It’s not the greatest playing horror game, and some aspects feel extremely dated. However, Yuppie Psycho is undeniably worth playing for anyone that is looking for something weird and wants art to actually have something to say. In a field where so many titles are afraid to say anything meaningful at all and will willfully walk back any political commentary that gets included, it’s nice to see it emphatically underlined and bolded. This is certainly a weird trip, and while there are some stumbles along the way, it is one that should be embarked upon.

Gris is a mesmerizing puzzle platformer. You won’t want the experience to end, but when it does, it will stick in your head due to its poignant atmosphere and incredible visuals. It’s just a shame that it only lasted around three hours. The game’s beauty and quality make it easy to not want it to end.

These flaws are representative of where Eclipse Games went wrong with Tachyon Project—mostly every new twist they’ve made to the Geometry Wars formula they have aped is poorly executed. Considering you can buy Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved on PS4 and that the stellar alternative Super Stardust Ultra is also available on the platform, there’s no real reason to opt to play this inferior take on the twin-stick shmup genre if you’re already acquainted with its more successful predecessors. While it’s passable in terms of quality, it’s wholly derivative of its source of inspiration, and the attempts made by Eclipse Games to carve out its own identity mostly fall flat.

On a whole. Alien Spidy is a platformer whose fun gameplay is slightly overshadowed by its overly stringent level progression mechanic and iffy controls. It's not a bad buy for $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points) especially if you want a mindless perfection-based platformer to throw yourself against for a while.

The way Konami blends 2D and 3D Castlevania elements forces the franchise into very modern waters, away from the tried-and-true "whoops, the castle is mirrored now" and "head back 20 minutes after a boss" formula. It's not a total failure of the brand, but Mirror of Fate comes up short often enough to be disappointing for anyone heading into it with expectations based on recent 2D entries.

Deadlight has all the style, substance, and gameplay you could want, with none of the originality you need. The word "cliché" never left my mind, even for an instant. If you loved Limbo and want to recreate that experience, you could spend $15 on this, or you could just play the game you already own and have a much better time.

Invizimals really wants to be Pokémon, but takes away everything that was great about it. There isn't any customization or depth, the story is in FMV with bad actors performing a boring script, the capturing mini-games are broken, and the whole damn thing reminds me that I could be playing Pokémon instead. It has a few cool tricks with the camera, but this is simply an interactive tech demo... play it for a minute if you're buying the camera anyway, but it won't be plugged in for long.

I could spend paragraph after paragraph going on about how refreshing it is to see this type of game on Wiiware. NyxQuest respects the tenants of a classic platformer, and improves the formula by taking advantage of some of the Wii's unique features. It is a worthwhile adventure for 1,000 Wii Points that shouldn't be missed by anyone who appreciates a finely crafted, beautiful, and challenging game.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate is like it’s from Bizzaro world - traditionally, you get the good game or movie and then you get the shitty adaptation, but like The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, this game gets it all backwards. Maybe its Warner Bros. way of apologizing for how bad the movie was. I’d recommend this, but it’s incredibly brief (4-5 hours depending on individual ham-handedness) and the levels (good looking levels, mind you) are all short and same-y, and the game's childish obsession with swearing and guns just makes it shallow and only worth a rental at best.

Still, it’s hard not to like all the blood and gore. Germany rose to the occasion, banning the game from sale within its borders. And although it shouldn’t be censored for content (indeed, the gross content is about all it has going for it), Jericho won’t satisfy either those looking for a good scare or those looking for a good shooter.
