As much as I wanted to go back to Rapture, Burial at Sea is short on story and simplistic in the missions available. It is still good to see some familiar sights being powered by the Unreal Engine 3. Hopefully, the second part of Burial at Sea can help tie up a few things and improve upon the first.

The swappable characters add a nice new mechanic and jumping is finally in. The PlayStation 4 version looks solid with better textures and resolution. It's fun for the whole family, but can be an expensive investment if your kid wants to unlock every level in the game.

BioShock Infinite Burial at Sea Episode 2, for the most part, is a fitting end to the entire series. It brings everything full circle and connects the first game with the third game. Playing as Elizabeth, you're forced to be more patient in going through the game as well as using some different techniques than if you were playing as Booker. The game crashes were certainly far more than what I've experienced in the past. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes confusing, Episode 2, while not the crowing achievement for Irrational Games' last effort, was a good end and a better DLC than Episode 1.

Zen goes out with a bang with three really good tables and one OK table. For the price of three tables, you get four to play and each have something a little different to offer.

8.5 / 10.0 - MLB 14: The Show
May 7, 2014

MLB 14 The Show is a great baseball game marred by long load times, inconsistent online play, and performance issues. It's still a fun game and Road to the Show is, as usual, a great way to play the game. Fans of baseball will enjoy the game, but it's a little disappointing to see the performance issues.

Wolfenstein: The New Order surprised me. I didn't expect to like it much, but I found the action fun and the visuals impressive. Performance issues still arise on the PC. Some of those issues, which stem from the id Tech 5 engine, should've been taken care of by now since they were present when Rage first came out in 2011. Overall, a solid action shooter by MachineGames.

A solid outing for this year's Skylanders, SuperChargers is a lot of fun to play and you can now do it online with friends.

Jun 15, 2016

Another year and another good outing for SCE San Diego Studio. MLB The Show 16 has some great improvements for Road to the Show, but some problems still persist. Baseball lovers will definitely enjoy the game.

7 / 10.0 - Everest VR (VR)
Aug 4, 2016

It's good in spurts and looks incredible. I just wish there was more to do and it's rather expensive for the amount of interaction you have in it. The NVIDIA effects are neat though and the use of multi-res is a great way to get more performance with better graphics.

Great for kids, but might not be enough there for older VR gamers.

I had a lot of fun with Arizona Sunshine with a superb single player experience. I wish the multiplayer modes were more stable, because playing with friends was a blast.

While very short, fans of the show will love being able to move around and interact in the world of Rick and Morty.

It's the same game, but in VR. If you didn't like the game before, you won't like it now. It's less frustrating, but a fun little party game to play with friends.

7.4 / 10.0 - Batman: Arkham VR
Jun 23, 2017

It's really short and you won't get much replay value, but being Batman even for one a night, and in a more passive role, is still pretty cool.

A good entry in the series for those who skipped a year. Virtual currency is pushed everywhere. The Neighborhood is OK. Basketball action is fun and exciting.

There's not too much to not like about Injustice 2's port to the PC. A great fighting game along with plenty of features to keep you busy.

9 / 10.0 - Fallout 4 VR
Jan 10, 2018

It does have its issues, but Fallout 4 VR is one of my favorite VR titles so far. Make sure you have a very beefy computer to run it though.
