Art Style: AQUIA Review
- DSI
Art Style: AQUIA is a good, basic puzzle game with enough of a hook to keep you coming back for more.
-
Master of Illusion Express: Funny Face Review
- DSI
Master of Illusion Express: Funny Face is only two dollars, but it's so incredibly thin that it feels more like a demo than something you should actually have to pay for.
-
Bird & Beans Review
- DSI
Bird & Beans is a great little time-waster that's available at a great little price.
-
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena Review
- X360
Dark Athena joins more content to the brilliant, grim Escape From Butcher Bay, which for the most part has aged quite well.
-
Burn Zombie Burn! Review
- PS3N
This demanding new PlayStation Network shooter offers rewarding score-based action--once you commit to learning its complex, unique mechanics.
-
Rhythm Heaven Review
- DS
Rhythm Heaven's quirky minigames keep you guessing while giving you plenty of things to do and plenty of reasons to keep coming back.
-
UNO Rush Review
- XBLM
Uno Rush is vastly different from its predecessor, replacing cold strategy and slow-paced fun with something much more intense.
-
Resistance: Retribution Review
- PSP
Retribution is a surprisingly good third-person shooter on the PSP, a platform where you don't see a lot of good third-person shooters.
-
Wanted: Weapons of Fate Review
- PS3
- X360
- PC
Wanted: Weapons of Fate is fun while it lasts, but it doesn't last very long and doesn't give you great reasons to play through it a second time.
-
WWE Legends of WrestleMania Review
- PS3
- X360
WWE Legends of Wrestlemania contains some great, nostalgic moments, but the rest of the package is a letdown.
-
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Review
- DS
GTA: Chinatown Wars looks amazing on the DS, and the game retains enough of what Grand Theft Auto fans are looking for to make for a great experience.
-
MadWorld Review
- WII
While the bloody combat in MadWorld makes a terrific first impression, this is a perfect example of a game that puts style over substance.
-
Resident Evil 5 Review
- X360
- PS3
By necessity, Resident Evil 5 makes a smaller impact than its groundbreaking predecessor, but it's still a creepy, fantastic action game in its own right.
-
Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard Review
- PS3
- X360
While the game is conceptually interesting, Matt Hazard's "return" comes up short in just about every way imaginable.
-
Peggle Review
- XBLM
The XBLA version of Peggle is a great way to not do what you were supposed to be doing.
-
Empire: Total War Review
- PC
If you can get past some glaring pathfinding and AI issues, Empire: Total War is a game without peer in the strategy genre.
-
Watchmen: The End is Nigh Review
- XBLM
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.
-
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Review
- PC
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.
-
Halo Wars Review
- X360
Ensemble's new Xbox 360 strategy game is heavy on the Halo mythos but occasionally stumbles over its limited control scheme.
-
Killzone 2 Review
- PS3
Killzone 2 offers terrific class-based multiplayer that will keep you coming back long after the campaign is finished.
-
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand Review
- X360
- PS3
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.
-
Flower Review
- PS3N
The latest PSN release from thatgamecompany is full of incredible floral imagery and a few unexpected twists.
-
R-Type Dimensions Review
- XBLM
Extravagant production and abusive arcade shooting action combine to nice effect in this Live Arcade remake.
-
Afro Samurai Review
- X360
- PS3
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
- XBLM
The Maw is a brief, yet engrossing, journey that leans more on its charm than its gameplay.
-
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Review
- X360
Frustrating combat and a half-hearted approach to the source material drag down EA's latest Rings game.
-
Skate 2 Review
- X360
- PS3
Skate 2 makes a load of interesting changes to the structure of the average skateboarding game and includes enough interesting multiplayer options to keep players going for awhile.
-
The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga Review
- PS2
- PSP
- WII
If you're after some quality 2D fighting, KOF Collection offers that, but the package comes with some caveats that make it a little unappealing.
-
Lumines Supernova Review
- PS3N
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
- XBLM
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
- XBLM
- PC
The foul-mouthed humor remains equally well-spoken and vulgar, though the formula is starting to become apparent with Episode Two.
-
Crash Commando Review
- PS3N
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
- WII
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
- XBLM
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
- XBLM
Despite an actual inability to power-up forever, PowerUp Forever is a good, fun dual-joystick shooter.
