Overall NFS doesn't break barriers but does have some good ideas that I think given some time to fully develop the social aspect of the game could really revitalize the series even more.

I like what's been done with the campaign, both in terms of bringing in the multiplayer-like loadout features and in taking the story in a thought-provoking, Science Fiction direction, and I love that so much replay-ability is built into it.

The game's only real misstep is the wildly inconsistent graphical presentation, but the gameplay and amount of features and things to do more than makes up for some occasionally shoddy visuals.

Downwell isn't the kind of game everyone will like, but if you like challenging arcade platforms, you'll love Downwell.

The best pigeon dating sim ever made.

Solid multiplayer action, but brought down a notch by a campaign that just doesn't live up to the hype.

A good mix of manga characters along with some SEGA goodness, but deep down, the game feels shallow as a fighter.

You know what it's like when a band you like comes out with their first album in years and it's completely different than anything else they've done before? Guitar Hero Live is like that.

Fans of Koei's hack and slash games will most likely find something to enjoy in Samurai Warriors 4-II - if you're in it for the overall gameplay, it's a lot of fun.

It's more of a narrative experience than a game, and therefore its appeal will be limited among console gamers. If it seems of interest to you, then I certainly encourage you to give it a try, although you may still find the short length of Three Fourths Home to be disappointing. On the whole, though, it's hard to imagine that most gamers won't be dissatisfied after buying and playing this game.

Overall, Tearaway Unfolded is unique and charming enough to recommend to gamers.

Retro 8-bit platforming at its best.

For a casual fan of the sport like me, it provides an enjoyable level of challenge and never feels like it is punishing me because I don't know all of the subtle nuances of the sport.

A quirky clown adventure of happiness.

One of the most thought-provoking stories you'll see in a horror game.

Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition adds a good bit of content for first time buyers, but really only The Taken King portion of the package truly shines.

Make tracks to give World of Tanks a test drive on your Xbox One.

SuperChargers is as good as the Skylanders have ever been, and old fan or new, this is a ride you really need to strap in for and enjoy.

Most of this collection is for those who've played these games before, but the Xbox 360 titles alone make it a good value for the cost.

There is a little too much variety for my taste, but there is a niche for everyone to find their comfort zone and stick to it for the next year to come.

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.

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition has a lot going for it, but there are certainly parts of it that have not aged too well.

So overall you have a LEGO game that for the most part sticks to the formula, feels like it is really stretching its source material to fit the mold, and introduces a new gimmick that's fun, but not as much fun as it could have been.

Sword Art Online finally comes to consoles and it brings along everything that was on the portable versions of the game and plenty of extras.

Even though the gameplay elements may be a little light compared to most games, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Until Dawn. The story kept me captivated and very few games succeed at creating such a creepy and unsettling atmosphere.

Strategy gaming stripped to its core and flung out among the stars.

The game is as fun and challenging as it was back in the day, and the updates and additions are sweet enough to make even stingy DMC fans shell out.

I had some fun with Sorcerer King at first and liked some of the concepts it introduces into the fantasy kingdom game formula. However, it feels like things just don't come together well, and that overall the game is light on content and one-dimensional.
