Army of Two has never been an especially bad series, it’s just never been an especially good one. The Devil’s Cartel is the ultimate example of this. Is it bad? Not especially. But it’s a far, far cry from good.
The game is hard to recommend to someone who picked up last year’s outing, except perhaps to the big golf enthusiasts among you who would appreciate the Legends of the Masters mode more than anyone else. If you’re like me, though, and haven’t picked up a Tiger Woods game in...
As a game, BioShock Infinite has its successes and its falterings consistent with any suitably complex piece of interactive entertainment. As a story, as an exercise in drawing the player into a believable and relevant world, as proof of exactly what a videogame can mean to a person …
While the game isn’t a genuine sea change from its predecessors, it stays true to the franchise’s foundations, and makes up for any lack of innovation with the grand, beautiful spectacle that is its hallmark. The iterative refinements Cyberconnect2 have implemented over the series’ history have helped to deepen the gameplay as...
Heart of the Swarm is a fantastic addition to the StarCraft series, and quite frankly feels on par with a $60 game. It brings almost nothing new to the table, but there’s nothing wrong with sticking to a formula you know works well. If you enjoyed Wings of Liberty, or...

So, if you’re a middle school girl currently confronting your blossoming womanhood, or just a fan of overwhelmingly...
For all its faults, charming is absolutely the word best describing LEGO City Undercover. While more could have been done to exploit the sandbox scenario, and while it sticks a bit too nervously to formula than it could have, Undercover is nonetheless a frequently pleasurable, occasionally hilarious little romp in...
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds is a simple game that anyone can pick up and play, but belies a deeper feel for combos like a traditional fighting game would, while adding a minimal skill tree for damage and speed boosts like an RPG. It’s deep without being too deep, which makes...

Tomb Raider could so easily have gone wrong, and its opening gambit looks like it’s heading down a most erroneous path. It starts off with some ambushing QTEs and absolutely pummels Lara Croft into the dirt to such a degree, you’d almost suspect the developers were getting off on it....
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is not a better game than its predecessor. It’s the game that the audience demanded, however, and ably delivers on those demands. If you’ve already played Dead Rising 2, the question as to how much you need to play Off the Record should be...
