Hotel Dusk: Room 215

An intriguing storyline, sharp writing, and a fantastic film-noir art style make Hotel Dusk a mystery worth solving.

If you're even reading about Hotel Dusk then there's probably a good chance that you're at least a little bit familiar with what Hotel Dusk actually is. It's worth noting that Hotel Dusk is not so much a game as it is a ... Read Full Review

Crysis

Intense, thrilling, and visually stunning. When the credits roll you will feel a great sense of amazement, and euphoria.

If there is anything that pretty much everyone already knows about Crysis it's that the game is freaking beautiful. There is no doubt in my mind that Crysis is easily one of the best looking games ever created. This cr... Read Full Review

F.E.A.R.

Mind-blowing A.I., and an absolutely chilling atmosphere combine to create one of the best shooters of the decade.

It's difficult to know where to begin with my experience of playing through F.E.A.R. In fact, I've spent the last ten minutes re-writing this first paragraph over and over again simply trying to think of a way to begin t... Read Full Review

Dragon Quest IV: Michibikareshi Monotachi

Dragon Quest IV is a bit archaic feeling, but it's still a decent game worth checking out for RPG enthusiasts.

When it comes to role-playing games one thing that's readily apparent is that a good story can elevate even the most mediocre game into a realm far beyond what it would have been capable of achieving based on the merits ... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy IX

While a fond look at the past it may be, Final Fantasy IX never succeeds at surpassing the games it tries to emulate.

Strengths: References to the past games longtime fans will cherish; The upbeat Zidane is a refreshing main character; musical score gets the job done. Weaknesses: Shallow characters; Story lacks real motivation and ov... Read Full Review

Street Fighter IV (Collector's Edition)

If you don't have Street Fighter IV just stop reading this and go buy it right now.

Well, if you insist on reading then lets get on with it then. I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I know everything there is to know about fighting games; nor am I going to act like I've been around the block e... Read Full Review

Aquaria

Aquaria is an exceptional game that proves anyone can create something magnificent if they put their heart into it.

Every now and then there's a truly magnificent game that slips by unnoticed. I'm not talking about games like Mirror's Edge because while it may not have performed as well as EA had wanted it to it still received plenty... Read Full Review

SoulCalibur IV

Soulcalibur IV's odd design choices are what ultimately bring down an otherwise solid fighter.

It's no secret that Soulcalibur is a top-tier fighting game franchise, so when a new iteration comes out you'd expect nothing but the best. While this still holds true when it comes to Soulcalibur's fighting mechanics, ... Read Full Review

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection

Tekken 5 is a lot of fun, but its bare-bones mode selection and high price tag make it a harder pill to swallow.

Prior to Namco Bandai's release of Soulcalibur for the Xbox 360, they had originally ported Tekken 5 to the PlayStation 3. In a strange turn of events, it seems that Namco got it right the first time with Tekken 5: Dark ... Read Full Review

Left 4 Dead

Left 4 Dead's great characters and entertaining co-op make this zombie apocalypse worth playing.

When you break Left 4 Dead down to its core components it's a relatively basic game; you grab some items, run through a level shooting countless common infected, fight a few special infected, and eventually seek shelter ... Read Full Review

SoulCalibur

Without any modern enhancements, Soulcalibur hardly gives you a reason to continue playing beyond the first round.

With the recent fighting game revival taking place during 2008 it's no surprise that Namco saw it fit to re-release the game that sent the Soul series to super stardom on a modern day console. Despite the odd numerical ... Read Full Review

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

Castlevania: The Impossible X Chronicles.

Games as challenging as Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles are a rarity these days. In the current state of gaming we are generally treated to a lot of things we take for granted such as recharging health, plenty of ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: World at War

An exciting Okinawa-based American campaign is what keeps this from being just another tour of duty through WWII.

It would be hard to immediately identify something as a World War II game with the absence of Nazis. In fact, the absence of Nazis is what potentially could have led Treyarch's latest iteration of the Call of Duty franch... Read Full Review

Mirror's Edge

A leap of faith worth taking.

Mirror's Edge is an incredibly unique experience that is extremely important in the age of an extremely over-saturate game market. We're constantly being flooded by the same types of games and an endless stream of seque... Read Full Review

Killzone 2

Killzone 2 is a great game but it can't help like feeling as if it's missing a little something.

PlayStation 3 or not, we've all been following Killzone 2 with eager eyes for a long, long time. Would Killzone 2 finally be that killer first person shooter that Sony so desired? Would it be that game that finally drew ... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas

Rainbow Six Vegas is infuriatingly difficult, yet so ridiculously intense and addictive that you won't even care.

I'm not going to lie to you; Rainbow Six Vegas is an infuriatingly difficult game. Difficult to the point that if you're a controller thrower, expect to have launched your Xbox 360 controller across the room at least a ... Read Full Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled

This rebirth of the classic Turtles in Time is undoubtedly fun, but it's not the remake you were expecting, or wanted.
