Super Smash Bros. Ultimate also made my top 10 list last year . In that article, I said it could make the list this year if the game added Geno. While they weren't added to the game, we still got exciting characters like Joker, Hero, Terry Bogard, and most surprisingly Ba

While this live-action interactive game is very short and definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea, it is an experience that has certainly stuck with me this year. Unlike most FMV heavy games, Erica doesn't try to justify its use of live-action through its premise, it's just how Flavourworks wanted to tell this story. That was an incredibly risky move, but the experience is held up by good writing and a great performance by Holly E

Fable: The Journey represents Microsoft 's latest - and likely final - attempt to prove that Kinect , in its current incarnation, is a viable control interface for more than just dance simulators and mini-game collections. Developed by Lionhead Studios , with the now departed Peter Molyneux serving as Creative Consultant, The Journey puts players on a guided, first-person tour of Albion which, thanks to the power of Unreal Engine, has never looked better. But does the game play as good as it looks? Read on for our full review of Fable: The Journ

But it is also not unheard of for Microsoft to pull a real surprise out of nowhere during their press conference (they did so last year with the new Xbox 360 redesign ), so don't be shocked if it happens once again. While we have taken a few stabs at what that big surprise might be, we’ll know for sure on June

The game itself roughly breaks down into two primary modes of play: driving sequences and combat sequences. Gabriel and Theresa travel the lands of Albion in a horse-drawn buggy, with frequent stops during which Gabriel must use his newly acquired magical gauntlets to dispatch wave after wave of threatening foes. Rest stops, where Gabriel can tend to Seren, help break up the experie

After Star Wars Battlefront 2 got struck down, EA's Star Wars games have become even more powerful than you could possibly imagine. While the discourse surrounding Star Wars is hitting an apex of toxicity following the release of The Rise of Skywalker , fans should still remember that the franchise received two great additions this year: The Mandalorian and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Ord

"Welcome! Take a seat, get comfortable and get ready for your Journey! Try to sit upright, and keep your legs uncrossed. For best results, place your Kinect sensor in a central position above or below your TV. You may need to sit forward in your seat if it has... High arms... A low seat... Or a soft back. Make sure you have enough room to play. Try not to sit too close to other people or objects. To access the Kinect Guide while playing, hold your left arm straight out to your side. Try this now to begin your Journ

We'll be seeing this game's influence on the industry over the next couple of years, whether that be via making traversal interesting alongside the online mechanics. We need more adventure Games Weapons like Death Stranding . Still, I don't think I can ever hear another line as terrible as "Like Mario and Princess Bea

Although the robotic creature is the pet of Alyx Vance, not Gordon Freeman, there are few who have played through the Half-Life 2 series who don't have a soft spot for the mechanical companion. Possessing the loyalty and temperament of its namesake, D0g is deadlier than any flesh-and-blood creature could ever

Tetris was already great on its own-- just look at last year's Tetris Effect --and splicing battle royale mechanics in there only embellished the whole multiplayer experience. As the game has received some single-player and local multiplayer modes since launch, Arika and Nintendo's game has cemented itself as one of the best Tetris titles of all time. It's becoming a mobile game too . That's always a good sign, ri

The Outer Worlds was everything people wanted it to be and more. While studios like BioWare and Bethesda have seemed to abandon their roots in recent years, The Outer Worlds revels in its old-school RPG design. It isn't the largest or most grandiose game out there, but it is certainly one of the most well-written and replayable RPGs in a long t

In this case, the line between the player's character (Wander) and his steed (Agro) is as blurred as possible, with the trusted horse relied upon to take down more than one of the titular colossi. Despite her name, Agro showed a calm loyalty that spoke volumes, and exhibited a sacrifice that is still etched in the memory of all who pla

Just like the Trials series, half of the fun is in mastering the course, and a few unique objectives across the game's sixteen tracks and four mountains add to its replayability. Lonely Mountains: Downhill can still be quite difficult and somewhat irritating at points when you just can't get a part of the course down, but overall Lonely Mountains: Downhill is a soothing and relaxing game to play if you aren't doing anything else or want to do something more than just listen to John Mulaney, Ben Hanson, or Andrew Y
