As one of the first eShop releases of 2015, Chariot is a fine adventure to kick off the year. It's a unique take on the physics-based platformer that feels fresh and inspired. While the overt focus on co-op might make it less appealing to the solo gamer, it's still a...
Still, Skylanders Trap Team's main gameplay is very mediocre. At its best, it's a passable 3D platformer, and at its worst, it's a stiffly controlled and boring mess. The other gameplay aspects, that is, the focused villain challenges and Skystones card game, are fun, but it's not enough to wash...
Even if you never touched a Mega Man Zero or ZX game or don't know who Inti Creates is, you should check out Azure Striker Gunvolt. All you need to know is that it is a great action platformer that introduces awesome new ideas while oozing with style, personality, and...
Following up on the success of Unlimited, Scribblenauts Unmasked is a huge disappointment. The use of the DC Comics license is novel, but it doesn’t add up to anything more than a curiosity in a game that already has enough curiosity to go around. The attempts at story and a...
I’m completely taken by aspects of Disney and Avalanche Software’s opening toys-to-life salvo. More so than any other game, it feels like you’re playing with toys in a whimsical and nostalgic sandbox where you can fool around in whatever way you want. I wish it had more variety, as the...
Mostly because of how hidden the new content is, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is a remake that feels redundant, even more so because the original game is less than three years old. If you missed out on the original, by all means check out the 3DS version for a...
Tekken Tag 2 was a great game before it hit Wii U, and on the system, it’s a little bit better, even if the improvements are largely on the periphery. The game might not be ideal for newcomers, but it is likely the best Tekken game available, so if you’ve...
If you’re a Madden veteran, you probably made your platform decision this year. As such, I can’t recommend you get this game, as it is, at best, only comparable to what’s already available. However, Madden NFL 13 on Wii U shows the potential for football games on the system. The...
If you’re invested in Skylanders already, the 3DS version of Giants is still worth getting. It’s yet another fun adventure for you and your figures. I’d highly recommend you check out the previous 3DS game or the versions of the game on consoles if you’re just getting into the series,...
Mario Kart PC
Mario Kart 7 isn’t a huge leap forward for the series. Instead, it’s another damn fine iteration in a proven series. You’ll still be upset when you’re “Mario Karted” by a blue shell followed up by a red shell and a bomb, but the winning online play and gameplay polish...
EAD Tokyo’s 3DS debut is marvelous, and filled with almost endless creativity. The control and graphical quirks are a little off-putting, but more because we’re so accustomed to 3D and side-scrolling Mario being separate things. Super Mario 3D Land combines the two, and it works well. If you own a...
Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition is a complete package that features all the content of past Street Fighter IV titles and more. If you've played Super Street Fighter IV to death, you might just want to stick to your arcade stick on your 360. However, if you're a lapsed...
