While the concept is sound, actually playing SuperHyperCube is like hitting your head against the wall. It's interesting at first, but quickly becomes repetitive and excessively painful. And you're paying big money for it, too.

60 / 100 - Battlezone (VR)
Oct 29, 2016

Battlezone does an okay job of rebooting the original arcade game, but the end result of a randomly generated roguelike experience doesn't really satisfy. One of the most expensive PS VR launch titles, for no good reason.

Dec 7, 2016

Despite a few improvements, Dead Rising 4 falls short in too many areas to earn a recommendation. A passable entry in the zombie slaying franchise that wastes the return of its original hero.

With underwhelming presentation, disappointing gameplay and lots of technical issues, Space Hulk: Deathwing fails to live up to its potential. The game attempts to stay true to the source material, but even so requires players to be familiar with the Warhammer universe.
