The Banner Saga's combination of well-designed strategy gameplay with grand storytelling make for an exceptional title.

7 / 10.0 - Nidhogg
Jan 24, 2014

Nidhogg is a bit of a one trick pony in the gameplay department. It dresses up the idea of this running sword fight with a number of level modifiers, multiplayer modes, local tournaments matches and the single-player campaign; however, at the end of the day everything comes down to winning the virtual sword fights.

Jan 27, 2014

While you can break a sweat doing some of the mini games, many take too much time with explanations and are too short to leave you feeling worked out.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition really is the best looking version of the game, managing to surpass even the PC version.

Broken Age has delivered what it promised, quite wonderfully. This initial offering of the first half, and the promise of a conclusion to come at no extra cost, is enough to earn it attention for its beauty. The second half, and its subsequent review, will bear the weight of the example its opening gave, and will decide whether this game is worth the score I give it.

The tale of Bravely Default is lovable, if a bit cliché.

8 / 10.0 - Outlast
Feb 18, 2014

Outlast is flawed in many ways, but it's the most exemplary offering these days of how to engage, entrap, and entice players looking for something that scares them out of their wits.

This generation's Hiryu is built to take a pounding, and his foes are experts at giving them...

Feb 24, 2014

If you're looking for a solid stealth option—with a truly intimidating set of customizations for difficulty—then Thief is a solid buy during this current drought in the new console generation

PopCap has done a pretty decent job of lining up the armies overall.

This game made me feel like a 12 year old endlessly pushing back my bed time to play one more level again.

As a game itself, it's a perfectly acceptable bit of fluff and far better than most licensed tie-in titles. The big problem is simply one of legacy

It’s a simple, slow turn-based title that reminds us writers how much work other developers put into making something fun.

South Park: The Stick Of Truth is finally here and the result? Easily the funniest video game ever made.

This is as good as Resident Evil 4 has ever been and that will likely be more than enough for anyone interested in the re-release.

8 / 10.0 - Titanfall
Mar 17, 2014

I was expecting Titanfall to be the next EA game with major online problems, but all of the server issues I've experienced in Titanfall can be found in any multiplayer focused game.

I wasn't expecting much from the single player campaign, but Matt Makes Games has done a terrific job of retrofitting AI enemies that perfectly complement the game's fantasy art style and existing mechanics.

8 / 10.0 - Luftrausers
Mar 19, 2014

As per the developer's style, Luftrausers deftly tackles just a few elements and scoffs at the notion of complexity.

This is just a streamlined version of what fans have encountered in the past, and it's hard to say whether these features will continue in the upcoming Phantom Pain or not.

Sure, it’s nowhere near as good as the original or as strong as the company’s finest new platformers, but if you adore Yoshi’s Island and own a 3DS, it’ll sure scratch an itch you’ve had for years
