Until Dawn
Adventure games have mostly evolved into the choice based heavily story driven experiences. We’ve seen this in the past with games like Beyond: Two Souls, Indigo Prophecy, and Heavy Rain. Until Dawn perfects this type of storytelling with precise decision making, great characters, and intense story, and something to always

Gears of War 4
First off I have to say Gears of War is one of my favorite game series of all time. It was the first game to really show me true next-generation fidelity when I got my Xbox 360 on Christmas of 2006. The art style, the characters, the lore, the story,

Life is Strange - Season One
Have you ever wanted to time travel and change the past? How about just the last 30 seconds? You get that option in Life is Strange. You play as Maxine Caulfield who discovers she can rewind time by saving her lifetime childhood friend from a fatal gunshot wound in the

Doom (2016)
Well, 2016 seems to be a great year for the comeback of shooters. First Overwatch, now DOOM (well in reviewing order). DOOM could have gone so bad, so quickly. However, id Software went back to its roots, updated it for the 2016 technology, and gave the middle finger to all

Stasis
Point and click adventures are a dying breed. They used to rule the 90’s when computers weren’t quite powerful enough to fully render beautiful and detailed environments. Instead, they would be pre-rendered images or animation that played out with triggered scripts. This was carried over into consoles with games like

Forza Motorsport 5
The racing simulator has always been a tough one to win. Lately, the series has somewhat died with Gran Turismo underperforming since the fourth entry and losing the crown. Games like Dirt, Project Cars, and various other indie PC titles have taken over for the most part. Forza has been

Rise of the Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider (2012) was a revolutionary game for the franchise and genre as a whole. It took the game industry by storm with its cinematic gameplay, fantastic visuals, huge open world, and realism. What could Crystal Dynamics do to top this you ask? It’s pretty hard to top that and

Firewatch
I just played this game in one long 4 hours sitting and I’m a little emotional about it. The game is completely story driven and not one of those s*hitty Steam Early Access survival games that are becoming a plague. Instead, we get a linear adventure game with no combat

Tales from the Borderlands - Season One
Borderlands is well known as a shooter RPG hybrid but with little to no story.T here’s a lot of potential with a great Borderlands story and Telltale games finally delivered that. TftB is a fantastic story driven game with memorable characters and enough Borderlands lore and quips to make a

SOMA
Have you ever wondered what would happen if humanity was on the brink of extinction? I really mean it to, not just in a cheesy sci-fi movie way. Soma makes you truly and honestly think about this and it scares the c*rap out of me. Right up front , want

Batman: Arkham Knight
The Batman Arkham games are some of the greatest things to grace the video game industry in the past decade. With the most advanced combat system since G*od of War; and not to mention the best super hero video games series ever made; Arkham Knight continues this trend. While Origins

Dying Light
Zombie games are everywhere now, but they have also gotten better over the years. Zombies are probably the most iconic horror character ever, and most everyone is fascinated by them. However, a new fascination has started coming around: What would happen if we truly and honestly were hit by a

Valiant Hearts: The Great War
It’s been a long time since I have played a game through an entire day and couldn’t put it down. Valiant Hearts will keep you instantly glued to the screen thanks to its rich history, characters, and story. Valiant Hearts is probably the only WW1 game I can remember playing.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Bioware has a knack for creating D&D style games that are memorable years down the road. Dragon Age is one such series. Origins helped push forward the way stories are told in Western RPGs. This was with dialog choices that would impact your relationship with fellow party members and the

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Call of Duty has had a steady downfall since Modern Warfare 3. Ghosts was a great change for the series, but it just wasn’t enough. Advanced Warfare is the first CoD game to be developed outside of Treyarch and Infinity Ward and this is probably one of the best things

Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition
"Diablo III is one of the most long-awaited games in history. StarCraft II and Duke Nukem Forever are in the same boat, but Diablo III is something else. Everyone who played the last two games were either in high school or college at the time and are now in their

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
So here I was thinking this game was going to be something completely new and exciting when I realized it was pretty much a port of A Link to the Past. That’s not really a bad thing since many younger gamers have never played that game before. What I also

Tearaway
Media Molecule is known for innovation. LittleBigPlanet was a huge revolution in creative sandbox gameplay and platforming. Tearaway does the same thing for the Vita, but for the platforming genre. The game is the best looking game for Vita and is the only game out that uses all of the

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call
Final Fantasy has had some strange offshoots like Chocobo Racing, Kingdom Hearts, and the TBS Tactics. A rhythm game is probably the only genre Final Fantasy hasn’t touched and it’s one that the game belongs in. Final Fantasy is full of some of the best video game music ever created.

Super Mario 3D World
I have a confession. I’ve never beat a 3D Mario game. And I’ve never gotten a game on the first day that it came out. Super Mario 3D World changed both of those things, and I’m glad that it was the game to do that. You see, Mario 3D World
