PS3, X360- Dragon's Dogma
- Review
- Capcom has delivered an open-world game with tremendously fun combat, a hilariously crazy ending, and not much else.
PS3, X360, PC- Game of Thrones
- Review
- There is probably a great role-playing game to be made out of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, but Game of Thrones isn't it.
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.

It's not technically inferior, but Galactrix just doesn't excite in the same way as Puzzle Quest did.

Take to the depths of space in this Sci-Fi spiritual sequel to Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords.
Overview
As Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords uses a Bejeweled-based puzzle, Galactrix uses a mix between Hexic and Bejeweled to battle foes.Gameplay

- Blue - Space Ship's Shields

- Silver - Intel
Each fighter has a shield and a health bar, the shield must be depleted before health can be damaged. The shield can then be restored by matching Blue tiles. Damage is caused by matching up numbered attack tiles called mines that replace the skull tiles of Challenge of the Warlords. When matched, the amount of damage done is equal to the sum of all the numbered attack tiles.
