Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider is a fluid, fun, and very atmospheric action adventure game

Tomb Raider is an action-adventure game very similar to Uncharted, but less scripted, more gritty and atmospheric, and more focused on exploration. Lara Croft is the best female lead I’ve played in a game. She isn&... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed III

The perfect example of how to NOT make a sequel

First, AC3 feels least like Assassin’s Creed game. From the overly specific full synchronization mission objectives to the walk-between-cutscenes missions, the player is stripped of the sandbox style of play. The ... Read Full Review

Knytt Underground

When the initial visual wow factor clears, we're left with a below average platformer

An atmospheric platformer based on exploration is an idea that seems like something I'd really enjoy, but I did not like it. The game was fun for about an hour but after the initial wow factor for the visuals wore off, t... Read Full Review

Crysis 3

I couldn't help but feel reminiscent of Halo: Combat Evolved while playing Crysis 3

Crysis series single player is what the Halo series should have turned into. In fact, playing Crysis for the first time was a lot like what playing Combat Evolved was like for the first time: original story, awesome ope... Read Full Review

DmC: Devil May Cry

Great story, great set pieces, great combat, but terribly short

I played DmC for free on PS+ and this was also my first DmC. I have played hack-n-slash games like God of War and never particularly liked them. However, I did like DmC and its combat mechanics. There are A LOT of weapo... Read Full Review

Rayman Origins

Stunning visuals, level design, and sound; however, it becomes boring and marred by outrageous difficulty

At first this game seems like a godsend. It's visually beautiful with nice themed levels and fluid framerate. The audio is about as memorable as it'll ever be for a platformer. I found the controls to be too floaty for ... Read Full Review

Binary Domain

Here is the most underrated game of this generation

Binary Domain certainly has its faults (the dreadful cover art is definitely one of them), but it feels more original than many games I've played. I'm honestly not a huge Third Person Shooter fan, but I thoroughly enjoy... Read Full Review

Dead Space 2

A solid sequel that outdoes the original

Dead Space 2 gives you a Bioshock feel especially early on. Whereas the Ishimura just gave the feeling of a functional ship, the environments in 2 feel like the sum of their parts. The sense of loss and the confusion of ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: Ghosts

A very large step backward.

Infinity Ward is no doubt resting on past successes. COD4 completely changed online multiplayer and Infinity Ward's COD games (Modern Warfare series and now Ghosts) has been almost unchanged while Treyarch has taken the ... Read Full Review

Need for Speed: Most Wanted

'Burnout: Most Wanted' would have been a more appropriate title

The first Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005) is still my most favorite racing game of all time. The police chases were fast, frenetic, and fun and had a pretty decent story that was the first interesting one in a racing... Read Full Review

Dead Space

An immersive horror/action/adventure/3rd Person Shooter hybrid game

Is Dead Space a horror game with action, adventure, and 3rd Person Shooter elements or is it mainly a 3rd Person Shooter with the aforementioned elements? This identity crisis actually gives this game an extra edge jus... Read Full Review

The Sly Collection

An underrated and under-appreciated franchise marred by bugs and glitches

During the PS2 era, I had played heavyweights like Jak and Ratchet & Clank whereas I had never heard much about Sly Cooper. I don’t know why because Sly Cooper is just as good if not better than those. This gam... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Short and terrible Campaign, and the multiplayer is more of the same

MW3 is easily the worst Call of Duty to date. The campaign is short (and story is absolutely terrible), multiplayer is more of the same, and the game's overall feel just seems like a slightly beefed up MW2. The original... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Best online multiplayer since COD4

Let me first say that I had no interest in Black Ops 2 initially. Like many, I thought I was done with the Call of Duty franchise as each year it became more of the same. However, I rented Black Ops 2 and that changed ve... Read Full Review

Max Payne 3

A great game, but doesn't feel like the Max Payne we're used to

I was a huge fan of the first two Max Payne games. This game wasn't the overall slam dunk I had thought it would be. There are some things I absolutely loved and some I absolutely hated.First, we shall start with the po... Read Full Review

Dead Island

A fun, moody adventure

Overall the game is FUN. It's satisfying to bash zombies over the head with machetes, sickles, pans, really anything you can find or if you are more technical there are shotguns, grenades, rifles, etc. Not to mention tha... Read Full Review

Castle Crashers

A solid, fun game that appeals to all ages

Castle Crashers brings us back to why we love games. It is reminiscent of old-school side-scrollers like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles of regular Nintendo back in the early 90s. It is a simple game, so anyone can play... Read Full Review

Forza Motorsport 4: January Jalopnik Pack

Forza Motorsport 4

A frustrating DLC cash grab ruins a potential masterful game

I have been a huge fan of the Forza series but 4 is basically a slightly upgraded Forza 3. Same old tracks, a few different vehicles, enhanced graphics that remain probably the best in the racing genre but definitely fee... Read Full Review

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Will blow the minds of newcomers, but still leaves some to be desired for the veterans

If you've never played an Animal Crossing game, this game will absolutely blow your mind. I have had just about every Animal Crossing, so I wasn't as impressed. My overall sentiment is that there is just "more" than ther... Read Full Review

Borderlands 2

Ain't No Rest for the Wicked

Borderlands was one of my favorite games of all time because it was just FUN and was entertaining. It had its own atmosphere that was original. It blended RPG and FPS elements and I found it refreshing and well implement... Read Full Review

Battlefield 4

Gameplay not fun, buggy, not much more to say

This game is really 'meh' and I had very little fun with it. The gameplay is just so mediocre. I thought the SP story was actually its stronger element. The guns just all feel alike and I can't pinpoint it, but the comba... Read Full Review

Gone Home

At the beginning, you feel like you're in for a treat, but unfortunately that sense of mystery quickly trails off

Let’s begin by confirming what others have been saying that there is no way this game is a 9.5. Paying $20 for a few hours of gameplay inherently made me feel cheated. There is really no replay value.When you first... Read Full Review
