The massive world is great, and the amount of content is almost daunting. Technical things aside, this is one rather impressive game when you get to the bottom of it. Zombie fans both in action and in strategy will find a decent time here. Just remember, the camera will fight you, and some glitches will pop up, but if you can make it through that, it is one unique zombie game.

What it shows is that you can still have a charming, colorful, platform game based around boosting and jumping mechanics. The levels are quick to play but hard to master. Boss battles are fun, requiring timing and interesting was of using the mechanics. While Jump Jet Rex might not be the longest game ever, it’s hard to deny the amount of fun there is to be had with a Dino and a pair of jet boots.

Mortal Kombat X is the next step in the series. While not quite as impressive as 2011’s reboot, this is easily my favorite game of 2015 so far, and I have a hard time believing it will be topped. The sheer amount of content packed in, the promise of more coming in the future, and just how much fun it is to play both alone and with friends means it will be locked in my disc tray for months to come.

With the enemy placement changed, it really does offer a newer challenge to veteran players, and while the double weapon degradation is really, really annoying, it can be managed. It’s just going to take a lot of backtracking. PC players that have already played the game and DLC are the ones that will maybe think twice before going through it again, while Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players will get the most out of it.

The core of Stealth Inc 2 is just as fun and compelling as the original, and the new gadgets add a unique twist to each section of levels. While the lack of cross-save is disappointing, it’s really the overworld that holds the game back, and it felt like the broccoli that I had to get through in order to earn the cookies that were the test chambers.

At the end of the day, Omega Quintet is a solid first effort on the PS4 for IF/Compa with a neat premise and an enjoyable combat engine. All that’s left to do to move forward is to be rid of this archaic progression structure and before we know it, they could very well become a powerhouse in the JRPG arena.

Goat Simulator is the definition of dumb fun. It serves no purpose other than to entertain. I have derived far too many hours of enjoyment out of a game with little purpose. It is another sign that gaming has changed, and we are able to enjoy disasterpieces like this one. If you enjoy just toying around in a glitch-field world, and love to smile, Goat Simulator should definitely be on your list of games to play this Spring.

I didn’t complete Tower of Guns and I don’t ever intend to. It completely lacks any sort of inspiration or gameplay to warrant me to continue. It has a very old school look and feel, but it’s something I can’t get into with its weak weapons and enemies, flat aiming, off jumping, lack of weapon feedback and more. The only thing worth noting was some upgrades and the sense of progression it gives, albeit small.

I was intrigued by Titan Souls when I first heard of it but at the same time, I was skeptical thinking that it might just be a silly little indie game trying to cash in on the “Souls” popularity as of late. After my playthrough, I can safely say that while this is certainly no souls game, it’s one worthy of the time of anyone who seeks a truly rewarding challenge.

Let’s be honest here, many of you are going to upgrade every year regardless of what is added or changed. For those of you that look for major changes before jumping on board, I do think this year’s changes on PS4/PS3 are well worth the purchase. I’d love to see the series invest time next year in adding features to the Road to the Show mode and continuing to focus on making the most accurate simulation possible.
