Super Late Review: Yoshi’s Woolly World (Nintendo Wii U)
Yoshi’s Woolly World Genre: Platformer Developer: Good-Feel Publisher: Nintendo Release Date: 10/16/2015 I believe that Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island is a legitimate masterpiece.

Review: CreaVures (PC)
CreaVures Genre: Platformer Developer: Muse Games Publisher: Muse Games Release Date: 02/23/2011 As a fan of the genre, I would like to say that there are not enough platformers on PC, or at least not enough good platformers.

Review: Ship Simulator Extremes (PC)
Ship Simulator Extremes, even though we could argue about its extremeness, is a ship simulator at its core, but is it a good one? If it is a good one, does it translate well into other qualities that make a game fun? Is it the kind of thing that can be enjoyed by a broad audience?
