MAC, PC- Diablo III
- Review
- The first Diablo game in over a decade is also one of the most insidiously satisfying loot treadmills in almost as long.
PS3N, PS3, X360, PC- Prototype 2
- Review
- Prototype 2 gives you some interesting abilities that can be fun to use, but it doesn't give you enough good opportunities to cut loose with all that power.
PS3, X360, PC- Max Payne 3
- Review
- Rockstar Games modernizes and makes Max Payne its own, creating something grittier and more grounded in reality, if not quite as singular.

Developed by Next Level Games for Nintendo, Mario Strikers Charged is a soccer game involving classic Nintendo characters released for the Wii.
Mario Strikers Charged (known as Mario Strikers: Charged Football in PAL territories) is the second game in the Mario Strikers series. Charged pits classic Nintendo characters such as Mario, Princess Peach, and Diddy Kong against each other in exaggerated, fast-paced soccer matches.
Gameplay
Generally, two teams each of five characters fight for control of a soccer ball, which can be passed between characters freely as they progress down the field toward the goal. As the ball is passed around the field the ball increases in temperature, and glows brighter. The hotter it is, the greater the chance the player has of scoring when shooting.
Occasionally, when specific conditions are met (e.g. when a character takes a powerful shot at the net), that players team is awarded an item. These have a variety of different effects, such as granting temporary speed boosts, disabling the other team's characters, and so on. All characters in the game can perform special shots, the power of which is determined by the character's status on the team. Captains shoot Mega Strikes, which are very powerful super moves, difficult to defend against, and very fast. Sidekicks perform Skillshots, which have the ability to disable or bypass the goalie.
Characters
Characters are split into two categories, Captains and Sidekicks. The player can have only one captain on a team, who is more powerful and can perform a mega strike. Three Sidekicks accompany the captain, who are less powerful. There are 12 captains (3 of which need to be unlocked) to choose from and 8 Sidekicks.

Stadiums
The games features 17 stadiums. There are ten new stadiums, which are referred to as Arenas, each features unique elements that effect the gameplay (for example on The Sand Tomb thwomps will come down onto the field flattening any characters in their way). Three of these have to be unlocked. Also all seven of the arena's from the original Super Mario Strikers, which are referred to as The Classics, and are more basic compared to the newer arena's.Arenas
