IGN's Reviews
Super Mario 3D World is marvelous and its fantastic co-op and variety will keep you entertained for hours.
Though the roster limits the possibilities a bit, Killer Instinct makes a triumphant return with smart, fluid fighting.
Crimson Dragon is a competent arcade shooter, but its heavy grinding and weak presentation drag down the pace.
With zombies, more is better. Dead Rising 3 delivers the undead and great tools to kill them with by the truckload.
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.
