PCMag's Reviews
Xenoblade Chronicles X is the biggest and best-looking exclusive to come to the Nintendo Wii U yet.
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round gives Steam users a new and complex fighting game to add to their libraries, but the abysmal online play limits the fun and lasting appeal.
Star Wars: Battlefront is a decent shooter that injects a handful of gimmicks to keep the gameplay interesting. However a lack of variety in the maps, game modes, guns, and character development prevents the game from reaching its potential.
Guitar Hero Live adds some new ideas to the plastic instrument-driven music game genre, but it makes too many mistakes to overlook.
Rock Band 4 is the same fun game driven by plastic instruments as you remember, just for current game consoles.
Patched into playable form, the formerly broken Ultra Street Fighter IV is now one of the PC's premier fighting games.
For better or worse, Call of Duty: Black Ops III is exactly the straightforward big-budget shooter you expect, offering entertaining gunplay, a ridiculous (but fun) campaign, and deep online multiplayer with a bevy of game modes.
StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void is both a fantastic conclusion to Blizzard's five-year saga and a great entry point into one of the most complex, but satisfying, strategy games ever. It's a towering achievement.
Yo-Kai Watch isn't quite the next Pokemon, but this friendly, light-hearted RPG is still a fun game to pop into your Nintendo 3DS.
A terrific online experience saves Halo 5 from a mediocre campaign, missing features, and a disappointing lack of split screen multiplayer.
Fallout 4 doesn't change the post-apocalyptic first-person RPG formula much, but it's a worthy sequel into which you can sink tons of time.
Rise of the Tomb Raider proves its predecessor was no fluke and firmly reestablishes the franchise as one worth caring about.
Game studio Cave brings its addictive, hardcore shooter classic to PC with a wealth of features, options, and gameplay modes.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is a fine Xbox One remastering of a classic, important, Xbox 360 game, but it could have been so much more.
Transformers: Devastation plays it safe when compared with other Platinum Games titles. It borrows and streamlines gameplay mechanics from other games, but makes the experience satisfying nonetheless.
If you've ever fantasized about managing the day-to-day operations of a Major League Baseball team, Out Of The Park Baseball 2016 lets you scratch that itch in a significant way, despite cumbersome menus.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's deep, open-world stealth and troop management, fun music, and excellent combat add up to an absorbing, stunning experience, despite some significant flaws.
Forza 6 comes close to the finish line, but long load times, sluggish racing, and frustrating design decisions betray its gorgeous 1080p/60fps visuals.
Armello oozes charm, and its myriad gameplay systems keep you busy for hours, but it relies too much on luck to keep things interesting.
Volume has an intriguing story and fun stealth techniques, but the game's repetitive mission structure and easy-to-evade enemies keep it from being one of the genre's standout titles.
