Star Wars Zero Company
EA’s latest Star Wars game is more than just an XCOM clone, but it's a bit rough around the edges
Halo: Campaign Evolved
A technically impressive and mostly fine remake of a great game that I’m struggling to recommend
The next big Lego game from TT Games is for all you Arkham City fans out there
Marathon
Bungie's new shooter can be a painful experience, but the victories will stick with me forever
Monster Hunter Stories
The third entry in Capcom's spinoff series is a deep, uniquely Monster Hunter-flavored RPG that's anything but twisted

Lost in Random
I play a lot of games for this job. That’s not a brag, it’s just a fact. And while many of those games are good, most of them tend to blend together. But whenever something comes along that is not only great but also feels fresh and incredibly memorable, it...
The Medium
The Medium is stuck between two types of video games. It seems like a throwback to classic, claustrophobic horror titles such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil, but it also feels like a more modern non-combat, narrative-focused scary game. The end result is a game that feels middle of the...
