Even though it suffers from a few frustrating puzzles, I was so wrapped up in the look and the story that I was able to overlook some of the imperfections. The Way offers an emotionally satisfying journey that's filled with unique alien worlds to explore, some clever set pieces and my favorite four-legged video game companion of the year. Sometimes that's all I'm looking for in a side-scrolling adventure game.

Despite having a compelling story and cool cinemas, Prog.1 is a fairly standard 2D platformer that is over too soon. Some of the twists and turns are interesting, but I wish there was more to the gameplay. It's not bad, but a step or two down from N++ and Super Meat Boy.

With a name like Demetrios: The BIG Cynical Adventure, you might expect an epic quest brimming with cynicism. Unfortunately, this brand new point and click adventure game holds back. While it's occasionally funny, this crime thriller is ruined by a subtitle setting you up for unrealistic expectations.
