The enhancements aren't quite ready for prime-time, but Baldur's Gate II remains one of the greatest RPGs of all time and an unsurpassed D&D experience. The improvements to the interface are fantastic, and if the new content gets the final wax-and-polish it deserves, it will be too.

Slapstick dismemberment is fun for a while, but Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior has neither the depth nor the polish to stay in the fight for long.

70 / 100 - Banished
Feb 21, 2014

A nice change of pace for city-builders, but it loses momentum once the immediate urgency of survival goes away.

I had high hopes for Moebius: Empire Rising, but while it shows early promise it ultimately falls far short of living up to it. I suspect that Jane Jensen has a good story to tell, but this is definitely not the way to go about it.

The previews looked fantastic, but the final release of Lifeless Planet fails to build that potential into a worthy game.

Shadowgate isn't just retro, it's retrograde, and the visual update really isn't as impressive as it first appears.

The tractors look great, but the rest of Farming Simulator 15 comes off like shovelware from 2012

60 / 100 - Toren
May 28, 2015

Toren is a good story that suffers in the telling, with simplistic platforming that's hampered by a sloppy camera and controls.

Legends of Eisenwald is a slightly rough-hewn romp through Germanic legend that's engaging and entertaining despite its lack of depth.

A warm and joyful adventure through a magical world; obtuse at times, but more interested in delighting than challenging.

Shadwen begins with promise, but has neither the depth nor the variety needed to fulfill it.

Touching, sad, and brilliant; a story worth forgiving the limited interactivity to experience.

An old-fashioned game in a shiny new package, The Bard's Tale 4: Barrows Deep is a worthy addition to a classic series.

Whispers of a Machine is like a good episode of your favorite police procedural: familiar and fun, no more and no less.
