Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Review
- X360
Even if you are a hardcore Aerosmith fan, this game's short and spotty track list makes it hard to recommend.
-
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution Review
- X360
- PS3
It's not a seamless transition, but Civilization Revolution is a mostly successful effort to bring Sid Meier's celebrated strategy series to consoles.
-
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 Review
- XBGS
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 adds new modes and elements that make it significantly better than both its predecessor and the scads of dual-joystick shooters that were released in its wake.
-
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit Review
- X360
- PS3
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is by far and away the best looking Dragon Ball Z game available today. Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't match the visuals in terms of recreating the action and appeal of the source material.
-
Soulcalibur Review
- XBGS
Soul Calibur gets the fighting right, but without online play or the single-player mission mode that made it fun to play alone, this XBLA re-release is a flimsy package.
-
Battlefield: Bad Company Review
- X360
Bad Company's pro-explosion agenda makes its solo and multiplayer components markedly better than they would be otherwise.
-
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures Review
- PS3
- X360
Lego Indy is an endearing romp through the classic swashbuckling films, but the Lego gameplay's rough edges are starting to show.
-
Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy Review
- X360
- PS3
Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy is a flashy action game that's sabotaged by a brief runtime and a lack of depth.
-
Wii Fit Review
- Wii
Wii Fit's simple workouts run out of charm pretty quickly, but for some, the subtle nudge to get on a better workout plan will be worth the price of admission.
-
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Review
- PS3
Metal Gear Solid 4 is a fitting coda to the series and the single best reason to own a PS3 so far.
-
Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 Review
- XBGS
- PS3N
Commando 3 makes a pretty good first impression, but the rest of the game doesn't offer enough excitement to carry you through to the end.
-
SNK Arcade Classics V.1 Review
- PSP
- PS2
It's hard to consider some of these early Neo Geo releases as "classics," but at least there's a good variety of game styles in SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1.
-
SingStar Review
- PS3
Adding an online video repository and an online store full of songs takes SingStar to exciting new heights.
-
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness - Episode One Review
- XBGS
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is as entertaining as its title is long.
-
Rocky & Bullwinkle Review
- XBGS
While there's probably a good way to fit the world of Rocky & Bullwinkle into a WarioWare clone, this game doesn't pull it off.
-
Haze Review
- PS3
Haze ticks most of the boxes on the "things a first-person shooter should have" form, but doesn't do so in a particularly interesting way.
-
Defend Your Castle Review
- WSHP
Defend Your Castle's charming visuals and low price tag help compensate for some simple gameplay.
-
Boom Blox Review
- Wii
You might not enjoy every single game type that Boom Blox offers, but most of them are a lot of fun, especially if you're playing with friends.
-
Target: Terror Review
- Wii
Target: Terror looks like it was a lot of fun to make, but that doesn't mean it was a lot of fun to play.
-
Mario Kart Wii Review
- Wii
Mario Kart Wii lives up to series expectations in the safest ways imaginable.
-
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Review
- PS3N
- PS3
It provides a promising glimpse into the future of Gran Turismo, but the content doesn't justify the $39.99 price tag.
-
Grand Theft Auto IV Review
- X360
- PS3
Niko Bellic is one of the most human protagonists to ever appear in a video game, and his trials and tribulations make GTA IV absolutely unforgettable.
-
NBA Ballers: Chosen One Review
- X360
- PS3
NBA Ballers: Chosen One looks flashy at first glance, but you never really feel like you're doing much more than triggering a series of animations.
-
Dark Sector Review
- X360
- PS3
Dark Sector's got great-looking character models, but the slow and repetitive gameplay really holds it all back.
-
Ikaruga Review
- XBGS
If you have a deep love for classic shooters, you should play Ikaruga.
-
Mr. Driller Online Review
- XBGS
Show-stopping bugs and a general lack of content leave Mr. Driller Online gasping for air.
-
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds Review
- PS3
It handles like an antique, and it's a little bit light on content, but solid online and an easy charm help keep Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds entertaining.
-
Viking: Battle for Asgard Review
- PS3
- X360
Viking's got good ideas, but you'll see most of them in the first third of the story.
-
TiQal Review
- XBGS
TiQal has its moments, but there are just too many other, better puzzle games on Xbox Live Arcade.
-
Condemned 2: Bloodshot Review
- X360
- PS3
Condemned 2: Bloodshot is the video-game equivalent of blunt-force trauma.
-
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Review
- X360
- PS3
Vegas 2 doesn't make huge changes to what you saw in the previous game, and the story can be hard to follow, but the action is as explosive as ever.
-
Bully: Scholarship Edition Review
- X360
Even a bundle of technical issues can't stop Bully: Scholarship Edition from letting you have a great time running amok on the Xbox 360
-
Rocketmen: Axis of Evil Review
- XBGS
- PS3N
Rocketmen: Axis of Evil's co-op gives it potential, but the game doesn't move fast enough to deliver any lasting excitement.
-
Army of Two Review
- PS3
- X360
If you're desperate for co-op play, Army of Two will satisfy. But the action is a bit too repetitive to keep you excited for a substantial length of time.
-
Super Smash Bros. Brawl Review
- Wii
Smash Bros. Brawl is probably at its best when enjoyed by a group of four friends, but solo players with an eye for Nintendo nostalgia aren't totally left out.
-
Professor Layton and the Curious Village Review
- DS
Professor Layton and the Curious Village is an outstanding mix of charm and logic that's likely to make a pretty deep impression on you.
-
Burnout Paradise Review
- PS3
- X360
Burnout Paradise takes some risks with some of the series' most basic concepts, and the end result pays off surprisingly well.
-
Poker Smash Review
- XBGS
Poker Smash's name might fool you into thinking it's all chips, cards, and bluffing. But this puzzle game will take you by surprise with its sharp gameplay.
