With August coming to a close, it's time to take a look back at the games we reviewed this month. It was a diverse month that brought us a fake MMO, a table top racing game, a remastered PlayStation 3 classic, fighting robots and the best skateboarding game since Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Check out all the reviews below, and don't forget to tune in next month when we tackle another batch of games.

PS Vita Crimsonland No matter whether it's on the PS4 or PS Vita, Crimsonland is a deeply disappointing dual-stick shooter. The levels rarely change and the weapon drops can lead to a lot of frustrating deaths. The few good ideas are overshadowed by too many questionable design decisions to count. The PS Vita deserves a better dual-stick shooter.

PlayStation 3 Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn Fans of Gundam and Dynasty Warriors may be thrilled by this pairing, but I found the simplistic gameplay and dull level designs too hard to overcome. I love the customization options and ability to switch mech suits, but hate that there isn't anything interesting to do with these characters. This is one franchise in serious need of a makeover.

PlayStation 4 Hotline Miami Hotline Miami is the ultraviolent arcade game you never knew you wanted. While the game remains best on PS Vita, the DualShock 4's touchpad makes this port better than what we saw on the PlayStation 3. Regardless of what system you play it on, Hotline Miami is an immediately intense action/puzzle game with great atmosphere and a twisted story.

PlayStation 4 The Last of Us Remastered The Last of Us has one of the best stories in recent memory. Too bad the rest of the gameplay isn't as well done. With far too many action segments and repetitive puzzles, this survival action game gets bogged down by filler. Thankfully the strong last act and great chemistry between leads makes this a must-play, warts and all.

PS Vita Metrico Charts and graphs may not sound like the most compelling topic for a puzzle platformer, but Metrico makes it work with a lot of clever mechanics. Best of all, it uses almost all of the Vita's functionality, including the camera, rear touchpad and gyroscope. The game abandons some of its mechanics too quickly and the ending will leave you scratching your head, but when it comes down to it, you can count on Metrico.

PlayStation 4 OlliOlli OlliOlli was great on the PS Vita, and just as much fun on the PlayStation 4. While it doesn't add any new content, this PS4 port does improve the leaderboard functionality. Unfortunately, the graphics don't look as good and the picture had problems fitting my HDTV. Even with these problems, OlliOlli is the most addictive skateboarding game in years.

PS Vita Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds won't win over gamers sick of 2D brawlers, but its fast-paced gameplay and fun multiplayer mode make it a cut above the rest. With all kinds of characters to level up, a cool art style and deep gameplay, this is one PS Vita beat-em-up worth fighting for.

PlayStation 4 Pure Pool Pure Pool does one thing and it does it well. Although it's barebones in almost every sense, this simulator is accessible to newcomers and couldn't look better. Sadly, the get is letdown by the frustrating AI, lack of varied locations and only a few modes to speak of. Even with these problems, this is a fun pool simulator with a competitive online mode and a reasonable asking price.

PS Vita Sword Art Online: Hollowed Fragment Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment transcends its license to become a truly engrossing portable role-playing game. Unfortunately, this lengthy adventure is far from perfect, with problems ranging from bad translation to simplistic missions. But none of that gets in the way of one of the most ambitious anime games ever constructed.

PS Vita Table Top Racing With good looks and tight controls, Table Top Racing has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, this Vita-exclusive is marred by unoriginal weapons, boring track designs and the most annoying use of the rear touchscreen I've seen in years. It's not bad for the price, but should have been a lot better given the talent behind Playrise Digital.
