Assassin's Creed Rogue is really meant for the fans of the series who are invested in the Assassin’s Creed universe. The game knows this and wears it on its sleeve. If you weren't a fan of Black Flag, there unfortunately isn't much here to help change your mind. Newcomers are better off coming back to Rogue once they've caught up on the story so far, as it expects you to know certain characters and plotlines going into it. The game may use one too many assets from the previous title and its lack of online features put the product's longevity into question, but that doesn't take away from the fun of naval combat or fighting the deadly Assassins. Assassin's Creed Rogue isn't the cash grab many assumed it would be, and ultimately is an enjoyable experience and fitting end to the Kenway trilogy.
Slender: The Arrival is a must-play for any horror fan who hasn't played it on PC. You may get frustrated with it at times, but overcoming any cheap moments makes beating each chapter and the overall game all the more rewarding. If you play it alone, you can easily get enough scares out of it for price, but we highly recommend that you play The Arrival with the company of a couple of friends, turn up the volume, and turn off the lights.

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z ended up providing more fun than originally expected, even though the first few hours are very repetitive. If you aren't a fan of the series then this may not be your cup of tea, but as a standalone title it could easily give you an evening's simple and senseless entertainment - especially with a few friends.
Thief is far from the grand return to the franchise fan were hoping for, but the stealthy heart of Thief: The Dark Project is still there. The majority of fans might not be completely happy with it, but a new audience will undoubtedly get a good taste of the classic franchise. You can't help but praise Eidos for the work they have done with the stealth systems and lighting as on the trusty Xbox 360 it looks good, but you always feel there could be more. So, if you can look past the weak story, dull characters and repetitive hub map to just loot everything in sight on a custom difficulty, then we would recommend picking up a used copy and giving it a blast over a weekend.
