Halo 4

Halo 4

June 4, 2021
9/10

This is no longer Bungie's Halo, but much of what made the series such an irresistible proposition has remained intact for this new beginning.

Dishonored
8/10

This is a solid single-player adventure that lasts a good amount of time, but it's just a shame that Arkane Studios can't make more of Dishonored's obvious potential.

Torchlight II
8/10

Torchlight II is up there with the best examples of the genre, but Runic Games makes very little attempt to advance the genre beyond what we were already comfortable with a decade ago.

Darksiders II
8/10

With Darksiders II Vigil has managed to capture a sense of one of the rarest feelings in video games: a genuine adventure. This is a fascinatingly hokey journey.

Even though much of Orcs Must Die! 2 feels like it's an expansion rather than a fully-fledged sequel, Robot Entertainment adds and refines just enough to get away with it.

Uncharted 3's trivial flaws are buried beneath a tidal wave of big-budget spectacle, and a genuine narrative warmth far beyond most blockbuster titles.

It doesn't take the world's greatest detective to spot that this is an expertly crafted adventure, one that maintains a breathtaking pace and invigorating rhythm from beginning to end.

Spelunky

Spelunky

June 4, 2021
8/10

While Spelunky is a fine addition to the growing library of masochistic titles it doesn't always quite manage to elicit the right response from its players.

Prototype 2
6/10

Heller might be able to absorb the minds and organic matter of anyone he touches, but Prototype 2 still lacks a heart.

Crysis 2

Crysis 2

June 4, 2021
9/10

Switching to New York gives Crysis 2 what it desperately needed: a credible sense of menace to go alongside gorgeous technical fortitude and impressive artistic direction.
