Sifting through user-created LittleBigPlanet levels and seeing the wonderful and weird things that people are making is a great way to spend an afternoon, a week, a month...

The game is much greater than the sum of its familiar parts. It's also one of the best shooters so far this year.
-
Age of Booty Review
- XBGS
Age of Booty's multiplayer is great fun that keeps you coming back, but you'll need a solid crew who wants to work together if you want to dominate the opposition.

While it feels more like fond memories than the near future, Wipeout HD still delivers plenty of high-speed, techno-laced thrills.
-

-
Mario Super Sluggers Review
- Wii

-
Samurai Shodown II Review
- XBGS
Even though the 360's lackluster D-pad does its best to hold it back, Samurai Shodown II still shines on Xbox Live Arcade.

Strong Bad goes all Che Guevara in Episode 2, with amusing results.
-
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Review
- PS3

The Force Unleashed comes with a lengthy list of caveats, but if you can suffer through some occasionally frustrating control and difficulty issues, the underlying game is a good one.

Spore spreads itself a little thin, but the epoch-spanning gameplay and communal creature creation culminate in a one-of-a-kind experience.
-

The awesome destructive potential of Mercs 2 is hamstrung by a litany of technical shortcomings and clunky design.

The Last Guy is an interesting game, but there's not enough to it to make it a good game.

Technical hiccups can't keep The Behemoth from sieging my heart!
-
Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty Review
- PS3N
Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty is a decent diversion for the price, but will make you long for the next full installment in the series.
-
Galaga Legions Review

Galaga Legions isn't a great Galaga sequel, but it's a decent space shooter with some interesting ideas.
-
Space Siege Review
- PC
This click-happy sci-fi dungeon crawler is neither aggressively bad nor especially remarkable. In other words, it's OK.
-
1942: Joint Strike Review
- XBGS

-
Unreal Tournament 3 Review
- X360
Unreal Tournament 3 is a competent Xbox 360 shooter that can be exciting and very fast-paced, but it occasionally feels like some kind of creepy history lesson on the way games used to be.
