Xenoblade Chronicles X is as massive and challenging as it is wonderful and addicting. This JRPG is a slam dunk for the genre.

Star Wars Battlefront is beautiful and true to its namesake. It's fun, but it's shallow, and we're not sure it warrants a $60 price tag.

Fallout 4 offers a whole lot of game for $60. It's a fantastic adventure into the wasteland, and it's packed with diverse content.

Can Rise of the Tomb Raider reach the standards set by its impressive predecessor?

The whole thing looks like Dragon Quest, but it's not. Just like how Hyrule Warriors looked like The Legend of Zelda, but it's not. It might be the best of its kind, but in the end, it's still just another Musou spin-off. Hype that lead to believe otherwise fell deaf onto my soul.

Yo-kai Watch delivers a fun, easy to play, tough to master RPG that I found just as exciting as it is relaxing. I want more of this series.

If you're picking up Halo 5: Guardians for the campaign, you're in for a treat with rough edges.

After the blight that was Unity, Ubisoft elected to scale back with Assassin's Creed Syndicate. The result is a game that's both fun and stable.

As for established fans, it is a solid game. If you are willing to adjust your gaming posture and stretch your back a bit, you'll find a nice package here. The new ideas can be a bit gimmicky, but they all work together nicely. It's the controls, both the motion and dual-analog, that are what hold it back from a full recommendation.

I wanted to like Persona 4: Dancing All Night a lot more than I do because this might be the last we see of these eternally memorable characters for a while. I really wanted to enjoy the time I spent with them like I did in Persona Q, where they were mere caricatures of their personalities, or the Persona 4 Arena games, which kept the cutscenes to a slightly more tolerable level, but the script and its length are just too impenetrable for anyone looking to actually enjoy the gameplay.

Yoshi's Woolly World is a fun adventure for Nintendo fans, but it's a bit too inconsistent to be a must-have.

Rock Band 4 is a mix of some new and a lot of old. That's not a bad thing.

Uncharted's compilation transcends simple remasters with attention to artistic and technical detail.

It's an interesting experience that shows at the same time how Frictional is trying to break out of their mold but simultaneously held back by it, and I hope they can stretch out even further the next time around.

NHL 16 is such a better effort than it was last year. The improvement upon gameplay and better attention paid to arena feel make it a great year to play.

Mad Max is a fine open world game with a seemingly large budget; however, it never really stands up tall enough among all the other much better stuff out there

The new game of throw and catch alongside modes like Draft Champions makes Madden NFL 16 a great entry in the football franchise.

If you didn't get the idea, I love this game. It is a marvelous addition to the open-world genre and another one I can add onto the short list that I love. I think I need to use my left hand now if we are counting. It's also a great addition to the Metal Gear Solid franchise, portraying it in ways I didn't believe possible until now.

If you like fast cars — any kind of fast cars — then Forza Motorsport 6 is where you need to be.

Super Mario Maker is a friendly course creator with a wonderful potential for fun, and it's one of the best games on the Wii U.
