Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Crystal Dynamics Saves Lara From Irrelevance (Again)
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light marks the second time that Crystal Dynamics has rebooted Lara's image during this console generation, but this new face lift is a much bigger departure for the heroine. Although indu... Read Full Review

LittleBigPlanet
As a do-it-yourself platformer, Littlebigplanet is a solid effort, but as Sony's flagship title of 2008 it disappoints.
Littlebigplanet is many things; a video game, an interactive art project, an outlet through which creativity can flourish. But the fact remains that first and foremost, LBP is a platformer video game, and while the artis... Read Full Review

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
FE:RD hasn't made any significant changes to the formula, but it's still one of the best options for hardcore wii gamers
Fire Emblem made its US debut on the GBA a few years back. Although it was the first in the series to hit our shores, there have been many of the games produced in Japan. Playing the new Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn brings... Read Full Review

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days
Bad Dog
Most games recognize that in order to be entertaining, the odds must be tipped slightly in the player's favor. By adding features such as aiming assistance and regenerating health, and streamlining their controls, most g... Read Full Review

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game
Imitating the Classics... To A Fault
If there's one thing I can definitely say about Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game, it's that Ubisoft didn't feel any pressure to fall into the typical movie licensed game trap with this one. The comics were written wi... Read Full Review

Monday Night Combat
More Unique Than You'd Think
Despite frequent claims to the contrary, Monday Night Combat is more than a Team Fortress 2 ripoff. This quirky amalgamation of genres may take some getting used to for seasoned shooter vets who are used to gunning fo... Read Full Review

BioShock 2
While Familiar, Bioshock 2 Marks Another Triumph for 2K
On August 21st, 2007, I took my first tentative steps into Rapture. The initial decent into the submerged metropolis has been seared into my mind ever since. After all, who could forget the feeling of wonderment as the t... Read Full Review

Batman: Arkham Asylum
More Than Just "Best Comic Book Game"
To say that Batman: Arkham Asylum is the best comic book game ever made is to do the game a disservice. Think about it. Most games based on comics are average at best, with only a few rising to greatness. Arkham Asylum e... Read Full Review

Excite Truck

Wii Sports
pack-in game or not, Wii Sports delivers on the fun factor.

Mirror's Edge
Mirror's Edge is an intriguing concept executed with startling ineptitude.
I was really pulling for Mirror's Edge to be one of the best games of the year. I mean, with a concept this unique, the development expertise of DICE, and EA's deep pockets, ME should have been superb. The harsh reality ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: World at War
CoD: WaW is technically a superb shooter, but its often generic execution drags it down.
The newest Call of Duty game has a lot to offer to shooter fans. The single player campaign, which is purported to last around 6-7 hours, never lets up on the intensity, and the multiplayer package is one of the most wel... Read Full Review

Dead Space
Dead Space is an easy, but ultimately satisfying horror game. All action/horror fans should make a point to purchase it.
Dead Space is a scary game. The lighting, sound, and pacing blend perfectly together to create an experience unlike any other, even when it's clear that EA has aped a few of the design mechanics. The control scheme, for ... Read Full Review

Halo 3
Halo 3 is almost the best shooter on the 360, and with games like Gears and Bioshock, that's no small feat.
Halo 3 eliminates all of the problems that I had with Halo 2. There are no more confusing level designs, the story is well done and makes sense, and the game just has that distinctive "Halo" vibe that was a bit... Read Full Review

Fracture
Fracture isn't a bad game, but it certainly isn't that good.
In the vast library of next-gen games, Bioshock is the equivalent of Shakespeare, Resistance is Michael Crichton, and Fracture is some trashy action book on the Clearance rack. It's not well written, it's not nuanced, bu... Read Full Review

Jeanne d'Arc
Jeanne D'Arc is easily one of the best PSP games for SRPG fans such as myself.
I love a good strategy RPG. With such high profile SRPGs coming out for the PSP later this year, like Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness and Final Fantasy: War of the Lions, it might be easy for some to overlook Jeanne D'Arc... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 3
With intense gameplay, great graphics and improved online play, Call of Duty 3 revolutionizes the WW2 genre.
As I follow my ally's tank across the open field, I can't help but feel that something intense is about to go down. It's quiet...a little too quiet for comfort. The soldiers around me seem to agree, as they are talking n... Read Full Review

Perfect Dark Zero
Despite some poor reviews, PDZ pulls through to become a great FPS.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Mercs 2 has a philosophy that I can really get behind: It's all about the explosions and the money.

Lumines Live!

Resistance: Fall of Man
Resistance should be played by any FPS fan who owns a PS3. It's a superb shooter, even if it's not the most unique.
Resistance is not the most unique shooter out there. To me, it feels sort of like a mash up of Halo and Gears of War. That said, it is one of the most intense shooters out there, outpacing both Halo and Gears, and it is ... Read Full Review

The Darkness doesn't really try to shake things up, but it's good at what it does.
