Tropico 5 will inevitably keep you going and the dynamic nature of it's gameplay will keep you on your toes. Along with gorgeous graphics and a quirky charm Tropico 5 is a must have for RTS fans.
Mario Golf: World Tour isn't set up as well as it could be, and fails to live up to the rest of the series. It is still very well executed where in matters, and it's consistently fun to hit the links of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Bound by Flame is a game that many will undoubtedly gain a huge amount of enjoyment from. Shortcomings of bad character interactions and weak contributions from NPCs are something that's easy to look past on.
MLB 14 The Show may not be a game changer, but it doesn't need to be. It is a great game with enough new features and ideas that it manages to stay fresh despite its problems, and fans of baseball sims will be hard-pressed to find better.
Child of Light is everything you ever ask for in an RPG platformer and oh so much more. Whether it appeals to you or not, you owe it to yourself to visit Lemuria.
A Realm Reborn is an excellent game and one of the best MMOs on the market, regardless of what platform you're playing it on. PC gamers who already own the game probably don't have a huge incentive to pick this version up, but this is far and away the best version available if you don't have access to a high end PC. If you already own the PS3 version, there's no reason not to upgrade to this version. You'll be glad you did.
Another map pack from Infinity Ward breathes fresh life into Ghosts.
Atmospheric but all too familiar in far too many places, Daylight is a middling time-killer with few frights.
Cel Damage has a great core concept that would be great to see explored further, but that glorious promise just makes it more of a shame that Finish Line Games for whatever reason couldn't take it to that next step. As it is, Cel Damage is a hard sell to those without a strong core group of people to play locally.
Strike Suit Zero has a lot of things going for it – a cool story, good combat, pretty visuals, and an excellent soundtrack – but it's let down by poor mission design and a frustrating checkpoint system. Those looking for a space combat game will find a lot to like here, but one can't help but wonder how much better the game would have been with more of a focus on tightly paced, frantic battles, and less on the Suit's ability to transform.
The mega popular racer is back and it's just as tricky, frustrating and fun as ever.
Tolkien's The Hobbit gets a LEGO makeover. Don't expect innovation but if you've loved the previous games, this is a winner.
4X strategy game players will be well served with Age of Wonders 3, a welcome return for one of the hallmarks of the genre.
With an incredible amount of content, and a number of gameplay refinements, Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition is the best Dynasty Warriors games in years. It won't convince the haters, but it will have fans saying, "Among men, Lu Bu. Among Dynasty Warriors, Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition."
Dust off Kinect, do some stretches and get ready to compete. Kinect Sports Rivals makes you pleased to own the motion controller.
Goat Simulator is rough around the edges and doesn't offer a lot of content, but if you're into destruction, humor, and the sheer ridiculousness of it, it's not a baaaaad deal at all. If you're only going to buy one goat simulator this year, make it this one.
I am sure Blizzard will find ways to improve the new systems even more in future patches, but as it stands now they're small issues that hurt the experience just a small bit. In reality, there is nothing to fear, this is a great addition to the game and we are looking forward to seeing how Blizzard will move on with the universe in Diablo III. As for now, I don't know why you're still reading this, go get the expansion and begin your epic loot hunts in Adventure Modes.
Life really is better with a Titan, and Titanfall demonstrates how much better the multiplayer genre can be with its fresh, compelling gameplay.
Heroes of Warcraft is an amazing game that knows how to make use of a free-to-play business model. While the absence of a tournament mode is a let down it's not enough to destroy its re-playability.
Despite its lack of modes, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is a well-designed shooter that puts a fresh spin on the zombie game and will be fun for all ages.
