Kingdom: New Lands
Available on Xbox One and PC

8.5/10

​The game has excellent replay value, and even as I’m writing this I want to turn it on for a quick game to see how many days I can survive. It’s a good fit for anybody who likes to just jump in and play, with no story or preamble, or anyone who enjoys tower defense games. I highly recommend it.

Layers of Fear: Inheritance
Available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC

7.5/10

It’s a short package, but at only $5 it’s more than fair. If you are a fan of the base title, this is a no brainer. While some of its segments felt inconsistent, as a whole it delivers everything good about the original while maintaining better story telling.

#KillAllZombies
AVAILABLE on PS4, Xbox One, and PC

5.5/10

Some mindless fun is provided in this game, but I do not believe there is much replayability unless you are a leaderboard fanatic. With the lack of features and the basic level of gameplay that is in the title, it does not have much to hold players attention long enough for an extended play through.

​Batman TTS Episode 1: Realm of Shadows
Availible on all Major Platforms

9/10

​Overall this game is a must for any fans of Batman or Telltale. It runs about 2 hours, though you can replay it over again to see what would happen if you made different choices. Telltale games, there is a noticeable jerkiness when the game transitions to another scene, but I had no such problems this time so I’m glad to see that.

Ben-Hur
AVAILABLE on Xbox One

2/10

​This game will net you about 35 minutes of entertainment if you are not into achievements and maybe 45 if you are. Ben-Hur is a download, play, and finish all within an hour or hour and half if you are really into this game.

Overcooked
Availble on Xbox ONe, PS4, and PC

9/10

I am extremely delighted that Overcooked lived up to, if not exceeded my expectations. It goes down in the books as one of the best co-operative gaming experiences in years, and brings me a virtual cooking joy I haven't had in years.

Quatros Origins
AVAILABLE on Xbox One and PC

8/10

As a core puzzle game for only $5, it is an easy buy. With multiple modes, a unique twist on a classic concept, and solid controls, Quatros Origins is a great title to add to your collection. Easy to get into but definitely hard to master, Quatros Origins a great shake up to other similar puzzlers in the genre.

Dark Souls 3
AVAILIBLE ON XBOX ONE, PS4, AND PC

10/10

​All in all, Dark Souls III is a phenomenal title that provides a large of amount of gameplay and will let you get your money’s worth for a game of this magnitude. So grab your favorite broad sword, a couple Estus Flask, and your trusty bow and I wish you the best of luck…You are going to need it!

The Flame in the Flood

8/10

The Flame in the Flood is definitely worth a look, especially if you are a fan of the survival genre. The beautiful art direction and music really help elevate this game above the competition. I had a pretty good experience with it that I won’t be forgetting anytime soon.

Action News Heroes

7.5/10

In the end, the appeal to this game could go for anyone and I personally really enjoyed this game and I am not a big shmups fan. The campaign is rather short and it is the only mode in the game, but if you enjoy shmups or are just looking for a game that is some mindless fun, I would strongly recommend picking this one up.

Tumblestone

4/10

I think this game was meant for the causal player to pick up every once and a while and I see that as how you will need to play this game without breaking a bunch of controllers. I was excited for this game when I saw that it was on Games with Gold, but it feels incomplete and I wish it didn’t. I wanted to like this game, but I just couldn’t.

Ninja Pizza Girl

7/10

​All-in-all Ninja Pizza Girl is a safe experience. I commend it for its approach towards real world issues, and it deserves the commendations for finding a voice in a genre that does not always have room for it. It does not break any boundaries, nor does it fall below them.

Drawful 2

8/10

This standalone title capitalizes on all the great things about the original while adding some slight changes that give it the edge. If you have friends and those friends like to get together at your place, Drawful 2 is yet again another safe bet for a good time as there titles have been over and over again.

INSIDE

10/10

To get straight to the point, INSIDE is a moving, chilling, and overall fantastic piece of creative work. It is art in motion, and every step you take in the three to four hour experience is one you will not regret. INSIDE brings many inspirations from its predecessor in an enhanced, fully fleshed, and practically perfect game.

Monochroma

6/10

I wanted to like Monochroma, like really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, at the end of the day it just does not cut it.
It’s dull and lifeless, and while some puzzles are great, the experience as a whole leaves more to be desired​.
Monochroma has a great art style, but everything else is just less than stellar.

