Those that are already in love with Destiny will no doubt forgive Rise of Iron’s shortcomings and dig into the content, but for those on the sidelines, or are waiting for the right opportunity to fall in love with Destiny, Rise of Iron is a skippable experience that can be overlooked until the inevitable full-on sequel
BioShock: The Collection successfully brings three of the best games from the last-generation to the current-generation, but not without a few hiccups.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens doesn't break any new ground like LEGO Star Wars did.
It could use a campaign, a few more game modes and refinement of its RNG system, but none of that distracts from the fact that Overwatch is an superb effort that will entertain players for an ungodly amount of time.
Ratchet & Clank is more than just a mere remake of the 2002 classic as Insomniac Games took big risks and they paid off.
Mortal Kombat XL retains the same great gameplay and content of the base game.
Taking away guns, cars and explosions sounds like a huge risk on paper, especially for a franchise that has built itself on those properties.
The term "expansion" has a dirty connotation to it nowadays.
Establishing a solid foundation for which to build a successful franchise on, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth does for Digimon what Pokémon Red/Blue did for Pokémon. It isn't perfect; its story and script could use some fine-tuning, and the world needs to be more interesting, but overall, this is a solid first step.
PopCap Games paid close attention to the criticisms of the original game and ultimately crafted a worthy sequel.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III's season of content kicks off with a solid start.
LEGO Dimensions felt like much-needed innovation for a game series that has seen little change since its inception in 2006.
There is fun to be had, especially when the spectacle of Star Wars is in full effect. That spectacle, however, soon wears off and what's left is a game with too few weapons, maps and heroes. In the end, Star Wars Battlefront is all Binks and no Fett.
LEGO Dimensions feels like it wants to be the ultimate LEGO game, but never quite gets there. The mashing of different universes comes together quite beautifully in the humorous story.
Bungie set out with a goal for Destiny: The Taken King and they have mostly succeeded. While some of the nagging problems from the original game persist – boring patrol areas, recycling of areas and enemies, and bullet-sponge enemies – Destiny: The Taken King does more than enough to make up for the sins of its predecessor.
A year later, its still hard to say bad things about this compilation. Final Fantasy X is still one of the best installments in the franchise, and the fresh coat of paint is a delightful treat.
Coming in at only $19.99, there's plenty of content and story here to make a return to Wolfenstein worth a purchase.
2011's Mortal Kombat reinvigorated the franchise by taking it back to its roots, retelling the story with a slight variation. Mortal Kombat X goes a step further and wades into uncharted territory with great results.
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection isn't the greatest remaster ever, nor is it the worst. One could argue that it wasn't necessary, as neither game is old enough to justify a port and nothing substantial has been added to the three-year-old Borderlands 2.
The campaign pulls in some strong performances from its actors and earns points for its open-design. The campaign gameplay, however, leaves much to be desired. Still, it's a step in the right direction for future Battlefield games. Hardline may not revolutionize the Battlefield brand, but it fixes many of its biggest problems.
