For a certain generation of players, it may be easy to forget that Prince of Persia started life in the days of floppy discs and cinematic platformers. Ubisoft’s The Sands of Time casts a long shadow over the entire franchise, so much so that it was easier for the publisher…
System Shock
While still firmly entrenched in '90s gameplay cliches, System Shock brings an old classic to life with a stunning new presentation.
Everspace 2 tells an interesting story in a massive galaxy that's worth exploring, even if the limitations of its scope creep in from time to time.
WWE 2K23
Just like the product on TV, 2K23 isn't perfect, but it's much improved, crowd-pleasing, and often enjoyable compared to the rocky past of the franchise.
Scars Above
Scars Above reaches for the stars but doesn't quite get there thanks to hum drum storytelling and passable shooting action.
Lone Ruin is a stylish good time while it lasts, but players will want more before too long.
Need For Speed Unbound is anything but. EA's latest is a bog-standard entry in the racing series with a muddled presentation and a limited feature set.
Gotham Knights has plenty of great ideas to shake up the Batman formula, but never quite gets them together for an all-star team-up. Instead, it's a forgettable game that will only please the most diehard DC fans.
Atari Mania is a mess that fails to recall the tight gameplay or pixilated wonder of Atari's past despite its inspired premise.
Metal: Hellsinger masters its genre mashup and provides metalheads and shooter fans alike with an innovative campaign they won't soon forget.
Preserving licensed games is a noble endeavor, and Digital Eclipse are the best in the business, but many of The Cowabunga Collection's inclusions are best left in the '90s.
Yars: Recharged will please fans of the 1981 original, but that isn't enough to excite in this day and age. Poorly implemented upgrades to aged mechanics and a flat presentation make this recharge run out of juice right out of the gate.
