Zoo Tycoon is a great casual game with plenty of enjoyable animal moments, but the experience is marred by an over-emphasis on simplicity and a terrible menu interface. The graphics are certainly a strong point on the Xbox One, but other limitations take away from what truly could have been...
What gamers will get is a well-balanced fighter that takes time to teach users how to play against foes online and offline — and have fun while doing so. There isn't much to Killer Instinct quite yet, but there's a lot of potential that the resurrected series still has up...
Slender delivers plenty of solid jump-scares spread across the story mode, but there's far too much repetitive gameplay in between the actual action to make it worth the experience. In a campaign so unexpectedly short, the fact that repetitive gameplay becomes such a huge hurdle really says it all. Fans...
Knack!
Knack is a PS4 launch title developed to fit a very specific role. It's a showpiece for the next-gen console's power, and has some impressive visuals to boot. But aside from that the title is a bit of a mess, a lesson in tedium that lasts for far too long...
Resogun might seem innocuous at first, but once players peel back the layers, they will see that Resogun is a challenging, yet rewarding, space shooter with a fantastic sense of style. Granted, some players might not find the challenge worth it, or simply find that this very niche genre is...
At its core, Enemy Within is a fantastic reminder of what an expansion pack is supposed to be. Calling something like this just a downloadable content package would seem like an injustice, as Enemy Within changes the core fundamentals of an already entertaining game and literally improves on all aspects...
Aside from the above complaints and some poor announcer audio, WWE 2K14 is a very worthy entry into the lore of WWE. Die-hard fans will be smiling all the way as they eat up the 30 Years of WrestleMania mode with two spoons, find some familiarity with the rest of...
As a continuation of BioShock Infinite, both mechanically and narratively, Burial at Sea: Episode 1 is a worth playing, even if it doesn't capitalize on its potential as much as fans might hope. The combat is still as enjoyable as ever, if a bit same-y, and the game's stunning detail...
So, while the game looks the best Call of Duty ever has, it also carries too many flaws to make it a must-have title for next-gen console owners, or casual Call of Duty fans for that matter. Die-hards will still log countless hours, but long-time detractors will finally have new...
With more maps that support more playstyles, more modes, and necessary bug fixes, Battlefield 4 - like its predecessor - will go from good to great. At the moment, it doesn't do as much for players as Battlefield 3 does with its current set of offerings but it's only going...
Rain
If Rain didn't exist in the same space as games like Braid, Limbo, or Bastion, perhaps some of the shortcomings could be forgiven. But the fact is that it’s no longer enough for a game to simply get by on its art direction alone. Compelling gameplay and plot, if that’s...
Despite those flaws, Europa Universalis IV provides such a deep, challenging and unpredictable experience that it will leave hardcore strategy fans sailing back for more. This isn't a game for the feint of heart - the game stretches through almost 400 years of history, but at times it feels like...
