If you don’t mind the short campaign and the underwhelming story, Evil West’s above average combat and cool graphics make the game a fun ride.
The newest Dark Pictures game tries some new things and offers some good scares despite not out-doing previous entries by much.
WRC Generations lacks the depth and polish of its simulation counterparts but still delivers a fun capstone to the several WRC games that lead up to it.
Despite dropping the ball in one of the most important categories for a modern fighting game, this is a fighting game that stands out from the pack, plays great, and honors its source material more than it needed to, and that certainly counts for something.
Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed has been brushed up nicely despite some inconsistent performance and prolific bugs.
Midnight Fight Express is a surprisingly fun and rewarding beat-em-up that gives you more choices than you might expect.
Hard West 2 brings the original game’s ideas to full fruition while sacrificing very little in doing so.
Arcadegeddon has solid gun play mechanics and a setting that most will appreciate but its generic structure and lack of enemy variety hold it back from truly shining.
