Credit should be given for creating a creepy atmosphere and a deep crafting system. There is plenty of entertainment to be had here once you learn the ropes, but the unforgiving deaths that help keep the tension high also rob Don’t Starve of some of its fun due to the...
I went into République anticipating a rich narrative experience that would challenge the mind more than the reflexes. While I’m certainly interested in seeing how the game plays out in subsequent chapters, I came away from the first chapter a little cold, because it struggled mightily to break away from...
With the PlayStation 4 out now and selling strongly, Gran Truismo 6 is likely Sony’s last major hurrah for the PS3. It’s perhaps a niche game in that many people would rather their racing games to come with arcade thrills, but for the more serious racing game fans out there,...
There is absolutely nothing that redeems this game. Once you’ve played through the first level you’ve fundamentally experienced everything that the game has to experience, and because there’s no real sense of progression as you play, the temptation will be there to take it back to the store for an...
What’s left is good fun, but goofy fun, and clean presentation aside it doesn’t really do the franchise justice. Or perhaps we’ve been so spoiled by the epic experiences of the console games that there was no way an iPad game was going to hit expectations. I don’t know which...

Resogun is not the deepest of titles. I never spent more than about an hour at a time with it in a single sitting, but it makes for a game that is easy to pick up and provides short but incredibly entertaining bursts of gameplay.
That tonal shift aside, Rivals is the complete package, and while we’re not exactly short of choice for racing games this Christmas with a Gran Turismo and Forza also competing for the motorhead’s time, I do feel like Rivals has done everything it can to make what boils down to...
Knack is perhaps being judged unfairly, but this was chosen to be a launch title for the PlayStation 4’s attempt to usher in of the next generation of console gaming, and it’s just not up to that task. Knack feels like an action platforming title we would have been happy...
As a relative newcomer to the sport in general and the FIFA series in particular, I found that there was certainly a learning curve to be managed with FIFA 14. That being said, I felt that EA did an excellent job in teaching me the basics and creating an entertaining...
