Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection Review
Nothing Is Good. Everything Is Permitted.
HIGH These three titles represent the most memorable story development in the series.
LOW These three titles represent the laziest upgrade package on modern consoles.
WTF Assassin’s Creed II’s gameplay has aged as well as dollar-store parmesan.
Gears of War 4 Review
Blown Back To Life

Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas Review
A link to the past
HIGH It’s Zelda, for those unwilling to pay for the real thing.

WTF Leading enemies to water and watching them drown themselves never gets old.
Everspace Preview
Rockfish Games, the developer of space-shooter Everspace, should thank No Man’s Sky in their credits. Why? By virtue of the work from Hello Games being a disaster from the moment it launched, Everspace not only garnered press coverage interested in similar space-themed games, but has also been deemed a better title before it’s even launched. Granted, their work is nowhere near completion, but even in its Peter Brady phase, Everspace is showing many signs of trumping its overhyped competition.

F1 2016 Review
Roaring Out Of The Pit
HIGH Unlike last year, this is a deeeeeeep, full-featured racing sim.

NBA 2K17 Review
Jordans, Jordans everywhere …
HIGH: MyCareer is now 100% Spike Lee-free, and MUCH better for it…
LOW: …Although that’s not to say it doesn’t get silly at times.
WTF: Purple-faced created players that appear due to poor rendering.
Madden NFL 17 Review
A Modest Two-Yard Gain
HIGH: Finally, a kicking system that isn’t always a sure thing.
LOW: Ultimate Team seems to be a bigger cash-grab than before.
WTF: Two hours in and still in training mode?
