Miss out on this one and the joke's on you. More than anything else, almost everything about Bayonetta feels just right. Its host of hidden items and secrets, multiple difficulties, competitively balanced scoring system, and charismatic heroine make it a game that will be revisited time and time again. This is one action game that you absolutely must not miss. Read the review Watch the trailer Also see: Bayonetta 2. Sure, the action is fine, but its primary focus is its story, a sci-fi mystery that manages to feel retro and futuristic at the same time, and its characters, who convey most of the story via radio transmissions and audio logs that you're constantly stumbling upon as you wander around.
All of it blends together to form a rich, interesting world that sucks you in right away and won't let go until you've figured out what, exactly, is going on in the undersea city of Rapture.

GameSpot Review: 9. Clever gameplay mechanics are the driving force, pushing you toward your inevitable confrontation with the woman you've lost, but it's the engrossing story that cements this as something really special.
Caught between striving for the future and remaining rooted in the past, Black Ops II finds solid footing, providing another great ride on the Call of Duty rollercoaster. GameSpot Review: 8. User Average: 8. The game is a hilarious adventure through medieval countrysides, enemy-filled castles, and venting volcanoes in search of true love[s], as well as the end of evil.
It has some online issues, but storming a castle has never been more fun. It takes a special one to terrify you.
Dark Souls is such a game. It's a thoughtful, atmospheric, and mysterious role-playing adventure that challenges your mind and your mettle. Whether you're looking for a terrifying horror experience or a deeply story-driven adventure that will keep you engaged for hours, Dead Space is a fantastic game that you should not pass on.
Read the review Watch the trailer Also see: Dead Space 3. The new multiplayer modes and gymkhana events are great additions, and if you're interested primarily in traditional racing disciplines, it has more than twice as many routes to race in more varied weather conditions and in an even greater selection of vehicles. Unlocking different powers, finishing missions in different ways, striving to be more or less murderous, and seeing a different endgame all offer appealing incentives to give it another go.
It's a rare game that feels so compulsively replayable, but Dishonored is such a game. Read our review Watch the trailer. It's hard not to get sucked into Fable II. The world is so charming and your choices so profound, that it's easy to look past the game's shortcomings. The punishment for death is pointless and the story carries little weight, but the experience is still immensely rewarding.
It's easy to lose hours to trivial tasks, and discovering all the secrets tucked away creates a truly memorable adventure. The new ideas presented here may not change the future of gaming, but there are some noteworthy additions that make this feel completely unique. Your emotional attachment to your virtual dog will be real, making you reliant upon his companionship as you trek through these lands. You're going to stand on top of a tower, flipping the camera around the square world, thinking you've broken the game because there's seriously no way you could have possibly missed something, and then you'll see a symbol, and realize you saw it earlier, and then You've figured it out.
You'll scribble it down on paper--real paper, like a freaking archaeologist--and feel like you've just cracked an ancient code. And once you crack that code, you'll realize you have the pieces to crack another. And then another. What begins as a basic platformer with a cute, retro gimmick evolves into something absolutely massive, and almost violently rewarding.
No other game simulates its sport like NBA 2K Commentary, courts, player likenesses, animations, licenses--everything in this game is pristine. And while the visuals of the version pale in comparison to the next-gen offerings, it still looks incredible.
Thing about NBA 2K14 is that its more than just gloss: theres a superb, deep game underneath it all. My Team has come on leaps and bounds too, and the live data 2K14 gets from the NBA ensures that each game you play is as realistic and up to date as possible. If you love basketball, you can probably move this game up the list maybe by about 45 places. From the moment you choose your name which is, regardless of what you write, changed to "Douchebag" by the Grand Wizard of the Kingdom of the Koopa Keep, Eric Cartman to the final battle that you may very well fight with a flaming dildo , you're met with a nonstop barrage of South Park jokes, references, and cameos.
It's almost overwhelming at times, but it's handled in such a way that you don't need to be a fan of the show to understand the humor. But where it's most successful is in being able to both make fun of games while also being an incredibly good one--too often, satire feels jealous and malicious, but when the game is better than the ones it's making fun of, the otherwise brutal comedy that is South Park feels more In that, The Stick of Truth is a love letter to the genre it lampoons, and an experience that was totally worth the lengthy wait.
The Fable series has always offered a compelling blend of dark, adult fantasy and goofy-but-clever humor, but the now-well-worn franchise has never delivered on its fascinating gameplay promises quite as completely as with Fable 2. Compared to other action-RPGs, its quite simple, but what it lacks in mechanical complexity it makes up for with deep and rewarding player interaction. Sure, you've got all your adventuring and your combat, but what about getting married? And then, immediately following, getting married to someone else and letting your two spouses meet to see what will happen?
Its not without issue, but there's genuine novelty in these systems, and, moreover, their consequences. Plenty of games let you make choices, but it's a rare thing for a game to make you feel their weight in practical terms. Help a bandit rob a shopkeeper? Those multiple spouses? They might end up killing each other, leaving the city to take your children. Show me another RPG that's as depressing, and still as much of a good time as Fable 2. Most shooters are all about the GUNS!
