VGChartz's Reviews
It is a grand game in its own right and deserves its place alongside the best in its franchise.
Ryse is a rather short, repetitive, beautiful game that is going to be a tough sell for many while others will adore it.
Dead Rising 3 is one of the deserved stars of the launch line up, despite the fact that it leaves plenty of room for improvement and there are minor flaws abound.
The gunplay is uninspired and the multiplayer has been detrimentally cut down, but the presentation is truly something to behold for console gamers.
If you have enough friends with the 3DS or 2DS, Mario Party: Island Tour becomes a fun title that's probably worth picking up. But if your social group lacks the necessary hardware or interest, the game becomes a barren experience that can only hold your interest for a short time.
Knack has a few good ideas scattered throughout, but it is never able to pick up the pieces.
Need For Speed Rivals is decently fun, but marred by underwhelming presentation, an insanely stupid story, unfair AI, and repetition.
It's a great game that only really suffers from not featuring enough levels.
While series enthusiasts might find Batman and his utility belt a bit lacking due to the absence of certain gadgets and the lack of a proper leveling system, the item based progression and good amount of upgrades for Batman's gadgets, suit, and gauntlets do just about enough to make up for it during the 10-11 hour main story.
Super Motherload does exactly what it sets out to do: create a fun little digging game that belies its dark storyline.
It is an unfortunate reminder of the struggles of 21st century Sonic titles and may have started a new cycle of series mediocrity.
Pokémon X and Y is an enjoyable but uneven experience.
Rayman Legends is a remarkable step up from its already excellent predecessor.
Rayman Legends is a master platformer, with variety and style that could even make Nintendo's iconic plumber stand up and take notice.
Outlast is a shining example of the horror genre.
I hope you're ready to once again explore Seattle's futuristic slums, for Shadowrun Returns is definitely a return to form after the basterdized "revival" of 2007.
Platformers have enjoyed a resurgence in recent years thanks to a multitude of great games, yet Cloudberry Kingdom aims to outlast them all.
Dota 2 has its claws dug well and truly deep within me... I have a hard time imagining anything due for release in the next few years will eclipse Dota 2 in my mind's eye.
I don't think Project X Zone is a bad game overall, but it's certainly not the great game I was hoping for; the repetitiveness of the battles and the nonsensical storyline saw to that.
There are a few moments of enjoyable fun to be had within the walls of Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move, but they're a bit too fleeting.
