Unlike 2014, there was a large quantity of seemingly stellar video games this year. In fact there were so many excellent titles this year I decided to compile a list of my own. These are my top 10 games of the year. However, I did take into account review scores and critical reviews from noteworthy reviewers and websites in...
A pair of dice rolls across the table, slowing down as four tense players hold their breaths. The cubes come to a stop displaying two sixes on top. One player cheers with joy, while the others groan in pain, disappointed that such a riveting game finally has a winner, or at the very least, a winner other than themselves....
*This review is exclusively for the Xbox One version of the game. Few students at Jesuit had any idea that such a cinematic and well-polished game like the Rise of the Tomb Raider was being released the same day as Fallout 4. In fact, the majority of gamers had no idea that the next game in this series reboot was even coming out. Although, I blame...
There are spoilers in this review, you have been warned. There is certainly a unique aesthetic and feel to nearly all of the games developed by Bethesda Game Studios. They have a phenomenal record and pedigree for creating games that exhibit all of the key elements needed for a successful open world role playing game (RPG). Fallout 4, their latest...
After installing a massive 9GB day one patch, hundreds of thousands of Xbox One owners booted up 343's newest title, Halo 5: Guardians. 343 had a lot to make up for after the release of Halo 4. The multiplayer community in the previous game was bored with the content after a mere two months. At the same time the story was incredibly predictable and...

Everything inside the train begins tumble out the back into the valley below as the train inches closer to tumbling off with Drake inside of it. His leaps become more sporadic and desperate as the realization of the dire...
The new installment of the most popular sports game in the world is now on the shelves. FIFA 16 burst onto the scene with improvements all over the pitch. Putting the not so appetizing Fifa 15 behind them, EA’s best franchise enhanced the back line, midfield, and the always breath taking attack. Also, throwing in some new features, FIFA 16 looks...
Rain, high speed, stunning visuals and super fast cars. What more could a car enthusiast want? This year marks the 10th anniversary to the first Forza game. To mark this great milestone the developers over at Turn 10 Studios have created this phenomenal addition to the franchise: Forza Motorsport 6. In my opinion this is the first iteration in the franchise that truly feels...
