Available Reviews
	3D Altered Beast review (3DS) Reviewed on December 12, 2013 No amount of 3D is going to make Altered Beast very good.
	Peggle 2 review (XB1) Reviewed on December 11, 2013 Peggle 2 proves that it's still fun to fire balls at colored pegs and hope for the best.
	3D Sonic the Hedgehog review (3DS) Reviewed on December 06, 2013 The last version of Sonic 1 you'll ever need.
	Contrast review (PC) Reviewed on December 03, 2013 When I first saw the trailer for Compulsion Games’ Contrast, I was instantly hooked. As a fan of film noir, I thought it looked absolutely stunning and showed a lot of promise. After finally getting my hands on it, though, what I originally pegged as a potential game of the year candidate is now high on my list of the same period’s biggest disappointments.
	Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict review (GG) Reviewed on December 01, 2013 As the game progresses, the fights start getting pretty tough. By the time you've reached the final handful, virtually every foe will come at your guys with damaging long-range area-of-effect spells, making it impossible to avoid taking massive amounts of damage.
	Forza Motorsport 5 review (XB1) Reviewed on December 01, 2013 The flagship title for a very expensive piece of hardware really shouldn't be thinner rehash of an experience that's already been available for years, should it?
	Super Mario 3D World review (WIIU) Reviewed on November 28, 2013 The developers at Nintendo were brave enough to make variety a mandate and they were skilled enough to ensure that every element contributes something exciting to the whole. The result is my personal pick for the greatest 3D platformer to date.
	Resogun review (PS4) Reviewed on November 27, 2013 Sit up, look at the screen and save the last humans, or else.
	LocoCycle review (XB1) Reviewed on November 25, 2013 Every mechanic is walled off from the next; a mission could begin with a Shooting Segment and then move on to a Hand-to-Hand Combat Segment before concluding with a Succession of Quick-Time Events.
	Rain Blood Chronicles: Mirage review (PC) Reviewed on November 23, 2013 Wuxia May Cry
	Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag review (X360) Reviewed on November 22, 2013 "Give us feedback," Ubisoft demands. Fair enough. Maybe now they'll finally get the message that these stupid tailing missions have got to go.
	Kouryuu Densetsu Villgust Gaiden review (NES) Reviewed on November 22, 2013 And in case you were wondering, Murobo stepped in and obliterated the final boss’s end phase in about two hits while laughing off any of its attempts to attack him. That only serves to further illustrate the disparity between characters.
	Blood Knights review (PC) Reviewed on November 21, 2013 A good example of how bad sound design can really hurt a game.
	AquaPazza: AquaPlus Dream Match review (PS3) Reviewed on November 20, 2013 A simple and very pretty fighting game that will appeal primarily to people who like seeing anime girls beat up on one another.
	XCOM: Enemy Within review (PC) Reviewed on November 18, 2013 The biggest difference is that you can now do all of this with mechs, because if you're going to add one thing to a winning formula, it should probably be mechs.
	Knack review (PS4) Reviewed on November 18, 2013 Knack isn't the single game that ought to convince you to buy a PlayStation 4, but it's a compelling experience that should stand the test of time.
	Killzone: Shadow Fall review (PS4) Reviewed on November 17, 2013 It's easy to praise Killzone: Shadow Fall for being gorgeous, but you'll have to search a bit harder to find other things to love about it.
	Silent Hill Downpour review (PS3) Reviewed on November 17, 2013 Written in crayon, broken beyond repair, offering pre-watershed scares, and headlined by Korn.
	Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures review (WIIU) Reviewed on November 14, 2013 Pac-Man's cartoony new platforming adventure doesn't do as good a job as one might hope of getting into the spirit of things.
	Blood of the Werewolf review (PC) Reviewed on November 13, 2013 Never come between a wolf and her cub...
