Despite branching out to a traditional genre, the chief concern with The Chinese Room's latest is gameplay yet again. Instead of getting into an argument about "walking sims" or what a game truly is this time, Little Orpheus is a case of solid audio/visual chops and a fun Cold War-era yarn weighed down by the continuous tedium of an unadventurous platformer.

Less interested in one mind-blowing new concept (a la Portal), DP Games' smaller nuances give way to what's still an engaging first-person puzzler.

Keeping to its name, GameMill Entertainment mixes two distinct throwback from my childhood: NERF target shooting and licensed game rushed to market for holiday shopping. Aside from the kitschy sci-fi appeal from this brand, NERF Legends contains virtually nothing of merit.
