NBA Live 15 makes some key improvements, but this franchise still doesn't feel quite ready for prime time.
The deep and challenging gameplay this series is known for is still front and center, but NBA 2K15's myriad technical problems put a damper on the experience.
Advanced Warfare's increased focus on player mobility makes a huge impact that freshens up the action and, in some ways, makes every other game in the franchise feel obsolete by comparison.
Insomniac gets back to what it does best with this smirking, fast-moving romp through a gleefully silly open world.
Shinji Mikami returns to the genre that defined him, but the result is a jumbled mess of ideas that never quite come together.
Firaxis' sci-fi spin on Civilization V has some intriguing ideas that, sadly, don't come together into an equally engaging experience.
Platinum Games' sequel delivers nuanced, non-stop action that stands among the best in its genre.

For the first time in the franchise's 15-year history, you can pummel your friends on the go. It comes with some drawbacks, but not enough to get in the way of another chaotic, fun experience.
This odd Wii U collaboration plays like a guided tour of The Legend of Zelda's most iconic locations and characters. The price of admission? Playing a bunch of Dynasty Warriors.
Destiny is a beautiful but hollow experience with most of the pieces you'd expect from a great multiplayer shooter. It just can't find a way to fit them all together.

It's got its share of holdover problems, but Madden NFL 15 at least represents a positive step forward for this series.
