Super Mario Galaxy 2  |
Rating of: 4.5/5
|
|
Inventive, varied, unique and above all fun platformer that easily ranks as one of the best games on the Wii. |

| New Super Mario Bros. Wii |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
|
Super Mario returns to its roots with a retro-inspired reboot of its 2D origins. Nice use of the Wii controls add a slightly different dimension but it inevitably feels like a step backward from the Sunshine and Galaxy games. |

| Resident Evil: Revelations |
Rating of: 3/5
|
|
Resident Evil 5 felt like a franchise that was beginning to run out of steam and 6 was just plain bad, so Revelations was at least a step in the right direction; but it still felt like the series had lost its edge. Decent but far from the heights the Resident Evil games reached in its prime. |

| Greak: Memories of Azur |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
Not the Lost Vikings
|
|
“Greak: Memories of Azure” (“Greak”) is the inaugural effort by Mexican Indie developer, Navegante Entertainment, published by Team17 in 2021. I first became aware of this new title by watching an Indie showcase in which “Greak” was compared to one of the SNES-era classics from InterPlay, “The Lost Vikings,” which still ranks among my all-time favorite Puzzle games. Two years afte... |

| Dead Island 2 |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
Zombie Killing for Fun and Profit (Mostly for Fun)
|
|
Normally when games enter the "development hell" period, the final outcome is a huge disappointment. Dead Island was released in 2011 and, after it's (still) emotionally-charged and amazing trailer - was more or less a generic zombie-killing game that sold solidly but had an otherwise lukewarm reception. Dead Island 2 was planned for a 2015 - and also go a pretty good trailer but all the game lan... |

| Yaga |
Rating of: 2.5/5

Bad Luck
|
|
“Yaga” is the inaugural development effort and currently only game release from Romanian Indie studio, Breadcrumbs Interactive, published by prolific Indie booster, Versus Evil. “Yaga” is, much like certain other big-budget “AAA” titles (like ‘The Witcher’ series), part of the growing trend of games developed in Eastern Europe by people who come from a Slavic cultural background. ... |

| Riverbond |
Rating of: 3/5
|
Low-Key Coop Silliness for All Ages
|
|
“Riverbond” is the second game from Toronto-based Indie studio, Cococucumber (not to be confused with Cocomelon). This studio, which began releasing games in 2015, has endeavored to build a reputation for creating cute, stylized, voxel-based games. I say ‘endeavored’ because even as closely as I watch Games Industry release schedules in my neverending hunt for the Next Great Game… I had... |

| Saints Row IV |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
With Great Power Comes Great Absurdity
|
|
When Saints Row was started by Volition and THQ, it was a relatively straight-forward open-world crime series in the vein of the Grand Theft Auto series. Gradually, more comedic elements were added, with wacky characters and costumes. When THQ when belly up, Deep Silver took over and gave us Saints Row IV - the culmination of this insanity, certainly the most fun entry, if a bit TOO over-the-top ... |

| Assassin's Creed Odyssey |
Rating of: 4.5/5

Tell me, O Muse, of the woman of many devices!
|
|
I have never played an Assassin’s Creed game, and do not have much experience with the IP. Over the years, I have heard many young gamers praise the games, recalling historical facts they learned about various periods of time. Yet, I never felt compelled to play any of the games. First of all I am generally weary of a giant sandbox games from too-large-for-their-own-good publishers like Ubisoft... |

| The Last of Us Part II |
Rating of: 4.5/5
|
Vengeance Is Mine Own Worst Enemy
|
|
Naughty Dog has been a boon to Sony, cutting their teeth with Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter before moving on to the Uncharted series and, finally, delivering their biggest hit to date with The Last of Us in 2013. Such a touchstone game was sure to have a followup and The Last of Us Part II dropped in 2020. Creative force Neil Druckmann has that while The Last of Us was a story about how far ... |
