Pocket Card Jockey combines solitaire, turn-based tactics, and JRPG-like experience and skills into an incredibly fun, accessible diversion on the 3DS.
Final Fantasy X/X-2 is an amazing port of classic PlayStation 2 titles, complete with graphical enhancements and newly added features. It's truly the best way to experience the games.
Boasting thrilling game play and some decidedly non-MOBA elements, Smite is the MOBA for those who don't like MOBA. The developers need to address the recent server issues, though.
Epic Games' cult classic comes to PC in this thrilling remaster. A fresh take on the Metroidvania genre, Shadow Complex combines shoot-'em-up elements and brisk melee action to deliver an enjoyable platform-adventure title.
Doom is back and true to the original. If you want to play the best FPS in years, you owe it to yourself to go to Hell (on Mars).
Blizzard's new online, team-based game has a few MOBA-like aspects to mix things up, but it's a rock-solid first-person shooter through and through.
A visual tour de force, Uncharted 4 rarely drops its cinematic facade and reminds you that it's a video game. The visuals and presentation elevate the fairly ho-hum gameplay.
Street Fighter V deftly blends new and classic characters and gameplay. Despite extremely polished combat, however, Capcom's newest fighting game is a bare-bones effort that's plagued with server issues. Pass on this game until Capcom fixes it.
In the free Crown and Council, you're a would-be despot who attempts to take over the world. There's a surprising amount of strategy squeezed into this fun and simple game, but it would benefit greatly from more features and polish.
Star Fox Zero is a fun trip back to the days of the Super FX chip on the SNES, but for a modern sci-fi shooter on the Wii U it feels a bit threadbare.
From Software invigorates the Souls series with faster combat, deeper customization, expanded lore, and gorgeous visuals. Performance issues aside, Dark Souls III is a fantastic addition to the series.
Electronic Arts' newest PC racing game is gorgeous, and offers lots of customization options, but it's super-buggy and features some of the most annoying characters in video game history.

Garden Warfare 2 fleshes out the team-based shooting antics of the original with new characters, fresh game modes, and a richer single-player experience.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD has many valleys, like locked-away DLC and way too many dull moments, but its peaks, including great characters and clever dungeons, are worth exploring.
If you like Pokémon and fighting games, or just want to play Pokémon in a new way, you'll enjoy Pokkén Tournament on the Nintendo Wii U.
Deathsmiles brings gothic shooting action to the PC courtesy of developer Cave, and save for a few niggles, it's an all-around excellent 2D shooter.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Windows 10 takes a great title and makes it even better. Despite a few small oversights, the updated mechanics and visuals produce the best way to experience the original Gears game—if you have an Nvidia video card.
Superhot is a PC-based first-person shooter that offers some of the most unusual, hypnotic gameplay ever seen in the genre.
