All reviewsSkylanders: Spyro's Adventure2011
2 out of 5 starsCollecting Skylanders is fun, even if you go back to the original game. Not so fun on the PS3 versions: lots of bugs, including crashes and freezes requiring a restart, and pretty much no graphical upgrades. Some hidden items are even unobtainable in this version.

Volgarr the Viking2013
4 out of 5 starsYou can tell Volgarr the Viking is a Sega Genesis game in spirit, if not in actuality, just by playing the opening level.

Looks and plays great on iPad.

There are few enemy types, and a lot of repeats. The only stand outs are the boss fights, but they are…

Nov 22, 2010
Super Metroid is mostly known for its emotionally charged, cut-scene-less ending -- and for good reason. Even today, that final scene of tragedy and vengeance is a powerful moment and sticks in the mind long after one has moved back into the grimy, HD-world of contemporary games. But Super Metroid is not an experience that can be reduced to one, gripping moment. Rather, it is awash with texture...
