There's some delicious sleight of hand at play here between what we're being told and what, I think, Townfall will actually turn out to be. [4-Hour Hands-On Impressions]

Halo: Campaign Evolved is more successful at being a reinvention of an FPS classic than it is a reproduction - and that needn't be a bad thing.

The Roottrees are Dead studio Evil Trout gives William Rous' brilliant lo-fi deduction thriller Type Help a slick remake, and while the changes are many, it remains a smart, rewarding, and hauntingly effective mystery.

This series offshoot is a hectic, often overwhelming delight.

Irreverent, unpredictable, funny, and unputdownable, Denshattack! proves that a commitment to aesthetic and game feel can make any game feel like even more than the sum of its parts.

There is an ebb and flow to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: for every positive change the remake offers, it feels like there's a negative just beneath the surface.

This game gets me inside the music. It makes me pay attention. It makes me try to understand what's actually going on.

Velan's conservative but accomplished remake goes all-in on spectacle to much success, even if the script could do with some wit.

And ultimately it's finding the connections for yourself that makes this game so compelling. I like bosses and combat, but I loved a moment early on where one part of the island dropped me into a taster session of another part, or where I unlocked a train. That train gets at the magic of the game quite brilliantly, actually: it's not just that it's a fast travel system. It's that it's also a freakin' train. When you use it to go anywhere, you get to wander up and down the carriages, investigate, talk to people, and ponder a little more of the world you're in. And sometimes...?

007 First Light is less cerebral and replayable than IO's World of Assassination trilogy, but makes up for it with excellent fistfights and oodles of charm.
