We almost hate how much fun this game is. Call us easy to please, but Gauntlet: Slayer Edition is damn close to gaming perfection. We’ve got five upgradeable characters (all with their own play style), dungeons, monsters, comedy, co-op and three different gameplay modes.

On the plus side, you’re able to edit your deck at any time, and there’s a huge library of cards to select from. With the completely unengaging overall experience of actually dueling, however, it’s hard to find much incentive to dive into that aspect of the game. Combined with the difficult menu navigation, it further discourages experimentation.

There’s plenty of solid fiction to draw upon with the Gears universe, and one of the nice selling points for those that have played through the 360 version many times is the addition of five chapters that were previously only available on PC. Dropped in at the start of Act Five, these offer a more complete version of the game’s events and in no way feel tacked on. They add roughly an hour of additional gameplay and include one of the game’s most challenging fights: a showdown with a Brumak.

War Chest, like its predecessors, lets you employ a variety of toys while on the battlefield, whether it’s a squeaky-treaded tank, a fire-breathing dragon or a number of powerful heroes.

While in the default build mode you can zoom with the right stick to really get a good look at the figures and turret details.

The cars look absolutely fantastic, and even the drivers feature a good amount of detail and look very close to their real life counterparts (every driver featured in the game is real). All of the courses look great with their appropriately clean or worn tracks, depending on where you decide to race and how old the venue is.

Although Rare Replay is a 30-year anthology, it actually contains games from a 25-year period, starting with 1983’s Jetpac (released under the aforementioned “Ultimate” banner) and concluding with 2008’s Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts — the studio has exclusively released Kinect games since then. It runs the gamut of multiple generations and genres, and while these may not be the best 30 titles Rare has ever created, it’s a largely excellent sampling.

To restore your full power, you must trap and murder people in humiliating, sadistic and ultra-violent ways. To unlock more traps, you have to complete small side objectives in a level, such as performing a six-hit trap combo, or having to strike an enemy mid-air.
