Some nights Battlefield 4 felt straight up unplayable. We trust that DICE will remedy the issues with the title, but it does stand on the weakest foundation that we've seen from the studio for quite some time. Luckily there isn't a hell of a lot else as far as huge names go on next generation consoles. That lasting appeal until next spring is something that makes Battlefield 4 really attractive.

Faith, as this episode is called is appropriately named, is worth the investment. The studio needs you to download this episode on nothing but the faith that this series will be just as amazing as it's last. And we hope you do believe in Telltale because this is one series you don't want to miss out on.

Mario Party: Island Tour's lasting appeal is mainly in the multiplayer mode. Since the experience is always changing and the fun is shared amongst friends. It is a game that will provide a great party experience, but only when family or friends are over.

It's an extremely entertaining time knocking around some goblins, and this game will even serve as a nice alternative to the typical shooters we saw at launch.

When compared to past Killzone titles, we found Shadow Fall to have one of the better campaigns. There are some tedious tasks found during the latter half of the game that hurt the game's flow. Regardless, Killzone: Shadow Fall is a quality first-person shooter, making it a definite play for PS4 early adopters.

We had some fun laughing at how it responded even worse when playing multiplayer. The loading screens warn you to be careful around friends lest you make physical contact but you really should just be warning them away. Microsoft promised that Kinect has been vastly improved with the launch of the Xbox One but if you're looking for proof of that Fighter Within is not it.

If pirating and plundering with some stealth on the side sounds mouthwatering to you, chances are you want to get into this, no matter what you thought of Assassin's Creed III. We're more than glad to see the franchise continuing in the right direction. Consider us surprised that pirates didn't turn out to be the most cliche experience in the universe.

8 / 10.0 - NES Remix
Feb 6, 2014

NES Remix is a fun downloadable title that gives the player a chance to relive their classic gaming moments. Priced at $14.99, the title offers enough content to justify the price. Retro gaming fans will be thoroughly entertained with NES Remix. Hopefully Nintendo considers releasing a SNES Remix in the near future.

There isn't much left to say about One Piece: Romance Dawn. This port is a lazy, borderline insulting cash-in on a popular franchise.

Those who haven't played this game, you need this in your game collection because it is a perfect example of a great platformer. Whether or not this game is worth $40 is a subjective decision each of you will need to make, but we certainly would be willing to recommend picking this game up day one on PS4 regardless. It's simply that good, once again.

There's a war inside of Bigby, that much is clear. And if the preview for Episode Three is to believed, this story is about to go to some dark places. We can't wait to see what's next.

The Stick of Truth is the complete South Park experience, and there is nothing else in gaming like it.

The game is a great sampling of what to expect from Phantom Pain, but there is enough content to make Ground Zeroes more than just a sampling. You will find yourself replaying missions over and over.

Comparable to the titles that came before it, Fusion shines spectacularly with its sharp interface, sophisticated and refined environments, and an overall spiritedness that makes you feel alive inside even when you're ready to smash your controller.

On the whole, "Mario Golf: World Tour" provides an easy to pick up and enjoyable arcade golf experience with loads of content for Nintendo 3DS owners. The rotating tournaments, online play and unlockables give you a reason to keep coming back and competing. Meanwhile, the line-up of playable Mario characters combined with item drops and colorful courses liven up the normally staid sport.

Even with the lack of depth, the game is still fun based on its difficulty and the fighting system.

I'm happy to report to you, Watch Dogs is a great game.

Judging by the screens, people may think that Murdered: Soul Suspects is a survival horror title, especially with the pics of the demons. It is far from that, as it tells a solid story and is more categorized as a suspenseful thriller. The lack of challenge in the game and the redundancy really hurt the title in the long run. The game is more similar to the likes of Heavy Rain, as it seems like more of an interactive movie. While the game looks and runs great, it certainly will not be for everyone.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War is on the short side, lasting roughly 6-hours. That being said; the experience is a powerful and emotional journey. It is one of Ubisoft's best releases and a must-play for gamers this summer.
