Cubikolor
|
Cubikolor is a delightful puzzler from Moving Player and Fractal Box. Taking a cube with different colors on each side, players traverse levels using color schemes to finish each puzzle. The title takes the good ol Rubik’s Cube to a whole different level.

Sheltered
|
All in all it’s a solid game for anyone who’s a fan of survival simulation games and is a great pick up. It’s easy and doesn’t require a whole lot attention if you’re just looking to play a game to take your mind away. By Lee Marcussen |

HITMAN Episode 1
|
Hitman really provides a solid stealth game that has many expanding opportunities for different gameplay styles. All the different methods of assassinating the targets makes it so much more enjoyable.

Layers of Fear
|
I really enjoyed my time with Layers of Fear. It was creepy and cool, and overall just hit everything I want in a horror setting. The conclusion of the game was awesome, albeit a little brief, but had one of those great “whoa” moments that makes you consider everything you just did.

Screencheat
|
Screencheat is an awesome concept without a doubt. Fun, quick sessions with friends are incredibly entertaining. The game is admittedly not for everyone. While the concept is simple in thought, actually getting used to it is a task that not all will be able to be willing to try.

Tiny Troopers Joint Ops
|
All together Tiny Troopers is a fun, quick arcade game. I’ll say the game play is nice and easy to get ahold of, someone of any age could pick this up and have fun. It would have been cool to have some sort of co-op but that’s really my only complaint on it.

Rocket League
|
Rocket League is phenomenal. It’s fair and balanced, with a formula that needs to be respected and mirrored by future games. Backed by an extremely cool original soundtrack, near-perfect gameplay, Unreal Engine 4, and a rock-solid formula, Rocket League deserves all the high praise it gets.

Brunswick Pro Bowling
|
Brunswick Pro Bowling on the Xbox One is not the bowling simulation that this generation of gaming needs. It’s quite the opposite actually, and comes across as a cash grab with the Brunswick name slapped on it. The mechanics are poor, its offerings shallow, and as a whole leaves much to be desired.

Level 22 Gary's Misadventures
|
Level22 provides a great casual experience that doesn’t overstay its welcome and is fun throughout. Its equal parts Metal Gear Solid and Hotline Miami (sans the violence) and I really couldn’t ask for much more out of it.

The Legend of Korra
|
Picking up this game on whim during one of Xbox Live’s weekly sales, I found myself quite surprised with how solid the title actually is. Needless to say it is not groundbreaking, but what I found in the title was a testament to my gaming filled childhood.

Just Cause 3
|
Just Cause 3 gives you everything you would expect from the series, but really nothing more. The most impressive change to the formula is the addition of a wing-suit. Other than that nifty way to traverse the 400 sq. miles of map, it is all too familiar of its predecessor.

Jackbox Party
|
Jackbox Party Pack 2 epitomizes modern day game nights. Its got variety, hilarity, and is a great group experience packed with fun. At $25 ($5 a game), you are getting a phenomenal deal.

Guitar Hero Live
|
I absolutely love the fresh take on the game. Not only has the presentation changed completely, but the redesigned guitar makes even longtime Guitar Hero fans like myself have a whole new learning curve that feels more attuned to that of a real guitar than ever before.

mAD mAX thE gAME
|
As a movie property, this game succeeded in becoming its own entity and not letting the shadow of the title hinder its success. While not breaking barriers, Mad Max The Game is an enjoyable open world experience that many will find fun in their own way.

Battle Islands
|
The way Battle Island starts out you have One Island where you must go through a really long tutorial that could explain to a 3-year-old how to play the game. You must construct the typical base starting stuff like command posts, barracks, and factory for supplies (the usual flare).

Super Toy Cars
|
Super Toy Cars is the latest game from Developer Eclipse Games. Having finally made its way to Xbox One after being released on Steam and WiiU, I got some hands on time with the quirky combat racer. At its core, Super Toy Cars (or STC as I will refer to it) is reminiscent of old school games of the same nature like...

OCTODAD: DADLIEST CATCH
|
The game takes you through a day in the life of Octodad, opening first with his marriage to start things off. We come to find out that he has been very secretive in his relationship, and is quick to avoid his deep sea past. His wife and two kids love him for him however, and suspect nothing.

Toy Soldiers War Chest
|
Toy Soldiers War Chest is the third entry in the series that pits plastic armies against each other. We went head to head to find out if we would love it as much as we have past entries.

Submerged
|
Armed with a boat, map, and telescope, players take control of Miku on an explorative adventure to save her brother’s life. This is the beginning of a game that has showcased the term “relaxploration”, which is more than fitting. By Edwin Velez

bATMAN aRKHAM kNIGHT
|
The Batman: Arkham series that started back in 2009 with Asylum has since become an icon in the industry. It changed the way consumers and developers look at ways to use comic book properties in video games. The series has always been immersive, passionate, and of the highest of quality. By Edwin Velez

Quiplash
|
There are very few issues with a smart party game such as this. Although sometimes it can be a battle of who can use dirty words the most, more often than not it is a laugh fest that is easily accessible for everyone.

Battlefield Hardline
|
This game seemed like something that could have been a sleeper hit. Unfortunately though, the final product feels more like a
second rate episode of CSI: Miami.

Farming Simulator 15
|
I've always been a simulator fan and I was worried on how this one would play out on consoles. Turns out it's a great game and very involved. By Lee Marcussen
|
Dragon Ball Xenoverse
|
After playing this wonderful entry, I am all the more a reignited fan of one of my favorite things to come out of my childhood. In a huge surprise not only to myself but to many other gamers, it is probably the most original and well put together game in the franchise's long spanning history. By Edwin Velez
