Starting Again With The Walking Dead Season 3
Fan-favorite The Walking Dead had a bit of a stumble on the videogame side with a mixed Season Two story. But now they are back with The Walking Dead Season 3: The New Frontier, and so is the magic!
A PS2/360 Re-invasion with Destroy All Humans
Destroy All Humans is a re-release of an old PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 game. As such it’s about what you’d expect, now with supped-up graphics and sound for extra alien destruction. All the crazy humor remains solidly inside the game, though that may be a bit of an acquired taste.

War Rides Again in Darksiders: Warmastered Edition

Watch Dogs 2: Hacking Fun in San Fran
Watch Dogs 2 isn’t a revolution, but it’s a clear improvement on the original, which gave us a bland hero with nothing to say. Ubisoft adds a much needed dose of fun to Watch Dogs 2, elevating it above the first game by adding bright, energetic graphics and some engaging characters, whilst also giving it a moral heart.
Final Fantasy XV is a Stunning Success
With some of the most beautiful graphics for any game released this year, a complex open world and a totally redone real-time combat system, Final Fantasy XV is set to become an instant classic in RPGs, and one game you certainly should consider playing over the holidays.
The Last Guardian Review – flawed, but beautiful
After 10 years in development, The Last Guardian is finally here. Overall, it was worth the wait, but it’s also slightly disappointing because the clunky controls mar an otherwise beautiful story.
