86 / 100 - WWE 2K16
Nov 3, 2015

The Bottom Line is that WWE 2K16 gives the fans what they wanted – the full suite of Creation modes, a more robust My Career mode, and the biggest roster ever. This is now a huge, deep game that will satisfy the most-demanding WWE fans, and it makes WWE 2K15 look like a Demo.

69 / 100 - Need for Speed
Nov 3, 2015

Need for Speed is not a horrible game, but it is definitely not the amazing 'reboot' experience I was looking for.

Much like its Zelda roots, Death will traverse across vast open overworld areas that can be explored by foot or on his trusty horse Despair."

Slow loading areas, frame rates dropping and gameplay becoming sluggish when you summon a batch of minions added to the lackluster experience.

40 / 100 - Pulse
Nov 1, 2015

Sadly, Pulse is a linear experience, with a critical route that must be followed. Curiosity sapped.

Life is Strange is, without a doubt, one of the most unique episodic choice-based games to date.

Minecraft: Story Mode has a lot of positives that make it worth playing – it is gorgeous to look at, and will be a cool experience for any Minecraft fan in particular, as it pays loving homage to its source-material.

There is an absolute ton of payoff in this final episode, as there should be, and Telltale does an amazing job of wrapping up the season with laughs, tears, and some epic loot for these would-be vault hunters.

35 / 100 - Animal Gods
Oct 29, 2015

Basically, this game has its heart in the right place, but could not realize its potential. Still Games seemed to be more concerned about telling a story and incorporated gameplay as an afterthought, but ended up failing to deliver at both. It's a tedious game that this title may have been served best as a cheaper iOS game for those boring bus rides to and from work.

Zen Studios brings the fun and excitement of a pinball game and your favorite show to your own home. Addictive, witty, colorful and easy to play but hard to master, this pinball pack is a winner.

60 / 100 - Ride
Oct 27, 2015

With over 100 bikes included in the game ranging from classic to pro-circuit bikes RIDE does an excellent job delivering an authentic motorbike experience.

Bedlam will help you remember why classics are classics; but not because Bedlam lives up to them.

As one who has played all the Halo games since the original Halo: Combat Evolved, and recently finished the single player campaign for Halo 5, I can say that I am pretty satisfied with what takes place.

Fantastic setting makes up for lackluster gameplay.

The design choices become abundantly clear when you encounter your first enemy ship and begin the gripping celestial ballet that is a broadside battle.

Nintendo has once again managed to take a series that we all know and love, tell us that they're going to do something unthinkable to its formula, and somehow have us walk away not hating it.

In the end, Wasteland 2 is good, it's fun, and there is a ton of content. But it's not that different, or newly 'cut', than it was a year ago.

65 / 100 - Eternal Step
Oct 21, 2015

Despite its flaws, Eternal Step isn't a terrible little indie game if you're a fan of the roguelike genre. It has enough gameplay depth to keep things fresh, at least for a while. I recommend checking it out for yourself, and look forward to seeing what future updates bring.

Guitar Hero Live stands as a gigantic leap forward in terms of immersion and realism, giving us a glimpse of some amazing things ahead for the franchise.

Dragon Quest Heroes does an exceptional job in displaying how the beat 'em up Warriors/Musou formula works with the beloved Dragon Quest RPG series. It blends in strategic and RPG elements flawlessly making the game unique and full of nostalgia. The visuals are gorgeous and should easily please fans of the Dragon Quest franchise and newcomers alike.
