Every game we have scored, from the NES library to current releases.
Stranger of Sword City review: Experience Inc.'s first-person dungeon crawler for Vita, Xbox and PC, where class changes cut levels and traps punish every step.
Star Wars: Republic Commando review — Delta Squad's tactical shooter still works in Aspyr's 2021 remaster, even without multiplayer.
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat was the first console Battlefield with a real campaign — and a numeral added late to fake a link to the PC game.
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon review: Project Aces' divisive 2011 spin-off trades Strangereal for real Earth and adds compulsory Dogfight Mode. Score: 6.6/10.
Civilization V review: Firaxis swaps squares for hexes, bans unit stacking, and adds city-states and five victory paths — a strategy classic that still holds.
Colin McRae: Dirt launched in 2007 with 46 cars, a 60-minute repair clock and a 100-player mode that was really solo hot-lapping.
NHL 12 review: EA Canada made goalies interactive and crushable in the crease, plus physics, Be a Pro and Season Ticket changes. Score: 8.7/10.
How Resident Evil 4's over-the-shoulder camera, laser sight, and Los Ganados enemies rewrote survival horror and set the template for third-person shooters.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss, the 2011 PlayStation Vita launch prequel by Bend Studio, reviewed: story, touch controls, Nolan North, and its 8.1/10 legacy.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 review: a 2007 tactical shooter set on a 72-hour border clock, Crosscom 2.0, and a PC version that plays differently.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive review: nine modes, a punishing economy, ranked matchmaking, and why the console versions never matched the PC original.
A review of Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, the 3DS launch puzzle adventure set in Monte d'Or, with the Masked Gentleman, magnifying glass, and 8.5/10.
