“Treyarch has crafted something special: a sprawling, ambitious, and endlessly replayable shooter that caters to nearly every corner of the Call of Duty fandom. It’s not flawless, and some may scoff at the lack of innovation, but it stands as a staggering achievement in both scale and ambition. Massive and occasionally messy, it’s nonetheless a thrilling ride. Black Ops 7 delivers everything fans could hope for and then some.”

“Unfortunately, persistent bugs, inconsistent commentary, glitchy menus, and occasional game logic flaws keep it from reaching true greatness.”

“Madden NFL 24 continues EA Sports’ legacy of making smaller more incremental yearly changes to its beloved franchise. While there doesn’t seem much in the way of “new” this time around and Ultimate Team suffers from some awful UI performance issues, the gameplay is silky smooth and all the fan-favorite modes return with notable improvements. If you’ve been away from the franchise for a few years, you’ll like what you see here, but for those hardcore folks who eat and breathe a steady diet of Madden, is this really that much better than NFL 23?”

“NHL 19 is as solid as it gets yet I cannot help but wonder what could have been done with more resources.”

“There is no question the most noticeable eye popping difference with these maps is the enhanced visuals.”

“Salvation is loaded with 4 well thought-out maps that take you from a re-imagined western style map from Black Ops 2 to a map that makes you feel like a shrunken character from the movie “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”.”

“Out of all the new multiplayer maps, “Empire” is truly the stand-out. This re-imagined map from Black Ops 2 looks fantastic..”

“As far as the sound is concerned, the game is spot on. Those chiptunes are catchy and work perfectly with the game.”

“As a zombie map it works, but like I suggested it never really resonated with me. Maybe it will for you.”

“Sony's undisputed king of virtual baseball games suffered a slight set-back last year but the franchise is back in fine form in 2016.”

“Having to re-start the game after every death can be absolutely soul crushing but the satisfaction you get from winning an exhausting battle against an enemy Ironcast is remarkably satisfying.”

“Visually, Ori and The Blind Forest scores high marks. The level design is beautiful as the colours pop from the screen and art design is equally fantastic.”

“With so many skins, strong cast of characters (classic and new), stunning visuals, variety of modes and lively online community, Mortal Kombat XL delivers the ultimate Mortal Kombat game for fans to enjoy.”

“As for the gameplay, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 delivers and is much richer experience than I expected.”

“I used to consider the zombies mode an afterthought. Something I'd tackle when I am bored or just tired of getting slaughtered online. Now; however, it is almost my immediate go to mode.”

“It also made me realize Gemini: Heroes Reborn offers up a layer of strategy and depth I never expected to get.”

“The Summit will have you doing drift races, drags races, and doing stunts with monster trucks. The monster trucks are an absolute riot.”

“With over 100 bikes included in the game ranging from classic to pro-circuit bikes RIDE does an excellent job delivering an authentic motorbike experience.”

“The franchise is still on the comeback trail and may not overtake 2K's juggernaut for a couple more years but the gains this year are significant and the franchise is clearly trending upwards”

“The atmosphere in Zombi is fantastic. It is dark, creepy and the visibility in the game adds to the tension. - See more at: http://canadianonlinegamers.com/review/zombi-review/#sthash.BSx9s4cG.dpuf”
