Console Reviews
If you want a ton of fighters and don’t mind the recycling of past games, then Armageddon will keep you busy for ages. It’s certainly not a bad game and you get value for money, but it feels more like a compilation disc than anything new for the franchise. Hopefully the next generation will breathe some new life into the series.
Gameplay: If you’ve played any of the previous titles, then you’ve played this.
Graphics: Not bad, but not a step up from past games.
Sound: Typical Mortal Kombat fare

Adorable cats and addictive physics-based puzzle adventuring is a winning combination and ensures that Fort Meow will keep players hooked to the end. Building pillow forts out of all kinds of odds and ends is a blast, and the physics-based gameplay keeps things interesting. While initially a little short for our liking, the free Challenge Mode added after release offers a great excuse to keep playing after completing the campaign.
Gameplay: Very addictive and features enough items to keep the fort building interesting.
Graphics: The adorable children’s book style visuals look great.
Sound: Some very catchy tunes to accompany the wacky action

Shattered Planet is one of those games that are impossible to play only once. It is so addictive that I found myself returning to it again and again even after getting my character killed in a myriad of ways. Between the daily challenges and endless mode there is enough content here to keep players hooked for a very, very long time. This is not a game to start playing if you value your free time!
Gameplay: Simple to play, but highly addictive.
Graphics: Bold, colorful and features tons of item designs.
Sound: Mostly tranquil, but speeds up when there is action

Whispering Willows is not a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat from excitement, but the slower pace and interesting story make for an engaging experience. Unraveling the mysteries of Willows Mansion and communicating with the lost souls is a unique experience that kept us hooked from start to finish. If you demand quick reflexes or mind-bending puzzles to be entertained, the game may feel boring to you. Still, if you can appreciate a slower-paced, engaging experience, this is a great title to add to your collection.
Gameplay: The game is slow-paced but very engaging.
Graphics: Whispering Willows features beautiful artwork for the characters and backgrounds.
Sound: The soundtrack is very atmospheric, and the sound effects are excellent

SteamWorld Dig makes the transition from 3DS to PC flawlessly and loses none of its addictive charm along the way. Carving out your own mining tunnels while avoiding or killing the enemies is loads of fun, and there is always one more upgrade or power to tempt you back.
Gameplay: SteamWorld Dig is polished, entertaining, and incredibly addictive.
Graphics: The visuals consist of charming high-definition 2D graphics.
Sound: The game features some western-flavored tunes and spot-on sound effects
