Halo 4
Overall, Halo 4 is the game that fans were hoping it would be. It's the best looking installment in the illustrious franchise yet, but the thing that makes this title so appealing is the seemingly endless amount of content that it comes packed with. There's no denying the immense replay...
As the first major content update launches this week, ArenaNet will be able to start molding Guild Wars 2 into the game that they envisioned it would be. The Guild Wars that launched back in 2005 is a completely different game than the Guild Wars of 2012. ArenaNet knows the...
For that matter, The Journey's voice acting and score are both top notch, as is the on-screen performance of Gabriel during cutscenes, his subtly exaggerated features easily communicating a wide range of emotions and clearly reflecting his state of mind. He's a likable, distinct hero who frankly deserves a better...
Despite some odd menu design choices and a few online hiccups, MVC:O does a tremendous job of preserving the fun and challenging experiences that made both of these games special. It shines a light on a turning point within the history of the fighting genre and manages to let players...
Despite a few issues with the otherwise fun multiplayer mode, Joe Danger 2 The Movie stands out as one of the best games available on Xbox Live Arcade. Completing "Movie Mode" doesn't even scratch the surface of the huge amount of content in this title. With a mode devoted to...
Way of the Samurai 4 is really just a smattering of good ideas and bad design choices. There's a lot to do in the city of Amihama, but it's hidden behind an obtrusive menu system, and further pulled down by sub-par combat. The amount of choice available is a great addition...
Overall, Sleeping Dogs is a nearly seamless, action-packed open world experience, whose pros vastly outweigh the cons. The story and its characters are thoroughly engaging, even more so than Grand Theft Auto's attempts thus far. While not a game-changer, Sleeping Dogs is certainly a step in the right direction, and a huge...
By the end of the game, enemy grunts suddenly are overpowered, and the players may find themselves wasting health items right before the big boss battle. This is the only spot of the game that may require some grinding in order to level up and acquire the best gear. Unfortunately,...
This is one of those games that you'll play through once and never touch again - unlike similar games (such as Limbo). There's still a lot to like about the title though, so if it's something you've been anticipating for a while, you're not likely to be disappointed. If you're just...
Of course, with so many fun and positive aspects, there are also a few pitfalls. Avatar movements can be clunky and easily interrupted; fired shots sometimes don't end up landing where one would expect; and large chunks of castle can be held up, rather unconvincingly, by a very small area....
Still, swinging through Manhattan as Spider-Man is a blast, and Web Rush is a great mechanic that begs further use. Yes, The Amazing Spider-Man is derivative and graphically underwhelming, but it's also breezily playable and cheerfully entertaining. It may be nothing more than a movie tie-in game, but The Amazing Spider-Man...
Those looking into Spec Ops: The Line are going to find a worthwhile game. While the gameplay could use a few tweaks, the story more than makes up for it. Unfortunately for multiplayer junkies, the single-player is the only draw here, as the online component just doesn't hold up. But...
