Call of Juarez: Gunslinger – PC
On the surface, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger may not have many original ideas, but that’s part of the fun. It has just the right number of Western and FPS clichés without going overboard. The graphics could use some improvement, but you’ll barely notice as you navigate thrilling battles with expert controls.

PS4 Day One Impressions
Sony delivers on its promise of a great Next Gen system. The PS4 may not be perfect, but I was very impressed.
-
Final Exam – PC
Final Exam could have benefited from a little more attention to detail in the controls and originality departments, but its main draw is the fun gameplay, especially for the low price tag. Try it out if you’re bored.
-
Socket – Sega Genesis
Socket had potential but its poor level design, flawed controls and shameless similarities to the Sonic the Hedgehog games drag it down. It’s good for about an hour of time killing, but not much more.
-
Pokémon X – 3DS
Whether you’re a video game veteran or a beginner, Pokemon X will appeal to you. Its improved battle system and beautiful graphics are enough to suck any gamer in, but beware of repetition.
-
Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse – NES
First Castlevania too hard? Then avoid Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse, because things haven’t changed much. The graphics can be nice at times and playing as other characters is fun, but not worth the price of all the controllers you’ll be throwing in frustration.
-
Sins of a Solar Empire – PC
Sins of a Solar Empire expertly has you balancing economics, politics, and rival factions in a effort to build your empire, but playing against the computer is far too easy. Engaging with other online players makes up for this, but be sure to allot 6-8 hours of time for it.
-
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest – NES
The RPG elements add a whole new dimension to the platforming genre, but solving puzzles can be difficult without the Internet, as can simple things like jumping and walking down stairs. Simon’s Quest is fun but not for beginners.
-
No More Room In Hell – PC
If the zombie apocalypse ever happens, it will be just like this game. Realism and attention to detail make this a truly frightening experience, but also a frustrating one. Dying within minutes is so commonplace it’s almost not worth trying.
-
Surgical Strike – Sega CD
Surgical Strike is one of many FMV games that failed to make the genre a thing. While not the worst of the bunch, poor video quality and repetitive game play are enough to scare off anyone who doesn’t already love games like this.
-
Hatchi – iOS
Hatchi faithfully recreates the simplistic pet simulators of the mid-90’s, but also adds a few new things. While still not great for binge gaming, it can still deliver a satisfying experience, even with the occasional in-app purchase.
-
Grand Theft Auto V – PS3
If you thought GTA IV was good, then you’re gonna love this. Grand Theft Auto V somehow improves on its predecessor in every detail. The three character story structure is engaging and adds diversity while the free-range environment is expanded exponentially. Play this game.
-
Chuck Rock – Sega CD
Chuck Rock came out at a time when platformers were everywhere and it has everything you want in the genre. The music is especially enjoyable, and while nothing else stands out as being awesome, it has nothing wrong with it either.
-
Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon – 3DS
For a sequel that took 13 years to make, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon is just ok. Graphics and environments add too lot of the charm, but the game play becomes more of the same after a while.
-
Super Magnetic Neo – Dreamcast
Never before has a game this fun been this frustrating. Super Magnetic Neo is about as original as they come, but set a lot of time aside to master the controls.
