Godzilla's biggest flaw -- thanks to its horrendous performance across the board -- is that it forgets to be fun or anything closely resembling that.
Sparkle Unleashed is a solid yet un-flashy puzzle game, and that's all I'll ever need or want from it.
Slender: The Arrival exudes excellent atmosphere and genuine dread, but recycled and repetitive gameplay deeply hampers a potentially enjoyable horror experience.
Dragon Ball: XenoVerse may not be the perfect Dragon Ball experience, but it is absolutely the perfect foundation for one. Here's to hoping that Dimps makes the right choices for the inevitable follow-up.

Transistor is ripe with potential, but in the end, it just doesn't rise to the occasion, and thus prevents itself from becoming greater than the sum of its parts.
When Don't Starve is not rage-inducing, it's an absolute charmer.
