If there is one drawback to Terraria, it is just how little the game prepares players for what lies in store. The tutorial passes on the first tips for mining and crafting, but without any indication that the game is structured more predictably than the first hours might imply, plenty...
BioShock: Infinite is built from story and atmosphere first, which alone makes it a must-play experience for any self-respecting shooter fan. Providing an adventure that is as memorable as it is inspired, we're willing to accept combat that tries to offer an endlessly entertaining and visually stunning experience instead of...
LEGO City: Undercover is a wonderful addition the Wii U's sorely lacking library, and one that acts as a promising sign that future platform-exclusive software will deliver on the promises that Nintendo has made. While the lack of co-op, lackluster combat, and stagnant load times take away from the game,...
Like the many successful origin stories of contemporary film franchises — Batman (with the Dark Knight Trilogy), Iron Man, Star Trek and even James Bond (with Skyfall or Casino Royale) — Tomb Raider grasps the notion that with great risk comes great pliability. The reward only comes after molding a...
In another, earlier era - say, roughly ten years ago - it's easy to imagine that Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time would be a blockbuster. It's the whole package: gorgeous graphics, excellent design, charming characters, lengthy quest. Today, it's a different story. The entire 3D action/platforming genre has fallen out...
It's remarkable how clearly Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance reflects the sensibilities of both Platinum Games and Kojima Productions. This truly is a game neither studio could have produced on its own. That said, it's fair to wonder who, exactly, the audience for Revengeance is. Action game junkies are apt to...
Double Fine is so convinced that Kinect Party will strike a chord with families of all ages (not to mention family gatherings over the holidays) that they're offering it for free from now until December 31. That's a marketing strategy we'd like to see more of, and there's no better...
It's not really fair to penalize Skylanders Giants for failing to be the Toy Story 3 of video games, but it's only because what Toys for Bob has achieved is so good to start with that we want even more from them. There's always next time, but until then, Skylanders...
Overall, Scribblenauts Unlimited is without a doubt the best installment in the series to date. With the ability to completely customize almost everything, there's almost no limit to what gamers will be able to create. A few of the missions can cause some frustration and bombing through the tasks will...
Anyone who invests in the PS3 game will also score a digital copy of the Vita version for free, making it a worthwhile deal for game-hungry portable aficionados. Superbot Entertainment and Sony have managed to create something that gamers will be playing with friends for quite some time to come,...
Hotline Miami is a thrill ride worthy of any gamer's time. The frustration of repeated deaths may wear on some gamers, and the ultraviolent gameplay may, understandably, nauseate others, but the rush of playing a game structured like a combination of all the best and most brutal 80s action movies...
Horizon supports both Kinect and SmartGlass. Kinect integration is smartly limited to navigating the world. Saying "GPS" brings up a small menu that allows players to choose the next event, the nearest event, or the Horizon Festival's central hub as their destination - after that, just follow the arrows on...
