, look no further, for Quantum Conundrum will undoubtedly satiate that craving. Just don't expect it to blow you away like jumping through portals for the first time.

    Bellator: MMA Onslaught
    Put simply, don't buy Bellator: MMA Onslaught even if you are an MMA fan. In fact, go play Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown or Skullgirls. Sure, they're not a realistic looking games, but they're better MMA/fighting games than this travesty.

    The Amazing Spider-Man
    It's a terrific starting point to build future installments from. However, I think that Beenox really needs to sit down and understand what makes Spider-Man an interesting character to play and find ways to accurately capture that feeling without overly simplifying the experience.

    The Walking Dead: Episode 2 - Starved for Help
    Telltale Games has a gem on its hands. If the remaining three episodes of this series are anything like the first two, The Walking Dead may very well go down in history as the greatest adventure game of this generation.
    • 81 Metascore

    LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
    The inclusion of the free roaming open world aspect is a huge step in the right direction, but is let down by the lack of a mini-map and some extremely shoddy vehicle work.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
    The game is a great fit for younger children who might not be ready to navigate the open-world Gotham, or for gamers who would like a LEGO Batman 2 fix on the go and are open to its more condensed offerings. However, gamers looking for a game that offers everything that the home console version does and nothing else should pick up that version, as LEGO Batman 2 Vita won't quite be what they're looking for.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Spec Ops: The Line
    From the moment I turned it on, it took me by surprise. The setting of a once luxurious, sand-covered Dubai is a true stroke of genius, and makes for both gameplay and story situations that are a cut above the norm-especially when it comes to cookie-cutter military shooters.
    • 81 Metascore

    Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
    Ultimately, the incredible amount of fun and content to be had within Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 outweighs a lot of this package's negatives. But the lack of Peace Walker is such a glaring omission, it really cannot be dismissed all that easily.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Inversion
    Unfortunately, everything that could be used to make Inversion a unique and standout game - if not a sleeper hit - has such a small presence in the game that it just feels like a squad shooter with decent mechanics and some different ideas.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Lollipop Chainsaw
    You can forgive the shoddy dialogue and lame jokes as that is what they were going for, but you cannot forgive rather boring combat, a short game, and absolutely zero replay value.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mad Riders
    In a weird way, Mad Riders is a game that seems to have too many different race types. The fact is that the game seems to be at its best when the event is just a simple race.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland
    A triumph for players out there looking for an addicting RPG full of creating items and building your kingdom to new heights.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
    The game's accessibility remains a key strength and highlight throughout both sides of the game, enabling both casual fans of squad shooters and more hardcore fans to find something they'll enjoy.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Resistance: Burning Skies
    I was utterly surprised and impressed at how smooth the online matches were, and just how much I enjoyed it overall. For the first of its kind, Burning Skies does a hell of a job replicating the online multiplayer experience found on consoles-complete with lobbies, matchmaking, voice chat via Party, social aspects via Near, and leaderboards.
    • 44 Metascore

    Battleship
    The graphics and presentation are bland. There are only three enemy types to dispose of. There is no multiplayer. Other than collecting in-game pegs inspired from the board game, replayability scarcely exists.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Rock of Ages
    To put the game into perspective, it's like Monty Python got together and said "Let's make a video game."
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Gravity Rush
    Playing Gravity Rush delivers sensations that I haven't felt in years, and it's truly unrivaled in providing this exact type of fun. Believe the hype. Gravity Rush is a game like no other.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dragon's Dogma
    The gameplay is great and the unique Pawn system makes you feel like you're playing with others even though it's a single player experience.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Sorcery
    Sorcery is like baking a cake, but with only a teaspoon of sugar, one egg, a pinch of flour, and a tablespoon of baking powder; all of the ingredients are there, but there's not enough of each ingredient to make the magical game that PlayStation Move owners have been looking for.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    PixelJunk 4am
    The game offers stress-free, relaxing gameplay that allows its users to be as creative as they'd like to be. Although PixelJunk 4am may have a lack of traditional game elements, that same lack of traditional game elements is what makes it great and one of the most fascinating and intuitive experiences available for PlayStation Move.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Max Payne 3
    While not groundbreaking on a technical level, the game's visuals are the best we've seen from this studio. Every locale feels authentic and lived in, making the experience, although incredibly linear, still feel organic.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Prototype 2
    What it may lack in depth, Prototype 2 makes up for in solid open-world action and fun. It's highly recommended to anyone who feels that open-world games have offered too many constraints and would just like to engage in some havoc. However, the game's lack of variety and repetitive mission structure may not offer other gamers the experience that they're looking for, especially when compared to other games in the genre.
