    Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
    Among the many games released each year, there aren't many that leave you contemplating and debating their story and worldviews long after the final set of credits has rolled. Virtue's Last Reward takes its place proudly among this crop of games. As fun and challenging as the brainteasers in the room escapes are, they're merely dressing for the fantastic writing, memorable characters, and stunning plot twists that could only be presented successfully in a game format.

    Silent Hill: Book of Memories
    Silent Hill: Book of Memories falls short as both a dungeon-crawler and a horror game.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Just Dance 4
    Sure, Just Dance 4 doesn't bring much in the way of new features to the party, but if all you want is to have one hell of a fun, energetic, and hilarious time, there really is no party quite like a Just Dance 4 party.

    Happy Wars
    Happy Wars suffers from serious technical issues that undermine an otherwise quality core experience.

    007 Legends
    A cast of five famous Bond villains conspire against you in 007 Legends, but the uninspired gameplay is your true nemesis.

    007 Legends
    Missed opportunities cower in every corner, ranging from an irreverence toward the subject matter in the disjointed story to the absence of familiar voices, and the gameplay feels like it started life as an amateur Bond-themed Call of Duty mod.

    Liberation Maiden
    A striking action-packed shoot-'em-up that's up there with the best in the genre.
    • 81 Metascore

    Borderlands 2: Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty
    Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty delivers mild-mannered humor and a satisfying adventure for you to shoot and loot your way through.

    Derrick the Deathfin
    Derrick the Deathfin's stylish adventure through the ocean is packed full of charm, if not a lot of content.

    Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise
    Naughty Bear might have more ways to kill in Panic in Paradise, but the overall experience is barely more entertaining than the original.

    Dance Central 3
    Whether you're looking for a beginner-friendly dance experience, rigorous routines that challenge your skills and help you burn calories, or a terrific party game that gets everyone on their feet and having fun, Dance Central 3 is the best way to turn your living room into a dancefloor short of hiring your own personal DJ.

    Inazuma Eleven Strikers
    A lack of depth prevents this Inazuma Eleven Wii spin-off from living up to the legacy of its DS cousins.

    Warlords
    The Warlords remake falls short on both re-creating the old and delivering something exciting and new.

    Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
    In Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, thoughtful puzzle design shows that the series is still at the top of its game.

    Retro City Rampage
    Like the cold response Marty McFly got from his failed attempt to introduce 80s-style guitar licks to the people of the 1950s, a game like Retro City Rampage might have been too much for players of the 1980s to handle. But now, its time has come, and it's well worth experiencing, warts and all.

    Retro City Rampage
    The ride's a little rough at times, but Retro City Rampage's blend of open-world action and 8-bit style is goofy, novel fun.

    The Walking Dead: Episode 4 - Around Every Corner
    Much of this episode feels forced, with characters being maneuvered into position to wrap everything up in the finale.

    The Walking Dead: Episode 4 - Around Every Corner
    The newest Walking Dead episode is enjoyably tense, but a more formulaic script and a greater focus on action make Around Every Corner weaker than its predecessors.

    NBA 2K13
    You couldn't get closer to the real game if you had Spike Lee's seats at MSG. The labyrinthine interface, lack of tutorials, and obnoxious Jay-Z production form a barrier when first warming up to the game, but the enhanced right-stick controls, depth, and sheer realism of everything will hook you after logging a couple of hours on the hardwood.

    NBA 2K13
    Enhanced realism and a great new control setup make NBA 2K13 a fantastic recreation of pro hoops.

    WRC 3: FIA World Rally Championship
    WRC 3's lightweight handling and lack of diversity means it fails to hit the heights achieved by other racing games.

    Forza Horizon
    Horizon's occasional missteps may clash with the machinelike precision of the Motorsport games that preceded it, but its ambition and untethered road map more than make up for those faults. This is a game that understands the thrill of the open road, and in delivering that thrill it's an unqualified success.

    Fable: The Journey
    Fable: The Journey makes excellent use of the Kinect.

    The Walking Dead: Episode 4 - Around Every Corner
    It also seems like the developers have painted themselves into a corner, having loaded the first three episodes with so much tragedy and death that we're left stranded with a bunch of strangers in episode four. With that said, it is still impossible to put this game down, and the stage has been set for the story of Lee and Clementine to come to a fitting, tragic conclusion.

    Dragon Ball Z for Kinect
    Fans will no doubt appreciate the exclusive episode of the Dragon Ball anime included with the game, which is nicely presented in HD. But that's hardly enough to make up for the sheer mind-numbing repetitiveness of the game.

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown
    With each turn, the newest entry in this beloved strategy series heightens the sense of tension, and each defeat of a hovering alien craft thus becomes cause for celebration.

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown
    Enemy Unknown packs dense amounts of dramatic tension into each turn. And so it's time to eliminate the alien threat, commander. Select a location, build your base…and save humanity.

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown
    A wonderful and worthy strategy game with a layer of campy charm that makes the stone-faced seriousness of the game's characters all the more endearing. It's also remarkably accessible, thanks to a great interface that feels comfortable whether you're using a keyboard and mouse or have a controller in your hand.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Dishonored
    Dishonored's engrossing world and intoxicating interplay of supernatural powers make it a game you'll want to play more than once.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Dishonored
    The incredible variety of ways you can engage or evade your enemies makes Dishonored impressively flexible and utterly captivating.
