    Company of Heroes 2
    Company of Heroes 2 focuses more on online gameplay than a single-player driven experience. War on the Eastern Front is just as chaotic as it was in the West, but the addition of environmental factors adds a new level of depth that players will also have to tackle. Realistic combat coupled with a multiplayer mode that delivers will keep you charging the fields for an extended period of time.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara
    All in all, you get exactly what you can expect from Chronicles of Mystara: An excellent, old-school brawler that won’t necessarily please younger gamers, but that will almost certainly delight older, nostalgic fans.

    Pool Nation
    The newly redesigned characters combined with the already stellar graphics and physics make this a great game to play whether you're a fan of pool or if you just want a cool game to play this summer. Though I would've liked more game modes and I have my doubts about how large the online community will be in a few months, Pool Nation is still a must-buy for PlayStation 3 owners.

    Fuse
    A welcome surprise and a nice break from the story-heavy and highly cinematic games that have come out in the past few months. This game is the definition of gameplay over presentation, and it’s all the better for it.

    Sacred Citadel
    Fans may struggle with the genre shift, but Sacred Citadel is exactly what it set out to be: A pick-up-and-play side-scroller where button-mashing trumps anything resembling narrative depth.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us
    Gods Among Us provides a robust cast of DC fighters, gameplay mechanics that cater to gamers of all levels, and an extensive amount of content that will leave gamers delighted.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14
    Rarely is a trip through time, courtesy of a video game, as engaging and enjoyable. This new mode delivers pure immersion due to the gameplay variety and era specific visuals.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    BioShock Infinite
    BioShock Infinite is a sure-fire game-of-the-year candidate, and definitely one of the standout single-player games of this generation.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
    For the Naruto faithful this game is as good as it gets, and compared to some of the dreck that other anime studios have pushed into the gaming world fans can do a lot worse.

    Fuel Overdose
    I found that frustrating handling overshadowed the plethora of content in what would otherwise be an enjoyable racer.

    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
    Capcom’s Monster Hunter team seems to be well aware of what their fans want, and with the multitude of improvements found in this remastered edition of MH3, newcomers have a very good reason to hop on the bandwagon and start enjoying this great franchise.

    Gears of War: Judgment
    Judgment feels a bit like an excuse to provide the Xbox 360 with one last first-party game for what is likely to be its final year as Microsoft’s flagship game platform.

    Darkstalkers Resurrection
    As enjoyable as Darkstalkers may have been in the past, the series has been eclipsed and nothing about its revival can make that fact untrue.

    • 89 Critic Score
    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
    Improvements need to be made, but Metal Gear Rising has already established itself to be an action game well worth buying.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The Hip Hop Dance Experience
    For those who already have mad skills on the dance floor, this game delivers as advertised. Unfortunately it is also fiendishly hard and those not endowed with a strong hip hop dance background will find a very steep learning curve.

    Tomb Raider
    Lara’s latest adventure is one of the most fun, immersive, emotional, and thrilling rides the series has ever taken us on.

    • 76 Critic Score
    Alien Breed
    Despite Alien Breed’s shortcomings, it still holds the charm of a bygone era. The new level packages, while not quite as extensive as the original Breed or its special edition release, provide more than enough content to justify the $10 PSN price tag.

    Crysis 3
    If you are a fan of the Crysis franchise, though, you may still find elements to enjoy about the game, but if you seek to find a totally new FPS experience or even just a breath of fresh air, you will be very disappointed with Crysis 3. It may not be the best in the series or live up to its full potential, but it remains an enjoyable game nonetheless.

    DmC: Devil May Cry
    A worthy rebirth of the franchise as it possesses fast-paced chaotic action, which is diversified by the several weapons that make up Dante’s arsenal, an engaging soundtrack, and a story worthy of the DmC franchise.

    Serious Sam Double D XXL
    Consistency seems to be what prevents Serious Sam Double D XXL elevating from a good game to a great game.
    • 57 Metascore

    Special Forces: Team X
    While Special Forces cannot contend with the expansiveness and nuance of Call of Duty or Halo, it does have an innate “pick up and play” quality.

    Dead Space 3
    While the buzz surrounding the game brought fear to a lot of the series’ veteran players over the past few months, I’m happy to report that the final product is a near-perfect balance of classic Dead Space and action-oriented gameplay.

    Rabbids Land
    Rabbids Land had the chance to really be the first go-to party game on the Wii U. Sadly, Ubisoft doesn't deliver a worthwhile experience, and the Rabbids brand, such as it is, suffers as a result.

    Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection
    Even though it was given a resolution increase, you still can't play the game widescreen, and porting the 10 year old graphics and physics engine doesn't make it better.

    Far Cry 3
    What is insanity? Anyone who has yet to experience the thrill that Far Cry 3 has to provide.

    Funky Barn
    The targeted demographic often seems to become an excuse for developers to offer little content and oversimplified game mechanics, but any parent that wants to offer something their kids could enjoy on their brand new Wii U should think twice before investing in this title.

    LEGO The Lord of the Rings
    Lord of the Rings was a supreme candidate for the Lego treatment, and Traveller's Tales has put together the perfect set of gameplay elements to complement the license they were working with.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    F1 Race Stars
    The competitive nature featured online creates an environment that successfully utilizes creative and strategic approaches against rivals.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops II
    Black Ops II presents interesting backdrops and fine shooter action. The game hits its stride when it presents features that move beyond your traditional shooter, whether that be shooting at helicopters from horseback or diving out the back of a crippled plane.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    ESPN Sports Connection
    Overall, ESPN Sports Connection was a frustrating experience from every angle. It's sad, but it feels like the game tries to fill a void that simply isn't there.
