Killer Instinct has the potential to be a top fighting game, but a lack of features and variety of characters hold it back from being something outstanding. Still, with the base game being free, there's no excuse for anyone not to at least try it out.
Need for Speed: Rivals will wow you initially, but there are too many missteps for it to keep you engaged for a sizeable length of time. The nonsensical story, surprising lack of features and an online component that may as well not be there overshadow the fantastic driving mechanics and lead to a rather monotonous game.
NBA Live 14 muscles its way to the top of the list as the worst next-gen launch title. The competition has nothing on its significantly subpar visuals, paltry commentary and incredibly stiff gameplay.
Although it's arguably the definitive version of the game, the next-generation iteration of Skylanders: Swap Force is nearly identical to its console-based predecessors. Those who enjoy family friendly action-platformers, and have been waiting for this release, will surely find a lot to enjoy. However, there's no reason to upgrade if you've already purchased and played through the title on another device.
Stick It to the Man! is a unique experience that fans of quirky humour and adventure gaming will truly enjoy.
With Mario and Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games, Nintendo had a great opportunity to produce something fantastic. However, the video game giant failed to take advantage of its source material, resulting in a mediocre and somewhat uninspired final product. There's a bit of fun to be had here, but it won't last for long.
XCOM: Enemy Within is the definitive XCOM experience. There's enough here to keep veterans of the series engaged for another playthrough and it's a perfect launching point for newcomers to experience what may be the best turn-based strategy game on the market right now.
X Rebirth is a broken game right now. The UI is clunky, flying feels awkward at best, and you're often left to figure out how to play without any real sort of guidance. This could end up being a fine game once modders are able to essentially remake it, but there's no real reason to pick it up at the current moment.
Despite some problems with its length and conclusion, All That Remains is a dark, harrowing, and effective experience that is worthy of the Walking Dead name.
Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition makes some improvements to what is one of, if not the, best RPGs ever made. That said, it may not have done enough to warrant the extra cost when compared to simply buying the original.
If you have ten dollars to spend, you cannot go wrong with the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Freedom Cry DLC. Presenting four hours' worth of quality gameplay, it's well worth the investment, so long as you haven't become bored of the series' repetitive gameplay mechanics.
As a result of its occasionally frustrating gameplay, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is a game that sounds better than it truly is. However, those who are willing to look past its shortcomings will find a decent and somewhat charming experience underneath.
As a first attempt at bringing the incredibly popular first-person shooter franchise to mobile and downloadable platforms using twin-stick mechanics, Halo: Spartan Assault is a decent result. However, the game's lack of originality and recycled mission types eventually catch up with it.
When Don't Starve is not rage-inducing, it's an absolute charmer. Its wonderful, Tim Burton-esque art style lends tons of adorable quirkiness to the proceedings as does the pleasantly gothic soundtrack. It's not a game for everyone, but those who revel in micromanagement and hoarding tons of supplies to take on the dangerous wild with will eat this one up.
The PC version of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance offers more of the insane ninja swordplay that proved Metal Gear can thrive outside of Shadow Moses.
Broken Age: Act 1 may be overly traditional, but it possesses plenty of artistry and charm that players will love.
The graphical touchup could be better, and its handheld roots are still obvious, but Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD still contains a soling gaming experience for fans of the series.
Although it's more of the same, Dead Rising 3's Operation Broken Eagle expansion is a pretty fun way to spend a couple of hours.
With Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Square Enix has provided action gamers with an impressively upgraded version of one of the best games in existence.
Over-priced and unmemorable, this first piece of DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts should only be purchased by those who find themselves logging onto the game daily. Even then, you may want to hold off unless you're really itching for more content.
