Halfway into playing Alien: Isolation, I stopped to watch the first four Alien movies again. It wasn’t just for research purposes, but mostly because the game had me yearning for more of the universe. Isolation has some flaws, but it’s faithful to the film series, and I’d love to see a follow-up...
The Sims 4 has room to grow, but right now you’re better off continuing to play its predecessor. While certain features were axed in the name of progress, those features were a large reason why many have come to love the series in the first place.
Gauntlet is a polished game that does right by its predecessors. It’s a great mix of both old and new school sensibilities, and despite the fact that the art style isn’t as pronounced as it could have been, the actual core of the game is very sound. With the addition...
WildStar
WildStar is a very traditional MMO, and it doesn’t attempt to hide that fact. As someone who enjoys both the new- and old-school means of thought, I found WildStar to be both a solid foundation of tried-and-true methods and an all-too familiar retread. If you’ve finally grown tired of WoW and want another...
Warframe has a great foundation, but there’s almost nothing unique or exciting about it. With a free-to-play scheme on top of how grindy the game feels in general (especially without a static group), it can wear on you even after a few hours of play. If you’re looking for a...
Azure Striker Gunvolt is a wonderful return to the technical Mega Man formula found in multiple subfranchises after the “Classic” series ran its course. Between mastering every stage, collecting every jewel, and beating Mighty Gunvolt, Azure packs in more than most platformers on the market. Although there are a few problems that...
Crown of the Iron King didn’t blow me away, but it’s a very nice zone that feels like a natural extension of Dark Souls II, and it’s meaty enough to feel like a real DLC and not just a bonus area. Now that there are two DLCs down and one to go,...
Dark Souls II: The Crown of the Sunken King is not a “must have” add-on, but it does its job of delivering more Dark Souls. As always, I advise you to skip out on the Season Pass until all three of its pieces are out so you can judge it...
I don’t want to give too much away, but Valiant Hearts: The Great War is significant in many ways. It not only gives us a rewarding and engaging way to see the horrors of war as it pertains to this particular likable cast of characters, but it also educates us on...
Like most Worms games, you’ll need other people to play with or risk monotony. Enemy AI still isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed even this far in the game, and they can take far too long between turns, leading to boredom. Given the price tag of $25, it’s perfect for...
Despite the fact that Watch Dogs hasn’t made any meaningful impact on the genre, I found myself having a ton of fun with it. Between the deep levels of customization and the sheer breadth of content, there’s no shortage of things to do. If Ubisoft can take the game’s core fun...
Drakengard 3
Drakengard 3 is a bit unconventional at times (like its developer) with tales of extreme hair cutting and dragon piss, but action fans will want to seek this one out immediately. Within 15 minutes I was drawn into its world and its cast of characters, and I wanted to see Zero’s...
