Just like Nintendo decides to release games and hardware on Sundays, we too have decided to give you the week's wrap-up of reviews, previews, and video content on this most odd of days to do anything. If you've been busy and haven't had the chance to check out the latest content on GameZone, be sure to scope it all out here. Want to know if you should shell out the cash for the 3DS XL? Are you looking for a good movie to watch? Do you perhaps just feel like disagreeing with us? You'll find an entire week's worth of content right here.
Reviews
Paranorman 3D review (Movies)
It's hard to say if this film will take its place as a classic, but it's most certainly an entertaining movie and should not be missed by moviegoers looking for some lighthearted fun.
Papo & Yo review (PS3)
This heartwarming tale warrants a play-through from PlayStation 3 owners, and even if its gameplay may not be perfect, it's a solid game regardless.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron review (Xbox 360, PS3)
The robots in disguise are back in what is easily the best Transformers game in quite some time.
Legasista review (PS3)
NIS America's latest RPG isn't for everyone, but if you're a fan of the genre, you might want to give it a shot.
Street Fighter x Tekken DLC review (Xbox 360, PS3)
If you've been digging Capcom's crossover fighter and are looking for more content to keep you going, this DLC expansion is for you.
Hit & Run review (Movies)
A genuinely enjoyable flick with fast car chases, this high-speed film delivers the goods and defies expectations.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure HD Ver. review (Xbox 360, PS3)
This HD remake is certainly bizarre, but it's also not that good.
Sugar Cube: Bittersweet Factory review (PC)
While this indie puzzle platformer won't be remembered alongside the greats like Braid and Limbo, it still offers some entertainment that makes it worth playing.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive review (Xbox 360, PS3)
Is this hotly anticipated tactical FPS worth playing? Yes, it definitely is. So go play it now.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 review (3DS)
Mario and Luigi's latest outing may not be wholly original, but it is a fine 2D platforming experience for fans of the series and 3DS owners.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online review (PC)
While the potential for a great shooter is there, too many shortcomings plague the latest Clancy title, making it an average romp at best.
Nintendo 3DS XL review (Gadgets)
If you've been meaning to buy a 3DS, look no further than Nintendo's latest revision of its dual screen handheld. It really is worth the $199.99 asking price.
The Apparition review (Movies)
Bad characters, a poor story, and no scares whatsoever mean you'll find absolutely no enjoyment in this "horror" flick.
This flick is dumb, but not in the good way, which means you should probably save some cash and refrain from watching it.
