Override review
Instead, we have six levels that are just there. A couple have you flying over Earth-like surfaces, while others position you above bland mechanical structures that could be a Death Star-like tunnel, a futuristic military base, a satellite…

The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 - Faith review
He'll huff and he'll puff and he'll solve violent crimes and protect a secret society of fairy tale characters from each other.

Rayman Legends review
Rotund plumbers take note: this is how you do it! Rayman Legends is the new champ of simultaneous multiplayer platforming.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West review
Much of this game looks bad on paper and great in execution.

Skylanders Swap Force review
If you're okay buying more figurines, Skylanders Swap Force offers a meaty adventure with a hefty amount of content to justify every dollar spent. Just don't expect to get away with your wallet intact.

Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness review
If you’re a fan of the Disgaea series or of strategy RPGs in general, look no further than Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness. It’s the most refined and aesthetically pleasing Disgaea title to date.

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse review
So, how did this game insert the Age of Apocalypse into their actual continuity? Well, the first thing Apocalypse does here is take over Genosha, displacing Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil and causing them and the X-Men to engage in…

Grand Theft Auto V review
Grand Theft Auto V finally delivers the open world experience we've been promised for years now, but it tries a bit too hard to be offensive about it.

Disney Infinity review
Infinite possibilities on the drawing board suddenly feel quite limited once they've been torpedoed by disappointing execution.

DuckTales Remastered review
DuckTales Remastered is neither a complete failure nor the triumph it so easily could have been.

Sonic Mega Collection Plus review
I've not actually seen Ristar on this collection because of the painfully tedious process of unlocking games. From doing a good bit of reading, you apparently need a save for Sonic Heroes on your memory card to get a couple of the games…

Uchuu Keibitai SDF review
Take out the enemy's space armada and you'll then find yourself in a claustrophobic base. The level is only one screen wide and you'll be maneuvering through narrow, cramped corridors that (of course) have enemies lurking just out of…

Silent Hill HD Collection review
Maybe it's watching James descend down one deep hole after another…only to wind up outside on ground level with no indication that he'd been following a steadily declining path; or perhaps it's Heather having to frantically check doors in…

Dragon's Crown review
So, just what do you get as a reward for overlooking the boobs? The answer, it turns out, is an enjoyable romp through fantasy tropes that include nefarious wizards, mythical creatures on the rampage, heroic knights, and even damsels in…

Saints Row IV review
All they need to do now is throw in an orb-collecting mechanic, and– wait, they did do that? Oh. Well, I guess Saints Row IV is pretty brilliant, then.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion review
It never leaves entirely, though. I mean, I've spent a total of 375 or so hours in the world of Oblivion and its DLC, and I have no regrets. I was glad when it was over and I doubt I'll ever play it again, but I had a great time until the…

Bonk's Adventure review
There’s a level in which you bash a giant dinosaur on the head, then climb into its mouth and go spelunking inside its stomach. Bonk’s Adventure knows it’s a fairly straightforward game, so it goes out of its way to be adorable.
