It's Halo. What more is there to say? The only negative is the audio in Reach is a little lower in quality than the original release on 360.

Bum-bo is a fun and different prequel to the Binding of Isaac. It's like a combination of Paper Mario and Bejeweled (for lack of a better game to say right now). It is still in a buggy state but the developer seems to be pretty consistent with fixing bugs. It's a lot of fun for fans of puzzle games and/or want more Isaac Lore.

Early Access Review
This game is a lot of fun and definitely worth the price. Can't wait for for more levels to be added to it. One thing I really would like tol see added is the ability to adjust any options while waiting in the lobby for a match.

Just like I remember. This game is literally a port of the N64 game with some enhancements made to it. I highly recommend picking this up if you want to relive the glory days but without the awful FPS controls from the N64. Especially for the price, this is a definite purchase.

I would recommend this game to anyone that likes jigsaw puzzles. I notices some graphical errors, mostly in the mouse cursor when you go to click something but it's not a big deal. Another error I noticed is that you can't grab a piece unless it's close to the middle of it but that may have been a choice the Dev made. Overall it's pretty good, pretty relaxing jig saw puzzle game.

This game is a great example of why you should try a game out first before you judge it. DMC is such a great game especially for anyone who is a fan of the series. Yes Dante looks kind of childish and the black hair makes you think, "what were the developers thinking". It is extremely easy to get use to the games style even though it switch from using MT Framework, which is the same engine running every other Capcom game from this generation, to using Unreal 3.

Graphics
It is a very pretty looking game. All visuals are actually HD versions of the console games, I think it lets you choose to use the low resolution textures as well, I guess incase your machine is weaker. The style of the game still very much resembles Devil May Cry even if it is a bit brighter and with a lot more red than the series usually uses. One of the few issues I have with the game is the specular maps on textures are very high, a little too high in some cases.

Gameplay
It is Devil May Cry's fast and fun gameplay through and through. A definite improvement over DMC4's gameplay and, in my opinion, actually more fluid feeling than DMC3. You get to switch between Rebellion, one of the two Angel weapons and one of the two Demon weapons in the middle of combos by holding down Left or right trigger (I didn't even bother trying a mouse and keyboard for this game, 3rd person action games with a mouse and keyboard are actually painful on my hands so I don't bother) right in the middle of a combo to boost your rating even higher. The D-Pad allows you to switch between the two different demon and angel weapons (totaling to 5 different weapons including Dante's Rebellion) and to switch between ebony and ivory or the other two gun weapons. To close the game between you and enemies you can use the demon whip to pull them to you or the angel whip to pull yourself to them ensuring your combos to go on and on.

Story
Possible spoilers

I don't know what everyone has a problem with when it comes to the games story. I found this one to have the most comprehensible story of all 3 games (I didn't play DMC2 and since Capcom doesn't want to acknowledge that it existed then neither will I). It's pretty straight forward. Dante is hunted by a demon when he wakes up in his trailer which is for some reason on a dock. He gets pulled into Limbo where demons can actually attack you and things get super colorful. He finds out that he is being hunted by Mundus who basically controls the world by keeping humans docile via TV, energy drinks, etc. and monitoring them all by video cameras that are all over the place (yes more social commentary). So he finds out about his past since he has no memory of his life before he was sent to an orphanage. He finds out that he has a brother named Vergil. So together, along with the help of a medium named Kat pulling them in and out of Limbo, they go to put a stop to Mundus and free humanity. For me personally, I never remember much story from previous DMC games except for fun moments like with the clown in DMC3. This game I actually was able to follow the story and enjoy it. It's not overly complicated, it just works for the game and making this a very good reboot for the series.


Overall I would highly recommend picking the game up. It is classic DMC fun with a new story that actually explains the past of Dante from the beginning. This way we will get a story that moves forward instead of more prequels (even though the prequels out did the original in pretty much every way). Dante is NOT a brat or an "emo" kid like many may think based on his appearence. He's obnoxious and foul-mouthed as ever, just in a much younger package. Looks aren't everything after all.

If you love Magic the Gathering then this is, yet another, game for you. It retains the same enjoyment you can have from the trading card game and the previous installments of the video games (DotPW, 2012, 2013). My only real complaint about this game is that the menus feel like they were designed for a tablet (which is most likely true since it is available on Android and iOS as well. I just wish developers would stop keeping tablet interfaces when they port their games from touchscreen platform to PC.
