	Final Fantasy XIII review (PS3) Reviewed on January 01, 2013 Final Fantasy XIII stands as a new kind of JRPG that rewards varieties of intelligent play and players who think on their feet.
	Panic! review (SCD) Reviewed on December 30, 2012 Panic! Is…a difficult game to explain, or even to understand. I have a feeling that it is a game that is very much like marmite, either you love it or you absolutely hate it. I happen to like it but there are a lot of things in it that I can imagine many people hating.
	New Super Mario Bros. U review (WIIU) Reviewed on December 29, 2012 New Super Mario Bros. U isn't just a bad title for a game but a misnomer as well.
	Dishonored review (PC) Reviewed on December 26, 2012 A fun, if disingenuous experience.
	Deathsmiles II X review (X360) Reviewed on December 24, 2012 Released on the Xbox 360 as a retail title in Japan, it did not meet the same fate elsewhere, dooming it, like so many standalone shoot-em-ups these days, as an NTSC J exclusive. However, the Cave-developed horizontal shooter still managed to find an outlet in the most interesting of places: Xbox Live's Games on Demand US service.
	Elements of Destruction review (X360) Reviewed on December 21, 2012 Getting laid off sucks, especially if you've dedicated 60 years of your life to a company. As the employer, there has to be a certain finesse to breaking the news to said person... hopefully.
	Silent Hill review (PSX) Reviewed on December 20, 2012 Silent Hill draws a map of the human psyche and at the edge of that map places a sign reading “Here be Monsters.”
	Hotline Miami review (PC) Reviewed on December 16, 2012 Trance out to some bopping electronic music and wipe the floor with thugs.
	Counter-Strike: Global Offensive review (PC) Reviewed on December 11, 2012 Defusal or death
	Batman Returns review (GEN) Reviewed on December 10, 2012 I somehow mistook Batman Returns' gloomy cold opening, where the Caped Crusader fights his way to the top of a building and failing to save the Ice Princess from a plunge, as a sign that this side-scrolling platformer might be good.
	NightSky review (3DS) Reviewed on December 09, 2012 Sometimes, the levels will blur together and proceed quickly, with little to no challenge. When the ball gets to rolling swiftly through these areas, you're offered a free and spirited look into the essence of Nightsky. It has come together; it meshes. I think NightSky would have been better suited not to be a puzzler; instead, perhaps it shouldn't have been a game at all, but rather an interactive story. Nicalis clearly knows how to tug at your heart, as all of the game's flaws will assured...
	Resident Evil 6 review (PS3) Reviewed on December 04, 2012 Somewhere amidst the zombies, the parasites, the secret organizations, Resident Evil has lost itself. You can tell that Capcom wanted Resident Evil 6 to be big; an homage to sixteen years of fandom. The problem is, they don’t know who they are appealing to any more.
	Hitman: Absolution review (X360) Reviewed on December 03, 2012 Execution is everything, and IO Interactive followed their own motto with this crafty piece of software.
	New Super Mario Bros. 2 review (3DS) Reviewed on December 02, 2012 Some people may be turned off by the game's seemingly flamboyant disregard for real change, but if you like Mario before, there's little reason to dislike this game.
	Mario Bros. review (ARC) Reviewed on November 30, 2012 For every time that I adapted to a situation, the game established new methods to disturb my equilibrium. For instance, it introduced new opponents like flies and crabs, the latter of which required two bumps to incapacitate. Dealing with those two, though, wasn't nearly as challenging or frustrating as navigating icy floors, which made the already-slick control response more difficult to work with.
	Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection review (PSP) Reviewed on November 19, 2012 Save point drama.
	Halo 4 review (X360) Reviewed on November 19, 2012 Thankfully, Halo 4's War Games excels with its improvements and tinkering to provide tremendous amounts of replay value. I haven't had this much fun with a Halo multiplayer since vanilla Halo 3, back in 2007.
	The Wonderful End of the World review (PC) Reviewed on November 18, 2012 At best, copying so much of a game could be argued as an homage. At worst, it's lazy, insincere and cheap, calling to mind generic brand food found in most supermarket
	Duke Nukem Forever review (MAC) Reviewed on November 13, 2012 No game can justify fourteen years of development and DNF is no different. If you see this game out for cheap in a Steam sale, it’s an entertaining singe-player game that, while often cringingly crude, is a respite from the more ‘realistic’ online-shooters like Call of Duty.
	Halo 4 review (X360) Reviewed on November 11, 2012 343 really does a good job of illustrating emotion and feeling between Master Chief and Cortana. I wholeheartedly mean that. A more amateur take on the dynamic between Master Chief and Cortana would lead to their relationship feeling as cheesy and forced as my making light of the situation above. But through subtle movement and expression – and excellent voice acting – I felt compelled to see how their story would conclude with the hope that Cortana would come out her rampancy all right. Thi...
