The absolute highlight of the game’s graphics is the kitten; cute, cuddly and playful in its movements.
Gigantosaurus: The Game is the type of game that is difficult to recommend for everyone. The platforming gets a bit tiresome, the graphics are quite dated, and the overall package is geared towards a younger audience. If you have young gamers in the house, especially those familiar with the TV series, then this might be perfect. Another group of gamers who might get a kick out of this game are those that long for classic collect-a-thon platformers like Donkey Kong 64.
Lust From Beyond is a difficult title to review. On one hand, there are a variety of technical issues and design limitations, likely due to budget constraints, that make the game look dated. However, there is a nice variety of content and areas throughout the game and the story is deep and robust. The game is linear, but there are moments when it doesn’t feel linear – and there are some choices you can make that do impact certain outcomes. It’s rare that a game can create an adventure, filled with sex and nudity, without it feeling like it’s just about the sex and nudity.
If there was more variety in the campaign, I'd be far more willing to recommend this, but as it is now, expect an experience that grows dull after a couple hours.
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is a unique experience that is really impressive at first glance. I enjoyed putting the courses together and exploring the variety of Grand Prix’s, but after a while, the experience does lose its charm much faster than normal Mario Kart experiences. I think this is in part due to the fact that there really is only so many ways I can set up four gates in my living room, the game gets stale because my ideas get stale. Some of the in-game obstacles that impact your RC cars steering, like the Chain-Chomp power-up and the high winds, often caused me to crash into living room objects or knock the gates out of place. This was incredibly annoying and really ruins the experience more than a badly timed Blue Shell. Moreover, the cost to play multiplayer is way too steep, keeping this ultimately a single-player experience for most families. While there is a nice amount of variety in courses, there really isn’t much to do after you master the 200cc difficulty – assuming you haven’t lost interest long before then.
Big Pharma might not be a cure-all product, but it should definitely alleviate that simulation itch for some.
Wreckin’ Ball Adventure is a decent platformer that combines some existing gameplay elements and tries to do something relatively unique.
For the most part, I was happy with this fighter and I really hope we see some additional post-release content added, such as more characters from Nicalis published titles.

The new co-op mode is incredibly fun and just proves that two-player Pac-Man should be a mandatory option for all future Pac-Man releases. It is disappointing that the co-op mode is limited to only five levels and an unlockable "Boss Rush" mode.
It's a visual style that's been borrowed before and will likely be borrowed again – not necessarily a bad thing, but not very original either.
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is a very good game that was overlooked by many the first time it popped up over a decade ago.
Visually, the game is absolutely stunning.
The story is a bit dull, featuring a "mysterious Pokemon" that really isn't that mysterious, even to casual fans like myself
Dead Rising 4: Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf DLC provides players with a completely unique and off-beat variation to mini golf with a fun Dead Rising twist.Dead Rising 4: Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf DLC provides players with a completely unique and off-beat variation to mini golf with a fun Dead Rising twist.
Each stage has been updated substantially to properly fit modern TVs and has a nice, smooth, cartoon-like look
The Emperor's Challenge DLC only adds a small amount of new content but its small price tag makes it a great impulse buy that fans of the original game will get their money's worth out of.
Let me make this perfectly clear; the soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks I’ve heard this year and is so far the soundtrack to beat in 2017.
WRC 6 is a decent racing game, assuming you understand exactly what you’re getting into.
If you’re looking for some weekend entertainment and enjoy run and gun, first person shooter style games in a futuristic setting – at $15, you really can’t go wrong.
