The Knife of Dunwall ends with an interesting choice (and foreshadows the next planned downloadable chapter in Daud's story), but the real payoff of this DLC is how it takes the cocktail of discovery, exploration, and combat that made Dishonored so delicious, and adds an engaging twist.

The Knife of Dunwall changes protagonists with panache, delivering a compelling new chapter in the Dishonored saga.

Riptide is dumb, and mind-numbingly slow, and somehow manages to make the art of zombie-slaying feel like utter tedium. And if slaying zombies isn't fun in a game that's all about slaying zombies, why bother?

This first-ever English release of Soul Hackers shows its age, but the patient player will find a deep and rewarding experience.

ShootMania Storm's sleek action is an invigorating return to the days of speedy, purely skill-based shooters.

Motocross Madness is an enjoyable feature-packed dirt bike racer with boisterous offline and online components.

Defiance is the B movie of massively multiplayer games: rickety and unrefined, yet a good time all the same.

Much like its own arkfalls, Defiance offers treasure, but you have to battle an array of bugs before you can reap it.

The gameplay of Papo & Yo won't grab you, but its imaginative portrayal of a young boy's struggles makes it a worthwhile and special experience.

Defiance is the B movie of massively multiplayer games: rickety and unrefined, yet a good time all the same.

This high-definition edition of the classic real-time strategy game adds little more than bugs.

Injustice provides a complex fighter with some unique twists, but is found wanting in features that have become commonplace in its contemporaries.

A hard-hitting fighter that plays to the hardcore crowd. Its creative use of background objects coupled with satisfying fighting mechanics make it both fun and distinct from it contemporaries. But for newer players, the minimal instruction modes and disappointing story provide little incentive for your sustained interest. And the absence of replay support is a loss for everyone involved.

Evoland goes through the motions of imitating some great games, but never evolves into a good game itself.

One of the most terrifying games in recent memory.

Issues aside, this inventive, supernatural mash-up is absolutely worth possessing--demonically or otherwise.

The responsive controls and a grin-inducing sense of humor make it near impossible to put down, and the expressive use of color will warm the hearts of even the most cynical among us.

When Terraria sucks you in, you might find yourself digging and crafting for far more hours than you originally intended.

Terraria is just as magical and content-rich on consoles as it is on the PC, although the controls aren't ideal for every situation.

Hatty Hattington and his friends may be living through an absolute nightmare, but you're bound to be so thoroughly entertained that you won't have time to empathize.

What The Infamy promised, The Betrayal fails to deliver due to a glacial pace, repetitive missions, and an inconsistent new power.

It's as cute as a button, but dull, simplistic dungeon exploration drags Gates to Infinity into mediocrity.

It's not quite the smooth, finely tuned speed machine it could have been, but Need for Speed: Most Wanted U is still an exciting racer.

Shattered Haven's inert levels and unwillingness to let you naturally learn obscure its more brilliant moments.

HarmoKnight is the friendliest rhythm platformer around, but its simplicity does not always work to the game's benefit.

The elements that made its predecessors interesting have been all but destroyed, making Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel a functional shooter but little more.

There's nothing here to make a mark: no creativity on display, no clever competitive modes, no sense of accomplishment. There's only a seven-hour campaign, optional missions in which you try to keep the overkill meter consistently replenished, and the knowledge that in a month, you won't remember having played Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel.

A classic case of a game sequel giving you what you need, but not necessarily all you want.
