-
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Review
- X360
Kane and Lynch's trek through Shanghai's underworld is astoundingly brief, leaving you just enough time to get a feel for the game's great visual style, but not much else. Also, we experienced a fairly crippling technical issue while testing the Xbox 360 version.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Review
- PS3
Kane and Lynch's trek through Shanghai's underworld is astoundingly brief, leaving you just enough time to get a feel for the game's great visual style, but not much else.

Madden NFL 11 Review

Stark, gruesome, and gorgeous, this indie puzzle platformer will stick in your mind long after you've seen it to the end.
-
Deadliest Warrior: The Game Review
- XBGS
Quick, bloody death makes Deadliest Warrior kind of charming, but its "first mistake loses" mentality wears thin fast.
-

Infinite Interactive takes it back to basics in just the right way with this sequel.

EA and Stainless Games went ahead and made Risk completely crazy, and Risk: Factions is ultimately better for it.

- PC

War For Cybertron might be the best Transformers game ever made... but that isn't exactly a high bar to best.

This hard-hitting attempt at a Madden alternative is hardest hit by its own inept gameplay.
-

Split/Second Review
- PS3
- X360
Split/Second's high-gloss mayhem is best-in-class, though it peaks early, and the chaos can overwhelm the actual racing.

An oddly reverent homage to the original Legend of Zelda, 3D Dot Game Heroes is enthusiastically nostalgic fun with a unique graphical twist.

Everything about this nice-looking, mostly online shooter is cumbersome and unpleasant to deal with in one way or another.
-
Skate 3 Review
