Injustice: Gods Among Us Review
Injustice: Gods Among Us is NetherRealm Studio's return to the DC Universe. Will a company dedicated to over-the-top violence be able to make a good fighting game without their most iconic characters backing them up, or will this be another excuse for the masses to hate fighting games?

Tomb Raider Review
After several games of the same formula, the Tomb Raider series is getting a reboot. Crystal Dynamics is showing that even if a series is successful, there are times that you need to go to the beginning and start from scratch. I'm so happy that they did just that.

Crysis 3 Review
Crysis 3 is easily one of the most anticipated games of 2013. Does the next installment live up to expectations or is it a pretty shell for a mediocre FPS game?

Special Forces Team X Review
With recent restructuring of the company, Special Forces Team X was the last title to come out from the previous development cycle. Is SFTX a competitor in the online multiplayer market? No but it instead bases itself in a secluded market that hasn’t been tapped since the last generation of console: airsoft-styled weapons in a third-person shooter. Then again, maybe we should have left it back in 2003 when it was cool.

Skulls of the Shogun Review
Inspired by the popular GameBoy franchise Advance Wars, 17-Bit Studios’ new game franchise Skulls of the Shogun is a turned-based combat title about deceased samurai who strive for glory in their afterlife. The cartoon style brings some humor to a mythological very serious bit of Japanese culture.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Review
When it was revealed that the next entry into the Metal Gear franchise on home consoles was Metal Gear Rising: Revengance and that it would be later to be revealed as Raiden, fans went into frenzy. They even got more riled up when Kojima said that development would be done by Bayonetta and Mad World developer Platinum Games. This was definitely a bold move, but was it a bad call?

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review
Developed by Firaxis as the studio’s first departure from a game created by Sid Meier, these guys are known for some of the deepest strategy experiences available in video games. Known for the Civilization series, they take their experience from their years of work on Civilization to work on a rebirth of the XCOM franchise. Can this wealth of experience bring new life to the series on the current consoles?

In pixelated 4:3 ratio, Retro City Rampage is a game that adult gamers would reminisce about from the late 80’s. Making an impossible list of callbacks to classic pop culture objects throughout video games, movies & other media, RCR puts together a game that every twenty-something or thirty-something’s nostalgic feelings would tingle for.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Review
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron tells the story of the last days of Cybertron through the eyes of the Autobots & Decepticons. The single-player campaign is an enjoyable experience includes some good action sequences, but it’s nothing special for hardcore Transformer fans while newcomers to the series from the Shia LaBeouf trilogy can jump in knowing about a third of the characters. Outside of the campaign, there’s also a great multiplayer that’s completely unexpected!

Guardians of Middle-Earth Review
The massive online battle arena (MOBA) sub-genre has blown up the past couple of years. While DotA was the first game to focus on this style of play, League of Legends is another MOBA game that has become a massive hit. Thing is, for us console folks, that MOBA craze has been passing us by. Guardians of Middle-Earth is trying to fill that MOBA void along with combining the well-known characters of the Lord of the Rings universe.

Halo 4: Crimson Map Pack Review
A month and a few days after the release of Halo 4, the newest maps are out and I couldn’t believe the mixed feelings I was getting from each time I played. From realizing how overpowered red team was on each map to enjoying two great symmetrical maps, every match that I played with the Crimson Map Pack was something different.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Review
Meet Sonic, his friends, and a plethora of symbolic Sega characters from the last 20 years as they duke it out in the gentleman's sport of competitive racing, with a twist Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. As a whole, it's an unique spin on the cart racing genre. The question is whether these new features are game sellers, or cheap gimmicks?

There were few people I knew who were more excited for Hitman: Absolution than myself. Admittedly, I've been pretty scared of what IO Interactive has to offer since the trainwreck that was Kane & Lynch 2. Suffice it to say I was guarded when I stepped in the world of Hitman once again.

Another year, another Call of Duty. Black Ops II is the sequel to 2010’s Call of Duty game, Black Ops, developed by Treyarch who has done their share of games in the franchise right behind Infinity Ward. Does Black Ops II have enough “new” to keep the series from going stale or is this just another entry for a series that’s been milked way too much?

Traditional role-playing games have always contrasted from the fantasy era of literature with goblins and orcs. Some of the greatest stories ever told have been through that medieval fantasy of a world riddled with wars between human, orcs, goblins & elves but Of Orcs and Men just stands as another title in the genre.

With the release of Resident Evil 6, Capcom has been given a new chance. Once again using what made Resident Evil 4 great, they've mixed in some of the things that put previous installments on the map. Now with branching campaigns, Resident Evil 6 hopes to bring in both fans of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4. A respectable attempt, but forgive me for being skeptical.
