Octodad has no shortage of wit, creativity, or laughs. As the story of an octopus masquerading as a human, Octodad starts off strong with a clear focus on the crazy premise, and gameplay that is simple enough to showcase the wacky physics and fun of knocking lamps around the room...
Nidhogg
At the end of each match the Nidhogg, a creature with roots in Norse mythology appears to devour the winner. It’s a strange way to celebrate victory, but it’s appropriate for Nidhogg’s atypical multiplayer structure and gameplay. At first glance, the game doesn’t look like it belongs in the fighting...
I’ve had a chance to review many games over the years that were varying shades of broken. I’ve encountered countless freezes, buggy updates, and mindless AI. As unforgivably awful as some of these games have been, at least I can say that I’ve always been able to accurately make menu...
Tiny Brains
You can play Tiny Brains alone, but this puzzle game is built for co-op. You combine the unique powers of four rodents in different ways to move through a lab. You can play by yourself, switching between the rodents, or with up to three other players.
Playing in a big sandbox is fun, and sandboxes don’t get much bigger than Mars. Super Motherload is all about digging ever deeper down into the ground, and regularly returning to the surface to refuel, sell items, and upgrade your abilities. The repetition of going up and down so many...
After a three-year absence including two aborted games, EA Sports is finally stepping back onto the hardcourt with NBA Live 14.

Perhaps that dedication...

Dead Rising 3
In a new generation of hardware with several multi-platform, cross-generation launch titles, many gamers are struggling to point out exactly how the new hardware unlocks new possibilities — Dead Rising 3 stands as a clear example. The winding city streets are packed sidewalk to sidewalk with more zombies than you...
With 30 years separating it from the lore of previous Killzone games and new hardware driving it, Shadow Fall is the perfect time to freshen up the series. The original trilogy is frequently discussed more in terms of technology than gameplay – however competent it may be. With this fourth...
One problem that goes along with the launch of a new console is that the biggest games are sometimes months or years away. Resogun attempts to deliver a small game that invites repeated playthroughs and inspires competition while you are waiting for the heavy hitters. Geometry Wars admirably served this...
Last year’s reboot of the XCOM series was a masterwork. Its deep strategy and intense firefights required careful scheming, but putting a bullet through the last invader’s overgrown skull was one of my favorite moments of 2012. The game was so finely balanced that I thought adding to it would...
Battlefield 4
As someone who originally enlisted in Battlefield 1942, tracking the series' trajectory has been interesting. What originally started as a multiplayer-only hardcore PC shooter has steadily evolved over the last decade to achieve mass success. Along the way, developer DICE has built on its solid foundation of team-focused air, land, and sea battles with impressive new...
