Peggle 2
At face value, we'd have never thought that Peggle would unapologetically consume hours of our life and never give them back. But lo, it did upon its release back in 2007, and still does today, as we dip into it on occasion to satisfy our Peggle cravings. And now it's...
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is one of those games that simultaneously launched for current and next-gen consoles, along with the likes of LEGO Marvel and CoD: Ghosts. And like those games, Black Flag for Xbox One is the exact same game, but with marginally prettier visuals. That means all...
Bearing the weight of Xbox One's launch day racing hopes entirely on its own, Forza Motorsport 5 is a more than worthy addition to the storied racing franchise's history, and a strong first crack at next-gen. However, it's a game that's so in love with its own style that it...
LocoCycle
LocoCycle is funny. It's humorous in the most off-the-wall way imaginable, with tongue-in-cheek live-action cut-scenes that succeed in raising chuckles, and a core conceit that's utterly ludicrous. Twisted Pixel's latest is knowingly silly though, and deliriously enjoyable as a result. It's Road Rash on acid, but is also so much...
Killer Instinct is by and large a more than satisfying return for a fighting series that's been left on the shelf for far too long. As a modern fighting game, it manages to hold its own against more seasoned stablemates, thanks to its accessibility and hidden depths. Killer Instinct is...
Call of Duty: Ghosts
Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, you can always rely on a new Call of Duty game each and every year. Naturally this year is no different. It's Call of Duty time once again, and this year Infinity Ward has brought a dog...
Batman: Arkham Origins
Like so many superheroes, Batman as a real life crime fighter would be ludicrous. In comic books, movies and games, Batman works when the darkness is turned all the way up to 11 and the drama is dialled right up. And it's amid this inky blackness and relentless peril that...
F1 2013
Where can you possibly go when your game has reached a level where there's little room for improvement? F1 2012 arguably reached that point, with a simulation of the sport that was pretty much right on the money. F1 2013 is something more iterative as a result, building upon the...
Grand Theft Auto V
Cast your mind back all the way to 1997. Grand Theft Auto was some weird little game that whipped up a storm of controversy because you could run people over and gun them down. It looked pretty crude, with its top-down 2D graphics, and almost didn't see the light of...
NHL 14
As sports franchises go, EA Sports' NHL is one that's consistently been delivering strong games for the last few years, keeping its take on ice hockey fresh with each new iteration, where it could otherwise be in danger of turning stale and hard, like a puck. Each and every year,...
Lost Planet 3
Having dabbled in the desert for Lost Planet 2, Capcom has embraced the cold once more for Lost Planet 3, the first game in the series to be outsourced to a western developer. In this case, it's Spark Unlimited, the studio behind Turning Point: Fall of Liberty and Legendary. So...
We miss Michael Ironside. We all miss Michael Ironside. His gruff tones came to define the character of Sam Fisher over the years across five Splinter Cell games, but now he's gone. And after about an hour of playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist, you'll probably have forgotten all about the whole...
