The constant need to speed up, turn, avoid, or utilize level features at break neck speeds all conspire to make your moves instinctual. It's possible to get "in the zone," with this game, where you hit that Zen state where your hands know what to do faster than your brain does.
There's no denying the quality of FFX, as it's often hailed by some as the last "good" JRPG Square Enix has made in the last 15 years, but there's already a much cheaper, slightly blurrier version of this compilation out there on the PS3.
MachineGames' latest take on Wolfenstein is a very good shooter that is only a few missteps away from being, like its predecessor, a truly great one.
Needless to say, the 2013 release of Rockstar North’s Grand Theft Auto V generated a great deal of excitement.
At worst, it's a cautionary tale about getting too much money and getting too ambitious with that money.
Dead Synchronicity is an impressively dark, grimy, and uncomfortable excursion into a horrible and oppressive future.
Make no mistake, Shovel Knight is a classic, side-scrolling, retro platforming, and if that’s the kind of game you’re looking for, it’s one of the best out there.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China isn't terrible in any particular way. It is, from top to bottom, entirely middle of the road standard at best and its main attraction is the cheap selling price for a few hours of side-scrolling action.
Titan Souls is a throwback game from the team at Acid Nerve that plays heavily on two aspects.Nostalgia, and masochism.
This game deserves attention. It's a good addition to the rogue-like, and nobody else is going to get a chance to make rhythm-based games like this again. The bar's set pretty high after this.
The Charnel House Trilogy takes too long to get going and doesn't go very far when it does. Most of it is a dead bore.
Unfortunately, what's new is simply the blending of two old parts that don't work well enough in conjunction.
If you were a child of the 90s with a taste for blood, a videogame system, or a handful of quarters, then it's safe to say that you fell in love with Mortal Kombat.
The game is a brilliant and complete version of Dark Souls 2, with enough fresh content and tweaks to encourage veterans
If you're looking for an action-RPG with a substantial story to fill the Diablo void in your life, then Bastion will be right up your alley. It plays well, has a striking aesthetic, and a unique story.
As a game, Xenoblade is still one of the best JRPGs available in years, and on that front, any fan of the genre who's never played it should buy it immediately if there's a new 3DS in the house. As a port, however, it's a less than stellar job, and people spoiled on improved remasters of old games are in for an unpleasant surprise.
Pillars stands on its own as an immersive world and fun gameplay experience.
You might not feel blown away by The Show 15 with anything new, but you'll be blown away once more by everything that this series has done right for so long.
It's as much a living homage as it is a natural successor to Nintendo's 2D Metroid games.
Mario Party 9 and go straight to Mario Party 10.
