More than anything, the Nazi-controlled world the game creates colors the entire proceedings, making the game's hero seem more of an 'underdog' than most games starring a one-man killing machine achieve. Blazkowicz is a soldier (and a good one at that), and with his friends behind him, they set out...

After some of the forward progress made by Beenox themselves, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 feels like a step backwards for the franchise and for the viability of open-world superhero games in general. It’s not really a game that’s broken, and at times, it's quite beautiful, but it’s also far too...

Players attracted to the visuals and style may be alarmed to find the combat so frequent (and the writing uneven), but anyone even mildly interested in JRPG combat should give this game a look. Issues aside, it's a clear sign that even big-budget studios can stray from the beaten path with...

The 'Cold, Cold Heart' DLC is rewarding enough for restless fans, but with so much time and resources committed to the campaign, it's surprising there isn't more meat on the bone. It's a shame, since this standalone introduction to a famous villain is the kind of formula that could have...

If you're looking for a Kinect title for the entire family, or one that merely shows the benefits of next-gen hardware hold promise for motion controlled gaming, then Kinect Sports Rivals won't disappoint. If you're hoping for a sports simulator that succeeds at every turn, well... you've likely got a lot more...

The turn-based combat is too straightforward (and before long, overpowered) to satisfy those seeking a deeper experience, but Obsidian has covered all their bases. The mechanics may not be more impressive than they had to be, but the wealth of flourishes and show-quality storytelling is an extremely pleasant surprise. Even...

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze could have been a straight port of the Wii original, but Retro Studios took the winning formula and expertly built upon it. The sheer challenge, puzzle pieces, K-O-N-G letters, and hidden exits all combine to create an addictive and highly replayable side-scroller that is absolutely...

The final gripe with OlliOlli is actually a complimentary one, and that is that it isn’t a Cross-Buy title for the PS3 or PS4. This is easily a title that many would gladly sit in on the couch and sink some quality time into. Fun. Tense. Challenging. Quick. Endlessly replayable....

At some point EA Sports had to release a basketball game. That is exactly what they did. It’s not the best, and it can barely be considered good. In fact, it's not good. NBA Live 14 producer Sean O’Brien posted an apology of sorts only four days after the games...

That being said, there is more than enough to keep the moment-to-moment experience worth playing, especially if a group of friends can be gathered to jump in together. It was no secret that Electronic Arts sought out the minds behind Burnout Paradise to inject some attitude and innovation into the...

What gamers will get is a well-balanced fighter that takes time to teach users how to play against foes online and offline — and have fun while doing so. There isn't much to Killer Instinct quite yet, but there's a lot of potential that the resurrected series still has up...

It's no surprise that Dead Rising 3 is not a game for everyone. That fact has become synonymous with the series. While it may not push the boundaries of next-gen in the conventional graphical sense, Dead Rising manages to do something special for the Xbox One's launch lineup. It may...
