Boost Beast review
Boost Beast tries to do something a bit different, but the results are more frustrating than they are enjoyable.

Piczle Lines DX review
Plot lines while using your finger like a pencil. That's the draw in the surprisingly addictive Pixle Lines DX.

Namco Museum review
Pac-Man VS. saves Namco Museum from being a disappointment, but still... why aren't there more games?

Some rough edges don't stop Splatoon 2 from offering a solid campaign and a multiplayer mode that keeps giving.

Titan's Tower review
Titan's Tower is frankly better than I expected, but not by a large enough margin to earn a recommendation.

Mighty Gunvolt Burst review
Mighty Gunvolt Burst is the perfect antidote to the sour taste Mighty No. 9 might have left in your mouth.

Castle of Shikigami review
Castle of Shikigami doesn't hold up as well as one might hope, but that doesn't seem to be this port's fault.

NBA Playgrounds review
Terrific highs are sabotaged by weak lows, resulting in an underwhelming throwback to arcade basketball's glory days.

A brief indie adventure with enough strong points to warrant your attention, if you're tired of the mainstream.
