Grand Theft Auto IV
Grand Theft Auto IV offers the best gameplay of the series to date, but it has lost some of the traditional GTA spirit.
(written for NoobFeed.com) Grand Theft Auto. Three words that caused quite the upstir in the last decade. As soon as the notorious video game series, often dubbed 'crime simulator', went 3D, it was the primary target ... Read Full Review

Crysis Warhead
Even if it's on the short side, Crysis Warhead's campaign is every bit as good as that of the original.
The 2007 PC exclusive Crysis amazed many gamers with its fantastic visuals. A vast jungle environment was brought to life with cutting edge technology, neat artistic direction and lots of attention to detail. More import... Read Full Review

Crysis
Beside the graphics, the main draw of Crysis is its solid gameplay and fantastic execution of various FPS concepts.
Those who have never played Crysis will still be aware of how great this game looks. This spiritual successor to Far Cry revolutionised graphical technology to such an extent that barely any computer was capable of runni... Read Full Review

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
With the most balanced and reliable gameplay yet, Call of Pripyat takes the atmospheric series to a new level.
If the 2007 FPS S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has taught us one thing, it's that modern-day shooters needn't necessarily be an overproduced, scripted, cinematical experience with a heavy focus on multiplayer in ord... Read Full Review

Metro 2033
Metro 2033 shows once again why Eastern Europeans are the masters of atmosphere - and of single player FPS.
Even though games such as Call of Duty and Medal of Honor make it seem like FPS developers are running out of ideas, the genre seems to be more alive than ever. Because among all of the genericalness, there are quite som... Read Full Review

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the best 3D platformer to date, as well as one of the best video games of all time.
When Roger Ebert claimed that video games could never be considered art, he pointed out that games often have very immature storytelling, and argued that the fact that games are often joint efforts instead of personal ae... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty 2 is pure fun, and can be played by anyone looking for a straightforward and fast-paced shooter.
Having only had some limited experience with some of the Call of Duty games, Call of Duty 2 was the first actual game in the series that I completed. Even though the cinematic presentation immediately struck me, the game... Read Full Review

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
This dark, raw, and unforgiving shooter provides a truly unforgettable experience for the more serious FPS fan.
Some of the most annoying, but at the same time most common mistakes in video games and fictional media in general are details which seem to undermine the logic of the setting or universe in which the story takes place. ... Read Full Review

Quake II
Quake II just couldn't hide that it was already dated by the time it came out, nor that it was a PC game at heart.
The long running Quake franchise was and is one of the most acclaimed FPS series to date. It gained much of this praise, however, on its native PC platform rather than on the consoles. Quake II was the second appearance ... Read Full Review

God of War (Greatest Hits)
God of War is an unforgettable and challenging experience that will reward those who manage to conquer it.
It seems that when a console does not have an official mascot, an appealing character from a popular (and exclusive) franchise will eventually claim the role of becoming the face of the platform he appears on. When Crash... Read Full Review

FIFA 09: All-Play
FIFA 09 is decent enough to keep you busy for a long time, but its shortcomings keep this game from becoming intriguing.
For years, the annual FIFA game has been an obligatory addition to the library of any console. While the series managed to gain some ground on the Pro Evolution Soccer games, however, FIFA's Wii debut was all but satisfa... Read Full Review

Medal of Honor Frontline
Over the years Frontline has lost much of its original appeal, leaving us with little more than an okay shooter.
An inherent problem with war-based shooters is that their historical setting will always put a certain limitation to the possibilities in terms of artistic design and gameplay. Especially when a certain group of games is... Read Full Review

Disaster: Day of Crisis

Rabbids Go Home
Creative, charming, polished, and overly enjoyable - the Rabbids at their very best.
The Raving Rabbids, a horde of idiotic white bunnies that will blurt out 'BWAAAH!' in any given situation, only made their debut in late 2006, when they helped turn Rayman's latest party title (aptly named Rayman Raving ... Read Full Review

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
After more than a decade OoT is still great fun, but newcomers will wonder what all the fuss is about.
When you ask a random gamer what he considers to be the best game of all time, odds are that he'll mention The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Upon its release on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, reviewers couldn't praise this... Read Full Review

Rayman DS
This limbless port of the 1998 classic has absolutely nothing going for it.

Jazz Jackrabbit
Jazz Jackrabbit was arguably the fastest, richest, and most enjoyable platformer of its time.
Since the rise of the home consoles in the early eighties, games such as Super Mario Bros. 1-3 and Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series helped define the 2D platforming genre. Even though PC gamers had the acclaimed Commande... Read Full Review

Rampage Through Time
RTT experimented with some new gameplay applications which turned out to kill the vibe that made the series interesting.

Rampage 2: Universal Tour
Universal Tour is one of the most charming, rewarding, and complete tributes to the 1986 arcade classic.
The Rampage series is loved and hated equally for its straightforward, monotonous, arcade-like approach to action gaming. The series has always revolved around letting an oversized monster destroy all buildings of a cert... Read Full Review

Rampage World Tour
Rampage World Tour's essential problem is that it clearly wasn't designed for home consoles.
In a time when having a home console was a relative rarity even for dedicated gamers, there were the arcade halls that specialised in draining defenseless teenagers from their pocket money. Although spending one's entire... Read Full Review

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
A carefully designed game that is fun for as long as it lasts, but suffers from a lack of content.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

Rayman Raving Rabbids
A generic side-scrolling platformer that fails to impress even with the help of a horde of insane rabbits.

Crash Nitro Kart
Whilst offering nothing new, Crash Nitro Kart is by no means a bad kart racing game.
Ever since the birth of the series and genre in the early nineties, possibly no franchise has had to cope with more shameless and bland rip-offs than the Mario Kart series. The idea of putting mascots in the driving seat... Read Full Review

Mario Kart Wii (w/ Racing Wheel)

Star Fox: Assault
An enjoyable game that mixes the gameplay which made the franchise popular with various new elements.

Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars
Mushroom Men is a decent platforming effort, even if it doesn't manage to avoid commonly made mistakes.

RAGE brings back the glorious goriness of old-school shooters, but suffers somewhat from its disjointed design.
