It doesn't live up to its considerable promise, but Empire TV Tycoon is great for a few short bursts of tycoon-lite gameplay. It shows sparks of brilliance, but poor localization and a lack of simulative depth prevents Empire from being something truly special.
Vortex Attack doesn't break the arcade shooter mold, and it doesn't have to. The simple mechanics, combined with a fun variety of enemies to disintegrate, lead to chaotic and addictive battles. Varied ships, power-ups, and bonuses give it high replay value, and it allows for same-screen multiplayer (a rarity in this age). Overall, it's cheap, it's fun, and I highly recommend it.
Funk of the Titans is undoubtedly one of the Xbox One's worst games. It's unfunny comedy does nothing to make it's boring and uninspired gameplay more bearable.
