Sledgehammers are +1 to awesome
Plucky’s 3D Adventure
If there's one word to describe Plucky's 3D Adventure, it's ambitious. It may lack the polish of a 3D platformer produced by a professional studio in every aspect, but it's still a good deal of fun in its own right.
Arkedo Series – 01 JUMP!
Jumpboy may never reach mascot status or his game mainstream success, but they still represent a fantastic reimagination of one of gaming's earliest styles of play.
Johnny Platform’s Biscuit Romp
Johnny Platform's Biscuit Romp isn't exactly a revolution, but it's a no-brainer for anyone with a dollar to spare and any interest in platforming, no matter how massive or minute.
Blaster Master Overdrive
Blaster Master Overdrive isn't a terrible game, it's just uninspired. It's lack of creativity keeps it from living up to the vaunted status of its older siblings, and its control issues keep it from succeeding as a modern piece of programming.
Bloodstream Raiders
There's nothing overtly bad about Bloodstream Raiders; there just wasn't anything particularly good about it either. The app store is flush with games, including games that are mechanically nearly identical to this one, and so I think this needs to be classified as some of the chaff amongst the wheat.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
Sometimes publishers and developers of a long standing franchise feel they have gone as far as they can go with an existing gameplay formula. It’s usually either hit or miss in these situations, and in the case of Marvel Ulimate Alliance 2 it’s a miss -- big time.
Resident Evil 5: Lost in Nightmares
You may not get a ton of new content out of Lost in Nightmares, but what you do get is definitely worth the small price to pay to extend the life of an already spectacular game. Resident Evil fans will love the references to the classic PS1 titles, and players new to the series should appreciate the change in pace that the new content provides.
Mega Man 10
Mega Man 10 is an odd mixture, equal parts 'too much too soon' and 'been there done that.' Hopefully Capcom will take a little more time before forging ahead with a Mega Man 11 -- it would be a shame to watch them bury this series again.
The Maw
Twisted Pixel has crafted a unique and interesting world and I don't see how it's possible not to become a fan of the characters and creatures that inhabit it.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Flighty controls and poor design descisions in the newest Zelda inspire a heartfelt plea to Nintendo: please reverse the direction the series is heading before it's too late.
