    The Bigs

    If you like baseball and you aren't looking for a deep game experience, The Bigs on the Wii delivers. The Wii controls save the game; it's a fairly shallow experience on the other systems. This is a great game to throw i... Read Full Review

    This new expansion doesn't revolutionize WoW, but just adds bits and pieces that improve on an already great game.

    World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

    This new expansion doesn't revolutionize WoW, but just adds bits and pieces that improve on an already great game.

    The wait is over and now we finally have something to do with our characters that have been sitting at level 70 for over a year. Wrath of the Lich King gives us a level cap raised to 80, a new land to explore, and anothe... Read Full Review

    There seems to be an equal amount of improved and removed features, which isn't exactly the best direction to go.

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2

    There seems to be an equal amount of improved and removed features, which isn't exactly the best direction to go.

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 had a clear agenda of cutting back on content in order to refine the experience. Unfortunately they only achieved half this goal in releasing a shorter adventure with fewer characters and a le... Read Full Review

    Gameloft delivers a bite-sized version of Halo.

    N.O.V.A. - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance

    Gameloft delivers a bite-sized version of Halo.

    Gameloft proved that the iPhone could handle a full fledged FPS just a few short months ago with Modern Combat, but they are far from kicking back and savoring their victory. Their next target was a bite-sized version of... Read Full Review

    Lighthearted entertainment that is one of the best ways to spend a dollar in the iTunes App Store.

    Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain!

    Lighthearted entertainment that is one of the best ways to spend a dollar in the iTunes App Store.

    A game based on Chuck Norris seems like an impossible prospect. How do you make a game out of a man who counted to infinity (twice), slams revolving doors, and regularly plays Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun? Ju... Read Full Review

    Forza Motorsport 3

    Easily one of the best racing games on the Xbox 360. Has something for anyone remotely interested in cars.

    Racing games can be difficult to review. Without doing anything glaringly wrong, most of the features will come down to personal preference here more so than in other genres. Forza Motorsport 3 is one such title that doe... Read Full Review

    Righted their very few wrongs with a better story, more detailed environments, and far more humor.

    Usually developers wait until their sequel to start working on the complaints from their game, but Gearbox used their first DLC to start righting their very few wrongs. The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned has a better story, mo... Read Full Review

    Call of Duty: World at War - Zombies

    The popular Nazi Zombies mode is realized on the iPhone, but may only be worth it if you have friends to play with.

    Nazi Zombies was easily the highlight of Call of Duty: World at War. The rest of the game was good, but the only thing people kept talking about was the bonus mode unlocked only after completing the game. This mode has n... Read Full Review

    This is one of those games that you will want to have simply to show your friends what the iPhone can do.

    I just finished playing a first person shooter on an iPhone. No, there is no punch line; this isn't a joke. Modern Combat: Sandstorm sets the bar for future action titles on the system. As Gameloft is becoming known f... Read Full Review

    Forms a bridge for action fans to role-playing games, much the way Diablo did all those years ago.

    Borderlands

    Forms a bridge for action fans to role-playing games, much the way Diablo did all those years ago.

    Blending genres doesn't usually work too well, as the game's typically turn out as watered down version of each included game type. It is because of this that Borderlands is a daring prospect. Not only does it blend two ... Read Full Review

    A great action ride, though it doesn't really contain anything that distinguishes itself as a Bond game.

    007: Quantum of Solace

    A great action ride, though it doesn't really contain anything that distinguishes itself as a Bond game.

    Quantum of Solace, along with X-men Origins: Wolverine, seems completely determined to prove to us that movie tie-ins don't have to mean bad games. It's no Goldeneye, but the latest entry for James Bond in the video game... Read Full Review

    A solid game. However the dull plot, rehashed multiplayer, and short length make it hard to recommend at full price.

    Halo 3: ODST doesn't do anything to surprise you. You will be using the same guns to fight the same enemies that have been in the series since the start. The series has never been much for adding new things to each new t... Read Full Review

    Too Human

    A brilliant world crafted around a game with a few rough edges and is far shorter than it should have been.

    One thing that must be said about Too Human is that it is a fairly unique experience. Very few games are based around Norse mythology and even less have so deeply immersed itself in it. Too Human could have left it at th... Read Full Review

    Velvet Assassin comes across as another 'me too' game. It isn't bad, but also isn't a much of a stand out title.

    Shadow Complex successfully puts a new spin on an old-school genre. I can't think of a better value in gaming today.

    The value will depend entirely on how much you like these types of games. Some may get bored, while others will love it.

    Turtles in Time: Re-shelled is a tough game to critique. In the case of the '89 arcade game that came out on Xbox Live a while ago, little was changed, so players knew what to expect. In Re-shelled, the improved graphics... Read Full Review
