★★★ | Claws of Awaji doesn't introduce anything new to the already terrific Shadows, but it is more Assassin's Creed, and that's just enough to warrant a second look.
★★ | Passion and ambition don't always equal quality. Lost Soul Aside has plenty of ideas, but no vision to put them together. Instead, it settles for a muddled selection of borrowed mechanics, tied together by disastrously bad writing and acting.
★★★★ | Review: Mafia: The Old Country will infuriate many with its hopelessly dated mechanics. But fans of this genre and time period will love the romanticism and tragedy, overlooking most faults entirely.
★★★★★ | Review: Mario Kart World re-imagines the iconic franchise into something familiar and wildly new. The result is a definitive racer for the new generation, one that might be enough to sell the new system on its own.
