Tales from the Borderlands Episode 2: Atlas Mugged is a rare misstep from two talented, experienced developers in Telltale Games and Gearbox Software.

6.5 / 10.0 - Dead Rising 3
Sep 22, 2014

While Capcom did give plenty of warning that this game would only run at 30 fps, the poorness of the port wil put many PC gamers off. If you can put up with that though the game is enjoyable and satisfying, with some very clever simplifications.

80 / 100 - Tropico 5
May 21, 2014

Tropico 5 works in a lot key areas. The controls and interface are familiar and rock-solid, and the spicy music and comical cast keep it fresh. A near-endless supply of customization options adds a necessary strategy element to the title. Dated graphics and a hopeless multiplayer section damage its overall appeal, but fans of the Tropico series and its competitors won't be disappointed by the newest offering.

82 / 100 - War Thunder
Jun 2, 2014

War Thunder surprised me. I am not very good at it, but I still have a lot of fun playing it. Because it is a free-to-play game, some players will download it on a whim and quit 20 minutes in due to the poor controls. Those that brave the steep learning curve will be rewarded with a realistic combat simulator that could be truly great one day.

I absolutely loved Wasteland 2. It succeeds on a variety of levels and manages to overcome its shortcomings by the sheer force of its overwhelming strengths.
