Players attracted to the visuals and style may be alarmed to find the combat so frequent (and the writing uneven), but anyone even mildly interested in JRPG combat should give this game a look. Issues aside, it's a clear sign that even big-budget studios can stray from the beaten path with...
The 'Cold, Cold Heart' DLC is rewarding enough for restless fans, but with so much time and resources committed to the campaign, it's surprising there isn't more meat on the bone. It's a shame, since this standalone introduction to a famous villain is the kind of formula that could have...
With all that being said, Trials Fusion is still a successful culmination of the lessons learned from all prior releases, and as a result it is the most refined entry in the franchise thus far, even if it's not the best. It will likely disappoint those gamers who were hoping...
If you're looking for a Kinect title for the entire family, or one that merely shows the benefits of next-gen hardware hold promise for motion controlled gaming, then Kinect Sports Rivals won't disappoint. If you're hoping for a sports simulator that succeeds at every turn, well... you've likely got a lot more...
That being said, what Coffee Stain Studios has managed to pull out of the concept is an impressive feat in and of itself. In a way, Goat Simulator calls to mind the other big "Simulator" game, Surgeon Simulator 2013, in that it doesn't try to take players money and run....
Burial at Sea: Episode 2 is a perfect send-off for a franchise that defined a generation of console shooters. It isn't without its faults, but the new stealth gameplay is a welcome re-purposing of the tried and true BioShock mechanics. More importantly, Episode 2 is a marvel of storytelling: a...
inFAMOUS: Second Son is essentially the best X-Men game that isn't an X-Men game and owners of superhero properties need to take a serious look at what Sucker Punch delivers with their PlayStation 4 debut title. Second Son may not offer much newness in terms of gameplay, story or progression,...
It would have been nice to see an online mode for those gamers who can't corral a group at the drop of a hat, but, at the same time, the idea of hopping online runs opposite the game's main goal of delivering the instant satisfaction, or crushing defeat, that comes...
When we first went hands-on with Titanfall we were dying to play more, and that still holds true today. What Respawn Entertainment has created is addictive, thoughtful, and accessible to a wide variety of gamers. It might not feel completely fresh, or deserving of its next-gen label, but the game...
The turn-based combat is too straightforward (and before long, overpowered) to satisfy those seeking a deeper experience, but Obsidian has covered all their bases. The mechanics may not be more impressive than they had to be, but the wealth of flourishes and show-quality storytelling is an extremely pleasant surprise. Even...
Putting players in control of Dracula in a Castlevania game was a bold move, one that could have made Lords of Shadow 2 a worthy successor to an underappreciated character action title. Unfortunately, some appallingly bad gameplay decisions, a meandering narrative, and lackluster level design weigh this sequel down enough...
Players looking for a co-op experience will find something worth playing with friends casually in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, and it offers polished, harmless and simple gameplay that works for all ages but at a stiff price. The game as its currently designed however, seems to lend itself well to...
