Lost Planet 2 Review
- X360
Everything about this nice-looking, mostly online shooter is cumbersome and unpleasant to deal with in one way or another.
-
3D Dot Game Heroes Review
- PS3
An oddly reverent homage to the original Legend of Zelda, 3D Dot Game Heroes is enthusiastically nostalgic fun with a unique graphical twist.
-
Split/Second Review
- PS3
- X360
Split/Second's high-gloss mayhem is best-in-class, though it peaks early, and the chaos can overwhelm the actual racing.
-
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Review
- X360
This is no more and no less than a pretty good reprisal of last generation's Prince of Persia games.
-
Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review
- WII
Super Mario Galaxy 2 sees both Nintendo and Mario himself in top form, delivering an adventure that's as consistently exciting and inventive as ever.
-
Blur Review
- PS3
- X360
Bizarre Creations has found a game worthy of the developer's namesake in Blur, a game that finds something fun in the peculiar pairing of weighty, quietly technical real-world racing and over-the-top kart combat.
-
UFC Undisputed 2010 Review
- X360
UFC Undisputed 2010 has some great gameplay additions and solid online performance that makes you want to just keep fighting.
-
ModNation Racers Review
- PS3
Creative users have already made ModNation Racers a ridiculous kart-racing good time.
-
Alpha Protocol Review
- X360
- PS3
There are brilliant moments in Alpha Protocol, but they're all but muted by poor gunplay and a list of unfortunate technical issues.
-
Green Day: Rock Band Review
- PS3
- X360
Green Day: Rock Band makes good on the promises implicit in the title, but it requires an appreciation of both Green Day and Rock Band to really enjoy.
-
Backbreaker Review
- X360
This hard-hitting attempt at a Madden alternative is hardest hit by its own inept gameplay.
-
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.
-
Transformers: War For Cybertron Review
- PC
- PS3
- X360
War For Cybertron might be the best Transformers game ever made... but that isn't exactly a high bar to best.
-
RISK: Factions Review
- XBLM
EA and Stainless Games went ahead and made Risk completely crazy, and Risk: Factions is ultimately better for it.
-
Crackdown 2 Review
- X360
Crackdown 2's open nature can lead to some cool moments, but even the cool moments feel like they were lifted directly from the previous game.
-
Puzzle Quest 2 Review
- XBLM
- DS
Infinite Interactive takes it back to basics in just the right way with this sequel.
-

-
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor Review
- WII
Treasure gets playful with this dizzying shooter sequel that's both accessible and challenging.
-
Deadliest Warrior: The Game Review
- XBLM
Quick, bloody death makes Deadliest Warrior kind of charming, but its "first mistake loses" mentality wears thin fast.
-
Limbo Review
- XBLM
Stark, gruesome, and gorgeous, this indie puzzle platformer will stick in your mind long after you've seen it to the end.
-
DeathSpank Review
- PS3N
- XBLM
DeathSpank can be very charming, but it's rarely much more than that.
-
Hydro Thunder Hurricane Review
- XBLM
Look past the dull single-player modes and get online if you want to have a great time racing boats.
-
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Review
- PC
Top to bottom, this is a totally worthy successor to one of the best strategy games in history.
-
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair Review
- XBLM
Harmony of Despair's multiplayer design isn't fleshed out well enough to make you forget about the grind.
-
Monday Night Combat Review
- XBLM
For $15, there's an awful lot of varied, satisfying multiplayer action in here.
-
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Review
- PS3
Kane and Lynch's trek through Shanghai's underworld is astoundingly brief, leaving you just enough time to get a feel for the game's great visual style, but not much else.
-
Madden NFL 11 Review
- X360
Madden NFL 11 makes the act of getting into a simulation football game a great deal easier, and without removing any of the complexity of the game, to boot.
-
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Review (DLC)
- X360
Kane and Lynch's trek through Shanghai's underworld is astoundingly brief, leaving you just enough time to get a feel for the game's great visual style, but not much else. Also, we experienced a fairly crippling technical issue while testing the Xbox 360 version.
-
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light Review
- XBLM
It would seem that a change of perspective is all Lara Croft needed to revitalize her tomb-raiding antics.
-
Mafia II Review
- PC
- PS3
- X360
This decent tale of ascension through the mob ranks feels a little outdated as an actual video game.
-
Metroid: Other M Review
- WII
Samus Aran's transition to fast-paced third-person action is mostly a smooth one.
-
Shank Review
- PS3N
- XBLM
Few games share Shank's violent enthusiasm, even if it can't carry the whole experience.
-
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Review
- XBLM
Five dollars is an absurdly low price for the equally absurd, wholesale zombie slaughter in this download.
-
Halo: Reach Review
- X360
Reach's expanded multiplayer component offers a huge amount of variety that will keep Halo fans going for a good, long time.
-
Sports Champions Review
- PS3
Sports Champions feels cold and calculated, but it's hard to argue with its solid base of motion-based gameplay.
-
Sid Meier's Civilization V Review
- PC
Firaxis offers a hardcore turn-based strategy experience that nearly anyone can approach, without sacrificing any of its wildly addictive appeal.
-
Dead Rising 2 Review
- X360
- PC
Dead Rising 2 comes with a long list of unfortunate problems, but if you're the type to look past those issues and love a good challenge, this game is actually awesome.
-
Borderlands Review (DLC)
- X360
- PS3
- PC
This cyborg-infested add-on brings a strong conclusion to the world of Borderlands.
-
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West Review
- X360
- PS3
Deeply engaging characters and mostly solid action combine in Ninja Theory's latest effort.
-
Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Review
- X360
The underlying formula and a handful of good songs still provide some bright moments, but Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock feels all too obligatory to be very exciting.
