"Remastered" is an apt term to apply to Grim Fandango, as it is indeed a retouching of a masterpiece. Whether you're a returning fan, or entering the Land of the Dead for the first time, Grim Fandango is an absolute must play for fans of interactive storytelling.

8.8 / 10.0 - Bayonetta 2
Nov 21, 2014

Even if offered on its own, Bayonetta 2 could be easily considered the best action of the year, as well as one of the best games of the year period. When grouped with the first game, the whole package is almost too good to be true.

Oct 24, 2014

It's taken over two decades, but Creative Assembly has cracked the code for what makes a great Alien game.

There are not many games I feel compelled to return to after reviewing them, but Lego Marvel Super Heroes is the rare exception.

8.3 / 10.0 - Wasteland 2
Oct 15, 2014

Like the post-apocalyptic wasteland in which it is set, Wasteland 2 is unforgiving, but unlike a real apocalypse, it's a blast to experience.

As a prologue to The Phantom Pain, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is disappointing. But a demo it is not, and taken on its own, there is plenty here to enjoy.

Perhaps brush up on Dynasty Warriors 8 first, and if you like what it has to offer, then Empires might be for you.

6.5 / 10.0 - The Order: 1886
Feb 24, 2015

With The Order: 1886, Ready at Dawn has created a compelling world, and one I'd be happy to return to if there ever were a sequel, but failed to populate it with an interesting story or engaging gameplay.

6.2 / 10.0 - The Evil Within
Nov 11, 2014

The Evil Within's biggest sin is that it just isn't particularly scary.

There's lots to appreciate about Bladestorm: Nightmare, with only its drawn-out gameplay and technical issues holding it back. Until those are worked out, perhaps this series is destined to remain with simply cult appeal.

5.9 / 10.0 - Thief

Thief effectively retains the series' focus on stealth and compelling atmosphere, I just wish it had retained the quality.

4.8 / 10.0 - Knack
Nov 24, 2013

Knack has a few good ideas scattered throughout, but it is never able to pick up the pieces.
