From our Review: Any game bearing the Deus Ex name sets a high bar for itself, and yet, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided clears it handily. The followup to Deus Ex: Human Revolution retains the strong gameplay blueprint of choice-driven stealth and RPG elements that defines the series, but its superlative map and mission designs elevate it to new highs.

From our Review: There isn’t much better than going head-to-head against my buddies in a good Madden game, talking trash, bragging about that big play, and flaunting my victories to the point of unsportsmanlike conduct. Madden NFL 17 couples all of that with elevated gameplay mechanics, improved on-field player interactions, and a long-awaited emphasis on franchise mode. It’s great to see that this series has finally found the sweet spot it hasn’t seen since Madden NFL 05.

Delivering knock-out blows since 1994, the KoF franchise is reinvented in The King of Fighters XIV. For the first time, the visuals have evolved into 3D graphics, yet The King of Fighters XIV manages to keep the classic 2D gameplay and 3-on-3 Team Battle game systems that players expect from this intense and strategic fighting franchise. Battle online in player-vs-player modes or throw a fight fest with the new Party Battle mode.

From our Review: The first 10 minutes of Inside, the long-awaited Limbo follow-up from developer Playdead, swing between being beautiful, haunting, and terrifying. Sometimes it is all three at the exact same time. From there, it adds intrigue, wonder, and shock on top of those and never lets up. For that reason, it’s best if you take my word for it and go in completely blind to discover it for yourself. But if you need to be convinced, keep reading for more on this visually stunning, thought-provoking, and mysterious masterpiece.

From our Review of the Vita Version: You can look at Metrico through two different lenses: the premise (and promise) of a puzzle game built for the PlayStation Vita, which is excellent, and the execution, which isn’t. To say that Metrico is novel is an understatement. There’s nothing like it out there, on Vita or elsewhere, and I applaud the small Dutch team Digital Dreams for… well… dreaming up something like this. But Metrico still suffers from too many drawbacks to fully recommend without caveats. Its technical shortcomings are somewhat baffling, and its control inputs seem like they were designed in a vacuum.

- Also downloadable on PS4 & Xbox One

From the creator of indie horror hit Home comes Alone With You — a single-player sci-fi exploration game that takes a unique approach to "romance". You play the sole remaining member of a doomed terraforming colony. Your planet will crumble and implode in less than a month, and you must use your remaining time to try to escape. The catch? There is only one escape pod left, and it isn't functioning. Even worse, the only people who specialized in its systems are all dead from the colony’s mysterious failure. But the colony’s AI is still with you, and together you plan to get yourselves off the planet -- by recreating those key colony members and learning how to fix the ship, so you can both flee to safety.

Armikrog is a point-and-click adventure project comes from the mind of famed creator Doug TenNapel (in association with Mike Dietz, Ed Schofield, and composer Terry Taylor.)
Although it is not planned to use characters from in his successful Neverhood universe, the game uses the same distinct claymation design and unique, twisted style of TenNapel's previous productions.
Release Date: Tuesday, August 23, 2016
- See it on Amazon for $19.96 (Blu-ray)
From our Review: Serving as both a prequel and sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman, The Huntsman: Winter’s War isn’t engaging enough for fantasy or action fans to enjoy and isn’t kid-friendly enough for families, despite its shameless poaching of the female protagonists of Disney’s Frozen and Pixar’s Brave.
Release Date: Tuesday, August 23, 2016
- See it on Amazon for $19.99 (Blu-ray)
From our Review: With the talent involved in The Nice Guys, it was always going to be highly unlikely that it was not going to work. Of course, you can never take that for granted, and plenty of Hollywood projects that looked great on paper have turned out to be absolute disasters by the time they got to the big screen.
Thankfully, that’s not the case here.
Release Date: Thursday, August 25, 2016
