Promising review: "The graphics of these games are the same graphics from the arcades they were made for. I love that they did not update the graphics in the original games that are on this disc.

Promising review: "The game guides you very well and makes sure you have a chance to find everything there is to find. I also appreciate that I don't automatically get dragged to the laboratory when I finish the mission since I like to look around for anything I might have missed (gems, coins, etc.). If you are questioning getting the game, I would say get it. It has very few cons for me at this point and they aren't even worth mentioning. Side note: I can't help but truly be in awe that these games are at a point where the cut scenes and gameplay look exactly alike." —KDeville
Price: $50.90
15. A Madden NFL game for football fanatics everywhere. It lets players partake in every step of their character's career and is designed for PS4.
Promising review: "This year's Madden is much better than the last few that have been released. First off, linebackers don't jump 100 feet in the air, so it is actually possible to lob a pass over the middle without an unrealistic interception by the linebacker. The QB 1 mode is pretty fun, allowing you a shot to take a college-listed to the national championship and win it, which then helps with your draft stock when you continue into the NFL. Overall, the game is pretty good. I'm glad I decided to get it when it was on sale." —Tgilbert03
Price: $25
16. A Mario Kart Nintendo Switch game so you can battle your friends and family on the racetrack. Up to four people can race at once, plus it features the Inklings as playable characters.

20. A Star Wars Jedi game where you get to take on the role of a Jedi-turned-fugitive Padawan. The Xbox One game is super hard to put down — take it from someone whose roommate plays it for hours on end.
Promising review: "Bought this game for my son-in-law and he is very happy with it." —Gift Giver
Price: $39.99
21. A western game for PS4 that you will likely become obsessed with. While it features graphic imagery and weapons, it also showcases the ability to talk to your horse — so, balance.
22. A post-apocalyptic Fallout game for people who want to explore and handle major amounts of weapons. This XBOX 360 game is violent and is rated Mature, so just keep that in mind when clicking "Add to Cart."
