Evan Norris's Reviews
Mortal Kombat X stands tall as the pinnacle of the Mortal Kombat franchise.
After the Lego series reached new heights with Marvel Super Heroes and The Hobbit, Jurassic World feels like a step backward.
Pneuma's story, while intriguing and heady, is sometimes delivered in an annoying way.
Anyone looking for a comprehensive and complex RPG or strategy game might end up disappointed with Eisenwald. Those in the mood for a medieval adventure with a smart dose of tactical battles, morality choices, and RPG elements, however, will find a lot to like.
While Legend of Kay is improved technically, its production values, mechanics, and camera are still stuck in an uncomfortable past.
On a console known for its platformers and local multiplayer options, it's genuinely impressive how Runbow manages to stand out among the crowd.
Regardless of some pacing problems and uneven gameplay, Super Time Force Ultra has a lot to offer, including interesting level design, a silly sense of humor, and plenty of secret characters.
In the end, in spite of some control and gameplay issues, it's easy to see why Ubisoft developers fell under the spell of Grow Home. The alien world is verdant and alive, the sense of progress and discovery intoxicating, and the hero B.U.D. truly lovable.
With its cutesy story, significant customization options, and rock-solid co-op gameplay, Lovers is absolutely worth playing.
Aspiring game makers will spend hours at a time designing the perfect levels, and those kids-at-heart who grew up with Super Mario will get the chance to live out a fantasy 30 years in the making.
SOMA is one of the better survival-horror games of the last decade.
Unwritten Tales 2 is a satisfying point-and-click adventure game and a worthy sequel to one of the genre's best.
Although Freedom Planet does not officially bear the name Sonic the Hedgehog, it deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the greats of the series. It's the best Sonic game (that's not really a Sonic game) of the last 20 years.
With a little more financial support and a lot more play-testing, Armikrog could have been something special. As it stands, however, it seems incomplete.
A solid, if unspectacular, hack-n-slash game that honors the subject material and respects its fans.
A movie license tie-in game that lives down to genre expectations.
Even with a graphical facelift and some new customization options, the Wii U version of Rodea pales in comparison to the Wii build, and it doesn't come close to Naka's earlier works.
While the final act bogs down in firefights, the game, for the most part, juggles physical and mental challenges successfully.
Pokkén Tournament is an unqualified success.
Faithfully restored and rich in nostalgic goodness, Day of the Tentacle Remastered is easy to recommend, both to LucasArts fanatics and adventure game newcomers.
