Watchmen: The End is Nigh Review
- XBGS
Watchmen: The End is Nigh looks great, but the co-op elements are poorly thought-out, and the simplistic action gets old well before this brief, bloody brawler is over.
-
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X Review
- X360
Tom Clancy's HAWX changes up the flight combat formula in a couple of interesting ways, but at its core it's a little too basic to hold your attention.

Dawn of War II successfully introduces RPG elements to its single-player campaign and provides a polished, if familiar, online experience that focuses on brisk combat.
-

Ensemble's new Xbox 360 strategy game is heavy on the Halo mythos but occasionally stumbles over its limited control scheme.
-

-
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand Review
- X360

There are moments of questionable quality sprinkled throughout 50 Cent's latest video game adventure, but if you're looking for something silly and totally over-the-top, Blood on the Sand is actually kind of hilarious.

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection Review
- X360
- PS3
For what Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection lacks in quality, it at least partially makes up for by its sheer quantity of emulated games.
-
Retro Game Challenge Review
- DS
Retro Game Challenge has some awesome concepts behind it, but it gets painfully repetitive in spots, which throws a wet blanket on an otherwise-charming game.
-
Ninjatown Review
- DS
Equally long on endearing personality and challenging strategy, this stylus-driven tower defense game makes a great travel companion in bite-size chunks.
-
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Review
- X360
It's less tactical than its forebear, but Monolith delivers a tightly paced and atmospheric ride with F.E.A.R. 2.

Extravagant production and abusive arcade shooting action combine to nice effect in this Live Arcade remake.

Afro Samurai Review
- X360

Afro Samurai's exciting and graphic combat is its strongest suit, but that fighting is bogged down by enough issues that make it tough to recommend.
-
The Maw Review

The Maw is a brief, yet engrossing, journey that leans more on its charm than its gameplay.
-
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Review

Frustrating combat and a half-hearted approach to the source material drag down EA's latest Rings game.
-
Skate 2 Review

If this is your first Lumines game, you'll probably enjoy it. But as the latest in a long line of rudimentary updates, it gets old quick.
-
Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos Review

Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos is a way more exciting and evocative title than this boring photo-hunt game deserves.
-
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness - Episode Two Review
- XBGS

Crash Commando takes the conventions of the modern first-person shooter and puts them into a side-scrolling game, resulting in a fast-moving shooter that successfully merges old and new.
-
Animal Crossing: City Folk Review

Animal Crossing: City Folk is a quality product, for sure, but it's also largely the same quality product that has already appeared on the DS and GameCube.
-
Meteos Wars Review
- XBGS
Meteos Wars has all the pieces it needs to be a great puzzle game, but with no online competition, it's all kind of pointless.
-
PowerUp Forever Review

Despite an actual inability to power-up forever, PowerUp Forever is a good, fun dual-joystick shooter.
-
Lips Review
- X360
It's too easy to cheat around Lips' poor vocal- and pitch-detecting technology, but if you're willing to look past that, Lips is a satisfying home karaoke game.
-
Prince of Persia Review
- X360
Stunning presentation and an engaging open-world reprisal of the series' trademark platforming action make this newly reimagined Prince of Persia easy to recommend.
-
WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2009 Review
- X360
- PS3
SmackDown! vs. RAW 2009 has a lengthy list of features and modes, but none of them truly capture the excitement of watching WWE on television.
