tekken 7 review t7 bnea e3 feat

‘Tekken 7’ review

'Tekken 7' offers minor improvements to the series’ mechanics, but its half-baked nature doesn’t offer enough reasons to really get to know it.

gravity rush 2 review gravityrush2 01

‘Gravity Rush 2’ review

'Gravity Rush 2' feels so massive it often threatens to topple under its own weight, but it ultimately stands as tall as the World Pillar that holds its floating cities aloft.

dead rising 4 review 04

‘Dead Rising 4’ review

'Dead Rising 4' offers more raw zombie carnage, but fails to make the rest of the game worth playing.
Michael Rougeau
The Last Guardian review

‘The Last Guardian’ review

'The Last Guardian' is a story about a boy and his dog solving a bunch of really irritating puzzles.

pokmon sun and moon review pokemon 013

‘Pokémon Sun and Moon’ review

Pokémon Sun and Moon may be the best game in the series for competitive trainers and hardcore collectors.
Michael Rougeau
Watch Dogs 2

‘Watch Dogs 2’ Review

Watch Dogs 2 improves its predecessor with a fun tone, great characters, and some creative gameplay, but can’t quite hack it in combat or stealth.
Phil Hornshaw
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

‘Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’ review

The latest Call of Duty goes boldly into space with a fun, insane single-player campaign, but its formula doesn’t hold up in competitive online play.
Phil Hornshaw
Titanfall 2 review

‘Titanfall 2’ review

'Titanfall 2' has refined the original’s best ideas to make a great game that facilitates awesome moments.

Civilization VI review

Civilization VI review

As other series rise and fall, Civilization endures as a PC strategy essential. 25 years on, Civilization VI is a master class in why.

batman arkham vr review feat

‘Batman: Arkham VR’ Review

Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham VR has some neat tricks up its sleeve, but there’s not much of a game beneath its impressive surface.

RIGS: Mechanized Combat League

‘Rigs: Mechanized Combat League’ review

The “virtual reality esport” is a holy grail among game developers. 'Rigs: Mechanized Combat League' may have delivered it.

Paper Mario: Color Splash

‘Paper Mario: Color Splash’ review

Paper Mario: Color Splash is well-crafted and charming, but its simplicity won't win over skeptical fans.

world of warcraft legion leveling guide wow header

‘World of Warcaft: Legion’ review

'World of Warcraft’s last expansion saw the greatest loss of players yet. Luckily, its latest expansion, Legion, restores the series’ brilliance, appealing to newcomers and veterans alike.

destiny rise of iron review featured

‘Destiny: Rise of Iron’ review

The latest expansion to the Destiny universe, 'Rise of Iron', doesn't just expand add more missions and content. It makes the whole game better.

Forza Horizon 3

‘Forza Horizon 3’ review

In Forza Horizon 3, Playground Games has combined all the best ideas in racing titles to make an open-world driving game hyper-focused on fun.
Phil Hornshaw
ReCore

‘ReCore’ review

It’s easy to see there are great ideas that went into 'ReCore', but it’s repetitive gameplay and technical flaws prevent the game from delivering on its promise.
Mike Epstein
NHL 17 Review

‘NHL 17’ review

EA’s NHL gaming franchise skates back onto a cleaner sheet of ice with this season’s effort, winning with a solid mix of deep content and smooth gameplay.
Ted Kritsonis
No Man's Sky

‘No Man’s Sky’ review

After two years of free updates, "No Man's Sky" is finally the game many players expected when it was first released. Though it's a greatly improved version of the open, endlessly explorable galaxy originally promised, "No Man's Sky" remains an experience that can be awe-inspiring or strikingly tedious.
Phil Hornshaw
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided 0001-Alt

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided review

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided intelligently builds on the series' distinctive gameplay, but its story lacks the strong political themes of classic cyberpunk stories, including the original Deus Ex.
Will Fulton
telltale batman diplomat photo the series episode 1 featured

‘Batman: The Telltale Series’ Episode 1 review

‘Batman: The Telltale Series’ elegantly translates the studio’s winning episodic, narrative format to one of their biggest franchises yet: DC’s Batman.
Will Fulton
Headlander

Headlander review

‘Headlander’ is a charming Metroidvania game with a dystopian sci-fi shell that takes the silly premise as far as it will go without getting in over its head.
Will Fulton
song of the deep review game featured

