At its core, Enemy Within is a fantastic reminder of what an expansion pack is supposed to be. Calling something like this just a downloadable content package would seem like an injustice, as Enemy Within changes the core fundamentals of an already entertaining game and literally improves on all aspects...
Aside from the above complaints and some poor announcer audio, WWE 2K14 is a very worthy entry into the lore of WWE. Die-hard fans will be smiling all the way as they eat up the 30 Years of WrestleMania mode with two spoons, find some familiarity with the rest of...
As a continuation of BioShock Infinite, both mechanically and narratively, Burial at Sea: Episode 1 is a worth playing, even if it doesn't capitalize on its potential as much as fans might hope. The combat is still as enjoyable as ever, if a bit same-y, and the game's stunning detail...
So, while the game looks the best Call of Duty ever has, it also carries too many flaws to make it a must-have title for next-gen console owners, or casual Call of Duty fans for that matter. Die-hards will still log countless hours, but long-time detractors will finally have new...
With more maps that support more playstyles, more modes, and necessary bug fixes, Battlefield 4 - like its predecessor - will go from good to great. At the moment, it doesn't do as much for players as Battlefield 3 does with its current set of offerings but it's only going...
Rain
If Rain didn't exist in the same space as games like Braid, Limbo, or Bastion, perhaps some of the shortcomings could be forgiven. But the fact is that it’s no longer enough for a game to simply get by on its art direction alone. Compelling gameplay and plot, if that’s...
Despite those flaws, Europa Universalis IV provides such a deep, challenging and unpredictable experience that it will leave hardcore strategy fans sailing back for more. This isn't a game for the feint of heart - the game stretches through almost 400 years of history, but at times it feels like...
As a whole, though, Beyond: Two Souls is without question one of the most ambitious undertakings of this generation — an interactive experience with a massive scope, tremendous mo-cap performances, and a story that, while a little convoluted in places, competently encompasses several decades of a girl's very complex life....
That being said, the gameplay in FIFA 14 is much more refined when compared to FIFA 13, so those who do pick up the game will find a more enjoyable experience overall. Not to mention the realism that the collisions and shooting add to the proceedings make the game look...
The game borrows more than a few ideas from Skylanders, but it executes on those ideas in some pretty smart ways, leveraging Disney's properties to their utmost potential. There may be better singular Disney games out there, but as a blend of multiple properties, this is the quintessential Disney experience.
What KickBeat does to evolve the rhythm genre is smart, it's just sorely lacking in execution. The idea of a rhythm game that uses hand-to-hand combat as a gameplay template makes KickBeat stand out, but when it comes time to actually play the game, the experience wavers between decent fun...
However, as a whole, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a haunting yet gratifying ride, rewarding players who are willing to read every note and explore the horrendous truths of 'The Machine'. The location is really a compelling dive into the recesses of nineteenth century Britain, 'The Machine' just falling...
