	Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D review (3DS) Reviewed on February 27, 2012 One of the best games ever made is back, and now it’s in the palm of your hand.
	The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim review (PC) Reviewed on February 27, 2012 The main plotline is haunted by a sense of wonder and is graced by many (scripted) scenes that are bound to be remembered as some of the most memorable scenes in gaming: the first dragon hunt at the Whiterun guard tower; the reading of the Elder Scroll on the mountaintop; the dragon trapping in Dragonreach; the greeting and cheering of a dozen flying dragons after the final battle.
	Rule of Rose review (PS2) Reviewed on February 27, 2012 While coming on strongly like a survival horror title, Rule of Rose nods to some of the genre's mechanical demands in an almost obligatory fashion, being basic at the basics and downright bad at combat. The game's power and meaning are instead invested in atypical areas; in a weird and chronologically difficult mystery story, in its transgressive subject matter and in the wide range of moods the game is able to conjure up.
	Dino Rex review (ARC) Reviewed on February 26, 2012 Dino Rex is a cruel king. It's uncompromising in difficulty and relentless in its quest to rip you apart. Make one mistake and your opponent is all over you, cheesing you with the most difficult moves and connecting with ease. It makes itself look so easy that you wonder what you're doing wrong. Even as your dino struggles to its feet, the game continues and eventually concludes its merciless onslaught with an unbreakable chain of attacks.
	Undercover Cops review (ARC) Reviewed on February 26, 2012 Now, I don't know what the game's title, Undercover Cops, has to do with anything, since this Irem beat 'em up have zero situations that involve going under a different identity. Would've made for a humorous bonus stage, though. Thankfully, we don't play games in this particular genre for logic, and to my delight, the developers made sure to toss gamers into absurd circumstances, as has been noted with Mr. Fire Crotch.
	Alan Wake's American Nightmare review (X360) Reviewed on February 25, 2012 While there’s still undeniably appeal in the Alan Wake franchise – the story is interesting for those players willing to read between the lines, and the combat is still a blast in moderation – American Nightmare is an underwhelming follow-up that simultaneously feels abbreviated and spread too thin.
	EvilQuest review (X360) Reviewed on February 25, 2012 EvilQuest gets more than enough to justify its already low asking price, but let’s not let its Indie status colour it completely; The 360’s Indie channel regularly produces titles of great value hidden beneath the muck and Chaosoft’s effort certainly deserves to stand along side them.
	WipEout 2048 review (VITA) Reviewed on February 25, 2012 While so much of the game remains the same as it ever was, it’s no bad thing. What’s the point in reinventing the wheel when you can instead buff it to a gleaming neon shine then have it whirl off at 220mph.
	Final Fantasy XIII review (X360) Reviewed on February 24, 2012 At least the fighting was fun — after the game had decided I'd done well enough with the remedial classes and gave me access to everything. Each character can take on a number of roles. Ravagers blitz foes with attack magic, while Commandos deliver powerful melee attacks. Other roles are more specialized, doing things like buffing party members, debuffing foes, casting healing spells and serving as tanks to protect the more frail from powerful assaults. As the game progresses, each character learns new roles, making them more versatile. With a click of a button, you can switch from a set-up with two Ravagers and a Commando to one designed to quickly heal the wounded.
	Pokemon Stadium review (N64) Reviewed on February 23, 2012 If you ever were able to recite all of the original 151 Pokémon from memory, this game is for you. If you ever got into an argument over whether Scyther or Pinsir is the better Bug Pokémon, this is the game for you. If the first Pokémon movie made you cry, this is the game for you. However, if you're still learning the ins and outs of Pokémon, try something else.
	Rhythm Heaven Fever review (WII) Reviewed on February 20, 2012 Rhythm Heaven Fever asks that you "relax and have fun." Heck, it even tells you that outright in the opening cutscene. It doesn't want you to become too absorbed or obsessed with beating a high score or freaking out when you make a mistake. Just kick back and enjoy the ride!
	Rayman Origins review (VITA) Reviewed on February 19, 2012 On the Vita’s OLED screen in particular, colors are surprisingly vibrant. Rayman is animated beautifully and so are his enemies, but the backgrounds are truly something to behold. Screenshots don’t do them justice. They often resemble the most beautiful backdrops from the most beloved of Disney animated features.
	Sonic Colors review (WII) Reviewed on February 19, 2012 Whew, that was close.
	18-Wheeler American Pro Trucker review (DC) Reviewed on February 19, 2012 A game about big rigs? 18 wheelers driving across the United States of America? There's been plenty of unusual titles before this game's time, but still, it's not a premise you think would show up in a video game. Then again, it was made by Sega, a company that managed to turn taxi driving into a crazy activity, so if there's anyone that could make truck racing interesting, it's them.
	Little Deviants review (VITA) Reviewed on February 17, 2012 Little Deviants could have been a decent game, even without a multi-player component, but the mini-games are often challenging because of their imprecise controls, not thanks to designer ingenuity. It’s difficult to forget that most of what you find here wouldn’t be nearly as difficult if it used the available analog stick rather than forcing you to play around with the Vita’s more unique features.
	Final Fantasy XIII-2 review (X360) Reviewed on February 17, 2012 Final Fantasy XIII may have been a commercial success, selling millions of units around the globe, but it also could also be considered one of this generation’s biggest disappointments. It wasn’t so much that the game was bad, just that a number of fundamental concepts which make Final Fantasy games so enjoyable were stripped away.
	Pokémon Rumble Blast review (3DS) Reviewed on February 16, 2012 Want to beat up Toy Pokemon? This may be a game for you then!
	Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus review (PS2) Reviewed on February 16, 2012 While Sly Cooper occasionally shows glimpses of stealth, it just doesn't do enough to be called a stealth game. It's a decent action game, and a very good platformer. But, a stealth game, it isn't.
	Michael Jackson: The Experience HD review (VITA) Reviewed on February 15, 2012 While Michael Jackson: The Experience HD is an engaging experience as far as it goes, there’s just not enough of it. Anyone who is happy that there are only 15 songs probably shouldn’t be buying the game in the first place, and fans who totally dig what Ubisoft has done here will probably wish for two or three times the number of selections.
	TNN Motorsports Hardcore Heat review (DC) Reviewed on February 15, 2012 When the Dreamcast was released in the U.S. on September 9, 1999, it had a bevy of varied launch games to back it up. Some were titles everyone knew and had to get, like SoulCalibur and Sonic Adventure, then there were the rest, the "second choices" that spanned many genres: action, racing, sports, and so on. It was easy to get lost in the shuffle, fallen to obscurity, and it happened with quite a few. Hardcore Heat was such a GD-ROM, an off road-ish racing game of the arcadey kind.
