PCMag's Reviews
Watch Dog's gritty story and dystopian near-future are paper-thin, but the amount of stupid fun you can have running around Chicago and "hacking" things more than makes up for it.
Mario Kart 8 for the Nintendo Wii U is the best-looking Mario Kart to date (and the first with HD graphics), thanks to some fantastic new and remixed tracks.
Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut, the Xbox One's first self-published indie title, expands upon the original PC game's very solid mech-shooter base, but a repetitive mission structure and some slowdowns dull the action a bit.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is a study in contrasts with wildly fun combat levels separated by monotonous stealth levels.
Reaper of Souls, the expansion to Diablo III, adds a new class, a new chapter, and several very welcome changes to the original game's formula.
Yoshi's New Island is a solid platformer that sadly lacks the child-like crayon drawing graphics that made the first game work so well.
Titanfall, the Xbox One's first big tent-pole release, thrills with fast-paced mech-shooting action that appeals to FPS noobs and vets alike.
South Park: The Stick of Truth is a filthy, disgusting, offensive mess. A really good filthy, disgusting,offensive mess.
The remake/reimagining of the arcade classic Strider adds Metroid-like exploration to already excellent ninja action.
Garden Warfare is a remarkably refreshing shooter that retains the Plants vs. Zombies charm while upping the action.
Killer Instinct returns as an Xbox One exclusive after a long hiatus. It's one of the most thrilling and enjoyable games at the start of this new console generation, despite feeling skimpy in some areas.
Bravely Default is the best new Final Fantasy game I've played in years, and it isn't even a Final Fantasy game.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance forged a bold, new direction for the acclaimed stealth-action franchise when it was released on home video game consoles, and now it's made even better with the move to PC.
After breezing through campaign mode and wondering why you bought this game, you'll come to realize that a great online multiplayer experience is the only way to enjoy Battlefield 4. Massive battles on land, sea, and air will keep you coming back for more combat-based thrills.
Wii Fit U adds a pedometer, lots of activities, and a handful of other useful features that add up to making the sequel to Wii Fit worthwhile as a fitness tool.
The best b-ball simulation is even better on the Xbox One.
Bursting with imagination and immensely satisfying to play, Super Mario 3D World feels like the culmination of everything the series has done so far.
Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition takes everything we liked about vanilla Injustice and adds more character, outfits, and slightly better visual fidelity. If you plan on getting a PS4 and like fighting games, this Ultimate Edition is a very solid pick up.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Super NES was arguably the greatest Zelda game ever. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds on the Nintendo 3DS beats it.
The Skylanders Swap Force Starter Pack is the perfect jumping-off point for the super-popular game and collectible toy craze.
