The open-world Marvel Universe game I always wanted, only blockier.
A fresh direction for the franchise, dressed up as an older game so we don't feel all awkward about it.
It's more Peggle, only prettier.
A bright, colorful and friendly introduction to the world of online multiplayer shooters.
The tried and tested Spider-Man formula is beginning to wear thing.
A solid, satisfying run-and-gun first-person shooter that elevates iconic hero B.J. Blazkowicz from glorified holster to actual human being.
Much more than a dolled-up version of its predecessors, Mario Kart 8's new features and refinements make a stale series fun again.
With more personality than ever before and a narrow focus on the new toys, it's the perfect time to play a perfect platformer without being overwhelmed by years of toy releases.
A high tech upgrade completely refreshes the tired Call of Duty formula.
Less Batman, more Green Lantern. This is good.
Do you like hunting for a thing to unlock a door so you can find another thing to unlock another door? Then this is your game.
More ways to have fun, fewer manufactured barriers to do so. Inventive game mechanics lead to some truly breahttaking levels. Driving and flying is a blast. Underwater vehicle levels are the worst.
Finally, a toys-to-life game with real toys and not glorified statues.
Get to know your friends from Persona 4 even more intimately, and maybe dance along.
It's Rock Band for a new generation (of consoles). Same great taste as the previous games. Tour mode is the best single player experience in the series. Relatively bare bones compared to previous release. Initial song list too small to support tour mode.
Outstanding combat. Plenty of familiar faces and foices. Camera has issues. Repetitive environments are repetitive. The game ends. The cloest gaming has come to a playable Generation One Transformers cartoon.
A Guitar Hero game that finally lives up to the name, plus playable MTV. Amazingly immersive experience, excellent new guitar. Music television reborn and made interactive. Short single-player campaign with no hope for more. Singing requires guitar accompaniment.
The campaign is great. The multiplayer is good. The zombie mode is lovely.
Great for kids and Marvel fans, but the LEGO video game formula is wearing really thin.
To many I imagine Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is just a colorful but simplistic role-playing game with a slow-to-start story and repetitive dungeon environments. To me it's the chance to spend hours capturing Poyomon, Digivolving it to Tokomon, reaching max level and then De-digivolving it back to Poyomon, reaching max level and Digivolving to Tokomon, then Patomon, and finally increasing Patomon's stats so it can Digivolve to Angewoman. If that sounds exciting to you, then boof!
