VGChartz's Reviews
As great as the characters are, as absorbing as the choices and moral directions continue to be, the series is in danger of becoming formulaic.
Tiny Brains is a solid puzzle game and a lot of fun with friends, but the high price, lack of puzzle variety, and short length hold it back from the PSN greats.
Sets a strong foundation from which to build on for the rest of the new hardware cycle.
Tearaway isn't the best platformer ever made, but it's quite possibly the happiest one, with a bright paper craft world that brings you in and a narrative that pulls at the heart strings.
There are not many games I feel compelled to return to after reviewing them, but Lego Marvel Super Heroes is the rare exception.
When the story is this abysmal and the multiplayer is this stagnant, there's really no reason to buy what basically amounts to a $60 multiplayer map pack, even if it does come with fifteen maps.
Super Mario 3D World is yet another instant classic from Nintendo.
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.
