Vampire Rain: Altered Species has a lot working against it. Substandard AI, deficient visuals, exasperating difficulty and a host of other problems that make you wonder how much effort and care was actually poured into the game.

If you want a fun arcade racing game like this, I say stick to Super Off Road. The fact I’m suggesting playing an NES game over a current generation game says it all.

Thundercats is a poor example of almost every facet. The license is abused, the nostalgia just isn't there and the game is downright terrible functionality-wise. I simply cannot recommend this game for anyone. It is short, poorly designed and just not any fun. Someday I truly hope to see Lion-O and the gang return to form, but this game is certainly not the start of something special.

Simply put, Tenkai Knights Brave Battle is a horribly conceived piece of shovel-ware of the lowest caliber.

Not only does it take away from what the original games did so well, it fails to execute even the simplest of gameplay necessities. The platform jumping is horrendous, the combat mechanics are atrocious and sitting through some of the dialogue is just plain painful.

So, there you have it, yet another TMNT experience that can’t break the curse of being a bad game.

There is nothing that could get me to come back to this atrocity, nor a price tag that I might deem it worth checking out for. Amy is definitely scary, but not in the way it intends to be.

At its heart, it's a realistic basketball game that tries to be an arcade game. If Tecmo stuck with their roots and made it the game an actual arcade style b-ball game a la Tecmo Bowl, NBA Unrivaled would have been awesome but with stiff gameplay and wonky AI, the only thing good about this game is the way it looks.

If you own an Xbox One, do not go anywhere near this game. Pick up Killer Instinct and be happy with a true fighting game experience. This is trash that I was hoping to avoid with the new iteration of Kinect.

Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma: Vol. 1 is a bad, bad game. I hope the developers take note and fix these issues before releasing the next two volumes, but it almost feels beyond broken.

Postal 4 is a game that should be avoided. I can see now why some console makers did not want this travesty on their machines. This game is not fun or entertaining at all. Some of the voice work is decent and I laughed maybe twice in my entire playthrough, but on the whole it is embarrassing at best and offensive at worst. This is not a game that succeeds in its offensiveness and instead feels worse because when they attempt to be edgy it comes across as desperate.

It certainly isn’t genre defining, but it is a solid effort into a market that is by and large untapped.

Let’s do a simple math equation shall we? Slow moving, lethargic sea monsters plus overly sensitive Wiimote controls equals what? If your answer included anything about frustration or annoyance, you’d be correct.

If you are a fan of these types of experiences you will be hard pressed to find a better offering than Amaze’s Disney Friends, and having the names and faces of such adored characters certainly doesn’t hurt it’s appeal.

And while Cesar Millan is a great trainer, this game is simply a waste of DS battery life.

It is more like an interactive experience for a younger demographic that manages to remain accessible and fun while not feeling too daunting for anyone. The mini-games are fun, the visuals are bright and happy and the game just oozes with personality that can make just about anyone smile.

Mixing the classic crayon phenomenon with Wii remote interactivity is a brilliant idea, and one that will provide fun for kids and parents. The staggering difficulty curve makes playing on anything harder than easy a chore for younger gamers, and the levels suffer from being a bit too long for their own good, but everything else is a unique adventure that younger gamers will eat up.

People want a good arcade football game, and with more time, love, and effort, maybe Tecmo and ironically-named developer Seamless Entertainment could have done it. But they didn't, and now I've poured all of my hopes and dreams into the possibility of a Mutant League Football revival instead.

Rapala: We Fish is not a good start to bringing the series to a younger crowd. The controls are counterproductive and the layout and pacing of the game are simply mediocre at best.

The fast-paced action keeps things from getting too boring, and the medals and high scores actually strive to keep you coming back to improve your performance. The lack of depth and strategy will likely disappoint fans of the genre, but if you take it for what it is, it is actually quite enjoyable.

It is definitely a lot more enjoyable when playing with multiple people. However, be prepared to hear little Johnny scream as he probably will struggle with the controls more often than not.

Cho Aniki Zero is definitely an experience, but not one that probably warrants its hefty price tag.

The gameplay is fun and never really gets boring.

As an overall episode, Beyond the Alley of the Dolls is good, but it's starting to slow the pace of the season, which is not something you want to do right before the finale.

Still, for the existing Zen Pinball fan, it doesn't get much better than "Paranormal" as a pinball-oriented opportunity to gear up for Halloween. Most likely, you won't quit after the season has past and you'll still be discovering new surprises well into the Spring.
