That said, Hard West is overall a strong addition to any turn-based strategy fan's library of games, particularly those looking to keep them occupied until more news surfaces on the upcoming X-COM sequel. Hard West may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a visually imposing title that brings tactical combat...
Star Wars Battlefront may not offer unlimited entertainment for years to come or the best environment for fiercely competitive gamers, but there's no denying that it does a brilliant job of giving Star Wars fans a chance to walk around and live in the iconic universe. A game like Star...
Poncho
In the end, this helps make Poncho a rewarding platform puzzle experience. When the player has truly got to grips with the ‘easy to learn, difficult to master’ parallax layer mechanics, together with additional skills Poncho acquires, the player will find themselves with a pretty, interesting, and fun platformer. Although...
Fortunately, Crystal Dynamics has put together one of the most riveting action/adventure titles of this generation. Even then, Rise of the Tomb Raider is a game that people will play, love, and be done with, and that's okay. It's said to take dedicated completionists over 30 hours of playing to gather all...

This seems...
Dragon Quest Heroes demonstrates that the Dynasty Warriors combat system can work in other universes and even manages to make some exciting improvements to the usual formula. The game's story is likely to leave new players a little bored, but longtime fans of the franchise will have plenty of run-ins with...
That's the genius of Guitar Hero Live. Rather than compete with Rock Band 4, it offers something completely different, and as such the two titles have quite different audiences. Live uses a more modern platform to deliver its content, and whether or not that's a good thing will come down...
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a genuine disappointment, and easily the weakest entry in the series to date. With big holiday season games like Star Fox Zero delayed to next year, the Wii U could ill afford a flop, but that seems likely for Fatal Frame. Featuring a plot filled...

Higher difficulty levels can get punishing, and the focus on core gameplay mechanics might put off some players. It's a rewarding experience for anyone who can get into the groove, but the combat and...
However, any who expected Rock Band to change its identity in the leap from one generation to the next are likely to come away disappointed. For better or worse, this is the Rock Band we all know, and many love, with some small changes to gameplay here and there. Truthfully,...
