With everything that’s good about this title, there are a few issues that can be frustrating. Framerate drops during heavy sequences are a big setback when facing many enemies at once, impacting reaction time and ultimately a character’s survival. There are a some technical glitches here and there, which can...
The combat is the real diamond in the rough and makes the journey into Neo-Paris completely worthwhile. There are plenty of mistakes, but also a few triumphs. It's hard to recommend rushing out to get this one, as it feels more like a downloadable title due to its short playtime,...
This particular entry may not truly connect to the Call of Juarez mythology (save for a brief cut scene), but it more than lives up to the Wild West ideas that influenced the series. The game is a substantial offering with plenty of opportunities for replayability, but the fact...
The game is by no means perfect, but what Last Light gets right it does so with a need not to get by, but to be original. Few games offer fast-paced action and moody, atmospheric exploration, and even fewer can believably make those two work. Had it stuck the landing...
Combat still needs work, but is unique enough that players will still find some entertainment in the limb chomping and weapon customization/upgrading. But don't be surprised if, just like with the first Dead Island, Riptide starts to overstay its welcome after a few hours. In a lot of ways, it...
Despite these issues and a missing option to turn down the sometimes-overbearing music, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is an easy recommendation. It does not require Far Cry 3 to play but like its predecessor, it's crafted with a focus on fun. There's a key sequence in the game we won't spoil...
If there is one drawback to Terraria, it is just how little the game prepares players for what lies in store. The tutorial passes on the first tips for mining and crafting, but without any indication that the game is structured more predictably than the first hours might imply, plenty...
There are so many little touches strewn about that even the title's odes to gaming's past are enough to make it worth recommending. That being said, the game still carves its own path, making the Metroidvania genre more accessible than ever. Players that like a little comedy in their games,...
[NOTE: There are massive audio problems with the game for players using a home theater set-up. Sound effects fail to register, audio syncing is off, and occasionally the audio will drop out altogether. Sony is working on a patch that should be out some time next week, but it's worth...
For everyone else, the game should be skipped, outside of an eventual rental or bargain bin acquisition for friends looking for a two-player day of carnage. The Devil's Cartel represents another missed opportunity for the series to expand on gameplay and multiplayer features. While there's some fun dialogue and character moments,...
BioShock: Infinite is built from story and atmosphere first, which alone makes it a must-play experience for any self-respecting shooter fan. Providing an adventure that is as memorable as it is inspired, we're willing to accept combat that tries to offer an endlessly entertaining and visually stunning experience instead of...
While maintaining the fun action and polish players expect and providing more solid co-op experiences, Gears of War: Judgment feels rushed, and immediately dated. It's a package missing too many elements replaced by gimmicks, and instead of taking the franchise forward, takes steps back in nearly every way. There's fun...
