Shovel Knight review
An attempt to revive old school sensibilities that works much better than similar efforts often do.

ReignMaker review
It's a real shame the quality of the hybrid gameplay doesn't match the genius of the game's clever title.

Watch Dogs review
Someone at Ubisoft wants you to think long and hard about the hidden costs of a connected society.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe review
The Kirby formula is rather time-worn at this point, but this is still one of his finest adventures to date.

Urbanix review
There's a lot of content to clear in Urbanix and the design is generally inviting, but most of the experience is similar enough that you might not appreciate the volume.

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles review
A light gun game might not seem like an ideal match for Raccoon City's horrors, but it actually works out quite nicely overall.

The Witch and the Hundred Knight review
Come spend 80 hours doing your best to turn a beautiful world into a messy swamp, because Metallia said so.

Frogger Returns review
Frogger Returns remains true enough to its original iteration to offer a mostly satisfying trip down memory lane, and the multi-player content helps to justify the required investment.

EA Playground review
For whatever it's worth, sports themed mini-game collections for Wii don't generally get any better than this...

Guinness World Records: The Videogame review
Reasonably good fun as long as it lasts, but it won't set any records for longevity...

Call of Duty: Ghosts review
Call of Duty: Ghosts is a Call of Duty game for people who are in the mood for another Call of Duty game, but that's about it...

Putty Squad review
Putty Squad is a 20-year-old platformer that most people forgot about, and it turns out there's good reason for that.

Weapon Shop de Omasse review
Crafting weapons and renting them to a crew of JRPG heroes isn't nearly as thrilling as it sounds...

Pirates PlundArrr review
Failed attempts at balanced difficulty hold Pirates PlundArrr down, but they're not enough to sink the ship.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare review
Killer cactus plants, onion drone strikes and zombies with plumber's crack make for one seriously cool death match experience...

Party Pigs: FarmYard Games review
Pleasant visual design won't stop you from realizing almost immediately that this party is a stinker.

Impossible Mission review
There's not a lot to Impossible Mission, but the Wii update is still worth experiencing if you can find it for the right price.

Jelly Belly: Ballistic Beans is a sweet deal for puzzle fans, even if they're not in love with the candy.

Heathcliff: The Fast and the Furriest review
License-based shovelware that ranks among the Wii's very worst offerings.
