	The Witcher review (PC) Reviewed on July 22, 2013 This is still Tolkienesque fantasy to the bone. You can throw around made-up words like "vodyanoi" and "Scoia'tael" all you like, but it doesn't change the fact that the elves are slender woodland-dwellers and the dwarves are Scottish beer-drinkers and wow does this all feel familiar.
	Ninja Commando review (NEO) Reviewed on July 20, 2013 You guuyyyyssss, don't ruin my scheme! Get lost!
	Final Fantasy III review (SNES) Reviewed on July 11, 2013 Oh, the beautiful white text of high damage numbers.
	Machinarium review (PS3) Reviewed on July 10, 2013 Machinarium’s Dr. Suess-esque world, serene music, and thought provoking puzzles make this one of the most rewarding puzzle games I have ever played.
	Altered Space: A 3-D Alien Adventure review (GB) Reviewed on July 08, 2013 The game dumps you off in a small room, expecting you to travel through several rooms in many different possible paths until you find an elevator or teleporter that takes you to the next level. The game takes an isometric perspective, with developers Software Creations having also created the isometric Solstice for the NES. Problem: the NES was a console that sent visual and audio data to a TV screen, and had colour. The Game Boy had a pea-green screen that was only 2 inches across.
	Heavyweight Championship Boxing review (GB) Reviewed on July 05, 2013 Heavyweight Championship Boxing was the first boxing game on a Nintendo handheld. With no real predecessor to look at, developers TOSE were required to design the game interface and hope their vision did not flop on arrival. Heavyweight Championship Boxing turned out surprisingly decent.
	Mass Destruction review (SAT) Reviewed on July 03, 2013 Really, all you need is one brief inspection of Mass Destruction's case to get a very good idea of what you're getting for your money. Want something briefer? How about: a game called Mass Destruction.
	The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim review (PS3) Reviewed on July 02, 2013 Shout... Shout... Let it all out...
	Final Fantasy IX review (PSX) Reviewed on July 01, 2013 In all of its pretty, purposeful pastiche, it forgets it needs to be something playable.
	The Last of Us review (PS3) Reviewed on June 30, 2013 Instead, Joel’s personal motives are called into question. As his protection of Ellie becomes more and more desperate, the astute gamer will not be able to escape wondering whether Joel is trying to replace his own lost family with this little girl—leading her into an unbalanced emotional reliance in the process.
	LEGO City Undercover review (WIIU) Reviewed on June 24, 2013 Lego City: Undercover is a game I recommend for all the Wii U owners that have been waiting for a new game since launch. The game is hilarious and is fun to play for all ages, for both the casual and hardcore.
	Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan review (3DS) Reviewed on June 24, 2013 Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titans is a wonderful throwback to retro RPGs. The game is challenging, incredibly long, and employs a wealth of monsters and items.
	Ghost Squad review (WII) Reviewed on June 24, 2013 At a glance, Ghost Squad doesn't seem all too different from yesteryear's Virtua Cop 1 & 2, which the game openly borrows from.
	Half-Life 2: Episode Two review (PC) Reviewed on June 21, 2013 Just in case the conclusion to the Half-Life story doesn’t come into fruition whatsoever, it has at least quit while it’s ahead here. Much of the action that made Half-Life 2 enjoyable has been condensed into an intense adventure.
	Silent Hill review (PSX) Reviewed on June 21, 2013 Widely considered one of the greatest survival horror games ever, does it really hold up today?
	Rhythm Heaven Fever review (WII) Reviewed on June 15, 2013 "As long as you have fun, that's the main thing."
	Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II review (PC) Reviewed on June 10, 2013 Episode II is a good quality, smooth flowing platform game filled with new and retro elements fans will enjoy. It’s going to need to become more than a sum of its parts if it wants to compete in this modern gaming era though.
	FlingSmash review (WII) Reviewed on June 06, 2013 Seeing it from a general consumer's point of view, it's easy to understand why one would pass: an unknown IP starring what looks like a smiley-faced dodgeball with a ponytail, featuring what appears to be uninspired gameplay that could get repetitive fast.
	Sleeping Dogs review (PS3) Reviewed on June 06, 2013 Sleeping Dogs, from United Front Games and Square Enix, is a Grand Theft Auto clone with Batman: Arkym City’s combat and Burnout’s driving.
	Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I review (PC) Reviewed on June 02, 2013 Sonic's 'successor' to the Mega Drive series is certainly not fatally broken, and can be entertaining. It’s a smooth retro-style platformer to casually jump around in, with varied levels and little interesting twists. However the new physics makes things slightly worse, and clumsy design decisions and some uninspiring levels prevent this being the ultimate Sonic return.