Prison Architect

8/10

Overall Prison Architect gives you the best experience on building and running a prison that a game could . It is very detailed with the construction and even more thorough with the managing side of the prison. Controls for both are very easy to use and work great on the Xbox controller.

Kung-Fu For Kinect

7.5/10

Kung-Fu for Kinect is without a doubt a workout. Its cheesiness is appealing for the title, and fits the title accordingly. My body is sore from all the punches I threw, and while some segments admittedly stressed me out, as a whole my experience is entirely positive.

Trials of the Blood Dragon

8/10

Though Trials of the Blood Dragon has some issues as far some of the new features goes, it stands out as a great change of pace for the series. Quickly becoming one of my favorite titles, the game goes to show that taking risks with a formula can pay off.

Hitman Episode 3
Marrakesh


6/10

The 3rd Episode in the Hitman series features agent 47 in the market area of Marrakesh, a city in Morocco.  This mission features a lot of moving through crowds undetected and sneaking into heavily guarded areas, which is nothing new to Agent 47.

Fragments of Him

8/10

Fragments of Him is one of those rare titles that will resonate with you long after you played it. It hits many heights as far as emotional involvement and strong writing goes. I commend Fragments of Him for being something wholly unique in scope and delivery.

Among The Sleep

7/10

I definitely appreciate the material at hand, but I wanted a more in-tune experience. Anyone looking for a solid romp in a haunted house can rely on Among the Sleep to get the job done though, and it is certainly a success for the genre in the long run.

Super Night Riders

7.5/10

Super Night Riders is a great callback to older racers. It’s fun and sometimes trying, but the difficulty is just right where practice can be proven effective.
 It’s a simple but effective concept that shows what some hard work and passion can accomplish.

Cubikolor

8/10

Cubikolor is a delightful puzzler from Moving Player and Fractal Box. Taking a cube with different colors on each side, players traverse levels using color schemes to finish each puzzle. The title takes the good ol Rubik’s Cube to a whole different level.

Hitman Episode 2
Sapienza

The Park

7/10

The Park is a great, quick experience that is not without its shortcomings. Though it tells a chilling tale that truly deserves deep interpretation, the end is a bit of a letdown. For players that love the immersive, narrative driven experience The Park is another solid entry in the growing field.

Arcade Game Series:
Pac-Man


9.5/10

Fit for an arcade, this iteration of Pac-Man is perfect for any age old fan and newcomers looking for a challenging dip into gaming historic past. If you want to pick up a retro title on the current gen, AGS Pac-Man is an easy decision to make.

Layers of Fear

I really enjoyed my time with Layers of Fear. It was creepy and cool, and overall just hit everything I want in a horror setting. The conclusion of the game was awesome, albeit a little brief, but had one of those great “whoa” moments that makes you consider everything you just did. ​

Screencheat

7.5/10

Screencheat is an awesome concept without a doubt. Fun, quick sessions with friends are incredibly entertaining. The game is admittedly not for everyone. While the concept is simple in thought, actually getting used to it is a task that not all will be able to be willing to try.

Tiny Troopers Joint Ops

7/10

All together Tiny Troopers is a fun, quick arcade game. I’ll say the game play is nice and easy to get ahold of, someone of any age could pick this up and have fun. It would have been cool to have some sort of co-op but that’s really my only complaint on it.

Rocket League

10/10

Rocket League is phenomenal. It’s fair and balanced, with a formula that needs to be respected and mirrored by future games. Backed by an extremely cool original soundtrack, near-perfect gameplay, Unreal Engine 4, and a rock-solid formula, Rocket League deserves all the high praise it gets.

OXENFREE

Brunswick Pro Bowling

5/10

Brunswick Pro Bowling on the Xbox One is not the bowling simulation that this generation of gaming needs. It’s quite the opposite actually, and comes across as a cash grab with the Brunswick name slapped on it. The mechanics are poor, its offerings shallow, and as a whole leaves much to be desired. ​

Just Cause 3

6/10

Just Cause 3 gives you everything you would expect from the series, but really nothing more. The most impressive change to the formula is the addition of a wing-suit. Other than that nifty way to traverse the 400 sq. miles of map, it is all too familiar of its predecessor.
