'The Walking Dead: Michonne' mini-series, for better or worse, is pretty much just more of the same from Telltale Games. So far, it's not the best story they've told, but if you're a fan, there's no reason not to check this one out.

Improving upon the original in almost every way, 'Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2' is a great-looking game with a surprising amount of content. It also now includes a pair of single-player campaigns and the increasingly rare couch co-op.

'Just Cause 3' is definitely an upgrade, but it comes at an expense. All of the new toys don't mean a thing if you don't have a time or a place to use them.

'Minecraft: Story Mode - Episode 3: The Last Place You Look' is surprisingly more action-oriented than its predecessor, but the series is still best suited for 10- and 12-year-olds. The rest of us will have to see which series Telltale Games will continue next.

Sword Coast Legends fails to live up to its potential, delivering a generic repetitive campaign and creation tools that are easy to use but have no depth.

This is a surprisingly accessible and well-executed Japanese role playing game. However, longtime veterans of JRPGs may find the narrative and overall game framework unremarkable compared to more niche titles in the genre.

While Polarized is arguably the weakest of the five episodes, Dontnod's indie-film approach to adventure games is commendable. If you try only one new game franchise this year, make sure it's Life is Strange. The title redefines narrative in modern gaming.

Telltale’s formula is actually fairly entertaining. If there weren’t others moving into the spot of gaming real estate Telltale has staked out, the developer might still be contending for “Game of the Year” honors.

Minecraft: Story Mode is made for the original Minecraft game's largest demographic, which is decidedly younger than those who have been playing TellTale's recent adventure games. It remains to be seen whether younger gamers will appreciate such a story-heavy game, particularly with TellTale's delivery issues.

With its creepy story, disturbed visuals, atmospheric soundtrack and gripping gameplay this horror-sci-fi game surprised and engaged me from start to finish.
