Diablo III: Reaper of Souls ended up being just what I needed: A high-quality expansion that would compel me to return to (and enjoy) Diablo III again.
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z sullies the name of the franchise. It fails both on a gameplay level and on a comedic level, and really doesn't offer anything worthy of its price tag.
Tower of Guns won’t keep you occupied for hours on end, but if you’re a gamer looking for a quick fix of intense action you’ll be hard pressed to find a better title.
Dark Souls II will absolutely astound old fans of the series while offering just enough to win over some new ones. If you've got the patience to learn, this game is an absolute must play.
Earth Defense Force 2025 is a game that demands that you turn the critical thinking part of your brain off while you sit back and blow things up. In that regard, it's given a masterclass.
Lords of Shadow 2 had limitless potential in front of it, and could have been the best Castlevania game of recent memory, but poor design choices, a questionable story, and flawed mechanics will kill most players' interest before they even get half-way through.

It’s been a long time coming, but Eidos Montreal has finally announced that Thief has gone gold. To celebrate, they’ve released a 6 minute trailer that breaks down exactly what we can expect when we finally get our grubby little hands on the much-anticipated title.
I don’t think there’s a more interesting topic in gaming hardware right now than the SteamOS initiative being rolled out by Valve. We’ve had hints at what coming down the pipeline, but up until now we’ve largely been in the dark about what we can expect in terms of actual components or manufactures. After what has felt like a lifetime of waiting, Valve has finally announced the following 13 companies as partners that will be rolling out their own versions of the Steam Box.
