News::Shadow of Mordor knows how to break you down to build you up

GamesRadar - It's funny how life can surprise you. Back in the ancient, bygone days of September 2014, I thought I knew what my immediate gaming future held: MMO shooters and heavily-anticipated horror games. Somewhere in my periphery, I was aware of a licensed Lord of the Rings title called Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, but given my lackluster experience with LotR tie-ins, I didn't give it much thought. Little did I know than in less than a month, I'd be admiring its Platinum Trophy in my collection.

News::Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Review - DigitalChumps

DigitalChumps: "Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a mere shadow of the Tomb Raider series. BUT! It is very much in the same vein as the dungeon crawler beauty Diablo. Of course, that comparison doesnt mean that you get the same amount of depth to the gameplay, nor does it mean you get the incredibly complicated story and fighting system that comes with Diablo. Rather, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is just a simple, straightforward, top-down shooting game that has some leveling and equipment upgrade qualities to it ,but mostly Crystal Dynamics keeps the game clean, mean and fast."

News::Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris - PCGamer

PCGamer: "I never finished Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light because I feared that I'd be missing the point if I didn't play it cooperatively. The sequel, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, which now has four-player co-op, is definitely more fun with a friend, but its mix of twin-stick shooting, platforming, and environmental puzzles are worth playing with any number of playerseven alone."

News::Dragon Age Inquisition: Legionnaire Multiplayer Guide

GameZone's Andrew Clouther: "Playing the Legionnaire is pretty straight forward as a tank. Be the first to enter a room, be the first to gain aggro, taunt, guard, use Unbowed and Talking Fortress when you need to. Being the first to take an action means youll be the first to grab the group aggro. If the Archer or Keeper acts first, youll be doing more pealing than tanking. Running around hitting your foes a few times but now following through with the kill will help keep aggro especially once you have the Biggest Threat passive."

News::Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Review - Gamespot

Gamespot: "Isometric-view cooperative games aren't so uncommon in this day and age, not when Diablo III still commands a sizable audience and its imitators clamor for favor. What makes Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris stand out, at least from a mechanical perspective, is that it feels not like a button-mashing display of otherworldly power, but rather like a true adventure. Temple of Osiris is more about the wonder of mystical places and the pleasure of solving puzzles than about firing shotguns and squishing the rising undead. This is video gaming through the lens of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which in turn looked to the old serial adventures with such evocative names as Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe and Jungle Girl. The jungles and the universes change, but the unfettered drama of these classic stories still lives."

News::The Crew Review - GameOver

GO: "The Crew has a slightly bigger scope than most racing games out there. While many are about just getting in first place, this one is about doing that while also going on a nationwide road trip across the United States. Unlike National Lampoons Vacation, youre not out to go to a theme park. Instead, youre playing as Alex Taylor out to avenge the death of his brother, Dayton. Alex is framed, thrown in jail, but an FBI agent named Zoe gets him out and so now youre working with the feds to get the rogue agent who helped set you up and killed your brother."

News::The Crew Review - Gamegrin

Gamegrin: "From its inception, The Crew was sold, and heavily marketed, as a next-gen driving game. Not because it looks photo-realistic, or because it incorporates revolutionary game mechanics, but rather because it acts as the ultimate example of modern connected play. A seamless online world in which you can travel around a digital representation of the US inhabited by other human drivers. You can form crews to take on missions together, and generally interact with strangers and friends alike. Yet with the game loaded and on-screen, it quickly comes apparent that Ubisoft may have been going about this the wrong way. Ivory Tower hasnt created an incredible online driving-world, instead, theyve created one of the most vast, and incredible gaming locations ever."

The cars handle poorly, and you'll end up crashing into corners instead of taking smooth turns. At the start of the game, the handling of all the available cars is sluggish and unresponsive - compared to a game like Need For Speed Rivals, or GRID Autosport, racing in The Crew feels like a dental procedure."
