	Counter-Strike: Global Offensive review (PC) Reviewed on December 10, 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 Pipe dream
	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...
	Zone of the Enders HD Collection review (PS3) Reviewed on November 08, 2012 When it comes to cool looking robots that have defined much of Japan's most popular cultural exports, Jehuty could easily be the sexiest.
	Assassin's Creed III review (X360) Reviewed on November 04, 2012 Shenmue on the Dreamcast was once the king of offering pointless, “life-like” diversions to punctuate downtime in its main storyline. It offered Ryo Hazuki, the game’s protagonist, such tantalizing options like collecting toy figurines, drinking soda pop, and driving a forklift to make a living. That game first saw release in Japan in 1999. Now that it is 2012, Ubisoft Montreal, the makers of Assassin’s Creed III, still have not come up with a better way to pass the time than by offering up m...
	Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days review (X360) Reviewed on November 02, 2012 Avoid Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days like you would a slavering rabies-infested hound, unless you want to see just how depressingly bad a modern videogame can be.
	Sweet Home review (NES) Reviewed on October 31, 2012 Regardless of Sweet Home's lacking challenge factor, the game still won my heart. As a lover of all things horror, from films to literature, playing an NES game that was as brutal as some of my favorite '80s fright flicks was a treat.
	DecapAttack review (GEN) Reviewed on October 31, 2012 DecapAttack, a 2D platformer on the Genesis, takes the general premise of Frankenstein and adds several twists to it.
	Zombie Nation review (NES) Reviewed on October 28, 2012 In a shooter, extremely loose controls serve only to infuriate gamers by adding an element of cheapness to the difficulty. This is precisely what the game does, and it pays for it in the end. Instead of an action-packed mixture of beauty and quirk, Zombie Nation is an unstable and tedious shooter.
	Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy review (3DS) Reviewed on October 27, 2012 Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy is a conventional plane game with straight-up aerial dogfights, taking place on Earth with a fictional alternate history, with a NATO-like organisation fighting to reclaim a member country usurped in a successful coup d'etat by rebels. Doing so takes you through 22 stages of action, some intense, some deliberately more passive.
	Haunted House review (A2600) Reviewed on October 27, 2012 I'll dare to say what other niche fans will consider blasphemy: Haunted House has aged poorly.
