That's the genius of Guitar Hero Live. Rather than compete with Rock Band 4, it offers something completely different, and as such the two titles have quite different audiences. Live uses a more modern platform to deliver its content, and whether or not that's a good thing will come down...
All in all, however, Extreme Exorcism is a joy to play, and those after a frenetic indie fix with plenty of action should get themselves hooked up with Extreme Exorcism pronto. Players after more longevity and replayability may not find enough to keep them occupied, but the title packs a...
Rare Replay is exactly what's been advertised and it's so modestly priced that it's easily one of the biggest no-brainers in gaming. Anyone that was around to experience these original games will find more than enough nostalgia to warrant picking this up, while those being exposed to Rare's backlog of...
In the end, it's the characters, the environments, the music, the writing, and even the unpredictable puzzles blocking progress that give Grim Fandango its winning identity. New audiences may struggle to turn back the clock and enjoy all its challenges, but if the choice was between preserving a relic and...
Defenders of Time
It's a catch-22 in the end: difficult to recommend in its current form, yet its main path to becoming worthwhile is by having players check it out. Those willing to make the purchase should do so knowing that Defenders of Time has the potential to be a great game, but...
Assassin's Creed Rogue
The gameplay or story aren't guilty of missteps or shortcuts, with beats in both the historic and modern sides of the campaign sure to please the most devoted fans of Assassin's Creed lore. But whether it's a case of Black Flag's novelty wearing off, or simply a less ambitious goal...

There are a some technical glitches here and there, which can...
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD
Besides being a lacking launch of the Summer of Arcade, anyone but the most devoted of fans would be wise to save their money and time, and dig out their PlayStation or Dreamcast if some nostalgia is needed. The developers are open to DLC in the future, so who knows...
Awesomenauts is a game that walks a very difficult tightrope, and for the most part, does so with a good deal of success. Cracking the code and delivering a game that entices both the casual and hardcore crowd is no small feat, and Ronimo has done a (mostly) solid job....
A lot has been made of developer’s strides to incorporate the fluidity, control, and weight of an FPS into Max Payne 3’s third-person formula; with Bullet Time at its best, a rock-solid targeting system, and gorgeous physics, it possesses a killer finesse that any top-tier shooter can aspire to. It’s...
For fighting fans, Skullgirls has a lot to get excited about. At first glance the short roster and slim mode variety (the functional yet bare-bones online mode is adequate but doesn't offer any new ideas worth mentioning) may seem like a turn-off, but the knockout presentation, with personality to spare,...
