Dan Stapleton's Reviews
New abilities, tough enemies and more maps make XCOM: Enemy Within a superb expansion, but the ending needs an upgrade.
Contrast is a game full of heart, beauty, and at least a few excellent puzzles.
With zombies, more is better. Dead Rising 3 delivers the undead and great tools to kill them with by the truckload.
Thief has good stealth going for it, but everything connecting its few relatively open scenarios is a mess.
Goat Simulator is a clever piece of interactive satire powered by hilarious ragdoll physics and its embracing of bugs.
Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a dynamic and atmospheric stealth game that'll kill you politely.
Watch Dogs is an excellent open-world action game with some unique hacking-magic that makes it a memorable experience.
An incredibly challenging recreation of the classic X-COM: UFO Defense, Xenonauts a little too loyal for its own good.
Infamous: First Light gives us more of the great action of Second Son, but doesn't have the same super-powered variety.
With zombies, more is better. Dead Rising 3 delivers the undead and great tools to kill them with by the truckload.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's great action and dynamic enemies make both victory and defeat an amazing experience.
Free-form Street Sweep missions steal the show from T-Bone in Watch Dogs: Bad Blood.
Defense Grid 2 is just as addictive as 2008's Defense Grid: Awakening, but lacks the original's surprising heart.
What a disappointment. Even with a reputable developer behind it, The Legend of Korra game left us bent out of shape.
Some of its new ideas work better than others, but Civilization: Beyond Earth retains its addictive 4X qualities.
It's one of the best games available today.
The creepy-cute dungeons of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth are amazingly different and challenging every time.
Game of Thrones Ep 1: Iron from Ice is a strong start for Telltale's adventure in George R. R. Martin's fantasy world.
The Lost Lords neglects to advance the Forresters' story in meaningful ways as it introduces new characters.
Gearbox gives Homeworld the respect it deserves in this impressive refitting of Relic's classic
