Physics and control issues aside, it is hard not to recommend Tiny and Big. This is a bite-size downloadable title with kinks that need working out, but the freedom in both exploring and destroying is a breath of fresh air for anyone tired of linear titles. Most excitingly, this is...
Still, swinging through Manhattan as Spider-Man is a blast, and Web Rush is a great mechanic that begs further use. Yes, The Amazing Spider-Man is derivative and graphically underwhelming, but it's also breezily playable and cheerfully entertaining. It may be nothing more than a movie tie-in game, but The Amazing Spider-Man...
Those looking into Spec Ops: The Line are going to find a worthwhile game. While the gameplay could use a few tweaks, the story more than makes up for it. Unfortunately for multiplayer junkies, the single-player is the only draw here, as the online component just doesn't hold up. But...
The game may have been looked to as another revolutionary physics masterpiece from the mind behind Portal, but the result is far more approachable to both fans of platforming in general, and those who adored the spiritual predecessor. Either way, the experience is one that either group will absolutely want...
Ys Origin is hard to recommended rushing out to play, but for a six-year-old game -- and for the price -- it fares better than a lot of console role-playing games. Its decent, but predictable, storyline might not feel like an epic RPG experience, but the gameplay is so strong...
As it stands, it's difficult to recommend the game when so many other properties on both downloadable platforms offer much more fine-tuned and satisfying experiences for a similar price. The basics aren't poorly made or insulting, in fact, the artistic design never becomes unpleasing to look at. But the window...
For the rest of us, though, Mad Riders is a bit of a mess and lacks anything in the way of balance or polish. At times the game is pretty to look at but the detail flies by so fast, and the controls fight you the entire way, that not...
Dragon's Dogma has many flaws - and, in general, comes across as unpolished and unfinished. Some RPGs find themselves choosing between gameplay and story. The key to a successful RPG is finding a balance, but Dragon's Dogma chose to focus on an, admittedly excellent, combat system, leaving a story that is laborious to follow and uninspiring....
Awesomenauts is a game that walks a very difficult tightrope, and for the most part, does so with a good deal of success. Cracking the code and delivering a game that entices both the casual and hardcore crowd is no small feat, and Ronimo has done a (mostly) solid job....
A lot has been made of developer’s strides to incorporate the fluidity, control, and weight of an FPS into Max Payne 3’s third-person formula; with Bullet Time at its best, a rock-solid targeting system, and gorgeous physics, it possesses a killer finesse that any top-tier shooter can aspire to. It’s...
For fighting fans, Skullgirls has a lot to get excited about. At first glance the short roster and slim mode variety (the functional yet bare-bones online mode is adequate but doesn't offer any new ideas worth mentioning) may seem like a turn-off, but the knockout presentation, with personality to spare,...
Fable Heroes feels like a cash grab in the truest sense of the word — a game that has no business carrying the Fable moniker. While each entry in the franchise does fall short of some lofty expectations, they at least aspire to do something original. Fable Heroes, on the...
