The Last Agent doesn't end Dead Rising 3's Untold Stories of Los Perdidos side-narrative arc with a bang, but it does a serviceable job of bringing things to a close.
Although its overall run time is brief, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is well made, addictive and thoroughly entertaining. It may not be Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but it does a good job of lessening our anxiety as we wait for that full-length sequel to drop.
inFAMOUS: Second Son is a visceral treat to behold and a fun game overall, but it's on the short side and features slightly dated gameplay designs.
Kinect Sports Rivals isn't the incredible demo that Microsoft's Kinect 2.0 peripheral needs in order to prove its worth, but it still exists as a relatively fun game.
LEGO The Hobbit is a tried-and-true LEGO game that could've been better. Still, it's worth checking out if you're a fan of the fiction and/or TT Games' familiar interactive formula.
Mario Golf: World Tour isn't a hole-in-one. Instead, its lack of an immersive career mode, and its problematic shot camera knock it back to a mere birdie.
Despite being a downgrade from its most recent predecessor, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 remains an above-average movie game that fans of the web-slinging superhero should find enjoyment in.
Whistleblower is an impressive and welcomed addition to Red Barrels' Outlast canon, and is incredibly easy to recommend as a result.
Bound by Flame is a rough and dated-feeling role-playing game, but those who can look past its flaws will find a relatively enjoyable experience.
Mario Kart 8 is a nearly flawless kart racer, which is only marred by its developer's confusing decision to alter its traditional Battle Mode.
Wolfenstein: The New Order is made up of some interesting parts, but is decidedly unspectacular as a whole.
With Watch Dogs, Ubisoft Montreal has created an interesting, immersive and innovative new IP, which will hopefully end up marking the beginning of a great series.
Murdered: Soul Suspect is a flawed interactive crime drama, which will only appeal to a certain audience. Gamers who like narrative-focused titles should give it a chance, while those who usually avoid linear experiences should save their time and money.
With Valiant Hearts: The Great War, Ubisoft Montpellier has created something magical. That is, a game which manages to convey the seriousness of war, while also being creative and imaginative. All of this is done in an incredibly respectful manner; so much so that the game acts as both a teacher and an entertainer throughout its colourful narrative.
Risen 3: Titan Lords suffers from many of the same faults that affected Risen 2, but offsets them by presenting a lengthy and immersive quest.
inFAMOUS: First Light is an entertaining and well-made prequel to inFAMOUS: Second Son, but it's kept from greatness by repetitive mission types and familiar tropes.
NHL 15 is a missed opportunity and a bit of a mess overall. It feels unfinished, and is lacking fan favourite modes, making it hard to recommend to anyone but the diehards.
By overlooking features that have made other massively multiplayer games and first-person shooter/RPG hybrids successful, Bungie has created a game that lacks immersion and is in need of a wow factor. Still, thanks to some quality gunplay, addictive multiplayer and beautiful presentation, Destiny exists as a decent game and isn't a bad way to spend one's time.
FIFA 15 is a great soccer game, but it feels a bit sterile due to a lack of creative thinking.
Bad Blood won't win Watch Dogs any new fans, but those who loved the main game will want to give it a shot.
