‘Pokémon Legends: Z-A’ is packed with creature-collecting fun, but it may not be the cheery, catch-‘em-all frolic that younger fans expect.
‘Eleanor the Great’ lives up to its title in many ways, despite coming with some content issues to navigate.
‘Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny’ offers pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a Nickelodeon game: colorful characters, silly fun and mess-free RPG battles.
This monster sequel is known as one of the best of the Universal Horror Classics. But there still might be creepy bits for the younger monster fans in the crowd.
‘Good Fortune’ take a derivative glance at our not-so-wonderful lives. It comes up a few bells and angel wings short.
