PCMag's Reviews
The Crew is an overenthusiastic attempt at marrying racing gameplay and multiplayer to a massive open-world driving map. Unfortunately, repetitive missions, cheap AI, and poor balancing hold the game back from greatness despite its impressive and detailed world.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate can be the biggest and most strangely satisfying time sink you'll find for your 3DS, if you can get past its quirks.
Bloodborne changes up the "Souls" formula radically with faster and more aggressive combat. The Lovecraftian horror and Victorian setting only add to the charm. One of the best PS4 releases to date.
Code Name S.T.E.A.M. is a fun, cartoony steampunk strategy game for players intimidated by the depth of Fire Emblem.
The Order: 1886 shows just how good games can look on the PlayStation 4, but it's not an example of how fun or satisfying they can be.
WWE 2K15's dull, outdated game mechanics and rushed, cash-grab feel is a mean-spirited rib. Like its real-life counterpart, the WWE video game series needs new blood.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is just as dark, fascinating, and satisfying a game on the 3DS as it was on the Nintendo 64.
Elite: Dangerous is a fascinating exploration of space that will endlessly appeal to some players and thoroughly bore others.
Though comparable to time wasters on smartphones with its emphasis on quick bursts of play, Ultimate NES Remix is a good way to travel down memory lane and maybe even discover some 8-bit classics you never experienced.
Iron From Ice, the first chapter in Telltale Games's Game of Thrones series, lays down a great foundation. The presentation suffers from weak visuals, but the story scenarios, intense rhetorical dueling, and dynamic protagonist perspectives recreate a world rich with intrigue and drama.
Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is a superb minimalist shooter that will have you saying "just one more game" every time.
Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham delivers exactly what you would expect from a Lego game: simple combat, light-hearted storytelling, and lots of smashing and collecting. Some rough edges sully the overall enjoyment, however.
Resident Evil HD Remaster often disappoints when it comes to the HD part, but the rest of the game is so damn good, newcomers and old-timers alike should check it out.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a perfect port of the console version. Don't expect a full-blown campaign, however. This is merely the exciting prologue to the upcoming main event.
Far Cry 4 trades tropical islands for mountains, but otherwise, it offers pretty much the same great shooter experience as its predecessor.
Featuring the unlikely adventurers Toad and Toadette, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker takes the Captain Toad concept from Super Mario 3D World and runs with it, resulting in a gorgeous and utterly charming puzzle-platformer.
Sunset Overdrive wears its inspirations on its sleeve, but sports enough solid action and good humor to be worth a play.
Ubisoft makes some good changes to its Assassin's Creed formula with Unity, but the game is doomed to mediocrity due to its lack of polish and originality.
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire for the Nintendo 3DS update the classic Gen III Ruby/Sapphire games with 3D graphics and polished mechanics worthy of a modern Pokemon title.
Though low gravity makes combat more interesting, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel's missions and story feel like straight-up filler. This Pre-Sequel is strictly for devoted Vault Hunters.
