Call of Duty: WWII feels like the mass market play-it-safe product that it is rather than a sincere attempt to revitalize the franchise.
Murdered: Soul Suspect is caught between the uneasy middle ground of a big budget release and what should have been a more economic digital-only, episodic series.
An excellent introduction to action game tropes for very young players and an enjoyable if undemanding tread for more experienced gamers.
It's certainly not light on content, but it is light in variety.
Sets a strong foundation from which to build on for the rest of the new hardware cycle.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is pretty damn great.
Pokémon X and Y is an enjoyable but uneven experience.
Watch Dogs satisfactorily fulfills its premise but not quite its promise. It is not a game-changer by any means, but it is well-crafted, high-quality, adult entertainment.
Rayman Legends is a remarkable step up from its already excellent predecessor.
