60 / 100 - Extinction
Apr 10, 2018

Extinction offers up some awesome gameplay moments, but it also doesn't feature much variety in its campaign and other game modes, so the experience gets repetitive and stale faster than you'd like.

This finale episode provides a unique spin on the creation of the Joker, while also offering up tough choices that have lasting impacts on the episode and the franchise moving forward if Telltale continues to create new Batman stories. It redeems the season as a whole, and really provided some entertaining DC Comics moments.

87 / 100 - Moss
Mar 2, 2018

If you need a reason to buy a PSVR headset, then use Moss as that reason. It may not be perfect, but it's easily one of the best and most memorable VR experiences to date.

70 / 100 - Knockout League
Feb 21, 2018

Knockout League is as close as it gets to playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out in VR. It's not perfect, but it's good enough to make you feel like Little Mac.

This episode returns this Telltale Batman series to form, so if you haven't enjoyed the past two, then I urge you to give it one more shot thanks to this rather exciting and informative episode.

This episode drags the momentum of this second season down a bit, so if you haven't already been playing The Enemy Within, I'd wait on picking it up until the full season ends to see if the final two episodes can make up for this rather boring third one.

Battlefront 2 shines with its modern looking visuals and polish, and also has a great Star Wars campaign, but its multiplayer modes are plagued by a messed up progression system that may never provide the experience gamers were hoping to get for their $60.

Super Beat Sports may seem simple on the outside, but once you begin to climb the ladders in each mini-game, the challenge of this rhythm-based game becomes very clear.

This final episode of Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy series just feels a bit flat and doesn't quite offer up the tough choices that the previous episodes have featured.

While the gameplay can get a bit stale, the pure lunacy of the campaign's plot and cutscenes make this a worthy Wolfenstein sequel to play.

For the price and the fact that this is the only brand new title designed with the Xbox One X in mind releasing with the console, Super Lucky's Tale is worth your time. It would also provide plenty of fun for all ages on the Xbox One family of consoles and Windows 10 PC's.

This episode can get dull with its pacing at times, but the focus on Bruce Wayne does lead to some new insights into what makes him tick, as well as the motivations and personalities of some of Gotham's most iconic criminals.

This game is a pleasure to play and experience thanks to its many homages to classic games from the old school JRPG era. It's a no brainer must-play for fans of the genre.

Forza 7 is a gem of a game to look at and play. The MP lobbies require a bit of wait time, and there are micro transactions, but the visual fidelity and gameplay make both of these downsides relatively forgettable.

The Solus Project may not be at its best with the PSVR, but the game is worth playing in its standard mode on the PS4 thanks to the solid story that is wrapped around this survival/crafting game.

80 / 100 - NASCAR Heat 2
Sep 20, 2017

NASCAR Heat 2 is a solid stock car racing game that suffers from a bit of a grinding in its Career Mode. Outside of that it's a complete racing game experience that feels great and honors NASCAR's spirit.

90 / 100 - Destiny 2
Sep 15, 2017

Destiny 2 improves upon the original Destiny in all facets. It plays great, looks amazing, sounds even more amazing, and it's just a damn good time.

81 / 100 - Last Day of June
Aug 31, 2017

Last Day of June is a beautiful looking narrative driven game that suffers a bit from repetition, but if you can get past that it has an emotionally charged tale to experience.

80 / 100 - Windjammers
Aug 30, 2017

Windjammers is easy to pick up and play, but difficult to master, which adds to its addictive qualities. It's best played with other gamers, but also offers single-player experiences.

The third episode of Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy series puts a heavy focus on the relationship between Gamora and Nebula, which offers more than a few major decision points that will effectively change how your experience plays out. It's a solid episode, which happens to have a bit of a pacing issue.
