TNA iMPACT! Review
- X360
TNA iMPACT! has some great ideas, but a wide array of issues big and small prevent it from achieving greatness.
-
Spore Review
- PC
Spore spreads itself a little thin, but the epoch-spanning gameplay and communal creature creation culminate in a one-of-a-kind experience.
-
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Review
- PS3
- X360
The awesome destructive potential of Mercs 2 is hamstrung by a litany of technical shortcomings and clunky design.
-
The Last Guy Review
- PS3N
The Last Guy is an interesting game, but there's not enough to it to make it a good game.
-
Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise Review
- X360
There are just enough new features--and just enough delightfully nutty new pinatas--to warrant a second trip into the garden.
-
Castle Crashers Review
- XBLM
Technical hiccups can't keep The Behemoth from sieging my heart!
-
Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty Review
- PS3N
Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty is a decent diversion for the price, but will make you long for the next full installment in the series.
-
Galaga Legions Review
- XBLM
Galaga Legions isn't a great Galaga sequel, but it's a decent space shooter with some interesting ideas.
-
Space Siege Review
- PC
This click-happy sci-fi dungeon crawler is neither aggressively bad nor especially remarkable. In other words, it's OK.
-
1942: Joint Strike Review
- XBLM
- PS3N
1942: Joint Strike is a decent shooter that offers some replay value--but only if you're into moving up online leaderboards.
-
Too Human Review
- X360
Too Human has a unique setting and some compelling ideas, but it doesn't offer enough variety to stay fresh from start to finish.
-
Fable II Pub Games Review
- XBLM
A crappy gambling game that also doubles as a parable about the dangers of downloadable content.
-
Bionic Commando Rearmed Review
- PC
- PS3N
- XBLM
Bionic Commando: Rearmed is a superb remake that should appeal to old and new fans of the NES classic.
-
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner Review
- WSHP
- PC
Strong Bad cordially invites you to have a giant slice of his style.
-
Soulcalibur IV Review
- X360
- PS3
Soulcalibur IV's sharp fighting is offset by a dull set of single-player modes and lame guest characters.
-
Unreal Tournament 3 Review
- X360
Unreal Tournament 3 is a competent Xbox 360 shooter that can be exciting and very fast-paced, but it occasionally feels like some kind of creepy history lesson on the way games used to be.
-
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Review
- X360
Even if you are a hardcore Aerosmith fan, this game's short and spotty track list makes it hard to recommend.
-
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution Review
- X360
- PS3
It's not a seamless transition, but Civilization Revolution is a mostly successful effort to bring Sid Meier's celebrated strategy series to consoles.
-
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 Review
- XBLM
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 adds new modes and elements that make it significantly better than both its predecessor and the scads of dual-joystick shooters that were released in its wake.
-
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit Review
- X360
- PS3
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is by far and away the best looking Dragon Ball Z game available today. Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't match the visuals in terms of recreating the action and appeal of the source material.
-
Soulcalibur Review
- XBLM
Soul Calibur gets the fighting right, but without online play or the single-player mission mode that made it fun to play alone, this XBLA re-release is a flimsy package.
-
Battlefield: Bad Company Review
- X360
Bad Company's pro-explosion agenda makes its solo and multiplayer components markedly better than they would be otherwise.
-
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures Review
- PS3
- X360
Lego Indy is an endearing romp through the classic swashbuckling films, but the Lego gameplay's rough edges are starting to show.
-
Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy Review
- X360
- PS3
Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy is a flashy action game that's sabotaged by a brief runtime and a lack of depth.
-
Wii Fit Review
- WII
Wii Fit's simple workouts run out of charm pretty quickly, but for some, the subtle nudge to get on a better workout plan will be worth the price of admission.
-
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Review
- PS3
Metal Gear Solid 4 is a fitting coda to the series and the single best reason to own a PS3 so far.
-
Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 Review
- XBLM
- PS3N
Commando 3 makes a pretty good first impression, but the rest of the game doesn't offer enough excitement to carry you through to the end.
-
SNK Arcade Classics V.1 Review
- PSP
- PS2
It's hard to consider some of these early Neo Geo releases as "classics," but at least there's a good variety of game styles in SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1.
-
SingStar Review
- PS3
Adding an online video repository and an online store full of songs takes SingStar to exciting new heights.
-
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness - Episode One Review
- XBLM
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is as entertaining as its title is long.
-
Rocky & Bullwinkle Review
- XBLM
While there's probably a good way to fit the world of Rocky & Bullwinkle into a WarioWare clone, this game doesn't pull it off.
-
Haze Review
- PS3
Haze ticks most of the boxes on the "things a first-person shooter should have" form, but doesn't do so in a particularly interesting way.
-
Defend Your Castle Review
- WSHP
Defend Your Castle's charming visuals and low price tag help compensate for some simple gameplay.
-
Boom Blox Review
- WII
You might not enjoy every single game type that Boom Blox offers, but most of them are a lot of fun, especially if you're playing with friends.
-
Target: Terror Review
- WII
Target: Terror looks like it was a lot of fun to make, but that doesn't mean it was a lot of fun to play.
-
Mario Kart Wii Review
- WII
Mario Kart Wii lives up to series expectations in the safest ways imaginable.
-
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Review
- PS3N
- PS3
It provides a promising glimpse into the future of Gran Turismo, but the content doesn't justify the $39.99 price tag.
-
Grand Theft Auto IV Review
- X360
- PS3
Niko Bellic is one of the most human protagonists to ever appear in a video game, and his trials and tribulations make GTA IV absolutely unforgettable.
-
NBA Ballers: Chosen One Review
- X360
- PS3
NBA Ballers: Chosen One looks flashy at first glance, but you never really feel like you're doing much more than triggering a series of animations.
-
Dark Sector Review
- X360
- PS3
Dark Sector's got great-looking character models, but the slow and repetitive gameplay really holds it all back.
