Tiny Brains
You can play Tiny Brains alone, but this puzzle game is built for co-op. You combine the unique powers of four rodents in different ways to move through a lab. You can play by yourself, switching between the rodents, or with up to three other players.
Playing in a big sandbox is fun, and sandboxes don’t get much bigger than Mars. Super Motherload is all about digging ever deeper down into the ground, and regularly returning to the surface to refuel, sell items, and upgrade your abilities. The repetition of going up and down so many...
After a three-year absence including two aborted games, EA Sports is finally stepping back onto the hardcourt with NBA Live 14. Over the course of its struggles, EA continued to express its unwavering commitment to the NBA, promising a return to the glory years where Live was a formidable sports franchise. Perhaps that dedication...

Dead Rising 3
In a new generation of hardware with several multi-platform, cross-generation launch titles, many gamers are struggling to point out exactly how the new hardware unlocks new possibilities — Dead Rising 3 stands as a clear example.

Last year’s reboot of the XCOM series was a masterwork. Its deep strategy and intense firefights required careful scheming, but putting a bullet through the last invader’s overgrown skull was one of my favorite moments of 2012. The game was so finely balanced that I thought adding to it would...
Battlefield 4
As someone who originally enlisted in Battlefield 1942, tracking the series' trajectory has been interesting. What originally started as a multiplayer-only hardcore PC shooter has steadily evolved over the last decade to achieve mass success. Along the way, developer DICE has built on its solid foundation of team-focused air, land, and sea battles with impressive new...
Halo: Spartan Assault feels like a Halo game, which is no small feat considering it plays very differently from the original first-person shooter that set the genre standard on consoles. As a twin-stick shooter, Spartan Assault has more in common with Robotron and Geometry Wars, but it still hits almost...
Dota 2
How do you improve a game that has millions of active players, spawned an entire genre, and introduced new words into the gamer vernacular while it was still a mod for a decade-old strategy game? Valve chose not to, instead approaching Dota 2 more like chess. The game itself is...