Song of the Deep review

At its core, Song of the Deep is a pleasant if entirely rote game, but remains bedeviled by bugs and small design snags. While technically finished, not a single aspect of this game feels completely thought through.
Mike Epstein
lego star wars the force awakens review featured

Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens review

An appealing mix of fresh gameplay features and Star Wars fan-service, The Force Awakens is more fun than reducing Jar Jar Binks to a pile of toy bricks.
Matt Cabral
inside review game featured

Inside review

‘Limbo’ creator Playdead’s long-anticipated follow-up is another dark and atmospheric puzzle platformer, masterfully done, which will stick with you.
Will Fulton
mighty no 9 demo delayed

Mighty No. 9 review

Hugely anticipated after raising nearly $4 million on Kickstarter, Mega Man spiritual successor Mighty No. 9 doesn’t have much to offer besides nostalgia.
Will Fulton
mirrors edge catalyst review mirror s

‘Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst’ review

'Mirror’s Edge Catalyst' will feel familiar to fans of the 2008 cult classic, but crumbles under the weight of expanded story and a bad open world.
Mike Epstein
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End review

Uncharted 4 is next-gen farewell to one of last generation’s best franchises, but how does it stack up to the games you remember?
Mike Epstein
An Arwing flies through space in Star Fox Zero.

Star Fox Zero review

Star Fox Zero is a return to form for the long-missed series, but is it a Wii U swansong or too little too late?
Will Fulton
Dark Souls III

Dark Souls III review

For those new to the series, Dark Souls III feels deliberately tuned to offer tribulations and triumphs, without sending players packing in frustration.
Phil Hornshaw
Quantum Break

Quantum Break review

Despite its ambitious premise, Quantum Break could not figure out how to juggle game and TV narratives and deliver on the promise of a new form of dual-media storytelling.
Mike Epstein
The Division

Tom Clancy’s The Division Review

The Division dumps stat-building MMO elements into a tactical shooter, but doesn’t press “blend” long enough for this shooter smoothie to taste good.
Phil Hornshaw
hitman intro pack review 591cdce681db898b70df5f225865afd6 1920 kr

‘Hitman: Season One’ review

Agent 47 finds his stride in the series' episodic reboot.
Mike Epstein
Halo 5 Guardians

Halo 5: Guardians review

Halo 5: Guardians brings some excellent new multiplayer offerings, but its weak campaign, dull plot and co-op-heavy design make it frustrating to play alone.
Phil Hornshaw
OptiShot2

OptiShot 2 Golf Simulator review

The Optishot 2 touts itself as a leader for in-home golfing at a budget price. But does the device live up its billing as an accurate golf simulator?

Giovanni Colantonio
Giovanni Colantonio
Senior Gaming Editor

As Digital Trends’ Senior Gaming Editor, Giovanni Colantonio oversees all things video games at Digital Trends. As a veteran of the industry who first began writing about games professionally as a teenager, Giovanni brings a wealth of knowledge and historical context to Digital Trends’ gaming coverage. He brings that expertise to everything he writes, from interview features to reviews. His specialty is criticism and he’s committed to raising the bar for video game reviews. Just read his ambitious UFO 50 review as proof!

Giovanni majored in Film and Photography at Ithaca College, and that skill set had intersected with his games writing through his career. He previously worked as a Segment Producer on Polygon’s daily gaming show, Speedrun, and has contributed video content for sites like Prima Games and Hard Drive. He’s always willing to experiment with new media, whether that be via podcasts or creating videos for Digital Trends’ YouTube channel. He has previously written for Inverse, Fanbyte, The Inventory, and more. He began working with Digital Trends in 2019 as a Destiny 2 guides contributor before moving into his current role as Senior Editor.

His love of gaming dates back decades. Giovanni grew up in Massachusetts with his mother’s hand-me-down Atari 2600. He was hooked from that point on, spending his childhood obsessively playing Sega Genesis or Super Smash Bros. Melee with his friends. He carried that passion into college, where he hosted and produced Ithaca College’s own studio format video game news show. Since then, he has been committed to giving back to the video game industry that raised him by providing honest criticism, sharp analysis, and thorough coverage.

Giovanni is currently based in Brooklyn, New York where he works alongside his cat, Mirah. On weekends, you can find him birdwatching in local parks or watching professional wrestling, his second love behind gaming.
