It may share a genre and universe with Saints Row, but Agents of Mayhem is a lifeless husk of Volition's prior work.

It's the Star Fox game you wanted...in 2002.

Ten years later, this frustrating follow-up to Canvas Curse feels shallow and soulless by comparison.

You'd do yourself a favor by watching the movies again in lieu of playing this game

As a huge fan of Terminator 2 and the 16-bit era of sidescrolling action games, I certainly found plenty of things to appreciate about this faithful throwback from Bitmap Bureau. If you see NO FATE on sale for $10 and have the same nostalgia that I have for its inspirations, I’d give it a hearty recommendation. It becomes much harder to recommend a $30 purchase for a 45-minute long experience.

Slick production values, solid controls, and tons of fan service can't make up for mediocre progression and a lack of content.

This odd Wii U collaboration plays like a guided tour of The Legend of Zelda's most iconic locations and characters. The price of admission? Playing a bunch of Dynasty Warriors.

Could be fun for nostalgia buffs, but don't expect any innovation

It may fall short if you’re looking for a deep city builder or life sim, but as a piece of absurdist Dada comedy I absolutely love Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. Every day I look forward to booting it up, making a Mii or two, seeing what unlikely friendships are forming, and watching ludicrous vignettes play out.

Perfectly playable and sometimes a nice challenge, but lacks its own identity
