May 30, 2014
Child of Light80
May 30, 2014
And as a whimsical, sweet-natured tale of a princess who learns she must earn her right to return home, it's a warm-hearted departure we found difficult not to embrace. [July 2014, p.68]
May 30, 2014
Battlefield 4: Naval Strike80
May 30, 2014
With four distinctive maps and a fun new mode, Naval Strike is a stellar pick-up for Battlefield 4 fans. [July 2014, p.77]
May 30, 2014
Borderlands 2: Headhunter Pack 5 - Sir Hammerlock vs. the Son of Crawmerax80
May 30, 2014
Son of Crawmerax provides some fun level-34 encounters and new cosmetic heads, but it's only necessary if you're starved for extra content. [July 2014, p.83]
May 30, 2014
Batman: Arkham Origins - Cold, Cold Heart75
May 30, 2014
Cold, Cold Heart is absolutely fine: The story is predictable but satisfying. The combat is occasionally frustrating but still fun. And the unique touches don't add much, but are welcome nonetheless. [July 2014, p.71]
May 30, 2014
LEGO The Hobbit75
May 30, 2014
Despite not including anything from the third Hobbit movie that could provide a satisfactory ending, Lego The Hobbit has enough content and charm to keep you entertained until the inevitable next Lego game. [July 2014, p.76]
May 30, 2014
Call of Duty: Ghosts - Devastation75
May 30, 2014
The overall package could stand to be more robust, but thanks to Mayday, Devastation still packs a punch. [July 2014, p.77]
May 30, 2014
2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil70
May 30, 2014
EA's newest iteration of FIFA features improved play on the pitch, but doesn't provide enough gameplay modes to justify a $60 price tag unless you live and breathe the World Cup, or want to play as every country FIFA recognizes--including American Samoa. [July 2014, p.73]
May 30, 2014
Blood of the Werewolf70
May 30, 2014
With a handful of infuriating exceptions, Blood of the Werewolf's challenging gameplay generally feels fair and rewarding, and its increasingly lethal, lightning-quick action is well paced. [July 2014, p.78]
May 30, 2014
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - Deluxe Edition65
May 30, 2014
Blackgate succeeds in channeling Arkham's open-world structure into a 2.5D format, but runs into pacing issues and hackneyed dialogue along the way. [July 2014, p.70]
May 30, 2014
R.B.I. Baseball 1450
May 30, 2014
After last year's abysmal MLB 2K13, a new contender seemed like a breath of fresh air, but R.B.I. Baseball 14 is a poor alternative. [July 2014, p.82]
