inFamous: Festival of Blood Review
- PS3N
A few valuable gameplay additions and thick Halloween atmosphere make Festival of Blood easy to bite on for its modest price.
-
Battlefield 3 Review
- PC
- PS3
A short, derivative campaign does little to get in the way of the best version of multiplayer Battlefield yet.
-
The House of the Dead: OVERKILL Review
- PS3
Snappy support for the PlayStation Move makes it easier to appreciate the loving grindhouse aesthetics stitched over this otherwise familiar light-gun shooter.
-
Dance Central 2 Review
- X360
Harmonix makes its original standard-setting dancing game all but obsolete with a little more structure, a few new features, and a fresh playlist of danceable new songs.
-
Just Dance 3 Review
- X360
A terrific, varied soundtrack, plus some conceptually interesting new community features get marginalized by gameplay that is demanding and indifferent in equal measure.
-
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Review
- PS3
Nathan Drake's new adventure doesn't rewrite the book like his last one did, but damn if it's not a great action game anyway.
-
Payday: The Heist Review
- PS3N
Bank heists meet Left 4 Dead in this sometimes exciting shooter.
-
Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One Review
- PS3
Ratchet & Clank with multiplayer is strange, crazy, and mostly fun...but might not be for you.
-
TrackMania² Canyon Review
- PC
TrackMania 2: Canyon is a weird, wonderful driving game, but everything surrounding the game itself feels like it's actively trying to discourage you from playing at all.
-
NBA 2K12 Review
- X360
2K's latest hoops simulator isn't without issue, but those few problems barely register compared with the sheer volume of incredible content contained within this package.
-
Batman: Arkham City Review
- X360
Gaming's greatest melee combat system gets even better with a few key improvements, while the rest of Arkham City gives the existing Batman formula some extra size and scope to keep things interesting.
-
Spider-Man: Edge of Time Review
- X360
Save for some occasionally witty banter, this generally generic brawler is too concerned with the window-dressing of time-travel to capitalize on Spider-Man’s character, abilities, or mythology.
-
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record Review
- PS3
- X360
- PC
In some important ways, Off the Record is the best Dead Rising yet. It's just a shame you've probably seen most of it before.
-
Forza Motorsport 4 Review
- X360
Forza Motorsport 4 is a fantastic driving game, but the improvements over Forza 3 feel pretty incremental.
-
Rage Review
- X360
- PC
- PS3
Rage won't set new standards for game design, but if you want to drive and shoot in an incredible-looking wasteland, this is your game.
-
X-Men: Destiny Review
- X360
As mediocre as it is half-finished, X-Men: Destiny’s rare glimpses of something better make it all the more disappointing.
-
Bit.Trip Saga Review
- 3DS
A collection of truly great games unfortunately marred by frame-rate-breaking 3D.
-
Burnout CRASH! Review
- PS3N
- XBGS
Pure vehicular mayhem should be a lot more fun than it is in Burnout Crash.
-
NHL 12 Review
- PS3
- X360
The fundamentals of hockey are polished to a glistening sheen in this tightly focused, if not particularly revolutionary sequel.
-
Renegade Ops Review
- XBGS
- PS3N
Top-down vehicle shooting hasn't been this much fun in ages.
-
Star Fox 64 3D Review
- 3DS
Star Fox 64 3D is too short and feature-deprived at $40 to satisfy newcomers while missing some of the nostalgic hooks that made its predecessor beloved.
-
Gears of War 3 Review
- X360
Gears of War 3 is a fantastic follow-up that answers important questions about the nature of the Gears universe while backing it all up with an even bigger, better multiplayer suite.
-
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Review
- X360
- PC
Space Marine's balance between melee and ranged combat separates this savage and brutal game from so many other copycat shooters.
-
The Gunstringer Review
- X360
Twisted Pixel’s plucky, “let’s put on a show!” can-do attitude has never been as prominent as it is in The Gunstringer.
-
Dead Island Review
- PC
- X360
- PS3
Technical blemishes aside, you might be surprised how well loot-driven open-world questing and a tropical zombie apocalypse go together.
-
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Review
- PS3
Space Marine's brutal single player works just fine on the PS3, but the online matchmaking is so busted that it's clearly the weakest of the three platforms.
-
Rock of Ages Review
- PC
- XBGS
- PS3N
Rock of Ages is as belligerently weird a game as you're ever likely to play, but by all means, you absolutely should play it.
-
Driver: San Francisco Review
- X360
- PS3
Driver: San Francisco takes the series in a supernatural direction with surprisingly exciting results.
-
Resistance 3 Review
- PS3
Insomniac does a terrific job of making you forget about Resistance 2 with a sad, beautiful journey through the apocalypse.
-
Bodycount Review
- X360
- PS3
Bodycount has a few solid ideas buried underneath layers and layers of boring gameplay.
-
Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection Review
- PS3N
- XBGS
The hallowed original trilogy of Mortal Kombat games deserves better than a bare-bones, barely functional compilation.
-
Madden NFL 12 Review
- X360
Madden NFL 12 finds the series in a state of regression, offering up minimal improvements to an increasingly passionless package.
-
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Review
- XBGS
Even if you completely disregarded Street Fighter III upon its initial release, Third Strike Online Edition is still worth checking out.
-
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review
- PC
- PS3
- X360
The world of Deus Ex: Human Revolution is absolutely worth seeing, and that trumps any of the little issues that pop up along the way.
-
Toy Soldiers: Cold War Review
- XBGS
Diversified, action-oriented tower defense combines with thick, thick '80s nostalgia to produce a worthy Toy Soldiers sequel.
-
Fruit Ninja Kinect Review
- XBGS
From your fingertip to all four limbs, Fruit Ninja Kinect offers simple, satisfying, smoothie-making fun that capitalizes on Kinect’s strengths.
-
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet Review
- XBGS
It's not the most demanding game, but this stylized marriage of 2D adventuring and unique visual art makes for an entertaining ride for as long as it lasts.
-
Yakuza 4 Review
- PS3
Yakuza 4 is a proudly traditional Japanese release, but the game doesn't always emphasize its best attributes.
-
Catherine Review
- X360
- PS3
You won't find another game on the market that's quite like Catherine, but it fumbles too frequently to work.
-
From Dust Review
- XBGS
This robust downloadable reminds you why it's so much fun to play video-game god.
