Fire Pro Wrestling on Xbox Live Arcade is the most basic of wrestling games. Flat, featureless, and simplistic, it is devoid of any redeeming qualities found elsewhere such as replay value or fun. What could have been a cool, cartoon-y version of a classic franchise is but a wasted shell of its former self.

Like Rayman Jungle Run, Joe Danger Touch really "gets it" when it comes to iOS gaming. You don't need to 100% replicate console experiences, and "simplified" doesn't have to always mean "dumbed down." All in all, Hello Games did a great job bringing the Joe Danger franchise to your pocket, and I highly recommend it to anyone -- former fan or not.

Gunman Clive can be pretty tough. In your average oppressive 2D action game, a motivating, beat-driven soundtrack can really help you push through the process of replaying a level for the tenth time. When Gunman Clive's soundtrack goes for old west authenticity instead of platformer euphoria, it can make the more challenging parts of the game feel less like a battle and more like a grind. cash.

Street Fighter X Mega Man is not the best or most polished Mega Man game around, but it's solid effort by a very dedicated fan. I hope it does it well enough to convince Capcom that there is life yet in this franchise. In the meanwhile, just enjoy the crossover fun for its cleverness and not its missteps.

Although there are a number of hang-ups, and the audience is decidedly niche, Crimson Shroud is an incredibly unique game that will satisfy table-top fans everywhere. While I didn't get into the story as much as Matsuno probably hoped I would, I had a great time hanging out with Giauque and crew in this incredibly well-crafted RPG.

At the end of the day, there's not much to Black Knight Sword. It's a platformer, it's kind of weird, and it doesn't really do anything new. When I was finally finished with the game's controller-flingingly hard final boss, I kind of looked at the screen and went "Huh, that was nice." I guess I'm a little numb to Grasshopper's tendency to exploit the world of weird, but either way, I did enjoy my brief time on stage, and fans of old-school platformers should too.

I hate using the term "mixed bag," but Midway Arcade Origins really is exactly that. A decent sampling of some classic titles that mostly control well with very limited options, and a few games that will leave you scratching your head at their inclusion (or exclusion, as the case may be). For those that remember these games, it's a great bit of nostalgia.

With an initial lukewarm offering, and a bite-sized forgettable second outing, I was starting to write off the prospect of good Skyrim DLC. Dragonborn proves that Bethesda can not only still produce, but that they haven't forgotten their roots either. I can't wait to see what they have in store next.

PlanetSide 2 is a wonderful experience, but I really wish it weren't a free-to-play experience. If perhaps it was given a legitimate price tag and had a more traditional unlocking system, it would feel more open to the player. The free-to-play model does serve as one of the few motivations in the game, however, since there are no real long-term goals to be seen. When you step back and ask yourself "Why?", there is no clear answer. Despite these shortcomings, it would be a mistake not to recommend PlanetSide 2 to anyone who thinks their PC can handle it.

Take heed in this caveat, as Uncharted: Fight for Fortune is a card game that happens to feature Uncharted -- not the other way around. Nathan Drake isn't going to leap out of his card and crack wise, and Sully isn't going to beat up the other player for you with a QTE. In order to enjoy this game, you have to be more than just an Uncharted fan: you have to have an affinity towards card games, plain and simple.
