It's almost hard to believe that a first-person shooter set 9,000 years before the invention of gunpowder could be this enjoyable.

Patience is indeed rewarded, but in a world where people expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter I am not sure Dragon's Dogma does enough that's enticing in order to keep people wanting more.

Poorly implemented controls and a poorly designed and rather uninspired rebooted version of the original arcade classic make it safe to pass on this Q*bert "reboot" and wait for the next one to come along.

Faithful to the manga, but lacks the modes of other Dynasty Warriors games.

A not-so-serious shooter for gamers that don't take themselves too seriously.

Far Cry Primal is such a unique and fresh experience that it just may become your favorite Far Cry game yet.

B movie humor can't entirely save B level gameplay.

Feels more like an incomplete beta than a full release.

An enjoyable enough Avengers game, but it needs to be more Tony Stark and less Bruce Banner.

Even though the light is dying for the people of Harran, this zombie game's light couldn't be brighter with this new enhanced edition of Dying Light.

Aside from being a fighter with a cast of anime and manga characters from Nitroplus, this game is quite a solid fighter overall.

PlayStation gamers finally get their chance to be a tank jockey in this enjoyable free-to-play shooter.

The mix of Metroidvania style gameplay and bullet hell boss fights is novel and interesting. I did enjoy the boss fights, but the stretches in between weren't as much fun.

Sword Art Online: Last Song might make some great strides forward, but it still isn't an easy game to recommend. The divergent storyline really stuck in my craw from the very beginning, and the tale didn't get much better from there.

The original generation of 8-bit gamers will love this collection.

Overall, I can easily recommend Legacy of the Void to any current StarCraft II player, and if you're new to StarCraft II then now is the perfect time to jump in and experience the full story arc. Blizzard has once again managed to add to an already great existing game, making it better and more complete without breaking anything that made the game great in the first place.

Combine the impatience of others and the almost endless random item grind and I do not see a casual audience getting swept away in the Warhammer hype by this game. Even Warhammer fans should make note that just because you may know the lore of the series it won't grant you a wonderful team experience ... but it may grant you some street cred to get you by.

The gameplay style is decidedly straight-forward action-RPG, and the game has you facing untold numbers of enemies that must be dispatched with button-mashing monotony.

If you like a good story, or simply want to return to Pandora one more time, the game is easy to recommend. If you're looking for something that you actively play more than you watch, then you should probably pass on Tales from the Borderlands.

Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster is easily the most unique of the old-school RE games and one that should be experienced if you're a fan of the series.

Unfortunately the best Darksiders collection can still be found on the last generation of consoles.

Party Hard really is a one-trick pony, and once you've seen that trick a few times you'll be ready for the next thing.

Dragon Quest Heroes isn't the best game of the holiday season, but it sure manages to carve out a nice niche for itself.

A great game wrapped in every action movie ever.

Taking everything into consideration, I'd have to say that while I like the novelty of the ghost enemies mimicking the player's actions, once that novelty wears off you begin to notice the cracks and things begin to feel repetitive. The challenge levels extend the game's life, but overall it's probably the kind of game that you'll play for a little bit and then not be particularly compelled to return to.

Mayan Death Robots certainly has its fun moments and there are some good ideas here that make it more than just another artillery game, but the execution is not quite there. Improved controls and a little more meat to the game would go a long way towards making the game more than the niche indie distraction that it is.

A space simulation taken where no developer has gone before.

It looks great, but it is in need of more substance behind the style.
