Unlocking every weapon and bonus mission while getting a perfect mission ranking extends Ground Zeroes' appeal a bit, but Kojima Productions isn't kidding when they call it a "prologue." Don't expect it to last longer than a weekend. Ground Zeroes is definitely fun while it lasts, and it offers an interesting taste of what is to come in Phantom Pain. As appetizers go, it's terrific. Just don't expect a full meal.??

Though it does a handful of things right, Ninja Gaiden Z is overshadowed by a litany of awful design decisions. There's just no getting around the fact that it's a wretchedly bad action game. Even the most dedicated Ninja Gaiden fans should avoid this one.

Project Diva f is a beautiful-looking game with the sole exception of the inside of each Vocaloid's mouth, which is, bizarrely, a yawning, texture-free abyss. A perfect fit for Vita, Project Diva f is a sprawling, complete-feeling package that will be of particular interest to Vocaloid enthusiasts, but which also remains accessible and enjoyable to newcomers.

There's no other way to describe it but "super cute." The controls do feel ever so slightly more sluggish than the original SNES game's, and the zoomed-in view can be a nuisance, but these aren't enough to ruin the experience. Yoshi's New Island may not be the game we fans of the original want, but it's definitely the game its creators set out to make. And a lot of fun, too. It's hard to be cynical about that.

Even more surprising, the game is still balanced no matter how you choose to play. It's multiplayer-only, so strict single-player gamers need not apply, but if you're open Titanfall has a lot to offer.

Dark Souls II provides the best of both worlds: an admirable sequel for series veterans, and a perfect jumping-on point for gamers who've shied away from From Software's RPG brand until now. And if you're afraid of the series' tough-as-nails reputation, From has made sinking into Souls addiction a much more effortless process. You just have to let Dark Souls II break you first.

Once you realize there's no meat to Disco Zoo, you'll discard it quickly. Until then, it can be an enjoyable diversion, but nothing more. A polished title with a couple of nice ideas completely undermined by boring mechanics and obtrusive, game-breaking monetization.

Two classic RPGs in a single package. As games, they're enjoyable; as historical artifacts, they say a great deal about the different directions Final Fantasy would take in the following years. Despite the visual update and the "new" material, this anthology falls just short of essential, but games don't have to be great to be worth playing. Sometimes, entertaining is enough.

Walking Dead Season 2, Episode 2 ratchets up the stakes and pulls Clementine into different directions emotionally and physically. Some tense action sequences, engrossing dialog, and the addition of a formidable threat to everyone makes "A House Divided" a solid chapter despite its short three-hour running time. When it comes to storytelling, Telltale is still one of the best in the business and this episode doesn't betray that reputation.

How long you'll stick with it will depend on your patience for roguelikes; the challenge factor will keep you coming back for at least a few attempts, though, and its procedurally generated nature means every playthrough is at least a little different from the last. A sprawling, easy to play but surprisingly deep jaunt through the stars -- and one with a beautifully crafted atmosphere sure to keep you coming back for more.
