Tell GR: Buy, Try, or Die? [May 2013]



So you probably already have Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Wait, no? Don't make this ninja throw 4.5 stars at you! (I'm saving the half-star as a memento.)

This month has begun and in the month before E3 2013 wrings us all by the neck (with hope and wonder!) in June, we have plenty of games to feast upon. Why, in less than a week, we have Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move. And next week, we have DUST 514 and Metro: Last Light, two shooters that already have a healthy community behind them.

In the latter half of the month, there is another gorilla-powered Nintendo 3DS title, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and another slew of shooters, the multiplayer Fuse and the shooting gallery Western Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. We have no idea when the Psycho Pack for Borderlands 2 or when the free-to-play Spartacus Legends is supposed to arrive, but they're supposed to release sometime this month.
