	The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings review (PC) Reviewed on May 23, 2011 If you can look past the balancing, pacing and technical issues, there is an extremely solid RPG here - nothing especially innovative, but definitely a game that sets out to be the most absorbing, rich and spectacular experience it possibly can be. It’s a disappointment because it largely succeeds in that goal while fluffing the basics. The best RPG of the current generation? With a bit more care, it could have been.
	Last Action Hero review (GB) Reviewed on May 22, 2011 Fists. That's it. There are no guns, no grenades, not even a knife, a sword or a broken bottle. The only time you do get to use a weapon in this game is for one boss battle, but outside that you have to punch both of the different enemies to death.
	L.A. Noire review (PS3) Reviewed on May 22, 2011 L.A. Noire is a fairly dull detective game unnecessarily superimposed on an open-world. Most of the time players spend while playing L.A. Noire is doing things that are boring, mindless, rote. When the cases are interesting, as several admittedly are, the mystery is compelling enough to drive players through these rough patches. But when the cases fall flat, players can become quickly disinterested and the game starts to become wearing and tedious.
	Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition review (3DS) Reviewed on May 21, 2011 Street Fighter IV has received its second update with Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition for the Nintendo 3DS. The small portable cart packs quite a punch with every feature from Super Street Fighter IV for Xbox 360 and PS3 along with new features including figure collecting, wireless figure battling, and of course, 3D graphics.
	Mortal Kombat review (PS3) Reviewed on May 21, 2011 This game doesn’t just retell events, but remakes the gameplay into something better than ever. The game literally feels like NetherRealm studios took every good piece of Mortal Kombat that ever existed, threw it in a blender, then added their own unqiue umbrella to stir it up with. The results is a bigger, badder, better, Mortal Kombat game. TASTY!!!
	Halo 3: ODST review (X360) Reviewed on May 20, 2011 Daniel Richtmyre - If you are one of many who enjoy the Halo games, than there is really nothing I can say that will deter you from buying Halo 3: ODST. In fact, chances are, you’ve probably already bought the game. Halo 3: ODST uses basically the same formula as pretty much every other game in the series. If you like Halo, you’ll like this game; but if you don’t, than this expansion probably isn’t going to change your mind.
	Machinarium review (PC) Reviewed on May 20, 2011 Romel Ramos – A point and click adventure, Machinarium is a puzzler set in a futuristic robot world. You play as an innocent looking robot; journeying through a gritty machine city, while his story unfolds.
	Tower Bloxx Deluxe review (X360) Reviewed on May 20, 2011 Daniel Richtmyre - Tower Bloxx Deluxe is an incredibly addictive game. The premise being that you must stack stories of a building together in order to make an incredibly tall tower. This is done by dropping “Bloxx” from a swinging crane, which initially starts on a flat building site, and progressively grows when you start stacking bloxx on top of each another.
	Mirror's Edge review (X360) Reviewed on May 20, 2011 Dan McKenney – You might be looking to play a new first-person shooter? If you are, that's cool. There's plenty of options, so take your time. No hurry… Now, a first-person action platform game? Well, there's really only one of those. The one being Mirror's Edge, a surprisingly creative new IP from the Battlefield devs Digital Illusions CE.
	Okami review (WII) Reviewed on May 20, 2011 Romel Ramos - For ninety-nine years, the demon lord Orochi lay imprisoned and the lands of Nippon were peaceful. However, one fateful day the holy sword used to seal Orochi’s corpse was stolen and his evil escaped, which in effect cursed the lands, spreading an infectious mist that suffocated everything it touched. The land, being in a complete state of destruction and pleading for help, triggers the Sun Goddess Amaterasu to return in attempt to defeat Orochi once more as she did one hundred yea
	L.A. Noire review (X360) Reviewed on May 19, 2011 What eventually passes for core gameplay in LA Noire is a bad guessing game in which you have to decide whether people are lying and which bits of evidence from your inventory confirm the lie. It's all very vague, and you'll feel like quite the schmuck when you're sure you've cornered a suspect, only to realize that the game's writer was on a different page. Not that it matters, which is a terrible thing to say about core gameplay.
	Dragon Warrior II review (NES) Reviewed on May 19, 2011 Without those rose-colored memories, what we're left with is a decent older RPG that was a marked improvement on the first Dragon Warrior, but more than merely a step behind the third and fourth NES installments. I've played through those two games multiple times. When I picked up Dragon Warrior II a year or two after initially beating it, I think I got about halfway through before losing interest.
	Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword review (PC) Reviewed on May 18, 2011 This kind of incompetence is old news, although one would have hoped that for the series' third outing the AI squadmates would be better at self-preservation. What makes it more frustrating than in the past, however, is that you simply cannot be enough of a superhero to make up for their ghastly mistakes. Because now there are all these guns, you see.
	MLB 11: The Show review (PS2) Reviewed on May 16, 2011 MLB 11: The Show rings in the new year with a fresh take on the baseball franchise, complete with up-to-date roster changes and overhauled batting mechanics.
	Total Recall review (NES) Reviewed on May 15, 2011 Punch out the midgets and it's time to move down the street where you'll be ambushed by single-shot security guards, attacked by hitmen who pop out of garbage cans, and eventually tangle with what's best described as The Glory Holes of Doom.
	inFAMOUS review (PS3) Reviewed on May 14, 2011 McGrath comes from humble beginnings, he's nothing special, he doesn't think much of politics or Empire City. Cole has no secret wish for saving the world, or any dramatically suppressed demons. Nor strange personality quirks that beg to be exploited for super-powers, etc. He simply cares about his friends, and live a reasonably normal life like everyone else. Until one of the packages Cole is delivering literally blows up in his hands, which is where the game starts.
	Hostages review (AMIGA) Reviewed on May 12, 2011 In this game, the terrorists drive Volvo.
	Pit-Fighter review (SNES) Reviewed on May 12, 2011 "Blood Sport" it ain't...
	Brink review (X360) Reviewed on May 12, 2011 Like Quake Wars, Brink has excellent bot support, which makes it a viable single-player game. Or, even better, a game you can enjoy with a small group of friends playing among bots. It's remarkable how well the AI can handle this relatively complicated game, making use of different weapons, different class abilities, the movement system, and various elements of the maps. In fact, one of the best ways to learn a map is to follow a bot. When it comes to competent bots making multiplayer more than just multiplayer, medium budget games like Brink and Section 8 put to shame AAA franchises like Halo and Call of Duty.
	Shining Force II review (GEN) Reviewed on May 10, 2011 There’s a reason why I’ve revisited Moun on an almost yearly basis, and beaten the hell out of goat-eared mages. And it’s the same reason why I’ll meet up with FREYJA around the same time next year and do it all over again.
