Excellent Egyptian Exploring
Cleopatra Riddle Of The Tomb does not really offer anything too new for adventure gamers, but it does serve up a fun, if standard, voyage.
A New Noir Adventure
Overclocked: A History of Violence tells a tale of psychological trauma in a new and interesting way, something we have not seen from the adventure genre in a long time.
Grinding Galore
Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors is not really that great of an RPG, though it does feature some, shall we say, interesting characters.
All The Pretty Little Horses
My Horse and Me is backed by the International Equestrian Federation, because it emphasizes the care and feeding, as well as the competition jumping of horses. Little kids will love it.
A Parent’s Guide To Violent Games
GiN does not normally review books, but this one debunks the myths of violent games and children, so we happily made an exception for this must-read text.
The Experiment is Empirically Good
The Experiment locks you in a room and forces you to interact with the world through a complex computer system, multiple cameras, and a beautiful partner who does all the legwork.
Pinball Perfection!
Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection faithfully recreates some of the best tables ever constructed, and brings home the nostalgia of the game.
Hold the Line!
Frontlines: Fuel of War is a good shooter with some really nice single player missions. However, the online component could use a serious server upgrade.
Achtung Baby!
Panzer Tactics DS brings hardcore in-depth strategy to a small handheld platform, in this case the Nintendo DS. And it does it in a big way.
Putting The "Grand" In Theft Auto
Can a game really be perfect? Grand Theft Auto IV comes pretty darn close by combining reality and fiction in a beautiful, if very violent, non-linear game world.
