FIFA 08 is not the first next-gen soccer game, but it's the first one to really feel like a full next-gen game.

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.

Resident Evil HD Remaster is the ultimate version of the Resident Evil remake and it still looks just as amazing as it did back when the original game first released.

Quit reading this, head to the store and buy something that isn't Halo Wars.

Taking part in a pitched combined arms battle will get your pulse racing and set your nerves on edge. However, sometimes you’ll find yourself spending most of a game in transit from one spot to another.

Dark Souls II was easy; Crown of the Sunken King is the real challenge.

SSX lands the trick of relaunching the much-loved snowboarding game series.

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.

Pretty basic. Without the need to manage resources beyond controlling villages, the game's economy is about as simple as it comes.

Overall Tekken 7 is a definite improvement over past Tekken games and the overall fighting system seems to be evolving well with new enhancements that seem to fit in well with established features. My only main gripes with the game are the prolonged story mode and the stripped single player content. If you're buying Tekken 7 for its online modes, you'll get the most out of the game since the online is smooth and the new tournament mode is a great new feature. No matter what, Tekken is in a league all its own when it comes to comparing it to all other fighters and Tekken 7 is easily the best version of the series yet, so you owe it to yourself to pick up this latest installment if you're a fan of the series!

Portable RPGs have become pretty stale of late, and Puzzle Quest is just the breath of fresh air the genre needs.

If you take a step back and try to pull away the The Lord of the Rings veneer, you’ll find that BFME is a competent strategy game in its own right. Add top quality production values and you have a game that holds up to the ideals and excellence of its license.

From Soho down to Brighton, it's the best videogame version of pinball you'll find.

I enjoyed my time with Broken Age. I found the story to be compelling, and I kept coming back to play the game in much the same way I keep making time to read another chapter in a book that's hard to put down.

OMDU is an enjoyable game, with a nice combination of strategy and action gameplay with enough inherent randomness to keep the maps interesting after you've played them a number of times before. That being said, you should be aware that progression in the game comes in terms of access new traps, trap upgrades, and trap mods, as well as gear and perks, rather than in making your way through a campaign or a large number of levels. I found it odd and a little frustrating that trap upgrade points are awarded as random drops rather than through using the traps in the game, so it can take a while to upgrade the traps in your favorite loadouts while traps that you don't really use have reached higher upgrade levels. While there is variety in terms of enemy types at different difficulty levels and the number of heroes and traps you can use, the number of maps in the game is naturally limited. Achievement chasers will be in heaven, though, as the game features over 100 achievements to unlock.

For the money, I don’t think you’ll be able to find a more current racing game that gets any better than Blur.

Aside from the paint-by-numbers hero, music and voices, I can't think of too much wrong with the overall game.

New world graphics and old world gameplay.

As good a stealth game as you'll find on the GameCube.

The game has a certain charm to it, with its persistent robot, minimalist graphics, and odd collection of robots and contraptions.

If you’re a casual fan of the series or are interested in giving it a try for the first time, I think that you’ll find Project 8 as enjoyable as I did.

Injustice is now among us and it serves up some sweet justice for DC comics fans that have been waiting for a great fighter starring their favorite comic characters.

NBA 2K8 takes this year's videogame basketball crown.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 is an under par performer, which is actually a good thing!

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.

Painkiller puts the action back into action gaming and will pull you in, pump you up, and unleash the righteous demon-slayer buried within.

I don't know about you, but I prefer games that can hold my interest for more than five minutes and there are plenty of tower games out there that can do that.

Nothing like a drive-by shooting with a little Mozart cranking out of the subwoofers!
