At this point, most of us have probably played some kind of bridge construction game, and in that regard, there isn't a whole lot new that BCP is bringing to the table. That being said, the mechanics of the game are solid, and there's definitely an element of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Adding to that is the fact that once you've finished off...
FFXV Pocket Edition is definitely not the most satisfying gaming experience you'll ever have. The free-to-play structure means, perhaps like me, you bought this game thinking that it was a free 1000gs, since the need to purchase chapters 2-10 is not advertised anywhere until you're inside the game. That being said, for $20 or so, you...
Yeah so... title pretty much says it all. The classic Windows time waster is back once again. Minesweeper isn’t a tough completion, but it will take some grinding. As with the majority of the Microsoft Casual series, daily challenge medals are back once again, and unless you do some system clock manipulation, you’re in a for a year-long grind....
Heart Box is not really bringing anything new to the table. Pretty standard physics puzzler ala Cut the Rope, but that’s not to say it’s just some cheap ripoff. Heart Box does introduce a few new fun mechanics to the genre, and with 200 unique levels (or as many as 800 if you want to count each of the 4 game variants for each level separately) to...
Credit to the Rare team for trying something new on their third BK outing, but I have to say they didn't completely hit the mark. There are still some fun platforming elements, and having an actual point to the collectibles (more vehicle parts) rather than collecting for the sake of collecting like in the previous two games is a nice...
I was surprised by how fun this game was for what it is. Not a great game by any means, but the concept is actually pretty cool. Harm's Way is a racing game where you have the option of either being in a vehicle racing or being in a turret on the periphery of the race track trying to take out racers. The controls are clunky, the graphics...
I was kinda surprised at how much fun this game was. It popped up on Games with Gold, looked like an easy 1000/1000, so I gave it a download and loaded it up. I was right that it's fairly simple, but even though I was too old to have grown up with Adventure Time and never really watched it, this game has surprisingly good mechanics and a lot of charm. It's a...
MUA definitely has its charm. With many Marvel characters to choose from and plenty of lore to explore, any Marvel fan will enjoy this game to some extent. That being said, MUA suffers from a lot of the problems that movie tie-in games suffer from despite not being one. Glitches, while not rampant, can lock you out of achievements and...
If you like Pokemon, odds are you'll like this game. There are some very similar mechanics at play in terms of collecting dragons with different elemental types, battling enemies, and putting those type advantages to good use to work your way through the adventure map. You'll be able to finish the game without ever spending money, and it...
This game is truly terrible. Infinite runners are already pretty boring after about 5 minutes, but this one is so bogged down with glitches that finishing it is a truly herculean feat. The daily challenge system is broken, so you will never advance and collect the advertised bonuses, and the game will routinely crash on you out of the blue, possibly ruining achievement-earning...
This game is terrific. All in all, there is 10,000 gs up for grabs with Rare Replay. Yep, ten thousand. The game itself only lists 4,000, but included with the game are download... vouchers, I guess? So in addition to the 4k available in the base game, you also get Jetpac Refuelled, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, and Perfect Dark, each of which are worth 200gs,...
I don't quite know how I feel about this game. It isn't good, that's for sure. But it isn't bad either, that's also for sure. As you might have guessed from the name (and from the fact that probably 90% of people playing this got it through Rare Replay), this is a reboot/remaster of the oldschool Jetpac game for Atari. The mechanics and premise are the same...
If you've played Viva Piñata before, there are no surprises in store here. This is almost a carbon copy of the original with a little more variety in species, plants, and items. As such, there isn't much I can say about the gameplay that wasn't already said in my review of the original (click over there if you're interested and give me an upvote if you're feeling...
I generally try to go somewhat into depth with my reviews, but there just really isn't much to say about Wordament. It's Microsoft's version of Boggle. If you've played Microsoft Ultimate Word Games, it's just the Wordament portion of that with virtually no changes whatsoever. You'll run through a few game types to clean up some miscellaneous achievements, but...
Ok, so I'll kick this off by saying that this is a free game worth 1000gs, no Gold account required, and you can 100% the whole thing in maybe 3 hours max. It's absolutely worth your time. I'm really excited to write this review because this game is just... so... I don't have the words. To really explain what makes this game so terrific, I have to spoil...
So I'll start off by saying that criticisms of Arkham Knight are fair. They may not matter to everyone to the same degree, but they're definitely fair. Arkham Knight is a return to form after the horrendous Arkham Origins (pretend it was good if you want, but it really wasn't), but the tweaks made to the system weren't for everyone. ...
The Stick of Truth is a great game that basically works like an interactive South Park movie. It's definitely not the longest game you'll ever play, but the story, game mechanics, and voice acting are great. All of the regular cast lend their voices to the characters, and game mechanics are surprisingly tight. The game's main attraction is definitely that it's...

For those who may not know, Age of Empires: Castle Siege is scheduled for a server shutdown on May 13, 2019. While it's not impossible to grind out all 20 achievements in the time remaining until then, I guarantee you, it will be very tough, and I don't recommend going for it now if you haven't already. That being said, Castle Siege was a fun distraction...
Banjo-Kazooie will rightfully go down in history as one of the all-time greatest platforming games out there. It's accessible but challenging, and has some great mechanics that you won't encounter in other games. It's definitely worth picking up and playing through, but it has a few major flaws that will have you wanting to throw your...
Viva Pinata is a fairly fun game that just doesn't offer much in terms of gameplay beyond what you discover in the first 10-20 minutes. There's a good variety of pinatas and plants that keep the game somewhat fresh, but when it comes down to it, you're really just doing the same thing over and over. There's only 1 minigame, and once you've done it a single time (per...
Speaking as someone who has played Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Oblivion, and Skyrim, I would say that Oblivion was the weakest of all these Bethesda games that have been produced since the PS3/X360 generation. However, that’s a bit like the title of “worst orgasm” or “best time I crapped my pants.” It’s a significantly shifted...
There is really no upside to this game beyond simply being a free, no-skill-required 200gs. As it was designed, this game is intended to keep you simply swiping your screen over... and over... and over. To fully complete this game, you would likely have to swipe your screen somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 million times. That is...
Imperia Online doesn't really bring anything new to the table that you haven't seen in other city builders before. You have a tech tree, a military, resources to manage, citizens to please, etc. etc. In that way, Imperia Online is nothing special. The nice thing about Imperia Online is that, despite the fact that it doesn't...
Tentacles: Enter the Mind is a simple game to get into. Without going into the story, essentially all you need to do is maneuver your blob around levels, find enemies, and snatch their eyes away from them before they can blast you (it's not as gruesome as it sounds). Enemies get increasingly difficult pretty quickly, so the game definitely suffers from a steep...
