I can't recommend MX vs ATV at any cost, instead put that money towards MXGP 3 or save for the upcoming MXGPro.
Despite its flaws, there is some enjoyment to be had playing Road Rage.
Gene Rain is the typical game that looks great in the trailer but leaves you feeling dissatisfied and somewhat cheated after playing it.
Jump, Step, Step is good for a quick distraction every now and again, but not much more.
As an action game and platformer, Eekeemoo leaves a lot to be desired. Thankfully, the experience doesn't overstay its welcome and its laid the groundwork to build upon (hopefully) for future installments.
Vaccine makes an admirable attempt to recapture the original survival horror style game, both looking and playing the part. Unfortunately, the advancements that developers have made in the past 20 years have made games like Vaccine obsolete.
It’s hard to recommend R.B.I. Baseball 16 to anyone but the hardest of the hardcore MLB fan. If you only own an Xbox One and you need a baseball game, I think you will find some enjoyment here. I would suggest those people to check out Super Mega Baseball, which released late last year, for a true arcade baseball experience.
I would suggest keeping your expectations low and your mind open when trying out Korgan.
It isn't often that a game can collectively stump myself and my colleagues who cover Xbox games pre-release; but Your Toy managed to do it.
Bloody Zombies is the type of game that I feel has so much going for it, but needs some more gameplay tweaks.
For the most part, Spheroids is a fun platformer and Pang hybrid that older and younger gamers will enjoy. Keep in mind that all 8 chapters can be completed in a couple hours, at a cost of $7.99. This game is worth it for gamerscore fans, but I don't see many players coming back after earning all achievements. If you are looking for a unique game that doesn't overstay its welcome, Spheroids might be for you.
I can't help but feel disappointed in City of Brass.
NBA Playgrounds is the definition of a game that's a mixed bag.
There isn't much reason to revisit the Last Harbour Family Hotel, but I enjoyed my stay.
The combat can get repetitive, the jumping is awful, and the difficulty ranges from extremely easy to extremely hard. Despite these faults there is still plenty enjoyment to be had in the game, along with a jenesequa that kept me trying again and again.
Conga Master gets a lot of credit from me for being unlike anything else on the market. It's colorful, embraces its art style and has incredible music. It's also very repetitive and the fact you can't level select just kills it for me.
Chime Sharp is a very hard game to recommend to anybody who isn't a hardcore puzzle fan. If you are unfamiliar with the series, then you might find yourself quickly confused and frustrated. Players who "get it" will have a bevy of songs and modes to unlock for quite a long time. Anyone looking for a more laid back and casual experience should sharpen their senses elsewhere.
Rememoried is the perfect type of game for those who like to figure things out with little help.
Solo: Islands of the Heart made me think about things that no game ever has before. In the end, I think that was Team Gotham’s goal all along.
With NBA Jam On-Fire Edition being horribly outdated and the original Playgrounds recently delisted, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is the go-to-choice for arcade NBA basketball by default.
