Killer Instinct returns as an Xbox One exclusive after a long hiatus. It's one of the most thrilling and enjoyable games at the start of this new console generation, despite feeling skimpy in some areas.
Titanfall, the Xbox One's first big tent-pole release, thrills with fast-paced mech-shooting action that appeals to FPS noobs and vets alike.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance forged a bold, new direction for the acclaimed stealth-action franchise when it was released on home video game consoles, and now it's made even better with the move to 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.
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.

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.
