Having released two times already, both in unsavory conditions, the success of its sequel has made a compelling case for this remaster. It's as good as can be.
Chex Quest HD

Chex Quest HD review: Only 90’s kids will understand

Chex Quest HD is an enjoyable freebie that doesn't strive to be more than a quick hit of 1990s nostalgia for fans of the original. So, is it worth your time?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's standalone Battle Royale package was worth the wait. Plunder is a triumph that demands your time.

While none of the new modes or additions are game changers, they help make MLB The Show 20 the best version yet of Sony's PlayStation 4 baseball sim.
Resident Evil 3 Hands On

Resident Evil 3 review: This remake is truly terrifying

The latest Resident Evil remake is a serious horror game that few will regret playing, even 20 years after the original game's debut. It's truly frightening.

Afterparty bartender

Afterparty review: A charming game of no consequence

Afterparty tackles an interesting concept by making hell into life's afterparty, but struggles to make its gameplay rise to the occasion.
Google Stadia DOOM Eternal

Doom Eternal review: Gold medal gore

Doom Eternal builds on the lightning-fast action that revived the franchise with 2016's Doom. It's one of the best first-person shooters of this generation.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Dungeon DX

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX review: A monotonous adventure

Rescue Team DX sets out to revive a Game Boy Advance cult classic but tries too hard to make the experience accessible to all ages with misguided tweaks.

Google Stadia review: The revolution isn’t now

Google Stadia is a cloud gaming platform that plays games remotely and beams them to your device through the Internet. Stadia delivers much of what it promised, including console-quality gaming on smartphones, but its success comes with plenty of caveats.

Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 review: Best controller ever

Warcraft 3 Reforged main character holds a hammer and stares at the camera.

Warcraft III Reforged review: A mediocre remaster

Warcraft 3 Reforged, a remaster of Blizzard's classic fantasy RTS, provides updated graphics and better compatibility with modern PCs. Yet a host of bugs and missing features make Warcraft 3 Reforged a mediocre update, at best.
Featured image for Pascal's Wager review

Pascal’s Wager review: Finally, a Souls-like for your phone

Pascal's Wager is essentially a Dark Souls game on mobile devices. Somehow, that was not a complete disaster. While mostly imitating FromSoftware, the game also has a few unique ideas that add a nice twist of strategy to the standard formula, including a "sanity" system during battles.
DualShock4 Back Button Attachment

PlayStation DualShock 4 Back Button Attachment review: Great upgrade, great price

The PS4's DualShock 4 controller now has two more buttons with the addition of the Back Button Attachment. The $30 accessory is the perfect complement to the original controller and adds two buttons. The design is a little bulky, but it's still a great accessory for the price.
8BitDo Zero controllers

8BitDo Zero 2 review: This gamepad fits in your pocket

The 8BitDo Zero 2 is the tiniest controller we've ever seen, giving you a great option for playing the Nintendo Switch on the go. You'll just have to make sure you take some breaks in order to avoid the hand cramping that comes with using a controller that is less than three inches long.

Hand Tracking on Oculus Quest hands-on review: My immersion!

e3 2019 call of duty mobile preview callfodutymobile

Call of Duty: Mobile is the best shooter I’ve played on a smartphone

Call of Duty: Mobile attempts to put the franchise's tight gameplay in the palm of your hand. It's largely successful, thanks to precise controls and attractive graphics. Call of Duty: Mobile will please fans, but probably won't win new converts. It arrives on iOS and Android later this year.
Cal fighting the Ninth Sister in Jedi Fallen Order.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order review

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is hardly the most unique take we've seen in a video game adaptation of the franchise. Despite this, its blending of several games and Star Wars tropes works, resulting in a game that excels in both combat and in quieter story-focused and exploration-heavy moments.
Death Stranding

Death Stranding review: Bridging the divide

Death Stranding is a technical marvel filled with innovative social components, which cements Hideo Kojima as one of gaming’s most crucial voices. However, its slow-paced, repetitive gameplay is often too high-concept for its own good, sometimes making the game more entertaining to look at than to play.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare review

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare manages to capture the essence of the original Modern Warfare trilogy without being held slave to its more antiquated elements. The result is Infinity Ward's best game in years, with exceptional strong campaign and competitive multiplayer modes and no-nonsense progression.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint Delta Company community content creators E3 2019 Ubisoft

Ghost Recon Breakpoint review: A breaking point

Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a more varied game than its predecessor Ghost Recon Wildlands, but it remains too unpolished for a major AAA release from such an acclaimed shooter franchise. Microtransactions available for several different types of items don't help to smooth out the rough edges.
Pokémon Sword and Shield Gym Leader

Pokémon Sword and Shield transform gym battles into a really big deal

With Pokémon Sword and Shield only a couple of months away from release, we decided to get some hands-on with it at PAX West 2019. The demo we played took us to a gym to face off against Water-type gym leader Nessa, and it quickly turned into our first-ever Dynamax battle with gigantic-sized pokémon.
