Trine 2 Review
- PC
- XBLM
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
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
It's not exactly the Burger Time you remember, but World Tour is a decent little multiplayer game in its own right.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
- XBLM
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
- XBLM
- 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.
