All-in-all, The Sims 4 is a well-polished game that does everything right - its only problem is a lack of content to keep gamers interested. Those accustomed to series know that the first game of a new sequel is always left feeling light in terms of content, and The Sims...

All gripes aside, CounterSpy is a good game that is so close to being a great game. When the its strengths are firing in unison, CounterSpy is an experience that can easily be recommended to anyone. With a vibrant visual presentation that jumps off the screen along with a sense of humor and...

When games like BioShock Infinite and The Last of Us are also forcing the player to confront questions and issues they may have never dreamed of considering prior to playing the game, it just doesn’t seem like enough yet, or that games aren’t quite there yet in the grand history...

Valiant Hearts is confident in its direction and thoughtful in its design. As a puzzle-focused, story-driven experience it isn't going to be for everyone, but those who relish the days of LucasArts' point-and-click adventures will certainly find a lot to enjoy here — doubly so if you are a history...

There is still work to be done both in and out of the actual fights, but this is one game every UFC fan will enjoy; after all, nothing compares to knocking your best friend out cold to the elated screams of commentators Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg - let alone...

With a weak main character leading the charge and some mind-numbingly dull mechanics, Murdered: Soul Suspect has little going for it in the way of exciting gameplay. The story is serviceable, and its overarching mystery is fun to see manifest into something unexpected, but the nuts and bolts are neither...

Watch Dogs is an origin story of sorts for a vigilante killer. Aiden Pearce is to Chicago what Batman is to Gotham, or more a more apt comparison would be to describe Pearce as more of a high-tech Punisher. The story is adequate to pull players through to the end...

Supergiant's vision this time around is less clear - but in this case, that seems to be a sign that the studio has increased its ambition, and is indeed pursuing a story that is more confident in its abstract and ethereal story. In a way, it's as if the poignancy...

Ultimately, Tropico 5 features a number of improvements in an attempt to separate itself from the previous games in the series. The humor of the series remains and the addition of progressing through eras give a feeling of accomplishment. The core gameplay mechanics are largely unchanged though, but there is definitely...

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...

At $14.99, Super Time Force is a great buy, and highly replayable as more characters are unlocked. There are badges to be earned for each stage (you can pick exactly what stages/segments of missions to replay) for picking up items and the sort. It's a unique, polished and challenging adventure that's...

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...
