When Civilization V released in 2010, it was one of my most anticipated releases, and with good reason. It brought a lot of sweeping changes to the formula we knew and loved, and I really feel they made it feel like a whole new game, and not just another iteration of the same formula. Gods and Kings offers a return to the religion system which was so popular in Civ IV, though adjusted to fit the gameplay style of V, along with a host of changes and all the new content you might expect from an expansion pack.

The Amazing Spider-Man is equal parts Batman: Arkham Asylum and inFamous, and the combination works. The game story picks up after the film is over; I won’t spoil any story beats for you here, but I also can’t advise you whether the game contains spoilers from the film.

In short, if you love music games, you shouldn’t be passing this game up. READ MORE
First and foremost, if you suffer from epilepsy at all, you should probably avoid this game at all costs. Now that we have that out of the way, Dyad is definitely an interesting game, to say the least. It’s an odd hybrid of rail shooter, music game, racing game and an accurate visualization of what it might be like to be on drugs. There’s definitely a lot going on in this game. READ MORE
Fans of classic Tony Hawk gameplay put in their order, and Robomodo has cooked and served it up. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD isn’t some design epiphany or revolutionary new concept. You said no pickles so they didn’t include pickles, you know? It makes for a recipe that doesn’t quite have that soul that comes from an original idea, but it replicates the feel of the first two games. It comes in with a few difficulties, but it brings the taste that people were wanting.
