Bio Menace – PC

Bio Menace is a classic side-scroller by Apogee Software with a classic difficulty curve, meaning that if you want to best all three chapters of this game’s story, you’re going to need to wake up those old-school instincts and sniff out every hidden power-up and secret level you can find.

Outpost 2: Divided Destiny – PC

Something tells me that this isn't the one...

Yes, you’ll eventually have to build weapons to protect yourself, but the real challenge lies in stabilizing the colony’s easily-fractured morale. Can you hold humanity together as their new planet tears itself apart?

Assassin’s Creed: Unity – Xbox One

Assassin’s Creed: Unity is not as bad as its reputation would suggest, but it still has a number of serious problems. Hopefully the next Assassin’s Creed can show what the series is capable of on the current generation of consoles.

Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi- PS3

Its half past midnight. I’m drinking hot cocoa in a corner, reading manga, thinking “Where did it all go wrong?” I cry in sadness, solemnly, I get up to press the keys, weary from my average experience with the game I had just played.
