Video Game Review: Scene It? Movie Night
It’s a quiz game, so what are you going to do? Buzz in (multiple controllers if you’re playing with multiple people), then select the right answer. The one part of the control scheme that really stands out is the fact that answers are presented in a list but corresponding button icons are overlayed in a diamond formation, just like on the PS3/XBox controller. Thus, you won’t have to worry about “Which one is triangle again?” when playing with your parents; it’ll feel intuitive based on the display.

Video Game Review: Lord of the Rings: The War in the North
It has come to me. The One Game. It shall be an heirloom to this website, and all who see my words will read them, and be bound to their verdict. I will risk no harm to it, for it is precious to me…

Video Game Review: Rayman Origins
On top of all that, there are also the little details that taken individually may not seem like much, but put together really add a lot. Things like the way enemies inflate when you stomp on them and slowly float off the screen or the expression on the mosquito’s face when it’s got a mouth full of stuff. It’s truly a stunningly created game that oozes visual charm from every pore.

Video Game Review: Voltron: Defender of the Universe
Graphically, the cel-shading looks pretty bland while the environments appear ordinary for the most part. This does not apply to the space missions where the backgrounds are impressive. Unfortunately, once the number of animations and action on screen start to add up, the frame rate suffers. The video sequences consist of clips from the cartoon with the quality being maintained from the original. Getting to see such footage is refreshing as it conjures up wonderful memories of the entertainment many of us came to love.

Video Game Review: WWE ’12
Although the right analog stick still factors heavily in the grapple system, moves are no longer executed that way. Instead, you initiate a tie-up with a face button and then transition to various grapple points (such as a side headlock or rear waist lock) by flicking the right stick. You then hit the grapple button again while angling the left stick in various directions to pull off the corresponding move.

Video Game Review: Treasures of the Sun DLC
Even if the story elements don’t interest you, the combat found in the add-on is on par with the most challenging segments of the main game. Enemies attack in swarms throughout and can make advancement difficult even on the default setting. There were actually moments when the screen became crowded to the point that I had difficulty locating my character amid the action. Those instances definitely felt over the top, but thankfully they were isolated.
