Enchanted Arms
Enchanted Arms is cliched in some parts, but still lots of fun.
Enchanted Arms is a worthy first JRPG for the 360. The graphics are good, and even better during the cutscenes. The CG cutscenes are amazing and full of action. Overall, this is a very good game graphically. The sound i... Read Full Review

Army of Two: The 40th Day
While still not the best shooter on the block, The 40th Day marks a big step up for the franchise.
When the first Army of Two was released in 2008, I made it through about an hour of co-operative play with a friend before both of us declared it offensive bile and never touched it again. The Middle-Eastern setting hit ... Read Full Review

Spider-Man 3
Sort of like a parody of Spiderman 2. Ok Treyarch, where's the real Spiderman 3 game?
As i stated above, Spiderman 3 is like a parody of Spiderman 2. As in any good parody, all of the core elements of the original are there, but with some hilariously out of place elements. SM3 is plauged by glitches. One ... Read Full Review

Battlefield: Bad Company
Bad Company's solid campaign and great multiplayer make for good company on a boring night.
Battlefield: Bad Company represents developer DICE's first true attempt at crafting a single player campaign to complement the classic Battlefield multiplayer, and for a first attempt, it works out very well. The story m... Read Full Review

At first I thought that Gamespot had under rated Twighlight Princess. The game does have a beautiful presentation, with striking music and visuals. The story is one of the more interesting variations on the "save th... Read Full Review

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Uncharted is a must have for fans of action. That said, the short length and lack of multiplayer can be disappointing.
Think of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune as the Indiana Jones of video games. Players take control of Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter who, with the help of his pal Sully and reporter Elena, is searching for the lost treasure ... Read Full Review

BioHazard 4: Wii Edition
Resident Evil 4 is still one of the best games around.
RE4 is a new beginning for the zombie blasting franchise. Gone is the slower pace and tank-like controls, replaced by some pretty fast paced action and an intriguing story. As someone who had never played RE4 on the Game... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto IV
There are still a few issues...but make no mistake; this is the definitive GTA and one of the best video games yet.
The GTA series has always been one of the most revered in gaming, but a series of unrealistic mission objectives coupled with poor targeting and driving controls have always kept the game from fully resonating with me. T... Read Full Review

Age of Empires: The Age of Kings
Like the Advance Wars games that inspired it, this game is simple to pick up and fun to keep playing...
I'd like to start my review off by saying that I've never played any AoE games on my PC. I know they're good, but until now, I didn't have a good enough computer to play them on. That said, I found this game to be a fun... Read Full Review

Shadowrun

Shadowrun is a multiplayer only FPS based off of the tabletop RPG. The game has been in development for a while at FASA studios, and I can tell that the development time was well used. When you first start up the game, y... Read Full Review

Mario Kart Wii (w/ Racing Wheel)
Great tracks and new online play make Mario Kart Wii one of the best games in the Mario Kart series.
For me, Mario Kart Wii began with a resounding "meh." "Yes, this is definately Mario Kart," I thought as I played through my first 50cc race, "but will it really be anything more?" Thankfully, the game quickly picked up ... Read Full Review

Subarashiki Kono Sekai: It's A Wonderful World
The World Ends With You is the best RPG on the DS, and one of Square-Enix's most original efforts yet.
The World Ends With You is a hyper stylish RPG from the role playing masters at Square-Enix, and it's the most original game of its kind to be released in a long time. The game opens with an amnesiac teenage boy (ok, so ... Read Full Review

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the best game on a system that's already seen its share of great games.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the Wii's must buy game of 2008. Sure, Mario Kart Wii is looking fantastic, and Wii Fit will probably be fun for the entire family, but when it comes to it Brawl is Nintendo's only game that co... Read Full Review

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2
Vegas 2 was incredibly close to getting a 9, but there are a few issues that hold it back from being fantastic.
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 has already garnered inevitable comparisons to Call of Duty 4, so I'm just going to come out and say it: For my money, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 contains much more content, and is overall a better game. I a... Read Full Review

Aegis Wing

Uncharted: Chizu no Bouken no Hajimari

Gears of War 3
