★★★★ | Cronos isn't big or new and there are numerous frustrations that keep it from the all time best lists. But when it works, it's a gorgeous horror fantasy well worth playing.
★★★ | 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.
