I can understand why someone would be a little hesitant to try a game that leaves its movement and battles completely hands-off – personally, I prefer to actively play games than to passively watch them. Don’t let the idle aspects of the game fool you, though. There’s a surprising amount of depth and strategy to the game that goes well beyond what you’d expect from it. Loop Hero is the kind of game that will have you telling yourself that you’ll play “just one more loop” while the clock hands make a surprising number of circuits of their own.

I had a great time with The Taken King. There really is more to it than a new set of story missions and some new strikes and multiplayer modes - it has improved upon Destiny in many of the areas in which I thought that the original game fell short. And, unlike the original, I'm compelled to keep playing the game even though I'm am through with it from a review perspective.

Kalimba is easy to recommend to gamers who like a good platforming challenge. The difficulty level is probably too high for the average gamer, though, and even those with a good degree of platforming skills will require a good degree of patience to go along with those skills.

X-Men fans rejoice! There’s finally a game worthy of your devotion.

Help Max draw his way out of trouble in this clever physics based platformer.

Bad Piggies is certainly more challenging than the Angry Birds games that came before it. A three year old can play Angry Birds, but without at least a rudimentary grasp of basic physics Bad Piggies will be an exercise in frustration.

At its best, Civilization III is addicting and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it suffers from some play balancing , AI, and occasional stability issues which bar it from realizing its full potential.

A fascinating game that provides a tremendous amount of gameplay.

It’s really too bad that Capcom didn’t take this chance to add online co-op to the game since it would have worked well for a console known for its online play. The pros and cons to the game are all still the same on Xbox One as they were in the Switch version. The difficulty can get annoying but still feels overall satisfying for the most part. If you still haven’t checked out this game yet and are a GnG fan then be sure to pick this game up.

Retro 8-bit platforming at its best.

Both fun and challenging, and very nicely walks the fine line between realism and playability.

Nioh has a lot to offer with its deep combat system, and it's an overall addicting action game for fans of Ninja Gaiden and Dark Souls.

Fulfill a sci-fi fantasy by becoming the Captain of your own starship! Don't expect great graphics, but do except to lose many hours to FTL and expect to lose your ship ... a lot.

More of an incremental change over the original game than a full-blown sequel, but those increments are pretty good ones.

If you’re a Call of Duty fan then you’ll find a lot to like about it. However, the mission difficulty adds a level of frustration not found in the original game.

1942: Joint Strike is a great pickup for any fan of the 1940 series or any fan of shooters in general.

It plays great, offers lots to do and even though it can be slow on the story and missions seem endlessly repeated, it is still a must play for any KH fan.

Kirby Super Star Ultra is really just an enhanced port of an old game, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's actually quite good.

I imagine that most people who go into Prince of Persia with an open mind will find at least a few things to enjoy.

The atmosphere, action, and variety of special abilities make Project Snowblind an enjoyable experience.

Even with the differences between the two versions, one thing is for certain among all hardcore fighting game fans in need of another Soul Calibur - you do not own Soul Calibur IV, Soul Calibur IV owns you and all of your spare time once it enters your house.

C&C: RA3 is a polished, clean, and prime example of what makes real time strategy games still fun.

However, if you're an RPG fan it's hard not to like the game and the breath of fresh air it brings to an often tired genre. So go out there and stop the English … with orcs!

Still the same loud, in-your-face action game that was released two years back, but much smoother and with tweaks and extras for returning fans.

Rare is the game that can generate a truly creepy atmosphere – Call of Cthulhu is one of those games.

It has the magical ability to make hours melt away in gaming bliss without the player even really noticing the passage of time.

Overall, I had fun with my time with Titanfall 2. The single player campaign is a huge improvement over that in the original game, and although it starts slowly it does eventually come around and provide for some enjoyable gameplay. The multiplayer gameplay is a lot of fun, both as a pilot and at the controls of a Titan, but a lack of modes may ultimately hurt the game's longevity.

Overall, I enjoyed my time with Far Cry 4, although it's really an extension of Far Cry 3 with a more exotic location but a weaker story. Open world shooter fans should enjoy their trip to Kyrat.
