From our Review: There’s something about being dropped into a brand new game world and finding it to be dense with deeply considered lore, terrifyingly aggressive creatures, and tantalizing questions that leaves an indelible mark on the memory. Horizon Zero Dawn is one of those games, and it carves out a unique identity within the popular action-roleplaying genre. Coupled with wonderfully flexible combat and a story that touches on unexpectedly profound themes, I found it hard to tear myself away from Horizon even after I’d finished its main campaign some 40 odd hours later.

From our Review of Episode 1: Both a continuation of the last two seasons and, as its name suggests, a fresh chapter in Telltale’s ongoing saga, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier kicks off with a tightly paced, engaging premiere episode that has me excited for what lies ahead this season. “Ties That Bind Part I” is not a complete departure from what made previous seasons work, but it does feel like an attempt to correct some of the series’ wrongs; and so far, it’s succeeding.

From our Review: No film this year has received quite as much hype from its early festival screenings than Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight, which also marks the latest film from A24, the continually impressive and challenging film studio whose presence in the entertainment industry and awards circuit grows more and more with each passing year. They’ve made it their prerogative as a studio to release films unlike any other major distributor out there right now, and with Moonlight they’ve not only given us one of their most unique films to date, but also one of their most impressive.

From our Review: There’s something admirable about the relaxed nature that courses through a majority of Allied, the newest film from director Robert Zemeckis. Starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard, the film is a love letter to Hollywood's old-fashioned, wartime love stories that Zemeckis learned his love of the craft by watching. Where his sole focus on pushing the visuals of his projects as far as they’re seemingly willing to go in recent years has led to some disappointingly shallow efforts (see Beowulf or The Walk), Allied is yet another visually-stunning and technically pristine effort from the veteran filmmaker, even if the rest of the film doesn’t manage to live up to that same level of craftsmanship.

From our Review: If you’re looking for a better modern rally game than Dirt Rally, you can stop looking; it doesn’t exist, and WRC 6 hasn’t toppled Codemasters’ off-road opus. But with its robust career mode, well-designed stages, and approachable handling model WRC 6 makes a good case for itself as a credible companion game to the venerable Dirt Rally. It’s not always very pretty, and it can’t really touch its competition in terms of content, but WRC 6 is the most fun I’ve had with an officially licensed WRC game in over a decade.

Nintendo Switch is a breakthrough home video game system. It not only connects to a TV at home, but it also instantly transforms into an on-the-go handheld using its own screen. For the first time, players can enjoy a full home-console experience anytime, anywhere.
The versatile Joy-Con offer multiple surprising new ways for players to have fun. Two Joy-Con can be used independently in each hand, or together as one game controller when attached to the Joy-Con Grip. They can also attach to the main console for use in handheld mode, or be shared with friends to enjoy two-player action in supported games. Each Joy-Con has a full set of buttons and can act as a standalone controller, and each includes an accelerometer and gyro-sensor, making independent left and right motion control possible. The screen includes capacitive multi-touch capabilities for compatible games.

Each game takes advantage of the Joy-Con controller features of the Nintendo Switch system in different ways. While the action unfolds off- screen, the audience watches the players themselves instead of the screen. That makes it as hilarious to watch as it is to play -- an instant party amplifier!

In Super Bomberman R, the simple rule remains the same: as your own Bomberman character, place bombs, and battle with enemies and rivals, but Bomberman is back in a modern style with 3D stages and photo-real graphics. You can enjoy battles with rivals from all over the world.
There is "Battle" mode for maximum of 8 players, and single play "Story" mode (cooperative play for 2 players is possible as well) where players clear each stage one by one, with a big volume of 50 stages. Also, there is a new rule where the condition to clear the stage is not just by wiping out all the enemies. This simple but strategic game with new rules and 3D stages is fun for everyone, from children to adults.

From our Review of the PS4 and Xbox One Versions: This year’s Skylanders sometimes feels like a casino: it’s exciting to look at, easy to consume, obnoxiously loud, and certainly wants to take your money with an excess of microtransactions that kids could easily accidentally click on. But with the addition of a new character-creation menu that’s buffed up with loot and gear of varying rarity, Skylanders Imaginators adds a level of customization, control, and creativity that keeps it feeling fresh.
