So, while the game looks the best Call of Duty ever has, it also carries too many flaws to make it a must-have title for next-gen console owners, or casual Call of Duty fans for that matter. Die-hards will still log countless hours, but long-time detractors will finally have new...
As a whole, though, Beyond: Two Souls is without question one of the most ambitious undertakings of this generation — an interactive experience with a massive scope, tremendous mo-cap performances, and a story that, while a little convoluted in places, competently encompasses several decades of a girl's very complex life....
That being said, the gameplay in FIFA 14 is much more refined when compared to FIFA 13, so those who do pick up the game will find a more enjoyable experience overall. Not to mention the realism that the collisions and shooting add to the proceedings make the game look...
The game borrows more than a few ideas from Skylanders, but it executes on those ideas in some pretty smart ways, leveraging Disney's properties to their utmost potential. There may be better singular Disney games out there, but as a blend of multiple properties, this is the quintessential Disney experience.
What KickBeat does to evolve the rhythm genre is smart, it's just sorely lacking in execution. The idea of a rhythm game that uses hand-to-hand combat as a gameplay template makes KickBeat stand out, but when it comes time to actually play the game, the experience wavers between decent fun...
For as much as DuckTales Remastered was an absolute delight to load up that first time, and listen to that iconic, chiptunes theme song, the rose-colored sheen wore off relatively quickly. Seeing these characters brought to life in stunning 2D hand drawn art (think Rayman Legends) is great, but when...
And that's where Madden NFL 25 fails — it doesn't justify its existence. In fact, in a few spots it feels like a step backwards for the franchise, where some of the progress made in terms of defensive AI and players getting sucked into offensive lineman is lost. It's a...
This particular entry may not truly connect to the Call of Juarez mythology (save for a brief cut scene), but it more than lives up to the Wild West ideas that influenced the series. The game is a substantial offering with plenty of opportunities for replayability, but the fact...
The game is by no means perfect, but what Last Light gets right it does so with a need not to get by, but to be original. Few games offer fast-paced action and moody, atmospheric exploration, and even fewer can believably make those two work. Had it stuck the landing...
Combat still needs work, but is unique enough that players will still find some entertainment in the limb chomping and weapon customization/upgrading. But don't be surprised if, just like with the first Dead Island, Riptide starts to overstay its welcome after a few hours. In a lot of ways, it...
There are so many little touches strewn about that even the title's odes to gaming's past are enough to make it worth recommending. That being said, the game still carves its own path, making the Metroidvania genre more accessible than ever. Players that like a little comedy in their games,...
[NOTE: There are massive audio problems with the game for players using a home theater set-up. Sound effects fail to register, audio syncing is off, and occasionally the audio will drop out altogether. Sony is working on a patch that should be out some time next week, but it's worth...
