Shank Game Review | “Decent”
Aug 25th
Ever since I saw Shank in a hotel room at PAX last year, I’ve been optimistic. With visuals that cross the grittiness of graphic novels with the strong design sense of cartoons like Genndy Tartakovsky’s Samurai Jack, Shank makes a hell of a first impression.
Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days Review
Aug 24th
Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days Review, It’s telling that the first thing you see when you hit “new game” in Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a camcorder on a tripod; more than just about any other videogame in recent memory, Dog Days looks and feels like a movie.

Need for Speed World Review
Aug 3rd
Need for Speed World, If you were in the Headstart week of Need for Speed World, in which early birds could tour the world a week early, you’ll have experienced a discouraging sense of isolation.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Review, Real-time tactics evolve with StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, Blizzard’s long in the making sequel to one of the most beloved, bestselling sci-fi strategy games of all time.
Limbo Game Review
Jul 19th
Limbo Game Review, Videogames are an art form made up of visuals, sound, and a mysterious little something we call gameplay. Limbo is the perfect example of these three crafts working together in harmony to create something astounding.
Transformers: War for Cybertron Review
Jun 22nd
I’ve never been as consistently interrupted while playing a game at the office as I was while playing through High Moon’s Transformers: War for Cybertron.
Blur Review
May 27th
Review by IGN 7.0/10 Decent
Generally I’m one of the best gamers I know. I don’t say that to brag — I say it to provide some context when I say that Blur, the new racer from developer Bizarre Creations (Project Gotham Racing), can be damn hard.
The single-player Career mode in Blur features some
Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review
May 22nd
Review by IGN 10/10 Masterful
Not since the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System has Nintendo been so committed to the Super Mario franchise on its current generation console: 2007 was the year that Nintendo revamped the 3D Mario design with Super Mario Galaxy, and just six months ago the company rebooted the
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Review
May 19th
Review by IGN 8.0/10 – Impressive
I’ve been a fan of the Prince of Persia franchise ever since 2003’s The Sands of Time. The combination of acrobatics and combat– along with the sweeping environments — made the Prince of Persia franchise one of my favorites from the last generation. And despite Ubisoft beating
Alan Wake Review
May 6th
Review by EuroGamer 7/10
“It’s ready when it’s ready.” Developers must love being able to say that. It means they’re so rich and successful they don’t have to worry about trivialities like release dates. The publisher will wait patiently for them to hand over the finished product, and won’t dare bang on
Lost Planet 2 Review
May 6th
Review by EuroGamer 6/10
Jun Takeuchi wasn’t exaggerating when he described this sequel as “almost a totally different game”. Unlike the lonely, icy adventure that constituted the original, the hugely ambitious Lost Planet 2 has been re-envisioned as a four-man multiplayer adventure in a variety of climates. You still get to activate data
ModNation Racers Review
May 5th
Review by EuroGamer 7/10
Well, I managed to resist it. In all the hours I spent toying around with ModNation Racers’ fantastic suite of creative tools I restrained myself from making a single character which even vaguely resembled a set of genitalia. Nor did I craft any of the Mario Kart characters.
Super Street Fighter IV Review
Apr 24th
Super Street Fighter IV Review, If someone were to walk up to me and ask what fighting game they should buy, my answer would be Super Street Fighter IV. In standard Capcom fashion, the company has updated a celebrated fighter, in this case Street Fighter IV, and added a whole pile of features and playable characters to make a improved product. With a bigger online suite and a bunch of other tweaks, this is the better version of Street Fighter IV, meaning it’s one of the best fighters around.
