Gal*Gun 2
Inti Creates follows up their Gal Gun sucess with this spanking full-frontal sequel.
Catering to a market obsessed with cute anime waifus, Gal*Guns 2 combines on-rails shooting
with the gratifications of saving little girls from the depravities of demonic posession.
But, while being loved up by anime girls is as satisfying as ever, the rest of its features
sadly add nothing to the table.
It has a Provisional PlayScore of 5.92.
Extinction
One of the promising open world titles from Iron Galaxy, Extinction just couldn't deliver
according to expectations.
While it enticed us with their gigantic ogres and fierce-looking trolls, it seems to have
had a run-in with the usual pitfalls of the open world genre: sparse and repetitive.
With precious little content in its unmistakeably vast world, fans just didn't feel it was worth
the 60 dollar price point.
It has a PlayScore of 6.03.
Time Carnage
Go on a time-benging rampage against waves of zombies and robots in this Virtual Reality
game from Wales Interactive.
It's a stationary shooting gallery of ihuman sorts as you try to survive its endless hordes
of murderous adversaries.
Putting on a solid performance in terms of shooting, technicalities, and design, it's
not exactly a standout title despite its quirky premise.
Still, it's a competent title for some arcade shooting action.
It has a Provisional PlayScore of 6.08
INFERNIUM
An action adventure game that challenges you to scale the borders between life and death.
Like a videogame adaptation of Dante's Inferno, Carlos Coronado gives you a tour of the dismal
underworld as he unfolds a non-linear narrative in fiery prison without bars.
Presenting a welcome change in setting and storytelling techniques, it's story unfortunately
didn't translate too well with its audiences.
For many, it felt too much like a confusing mess that leaves you threading its jumbled
up plot.

tropical vacation a cosier one.

of accomplishment.

tracking limitations of some PS VR titles.

Crisis on the Planet of the Apes
Set against a backdrop of the growing outbreak, put yourself in the shoes of our Simian brothers
and fight your life in the apocalyptic world.
It's a VR experience that pits you against human captors in for your race's survival.
Other than its relevant premise, in the wake of the latest Planet of the Apes film, this
videogame adaptation is a little disappointing.
Haunted by buggy controls, poor voice acting, and repetitive gameplay, it has a PlayScore
of 6.82

Super Daryl Deluxe
A metroidvania adventure that lets you relive high school in the halls of Water Falls High.

life and uncover a 15hour story packed with hidden hallways and over the top hilarity.
Though fun and stylish, Super Daryl is unfortunately wrought with lengthy sidequests that bloat
an otherwise fun game.
