As the United Planet Chair, you smile as your recent resolution passes – you’ve been currying favor from other council races for a while now, and you know that the recent vote will be the final maneuver for your total control of the galaxy. The best part? You took over...
I can hear the guard in the other room wake up as I extract a hard drive’s worth of corporate lies from a secure databank. Seconds later, an alarm goes off and the automated surveillance system sends a security detail to check on the situation. A safe full of credits...
Ever since The Witcher's 2007 debut, the series has been raising the bar for choice and consequence in role-playing games. Every entry in the series has taken the concept one step further, but The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the most ambitious attempt yet, showing the ripple effect of tons...
Few things can grab your attention like a modern revival of one of your favorite childhood brands. While Chroma Squad isn’t a licensed Power Rangers game, it doesn’t shy away from acknowledging the influence; the title screen even includes a nod to Power Rangers. When this nostalgia-laden inspiration meets simplistic...
The Wolfenstein bloodline is one of the richest veins in the first-person shooter lineage. Only six games have appeared in the series since the hallowed 1992 3D release that kicked off the genre, and every entry (excluding the milquetoast 2009 release) has garnered some degree of praise. Machine Games has...

Good music can make or break a game. A catchy stage theme can burrow into your head longer than a radioactive earwig, while the most abrasive offenders suffer music's worst fate: the mute button. Crypt of the Necrodancer pulls off the improbable, delivering three awesome soundtracks and allowing you to weave your own music...
The life of a dungeon lord isn’t easy – you have a legion of snotlings complaining about their wages, lazy orcs getting drunk off the dwindling beer supply, and your mana reserve is dangerously low. The do-gooders above ground are upset at your subterranean digging and delving, and they keep...
Convoy
You’re blazing through the wastelands with two cars pumping out rocket barrages and gunfire on opposing bandits seeking to take out your mobile command vehicle. Scenery whizzes by as you make haste to prevent your cars from crashing into an errant mountain or building. Locking on to opponents and taking...
Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China – the first in a planned downloadable trilogy – is the best spin-off the franchise has received so far, rising high above the mostly garbage mobile and handheld titles. The 2.5D stealth title blends signature Assassin’s Creed elements and plenty of influence from 2012’s Mark of...
