Mar 2, 2016

Dull encounters mean a great Job system never gets a chance to shine.

7.5 / 10.0 - Street Fighter V
Mar 1, 2016

An excellent fighting game, wrapped in an incomplete package.

There is no better way to wrap up the last few chapters of Naruto.

8 / 10.0 - Far Cry Primal
Feb 29, 2016

Prehistoric beast petting simulator, with extras.

8.5 / 10.0 - Project X Zone 2
Feb 25, 2016

My minor gripe about cutscenes aside, PXZ 2 is a game that combines disparate characters and game licenses tremendously well. From the opening moments it balances being both ridiculous and entertaining with a story that packs in more time travelling than perhaps any story in history. Gameplay is excellent, mashing together tactical RPGs with a combo system that I couldn't get enough of. While I missed the original Project X Zone, this sequel has more than grabbed my attention. I certainly won't be missing a potential third instalment.

8 / 10.0 - Rocket League
Feb 24, 2016

Everyone should try this game, even if you hate cars or football.

Feb 24, 2016

A fun, mature entry in the Digimon series, let down by the verbose story and lack of challenge.

Perfectly bridges the gap between casual games and hardcore shooters.

New cast, new story, new creative team - just what The Walking Dead needs.

Feb 22, 2016

Driving and customising the buggy is a lot of fun, but not at the expense of tight parkour.

Damn near everything I could have hoped for out of a Pillars of Eternity expansion

Same great dungeon crawler, now with more plot.

Feb 16, 2016

A wonderful, but short, plot that will have you believing you own real life detective skills.

Feb 15, 2016

Give it 20 minutes and I guarantee you won't put it down for the next 4 hours

Feb 11, 2016

An interactive discussion of the darkled human spirit.

9.5 / 10.0 - Unravel
Feb 8, 2016

Unravel is something special, that everyone should experience.

Feb 8, 2016

Get ready for fast paced, gravity defying action! And a cat.

9.9 / 10.0 - The Witness
Feb 5, 2016

Not so much filled with "a-ha!" moments. They're more like epiphanies.

9 / 10.0 - Oxenfree
Feb 5, 2016

A fresh, compelling take on the "cabin in the woods"-style teen horror.

6 / 10.0 - Hardware: Rivals
Feb 3, 2016

I'm old enough that I can say I've been playing games like this since they first started coming out. So after a few days of playing I give it a passing grade but not by much. I mean, it's always fun to drive around and blow up things, that's why these games keep being made. So while Hardware Rivals is fun for a while it still has a lot of annoyances to overcome.
