If there is one drawback to Terraria, it is just how little the game prepares players for what lies in store. The tutorial passes on the first tips for mining and crafting, but without any indication that the game is structured more predictably than the first hours might imply, plenty...
There are so many little touches strewn about that even the title's odes to gaming's past are enough to make it worth recommending. That being said, the game still carves its own path, making the Metroidvania genre more accessible than ever. Players that like a little comedy in their games,...
[NOTE: There are massive audio problems with the game for players using a home theater set-up. Sound effects fail to register, audio syncing is off, and occasionally the audio will drop out altogether. Sony is working on a patch that should be out some time next week, but it's worth...
For everyone else, the game should be skipped, outside of an eventual rental or bargain bin acquisition for friends looking for a two-player day of carnage. The Devil's Cartel represents another missed opportunity for the series to expand on gameplay and multiplayer features. While there's some fun dialogue and character moments,...
BioShock: Infinite is built from story and atmosphere first, which alone makes it a must-play experience for any self-respecting shooter fan. Providing an adventure that is as memorable as it is inspired, we're willing to accept combat that tries to offer an endlessly entertaining and visually stunning experience instead of...
In short, SimCity is a title with great potential that has been sullied by limited features and one of the worst video-game launches in recent memory. The questionable exclusion of an offline mode led to an explosion of problems, including fundamental game-changers like smaller city sizes and players being unable...
LEGO City: Undercover is a wonderful addition the Wii U's sorely lacking library, and one that acts as a promising sign that future platform-exclusive software will deliver on the promises that Nintendo has made. While the lack of co-op, lackluster combat, and stagnant load times take away from the game,...
While maintaining the fun action and polish players expect and providing more solid co-op experiences, Gears of War: Judgment feels rushed, and immediately dated. It's a package missing too many elements replaced by gimmicks, and instead of taking the franchise forward, takes steps back in nearly every way. There's fun...
Like the many successful origin stories of contemporary film franchises — Batman (with the Dark Knight Trilogy), Iron Man, Star Trek and even James Bond (with Skyfall or Casino Royale) — Tomb Raider grasps the notion that with great risk comes great pliability. The reward only comes after molding a...
In another, earlier era - say, roughly ten years ago - it's easy to imagine that Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time would be a blockbuster. It's the whole package: gorgeous graphics, excellent design, charming characters, lengthy quest. Today, it's a different story. The entire 3D action/platforming genre has fallen out...
It's remarkable how clearly Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance reflects the sensibilities of both Platinum Games and Kojima Productions. This truly is a game neither studio could have produced on its own. That said, it's fair to wonder who, exactly, the audience for Revengeance is. Action game junkies are apt to...
What's worse is that this is a game that leverages a beloved sci-fi property to suck as many $60 purchases out of fans as it can. The Aliens faithful have already shown their willingness to jump head first into anything that loosely connects to the franchise, so in that regard...
