Tropico 4: Modern Times review (360, PC)
Things get somewhat futuristic in Modern Times, the latest expansion for Tropico 4, which successfully manages to enhance the main game's experience. Check out our review by our own Doug Fairall.
Suimioni: Demon Arts review (Vita)
While it certainly presents a number of good ideas, Suimioni: Demon Arts for the Vita ultimately falls flat and fails to deliver a worthwhile experience.
Challenging and MMO-like in its design, Armored Core V is a mech game worth playing by fans of the mech subgenre.
With its colorful charm and enjoyable puzzle gameplay, Offspring Fling is an indie gem that just deserves to be played. GameZone's own Stephanie Carmichael gives you the details on this pleasing PC download.
Silent Hill: Downpour review (360, PS3)
It looks great and the story is interesting, but the bad combat and puzzles in Silent Hill: Downpour keep this survival horror game from ever being really good. GameZone's Robert Workman reviews the latest entry in this long-running series.
Yesterday features an excellently horrific story and solid point-and-click gameplay, making it a must for any fans of the adventure genre.
WorldCup Cricket Fever review (iOS)
Hardly original, WorldCup Cricket Fever manages to nail different aspects of the sport, but it sadly never feels like a worthwhile gameplay experience, not even for fans. Check out our review of this iOS title by GameZone's Tate Steinlage.
Blades of Time review (360, PS3)
An unlikable main character and boring gameplay make Blades of Time a game that should be avoided at all costs, even by action gamers in need of a fix.
Ridge Racer Unbounded review (PS3)
Ridge Racer Unbounded is fast and hectic racing at its finest, delivering fresh arcade gameplay that's sure to please gamers. This ain't no Vita Ridge Racer!
Warriors Orochi 3 review (360)
Featuring fast-paced action and a great cast of characters, Warriors Orochi 3 is a great entry in the franchise, and it most certainly deserves to be played by fans and newcomers alike. Read our review by GameZone's Mike Splechta.
After initially launching as a free Flash game three years ago, Closure makes its way to the PlayStation Network. And in case you're wondering, it's totally worth the $15 asking price.
Suda51's twisted take on baseball lands on Xbox 360 Kinect, but sadly, Diabolical Pitch is not as functional as we would have hoped.

While it's not without a couple of flaws here and there, Kinect: Star Wars should provide plenty of fan service for gamers who love the series. Check out our review by GameZone's Mike Splechta.
The Hunger Games review (Movies)
The Hunger Games is a worthy adaptation of the novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins. GameZone's Dustin Steiner reviews the first film in the series.
Game of Thrones 'The North Remembers' recap and review (TV)
