Cloudberry Kingdom does check all the boxes of what to have in a platforming game, and in many areas, offers a lot more. It's just that the whole doesn't feel like it equals the sum of its parts. For whatever reason, it never really comes together into the...
Rogue Legacy is a fantastic platforming adventure. While it's far from perfect, it's brilliance is in the way that it places a new spin on the genre. It masterfully gives players reasons to keep on coming back for more, building their legacy, and ultimately making a run towards the end...
The Last of Us is at or near the top of a very short list of must play games in 2013. It not only fulfills the expectation from Naughty Dog fans of game with a beautiful presentation and well thought out story, but its also got the gameplay that is...
It’s becoming a rarity for expansion content to be as big and as bold as you’ll find in Blizzard’s Heart of the Swarm.
God of War: Ascension is a marvel to look at, but less exciting to play. While we would have certainly liked to see the gameplay evolve more on the single player side of things, we'll take the hefty compensation from multiplayer in its place.
It'll always be hard for Crytek to capture the magic from the original game, but Crysis 3 is close on many fronts. More freedom in single player, more options in multiplayer, Crysis 3 feels like the most complete game in the franchise.
Metal Gear Rising is a unique change of pace for the series. While it's far from a perfect game, it's fun hack and slash title with some of the most over-the-top boss battles we've seen in a very long time.
The Dead Space franchise gets further and further away from its roots by trading in tension for action. Dead Space 3 will leave long-time fans bewildered, while offering the spectacle that will appeal to a wider audience.
Demon's Souls is a challenging and lengthy RPG romp through one of the most difficult yet rewarding fantasy worlds ever created. Not intended for those that have a tendency to be deterred by a tall challenge.
DMC is the closest thing we have to a "hardcore" action fighting game. Not many developers get it right these days, but this DMC reboot stays true to the franchise roots while bringing storytelling, visuals, and sound up to speed with the high bar of AAA titles.
Open world afficionados will enjoy the level of freedom and randomness in this island vacation from hell. One of the better shooters of 2012 if just for its variety.
Hitman: Absolution constantly flip-flops from being awesome to bad in the blink of an eye. It never consistently amazes, nor constantly disappoints. We wished it was more at times, and thought it nearly perfect at others.
