Catching Some Zs
Although Dead Rising was a fantastic game on the 360, Dead Rising: Chop till You Drop is a bit too truncated to be great on the less impressive Wii hardware.
Purple With a Punch
Spyro the dragon is one of the hardest working computer game characters these days. He takes to the skies again with The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.
Regaining a Legacy
Elven Legacy puts you in charge of trying to regain the glory of the Elven race. But it also gives turn-based strategy games their own renewed glory.
Evil Is Resident, Again
The long awaited Resident Evil 5 is finally here, and despite some questionable AI, comes off as a great sequel to good old number four. It’s a spooky, action-packed hit.
The End Is Blah
Watchmen: The End Is Nigh is a downloadable, episodic adventure based on the hit movie, which is a cool concept. But the game quickly turns into an overpriced button masher.
So Bad, It’s Really Good
House of the Dead: Overkill is a game that thankfully never takes itself too seriously. The developers set out to make a bad game, and as it turns out, made a really good one.
Star Ocean Washes Over PSP
Star Ocean: Second Evolution hits the ground running as a top title for the PSP platform. It takes us back to the original series, but adds a lot of new elements, like real-time combat.
Stuck in a Web
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows has a phenomenal character building engine, but falls a little flat in the graphics and story department, making it a forgettable Spider-man title.
Reliving A Grand Age
It’s been a while since anyone has seen an epic game set in Roman times. And Grand Ages Rome is just the thing to temp you to break out your horsehair helmet again.
Lara Is Back
Fresh off of Anniversary, Eidos strikes again with Tomb Raider: Underworld. And this time around, Lara is more realistic than ever. Plus it’s a pretty good game.
