Taking lessons from Assassin’s Creed III, AC4 might be the most rewarding game of the series in terms of gameplay and mechanics. In story and grind, however, not so much.

BioShock Infinite Review: A Gleaming City of Unrealized Potential

BioShock Infinite is a great game you should play. It’s also monotonous, rehashes far too much of its six-year-old predecessor, and begs the question of what could have been.
