Mega Man 9

Age of Booty

Fable II

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

Dungeon Defenders

Slow, boring, broken attempt at tower defense version of Torchlight

Having just finished the perfectly-balanced "Orcs Must Die" through a hard-earned 5-skulls on every Nightmare-mode level, I was eager to jump into what was supposedly a "true RPG"-like TD game. But what I discovered in ... Read Full Review

Dungeon Siege III

Everything that made Dungeon Siege great has been lost in this gorgeous but broken sequel.

Dungeon Siege III -- They've effectively killed a franchise. The original DS took the pure action-RPG soaring to new heights, with non-stop combat-driven levels and widely-branching character customization. While III i... Read Full Review

From Dust

Interesting engine/mechanics, but relies on cheap scripted events. It's no Populous...

As a life-long fan of Populous, Powermonger, Sim-Anything, and all the Civ games, I rushed to buy this. Indeed, the physics and elements engine is quite satisfying to play with for awhile. But the game ultimately devolv... Read Full Review

Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Overrated: Long-winded conversations on horseback, with very little action

I spent three different 3-4 hour sessions trying to get into this game, after seeing the pile of glorious reviews and awards -- that's a more than fair shot. But the more I played the more it kept staying the same. H... Read Full Review

Two Worlds

"Unplayable on HD-equipped x360 systems -- a waste of $70"

The frame rate and lack of interface scaling at 1080 make this utterly unplayable, both on indoor and outdoor maps. There are absolutely no controls for setting the draw distance, or any other way to alleviate this unpl... Read Full Review

Too Human

This is the most unbalanced game I've played in years.

It's truly difficult to describe this game, even as a 27-year veteran of multi-platform gaming. The positive: The storyline, characters, and concepts draw heavily on Norse mythology, which is aptly handled and imple... Read Full Review

Castle Crashers

Perfect for fans of co-op beat'em-up games, tough single player.

Don't let the delightfully adorable art style fool you: there's more than enough co-op (and competitive) action in Castle Crashers to satisfy just about any fan of the classic multiplayer beat'em-up genre. If you've e... Read Full Review

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Major disappointment for those who loved BF:BC1's humor and campaign

Campaign: Prepare for disappointment, fans... Right off the bat, it's entirely clear that the developers ditched everything that was unique and good about BF:BC in favor of the high-selling aspects of a Call of Duty g... Read Full Review

Bionic Commando: Rearmed

Players be warned: The control scheme can be EXTREMELY frustrating early on, but it does have that classic console feel.

Players be warned: The control scheme can be EXTREMELY frustrating early on, but it does have that classic console feel. They perfectly nailed that nostalgia-inducing "platformer" vibe, while using current-gen tech to s... Read Full Review

Rogue Legacy

If only the controls were responsive enough...

Nearly everything in the review is accurate -- this is fun, challenging, and the procedurally-generated levels are generally fun. However the controls are just not quite up to the console-level responsiveness that a... Read Full Review

Gears of War: Judgment

A totally different type of Gears Game -- not for Single-Player enthusiasts at all. FUN scenario-based Co-Op MP.

The four-player Co-Op campaign is INCREDIBLY FUN! This is a Gears-style scenario-based game, not really a "true Gears game," but I truly haven't had this much over-the-top, non-serious combat fun in a game for months. ... Read Full Review

Defenders of Ardania

Although initially unimpressive, it's innovative and highly addictive!

As a long-time fan of tower defense games and the PC series of (incredibly strange and often difficult) Majesty games, I tried the demo and bought it after the first level. It's a solid, engaging blend of traditional ... Read Full Review
