I Am Alive Review
- XBGS
I Am Alive starts with an exciting premise, but it's hard to imagine a wider gulf between the promise of its ideas and the reality of its execution.
-
Journey Review
- PS3N
Journey stands as a prime example of the truly remarkable things that can be done via this medium.
-
Mass Effect 3 Review
- X360
- PS3
It's not the best game in the trilogy, but I'd still take a decent Mass Effect game over most story-driven releases.
-
SSX Review
- X360
- PS3
SSX is an intriguing mix of old and new that doesn't always pan out, but the absurdist snowboarding gameplay remains as thrilling as ever.
-
Asura's Wrath Review
- X360
You may not be the kind of person who should play Asura's Wrath at all, but if you are, you're in for one hell of a weird ride.
-
Grand Slam Tennis 2 Review
- X360
- PS3
EA Sports’ first earnest shot at tennis is competent, familiar, and wholly inessential.
-
Alan Wake's American Nightmare Review
- XBGS
Alan Wake's downloadable debut features a neat story with a clever twist, but one that sadly outstays its welcome.
-
Rhythm Heaven Fever Review
- Wii
Rhythm Heaven Fever's catchy tunes and surprisingly varied two-button gameplay combine into an experience that's as wonderfully silly as it is frequently challenging.
-
Touch My Katamari Review
- VITA
Touch My Katamari offers up one distinctly cool new idea for the series while more or less surrounding that idea with the same stuff we've already played to death.
-
Syndicate Review
- X360
- PS3
Syndicate gives you a great set of tools that make shooting at the world around you a lot of fun whether you're playing alone or with a team.
-
Escape Plan Review
- PSNV
Escape Plan never quite breaks out beyond its initial level of promise, but such as it is, it's a decent little puzzler for an OK price.
-
Warp Review
- XBGS
Warp offers an endearing premise and unique puzzle-solving, but it's held back by some basic mechanical issues.
-
Lumines: Electronic Symphony Review
- VITA
Electronic Symphony brings a host of great music and beautiful skin designs to the time-tested Lumines formula.
-
Wipeout 2048 Review
- VITA
The pieces of a tremendous Wipeout game are present in 2048, but it's hard to look past the game's annoying interface, wicked-long load screens, and underwhelming sense of speed.
-
Rayman: Origins Review
- VITA
The Vita version of Rayman: Origins may lack a few of the mechanical touches of its console brethren, but in terms of sheer beauty and fun, little is lost in translation.
-
Super Stardust Delta Review
- PSNV
Super Stardust Delta delivers frantic action and flashy effects at a nice, downloadable price.
-
Uncharted: Golden Abyss Review
- VITA
Uncharted: Golden Abyss feels like a made-for-cable version of a proper, big-screen Uncharted adventure.
-
Gotham City Impostors Review
- XBGS
- PC
- PS3N
The framework of Monolith's new multiplayer shooter might not be wildly original, but its nonsensical humor sure is.
-
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Review
- X360
- PS3
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning creates an interesting world and gives you good combat options, but the whole thing overstays its welcome a bit.
-
The Darkness II Review
- X360
Digital Extremes ably picks up where Starbreeze left off, crafting a satisfyingly brutal adventure that only rarely loses its way.
-
Resident Evil: Revelations Review
- 3DS
Viewed as a handheld game, Revelations is impressive enough, but in the long history of the Resident Evil series, it's just average.
-
NeverDead Review
- X360
NeverDead's one-note dismemberment gimmick wears out its welcome long before you reach the game's miserable conclusion.
-
Saints Row: The Third Review
- X360
Genkibowl VII is a bad deal on its own and a very disappointing update for Saints Row season pass holders.
-
All Zombies Must Die! Review
- PS3N
- XBGS
Crafting irradiated shotguns to better dispatch the undead is a great idea, but clunky combat and a lack of mission variety keep this downloadable shooter from realizing its potential.
-
Trine 2 Review
- PC
- XBGS
Trine 2 might be one of the prettiest games ever made, and it makes some small but important additions to its predecessor's formula, too.
-
Blackwater Review
- X360
This game is practically a war crime.
-
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Review
- Wii
- PS3
- 3DS
Skylanders is probably aimed at kids, but whatever. I am a legal adult who can drink, buy pornography, rent a car, and vote... and I think it's still pretty cool.
-
To the Moon Review
- PC
The interactive elements of To the Moon exist solely in service of pushing you through its story, but it's a story very much worth pushing through.
-
Mario Kart 7 Review
- 3DS
Confident execution of a familiar formula makes for a fun multiplayer experience, when the circumstances are right.
-
WWE '12 Review
- X360
Though it's miles from perfect, WWE '12 represents the biggest step forward THQ's wrestling franchise has made in years.
-
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Review
- X360
It's easy enough to look past the original Halo's more dated qualities given Anniversary's tasteful visual refresh and a combat formula that's still plenty exciting.
-
Need for Speed: The Run Review
- X360
- PS3
The Run starts with an incredible idea for a racing game, but everything surrounding this year's Need for Speed feels like a cross-country calamity.
-
Assassin's Creed: Revelations Review
- X360
The laws of diminishing returns have started to affect Assassin’s Creed, and while Revelations doesn’t quite live up to the promise of its subtitle, there’s still plenty to like about what may be Ezio Auditore’s final adventure.
-
Rayman: Origins Review
- X360
Rayman: Origins is as gorgeously rendered a platformer as you're ever likely to see--and hey, it plays great too!
-
Super Mario 3D Land Review
- 3DS
Super Mario 3D Land wastes a bit of time up front with some levels that are a little too basic, but once it gets going, it reveals some terrific moments that make the 3DS make sense.
-
Saints Row: The Third Review
- X360
- PS3
Saints Row: The Third redraws the line for sheer absurdity and violence in video games several times over, then proceeds to rub it out entirely with a giant purple dong.
-
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Review
- Wii
For mostly better and only a little bit worse, Skyward Sword is the best Zelda game in years, and makes a strong case for motion controls when done right.
-
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review
- X360
- PC
Bethesda's latest, seemingly endless fantasy role-playing experience is unmissable, technical flaws be damned.
-
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Review
- X360
Modern Warfare 3 feels split between the great excitement of its time-tested multiplayer and the feeling that this whole style of game has just gotten old.
-
BurgerTime: World Tour Review
- WSHP
- X360
- PS3N
- PC
It's not exactly the Burger Time you remember, but World Tour is a decent little multiplayer game in its own right.
