  1. Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2

    Xbox 360 · Jim Sterling · Feb 07, 2013

    Even so, there's no escaping the issue of this being a shameful followup to a genuinely great brawler. I like Koei, but I'm the first to admit it can cut corners wherever it feels able to get away with doing so -- and even for that particular studio, this is a notably substandard effort. Uglier, more boring, as stale as week-old French bread, Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 is best ignored by fans of both Dynasty Warriors and Hokotu no Ken alike.

  2. Dungeonland

    PC · Chris Carter · Feb 04, 2013

    Dungeonland is incredibly bright, with its unique usage of purple pastels in particular, but there's something about the design that doesn't really grab me. I'm not sure if it's the character designs or what, but it never transcended that "new IP" look during my time with it, even if I had a blast playing it. The music is fitting to the game's carnival-esque theme, even if it doesn't transcend into classic territory.

  3. Tokyo Crash Mobs

    3DS · Jonathan Holmes · Feb 03, 2013

    In terms of replay value, the game has a relatively lengthy "story" mode (took me about two and a half hours to get through), an endless challenge mode, and an appropriately difficulty to navigate movie gallery mode. If you play just for the story, you may find the game's $8 price tag to be a bit hefty, but if you plan on playing challenge mode, you'll get your money's worth.

  4. Omerta: City of Gangsters

    PC · Chris Carter · Feb 03, 2013

    If you're really into mafia movies and other cosa nostra flavored dealings, you might get some pure novelty enjoyment out of it on a Steam sale, provided you can put up with the repetitive nature of the game. For everyone else, it's probably best to "forgettaboutit".

  5. Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Revolution

    Xbox 360 · Chris Carter · Feb 01, 2013

    All in all, Revolution is not the best way to start off one of the best selling games of all time's $50 Season Pass. Although I don't feel like I would have wasted my cash outright, I do feel a little disappointed that there wasn't more bang for your buck here.

  6. Little Inferno

    Wii U · Jonathan Holmes · Feb 01, 2013

    Some may complain that the game is too short or is overpriced. They'd be missing the point, which is arguably part of the Little Inferno concept. As for me, I feel that the game is a bargain at $15. It's the only game of its type on the market today. I can't think of the last time that a game has made me think, feel, and laugh at such a consistent pace. It's mix of high-concept messages and simple, more-fun-than-it-should be "gameplay" make it a must buy for anyone who likes thinking about videogames and/or burning things.

  7. Antichamber

    PC · Patrick Hancock · Jan 31, 2013

    Antichamber is a unique and delightful first-person puzzle game that relies a bit too much on the wrong kind of puzzles. The plot is intentionally vague and some players may completely ignore it, but it hardly detracts from the overall experience. Antichamber looks great, is confusing in all the right ways, and may change the way people approach not only videogame puzzles, but real life obstacles as well.

  8. Euro Truck Simulator 2

    PC · Jim Sterling · Jan 31, 2013

    A far cry from some of the more technical and unforgiving sims on the market, Euro Truck is as welcoming as it is authentic, forgiving while still prepared to reprimand those who fail. It's one of the best jumping points anybody curious about sims could have, and for everybody else, it's still just a damn fine experience in its own right.

  9. Skulls of the Shogun

    PC, Xbox 360 · Chris Carter · Jan 30, 2013

    While Skulls of the Shogun does a great job of offering a decent amount of units, there's no inherent "wow" factor when it comes to gameplay. Although the traditional grid is tossed in favor of a circular movement shadow, it still feels about the same as the genre always has, minus the game's visual and vocal charm. Most units don't really have "spells" in the traditional sense that carry from map to map. There's no real RPG progression system or anything to work for.

  10. Fire Emblem Awakening

    3DS · Chris Carter · Jan 30, 2013

    While Fire Emblem: Awakening may not turn the notch up to 11, it's everything that's right about strategy RPGs. Whatever options you choose to go with at the beginning of the game, it's either one of the most accessible strategy games to date, or one of the most difficult.
