7.5 / 10.0 - NES Remix
Feb 6, 2014

NES Remix is like a museum that has mucked around with its exhibits to great effect. It's a wonderful, lunatic, quirky offering that offers Nintendo's past through a new lens and new perspective, adding some substance to our nostalgia.

Island Tour retards the Mario Party formula, removing all the new features of Mario Party 9, while giving very little back to help keep players engaged.

8 / 10.0 - Strike Vector
Feb 4, 2014

Strike Vector is an excellent arena shooter with unique ideas and great gameplay that's held back by a lack of maps and modes, and a poor tutorial. Still, this is an excellent game and fans of arena shooters should definitely check it out.

Octodad: Deadliest Catch is a silly game with a silly yet simple idea, and it works well in just being that.

6 / 10.0 - Dr. Luigi
Jan 28, 2014

At a lower price, it would have been a good game worthy of recommendation, but at this price, stay away- there's better things on the Wii U eShop that deserve your attention anyway.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is a tough sell for those who have already embarked on Lara's adventure, but those who have never played it will find a lot to like here, and the numerous upgrades make this the best version available to those without access to a gaming PC.

Simply put, Max is a fantastic indie game and a far better purchase than many of the others currently available for download. In Curse of Brotherhood, Xbox One has a fun, good-looking platformer at a budget price. Highly recommended.

6 / 10.0 - Shadow Warrior 2
Jan 1, 2014

Decidedly old-school but feeling a bit uninspired, Shadow Warrior 2 is fun for some straightforward co-op action. It could have been more but what's there is good enough.

7 / 10.0 - War Thunder
Dec 10, 2013

War Thunder is a good game with a lot of potential, but a slew of small problems make it hard to recommend to players who aren't already fans of the genre.

5 / 10.0 - Crimson Dragon
Dec 6, 2013

Crimson Dragon had the potential to be a AAA digital title for the Xbox One. Instead, it fails to deliver solid gameplay and it's also riddled with technical issues that drag the experience further down.

Play your part in protecting the Roman Empire as legionnaire Marius Titus, a man with a thirst for revenge and a penchant for particularly gory execution moves. Ryse Son of Rome could have been a great game but its repetitive gameplay holds it back from greatness.

Killzone: Shadow Fall is not only a technical showcase for the PlayStation 4, but it also manages to provide a intriguing single player campaign backed up by a strong multiplayer component. However by playing it safe, Guerrilla Games have taken the franchise a few steps back.

7.5 / 10.0 - Killer Instinct
Dec 2, 2013

Killer Instinct is a beautiful, fun and entertaining fighting game. But the lack of fighters and arcade mode is sorely disappointing.
