Obsidian Entertainment makes magic with Trey Parker and Matt Stone for South Park: The Stick of Truth, which perfectly captures the spirit of the series in a surprisingly traditional turn-based RPG.

Luftrausers review

The ever-agile indie Vlambeer turns its attention to bullet-hell shoot ‘em ups in Luftrausers, which feels like a cross between Asteroids and Robotron 2084.

Sigma 18 35mm focus full

Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM review

Sigma's 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is a wide-aperture lens that delivers sharp image resolution. But a high price tag and short zoom makes it a niche lens that's not designed for all.

Third Eye Crime screenshot 5

Third Eye Crime review

Moonshot Games' debut, Third Eye Crime, is a mixed success, with a tremendous sense of style and a satisfyingly punishing difficulty tempered by ubiquitous and occasionally misleading in-app purchases.

There is genuine creepiness at the core of Zombie Studios’ Daylight, but the randomly generated elements of the game don’t work well in the context of survival horror.

Ubisoft Montpellier fails to execute on the great idea fueling Valianat Hearts: The Great War, with overly simple puzzles and a story that lacks any emotional resonance.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark review

There's technical proficiency behind Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, but cross-marketing demands and seemingly rushed development mar what could have been a decent third-person action game.

Civilization Revolution 2 review

Civilization Revolution 2 may be a portable take on Sid Meier’s classic series, but there’s too little that’s new to justify the “sequel” tag or the high price.

Samsung SmartCam HD Pro review

The SmartCam HD Pro is Samsung’s answer to the popular Dropcam home monitoring system. It’s easy to use and easy to set up, and it delivers nice-looking Full HD video quality. Its design is questionable, but it delivers on its main function.

Grid Autosport review

In an age when most racing games fill the spaces between driving in circles with a multitude of features, Grid Autosport's lean race-first focus is a fresh surprise.

The Last of Us Remastered review

Naughty Dog delivers a definitive take on its 2013 award-winner in The Last of Us Remastered, but it’s evident from frequent AI hiccups that the team stuck primarily to visual upgrades.

CounterSpy screenshot 2

CounterSpy review

Dynamighty's CounterSpy is a stylish, run-and-gun side-scroller that could have done more with the fictional context in which it builds its playgrounds.

Surgeon Simulator AE screenshot 1

Surgeon Simulator Anniversary Edition review

Hearkening back to the childhood days of playing Milton Bradley's Operation, Bossa Studios' Surgeon Simulator Anniversary Edition abuses players with its mix of vague objectives and hilariously awkward controls.
Gaming Reviews
InFamous First Light screenshot 10

InFamous: First Light review

Like a poorly cut piece of meat, the delicious gameplay of Infamous: First Light is marred by deep cuts on the story and design side that render it an all together lesser experience than Infamous: Second Son, the game it spawned from.

Madden NFL 15 review

Like any annual release, Madden NFL 15 is a mix of familiar and fresh. The difference this year is the fresh stuff brings in some welcome elements that make the game much more attractive and user-friendly for newcomers.

Indie newcomer Xaviant's Lichdom: Battlemage shows lots of promise, with a novel approach to shooter gameplay and an impressively deep spellcrafting system, but it suffers from uneven pacing during its 20-hour journey.

The Sims 4 review

The Sims 4's oddball real life simulator is new and improved for sure, but issues with the early game and the content regression after all of the DLC for The Sims 3 makes for a less-than-stellar launch.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel review

Despite a handful of fresh elements, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel feels more like a lesser carbon-copy of what preceded it and less like the confident step forward that it out to be.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse review

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is simple to pick up and play but difficult to master. It's fun, but weirdly out of place on the Wii U, since your attention is always on the GamePad touch screen.
