The House of the Dead: Overkill
Fans of gory action will likely get a kick out of The House of the Dead: Overkill.
Finding a shooter on the Wii that isn't terrible is like finding a needle in a big pile of haystacks. Praise the gaming deities because now we have House of the Dead: Overkill. It's a shooter that's very much a throwback... Read Full Review

BioShock
Bioshock gets most things right but slips in a few key places.
Bioshock was easily one of my most anticipated games of the year. People were raving about this game as if it was going to make the First-Person Shooter genre feel fresh again. Did Bioshock live up to my expectations? In... Read Full Review

Donkey Kong Country Returns
Donkey Kong Country Returns is a game that's easy to reccomend to anyone who likes video games.
Donkey Kong has appeared in a few games over the years like Mario Party and Super Smash Bros, but Donkey Kong Country Returns has the big ape starring in his own game. DKCR resembles the classic DK games on the SNES, rat... Read Full Review

Skate 2
Skate 2 is a solid attempt at a sequel but it has some issues that are impossible to ignore.
The skateboarding video game genre was given a face full of ice water in 2007 after Skate came out, courtesy of EA. It changed what had been industry standards for many years, and it also added some new ideas which were ... Read Full Review

Super Mario Galaxy
This is one of the most polished games I've played in years.
You'd be hard pressed to find a more anticipated Wii game this year than Super Mario Galaxy. Mario games in the past have been responsible for delivering incredibly high quality experiences. Does Super Mario Galaxy live ... Read Full Review

Halo: Reach
Halo: Reach is a stellar game that shouldn't be missed by anyone who has an Xbox 360.
The Halo franchise has taken the world by storm since its debut in 2001. Halo: Reach is the fourth main installment in the series, but in between those four games there has been one spin-off and an expansion pack (Halo W... Read Full Review

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2
Geometry Wars 2 triumphs over its predecessor in every way that matters.
The first Geometry Wars was successful in the gameplay department largely because it never tried to be more than it actually was. All too often these days you find games loaded with gimmicks like overly muscular male pro... Read Full Review

Fable II
Fable 2 is like a small piece of turkey with a lot of mashed potatoes on the side.
Fable 2 is a role playing game that puts a large emphasis on choices that you make. You could see a small hint of that in the first Fable but this time around it's much more fleshed out. You can choose your character's s... Read Full Review

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved
This is easily the best Xbox Live Arcade game out right now.
Geometry Wars is a shoot 'em up that'll probably remind you of all the fond memories you had with this genre back in the day. First off, I'll let you know that I don't have an HDTV but you don't really need one to rea... Read Full Review

LIMBO
Limbo creates an exciting dreamlike experience, but this dream is over too quickly.
Games that go for a minimalistic approach are either hit or miss. One look at Limbo in action is enough to figure out that it's a game with an endearing concept. Limbo takes a risky approach to game design because it mak... Read Full Review

Skate
Skate is the first game to capture the essence of what Skateboarding is all about.
Basically if you wanted to play a Skateboarding game for the last 7 or 8 years then your only choice has been to play something in the Tony Hawk franchise. Those games might as well not even exist anymore because Skate w... Read Full Review

Pure
Pure is a solid first entry in a [potentially] new franchise.
If the MX and Tony Hawk series were to mate then the offspring would probably resemble Pure. It takes an arcade racing style and combines that with an insane trick system, while staying true to its off-road theme. When I... Read Full Review

It doesn't succeed at much, but it's hard not to appreciate what Dante's Inferno tries to do.

Dead Rising
Dead Rising is a game that you'll be coming back to for quite a while.
You're in a zombie infested mall and low on bowling balls. A group of people wearing yellow raincoats with green masks come charging at you-- do you fight your way through them and hope for the best or jump off that led... Read Full Review

Ninja Gaiden II
This game is strictly for NG fans; it's unlikely that anyone else will enjoy it.
Ninja Gaiden 2 is a wildly inconsistent game. It feels as if it was rushed out the door. As a result of that it's not even close to being as good as the first NG; I ultimately consider it to be a disappointment. That's n... Read Full Review

Mario Kart Wii (w/ Racing Wheel)
This is a game that you'll either love or hate.
So yeah, let's get that out of the way first; if you already like/dislike past Mario Kart games then this game will do probably nothing to change your mind. As you can tell from the score I gave it, I've thoroughly enjoy... Read Full Review

Zombie Apocalypse
Zombie Apocalypse is a perfect example of how you can ruin a good concept.
Zombie apocalypse is a top-down shoot 'em up that is all about non-stop action. You play as one of four generic characters that have personalities you've seen a million times before, and you're tasked with fighting off w... Read Full Review

Rock Band
Rock Band is a great game that's capable of keeping you busy for months.
To be blunt, Rock Band tries to be what Guitar Hero is not. If you're expecting a game with relentless difficulty for the guitar portions of every song then you'll be disappointed. While Guitar Hero 3 focused on nearly i... Read Full Review
