Jeffrey L. Wilson's Reviews
Boasting tons of fun weapons, eight unique playable characters, and a novel team-based combat option, Shock Troopers is one of the best run-and-gun shooters for the PC.
Not for the faint of heart, DoDonPachi Resurrection is a classic, tough-as-nails shoot 'em up that boasts a complex but incredibly satisfying combat system for single or two-player alien-blasting action.
One of the best fighting games ever made finally receives a Steam port. It isn't a perfect representation of the classic fighter, but the strategic, combo-friendly gameplay remains intact.
Should Telltale Games continue its strong storytelling in these upcoming episodes, the wait will be well worth it. Batman: The Telltale Series gives Bat-fans a version of the character, and of Gotham City, that haven't been previously explored in video game form. As a result, Batman: The Telltale Series feels fresh, despite cherry picking familiar elements from decades of Batman history.
The best video game version of the Caped Crusader to come along in some time, Batman: The Telltale Series delivers the action and characterizations that you'd expect from a property based on the Dark Knight Detective.
A masterstroke of open-world game design, Forza Horizon 3 is the best arcade-style racing game on PC. However, the need for a persistent Internet connection, and some frame rate issues, keep this speedy journey across the Australian countryside from perfection.
The Last Blade brings thrilling and strategic sword-based combat to Windows PCs, but the game's barren online play means that you'll need to mix it up with local friends.
The Phantom Pain, the final Metal Gear game from Hideo Kojima, is one of the best stealth games ever conceived. The story doesn't match the usual excellent Metal Gear Solid standard, but the game's interlocking pieces are exquisite.
A rousing version of America's favorite pastime, Baseball Stars 2 shines as one of the best arcade-style sports games for the PC.
Street Fighter V deftly blends new and classic characters and gameplay. Despite extremely polished combat, however, Capcom's newest fighting game is a bare-bones effort that's plagued with server issues. Pass on this game until Capcom fixes it.
Deathsmiles brings gothic shooting action to the PC courtesy of developer Cave, and save for a few niggles, it's an all-around excellent 2D shooter.
Swery's trippy, time-traveling tale of love and murder is one of the best point-and-click adventure games on PC. If you like strong stories, humor, and memorable characters, get this game.
Killer Is Dead: Nightmare Edition, developer Suda51's spiritual successor to Killer 7, boasts impressive, dark visuals and exciting combat, but ho-hum enemy and level design prevent it from slaying the competition.
Patched into playable form, the formerly broken Ultra Street Fighter IV is now one of the PC's premier fighting games.
Game studio Cave brings its addictive, hardcore shooter classic to PC with a wealth of features, options, and gameplay modes.
If you've ever fantasized about managing the day-to-day operations of a Major League Baseball team, Out Of The Park Baseball 2016 lets you scratch that itch in a significant way, despite cumbersome menus.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's deep, open-world stealth and troop management, fun music, and excellent combat add up to an absorbing, stunning experience, despite some significant flaws.
The Wolf Among Us, Telltale's journey into the world of Bill Willingham's Fables, is a well-crafted point-and-click adventure game that thrills, despite being light on puzzles and challenge.
Visually, The Legend of Korra looks very much like the TV show on which it is based, but the paper-thin story and repetitive fights make for a lackluster game.
Destiny is a flashy and beautiful but somewhat generic online space shooter.
