Dead Island Review
- PC
- X360
- PS3
Technical blemishes aside, you might be surprised how well loot-driven open-world questing and a tropical zombie apocalypse go together.
-
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Review (DLC)
- PS3
Space Marine's brutal single player works just fine on the PS3, but the online matchmaking is so busted that it's clearly the weakest of the three platforms.
-
Rock of Ages Review
Rock of Ages is as belligerently weird a game as you're ever likely to play, but by all means, you absolutely should play it.
-
Driver: San Francisco Review
- X360
- PS3
Driver: San Francisco takes the series in a supernatural direction with surprisingly exciting results.
-
Resistance 3 Review
- PS3
Insomniac does a terrific job of making you forget about Resistance 2 with a sad, beautiful journey through the apocalypse.
-
Bodycount Review
- X360
- PS3
Bodycount has a few solid ideas buried underneath layers and layers of boring gameplay.
-
Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection Review
- PS3N
- XBLM
The hallowed original trilogy of Mortal Kombat games deserves better than a bare-bones, barely functional compilation.
-
Madden NFL 12 Review
- X360
Madden NFL 12 finds the series in a state of regression, offering up minimal improvements to an increasingly passionless package.
-
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Review
- XBLM
Even if you completely disregarded Street Fighter III upon its initial release, Third Strike Online Edition is still worth checking out.
-
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review
- PC
- PS3
- X360
The world of Deus Ex: Human Revolution is absolutely worth seeing, and that trumps any of the little issues that pop up along the way.
-
Toy Soldiers: Cold War Review
- XBLM
Diversified, action-oriented tower defense combines with thick, thick '80s nostalgia to produce a worthy Toy Soldiers sequel.
-
Fruit Ninja Kinect Review
- XBLM
From your fingertip to all four limbs, Fruit Ninja Kinect offers simple, satisfying, smoothie-making fun that capitalizes on Kinect’s strengths.
-
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet Review
- XBLM
It's not the most demanding game, but this stylized marriage of 2D adventuring and unique visual art makes for an entertaining ride for as long as it lasts.
-
Yakuza 4 Review
- PS3
Yakuza 4 is a proudly traditional Japanese release, but the game doesn't always emphasize its best attributes.
-
Catherine Review
- X360
- PS3
You won't find another game on the market that's quite like Catherine, but it fumbles too frequently to work.
-
From Dust Review
- XBLM
This robust downloadable reminds you why it's so much fun to play video-game god.
-
Puzzle Agent 2 Review
- PC
- IPHN
Puzzle Agent 2 takes the low-key weirdness of the original in fittingly strange new directions, but the puzzles themselves lack bite and variety.
-
Captain America: Super Soldier Review
- PS3
- X360
Captain America may be derivative as all get out, but that doesn't mean there aren't some pleasures to be found in throwing a shield at a fake Nazi.
-
Ms. Splosion Man Review
- XBLM
Ms. Splosion Man lands on shaky footing, but at least she gets a lot of mileage out of that bow.
-
Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon Review
- X360
- PS3
Insect Armageddon fails to capture the chaos that made its predecessor "special," meaning there's little to distract you from the simple, repetitive, and boring gameplay underneath.
-
Dead Block Review
- XBLM
Dead Block is dead boring.
-
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony Review
- PC
Striking the proper balance between nostalgic and new, Jamestown is a real treat for classic shooter fans.
-
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D Review
- 3DS
Even the most devoted fans of the Mercenaries mode from the modern Resident Evil games will be ill-served by this insubstantial and expensive cash-in.
-
Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Review
- XBLM
Don't blink or you'll miss this pleasantly ludicrous parody of 16-bit Japanese role-playing games.
-
Lucha Fury Review
- XBLM
Lucha Fury is like a master class in how to make a terrible beat-'em-up.
-
F.E.A.R. 3 Review
- X360
After the previous games' high standards for chilling atmosphere and cinematic intensity, it's hard not to be disappointed by the common FPS trappings of FEAR 3.
-
Iron Brigade Review
- XBLM
Though some aspects of it are short-lived, there are enough great multiplayer moments in Trenched to make it worth your while.
-
Shadows of the Damned Review
- X360
Shadows of the Damned is a hell of a good time.
-
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Review
- 3DS
After more than a decade, portability and a lovely visual makeover are just bonus features for a game that holds up as well as Ocarina of Time.
-
Child of Eden Review
- X360
Child of Eden is Tetsuya Mizuguchi's most fully realized lightspeed bioluminescent cyberspace techno-synthetic neon air sculpture. That it's also a video game seems beside the point.
-
inFamous 2 Review
- PS3
It's not quite as refined as you'd expect a sequel to be, but Infamous 2 is still an electrifying good time.
-
Alice: Madness Returns Review
- X360
Like its predecessor, Alice: Madness Returns is a game whose considerable dark artistic visions ease much of the gameplay's burden--but not all of it.
-
Duke Nukem Forever Review
- PS3
- PC
- X360
Duke Nukem Forever is a sad mess of a game, but hey, at least it finally came out, right?
-
Red Faction: Armageddon Review
- X360
- PS3
A few physics-based weapons and destructible environments can't elevate this strictly average third-person shooter.
-
MotorStorm: Apocalypse Review
- PS3
Like an extreme sports video directed by Roland Emmerich, MotorStorm: Apocalypse is simultaneously at its best and worst when it ramps up its particular brand of delirious carnage.
-
DiRT 3 Review
- X360
Dirt 3 isn't as big a jump forward as Dirt 2 was, but tweaks and additional modes and features make it as deep as it is fun.
-
L.A. Noire Review
- PS3
- X360
Rockstar's bold open-world adventure game wraps macabre '40s grit around gripping detective work.
-
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game Review
- X360
- PS3N
The latest Lego extravaganza from Traveller's Tales offers some convincing reasons not to give up on this prolific, kid-oriented series.
-
Brink Review
- X360
Flat combat and a lack of variety are just two of the things that make Brink such a disappointment.
-
Outland Review
- PS3N
- XBLM
Housemarque's latest download is bursting with uniquely challenging action and visual panache to spare.
