IGN's Reviews
Powerstar Golf has last-gen looks but incorporates forward-thinking features, and is a fun way to hit the links.
LocoCycle earns its name with a metric ton of crazy, but its inconsistent, monotonous gameplay ultimately derails it.
Next-gen graphics only go so far – changes to Madden 25's play make control tougher, though it's still good football.
What could have been an easy sequel that traded on past glories is instead a compelling argument for digging up the foundations of Zelda and seeing what happens - rather like Wind Waker did 10 years ago. A Link Between Words is not a total revolution, but it may very well be the start of one. I haven’t been so challenged by a Zelda since Ocarina of Time, and rarely have I been so consistently surprised by one.
Knack's shifting size is a great idea that never really grows into anything substantial.
Killzone: Shadow Fall is a worthy game to purchase alongside your PlayStation 4.
Contrast is a game full of heart, beauty, and at least a few excellent puzzles.
Flower on PS4 is even better and more beautiful than the phenomenal, unforgettable original.
Resogun is a smart, speedy game that reinvigorates the shoot 'em up genre.
Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy brings a great series to a close in fine style. It doesn't take many risks with the established formula, but its story is engaging, intelligently written and compelling to the end.
NBA 2K14 on PS4 & Xbox One is not only a great basketball game, it's a showcase for your new console.
Part 1 of BioShock Infinite's story-centric DLC returns to Rapture but doesn't give you long to enjoy it.
New abilities, tough enemies and more maps make XCOM: Enemy Within a superb expansion, but the ending needs an upgrade.
Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games has some good ideas but it's weighed down by bad motion controls.
Call of Duty: Ghosts' robust multiplayer suite and refreshingly varied campaign make it one of the best in the series.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is a gorgeous, fantastic sequel that gives you the freedom to make your own fun.
Great horror stories are many things, but tedious isn't on the list, and that's exactly the feeling that's born of Knock-Knock's inability to explain itself. A game that doesn't tell us how to play and has no consistent rules is a frustrating experience, no matter how eerily beautiful it is. Knock-Knock's confusing mechanics give little reason to answer the door.
Game Freak has really outdone itself this time, and Pokemon X and Y will be remembered as great transition point for the series’ transformation into an even more social, beautiful, and strategic game. Building on five generations of games, a digital menagerie of captivating creatures, and a wide range of diverse regions to explore, Pokemon X and Y proves this formulaic portable role-playing series can still deliver an innovative experience.
Lone Survivor's indie survival horror tale finds its most powerful expression on Sony's handheld.
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has launched with a great class system and amazing promise
