    Excite Truck

    Extreme in every sense of the word!

    It's hard to call this game anything other than fun. I'd recommend this game to just about anyone and here's why: The graphics aren't anything super special to look at but I'd still rank them above most Gamecube game... Read Full Review

    Sonic the Hedgehog

    I was a big fan of the Sonic Adventure games (much to the chagrin of most of my friends), so I was pretty excited when I heard Sonic Team was going to try to bring their blue bomber back to his original 3D form. Unfortu... Read Full Review

    Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

    The Castlevania series takes another stride in its journey towards perfection.

    There is a LOT to love about Konami's most recent entry into the venerable Castlevania series. Where to begin. . .? How about if we start with the flawless gameplay? There is a lot of complexity and nuance to the mu... Read Full Review

    Rayman Raving Rabbids

    Ridiculous fun and hilarity; a great launch title!

    This game demonstrates more than anything that the Wii is just flat-out a FUN console. Although it's being released on other platforms, after playing through the Wii version you'll be convinced that it's the only way to... Read Full Review

    Red Steel

    Some untapped potential, but worth picking up

    The Wii's first batch of games, by and large, left something to be desired. But what many of them did do is gave us a glimpse into the future of gaming, and that's exactly what Red Steel does. It was a tough call on ... Read Full Review

    Resistance: Fall of Man

    Pretty underwhelming, at best.

    I never really felt like I was playing this game. Its single-player campaign is almost painfully linear, and I felt, in some places more than others, that there was a set way the game wanted me to dispatch my enemies. ... Read Full Review

    Gears of War

    An innovative and INCREDIBLE shooter.

    Wow. This game is as close to perfection as next-gen games have gotten so far and are probably going to get for a loooooong time. Let's start out with the stellar graphics. The lighting effects off of everything, th... Read Full Review

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

    Probably the best game to play with your friends since Super Smash Bros Melee

    I'm usually not a fan of these top-down, OCD-style games. I never really "got" the Diablo games, and even Raven's X-Men Legends game just flat-out didn't appeal to me. But the action and plain old fun this ga... Read Full Review

    Need for Speed Carbon

    Looking for exciting, next-gen racing experience? Look elsewhere.

    The venerable Need for Speed series has been going through a recent steady, albeit unfortunate decline. The Underground games were the last two that really struck a chord with me as being just good fun; recently I've be... Read Full Review

    Shadow Hearts: From the New World

    It's a pretty fun game, but feels like it's missing something.

    It feels like it's missing the spark that made the Final Fantasies so much fun to play through; just a lack of polish that's glaringly obvious in the area of graphics, but, as they say, the devil's in the details. The m... Read Full Review

    Psychonauts

    If only more people played it!

    I'm going to say right off the bat that I'm a HUGE fan of Tim Schafer's, so this review is more than likely going to be a little bit slanted just because of my predispostion to this remarkable game designer. That bein... Read Full Review

    This game is extraordinarily fun to play through; like the GS review says, though, there isn't really any replayability, but going through the first time and unwinding the plots behind each of the cases is powerfully fun... Read Full Review

    Marble Blast Ultra

    Really fun, very addicting

    This is one of those stupidly fun games like Tetris that, in spite of feeling impossible at times, still is very rewarding and very fun to play. I grew up on Marble Madness for the NES, so when I saw this game on XLA,... Read Full Review

    Star Fox Command

    Pretty fun gameplay but. . .

    The thing about Star Fox Command is it attempts to portray itself as a story-driven flight combat game. There can be no doubt that the game has a lot of story sequences but there are a couple of problems with this, the ... Read Full Review

    Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)

    If you thought the other versions of this game were broken. . .

    I don't think I've ever thrown a controller as many times as I did playing this game. It's a very simple game with not much in the way of mechanics, but the way the single-player game cheaply beats you because you didn'... Read Full Review

    Squad-based shooting at its finest.

    I'll just say right off the bat that I've never been a huge fan of squad-based shooters, so it came as a surprise to me when I actually found myself having a good time playing this game! The visuals are superb, the ga... Read Full Review

    Yep, this is Street Fighter II alright.

    It's just like I remembered it back when I was playing this game on the Sega Genesis, only I'm significantly worse at it now for some reason. It was a cheap, nostalgia-inducing game so I went ahead and downloaded it, ... Read Full Review

    While frustrating at times, this game still shines as one of the best 360 titles to date.

    Does anyone remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles side-scrolling beat-em-ups? Or the X-Men games in the same vein? Remember how badly they failed when they were converted to 3D? Dead Rising is what the 3D versions... Read Full Review
