Injustice: Gods Among Us debuts as a bold new fighting game franchise that introduces a deep, original story featuring more than 20 fan favorite, and other less well-known, DC Comics icons such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Harley Quinn, Solomon Grundy, Nightwing, Cyborg and others. Set in a world where the lines between good and evil are are blurred, players will experience heroes and villains engaging in epic battles on a massive scale.

God of War Ascension is confused, repetitive, directed, amazing, and experimental. It heralds the end of the generation, but itself is a story of the beginning. Both Alpha and Omega. How appropriate.

Shipwrecked. Captured. Betrayed. Forced to perform for an audience of cats? Wait, what?? You’ve just unlocked the door to BattleBlock Theater! There’s no turning back once you’ve started on your quest to free your imprisoned friends from evil technological cats! Immerse yourself in this mind bending tale of treachery as you battle your way through hundreds of levels in order to discover the puzzling truth behind BattleBlock Theater.

You might not be playing Bioshock Infinite, or maybe you haven’t yet, but you really should be. Or have been. Or definitely going to. Do it.

It is a bit hard to recommend putting down the full $25 for such a short experience that has little replay value. We don’t even know how much ‘game’ will be offered over the 5 episodes. However, if you are looking to kill an hour, and have some faith the remaining 4 episodes will live up to expectations, Kentucky Route Zero provides a unique moodiness.

Despite all of this, as a whole, Assassin’s Creed 3 is not a terrible or broken game. It’s just substantially worse than any of the previous games in the series. It’s just so hugely disappointing, it feels like a betrayal.

Splitkick’s 2012 Game of the Year feature continues with Rocket Jump co-host, Aaron Phokal.

You’ll just have to use the controller, your hands, or your voice, to navigate the myriad of songs available on the Dance Central platform. Dance Central 3 offers an extensive and high-quality package to shake your booty in front of your Kinect. And, unless you are a soulless hipster, the recent release of the new Gangnam Style DLC is definitely worth $3.

If you pre-purchased War of the Roses, you’re likely enjoying the competitive package offered here. However, without the tools necessary to more easily learn the game’s systems, it is difficult to recommend.

Do you like Transformers? The new movies, the old show, dinobots, or insecticons? You’ll probably like this game. What Fall of Cybertron lacks in new mechanics or exemplar gameplay it makes up with gumption and spark.

Face a greater challenge in the latest version of this hit franchise. Play with friends or the AI, take on new encounters and opponents, and face up to three other players in the Planechase multiplayer format. Featuring ten customizable decks, Magic 2013 offers new game items to unlock and introduces the option to choose what lands to tap when you cast your spells.

Even if the situation is out of your control, your ship never is. Some of your runs might be punishingly unfun, but the tension provides an excitement not unlike gambling: the potential that you’ll strike it big on your next jump.

I do not approve of the PC-specific pricing for the DLC, or the lack of polish porting to PC, but the core game is still as fun as it is on your iPhone. It remains one of my favorite mobile games; and now I can play it side-by-side while typing out this article on my desktop.
