	World of Goo review (WII) Reviewed on October 16, 2008 World of Goo is a stunning example of how to build a simple physics-based puzzle game into something truly epic.
	The Witcher review (PC) Reviewed on October 16, 2008 There's a lovely quality to The Witcher's atmosphere, stemming from a combination of lush art design and the gripping plot on offer. It suffers from occasional pacing issues -- chapter one in particular requires a horrific amount of to-ing and fro-ing before it gets to the point -- but it's delivered in a generally satisfying, urgent and compelling way, driving the player to press on with the journey through Temeria. It certainly feels a lot more focused than some of its next-gen peers, which will relieve those who found themselves wandering around Oblivion's vastness with little clue of what was unfolding around them.
	Silent Hill: Homecoming review (PS3) Reviewed on October 15, 2008 In light of the innovations made by competing survival horror franchises such as Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark, it wasn’t surprising that the latest Silent Hill game would be pretty different from the rest of the games in the series. With that said, many fans are quick to dismiss The Room as a “true” Silent Hill sequel. Although the next game, Origins did much better, as it played more like a classic Silent Hill game, though with more action oriented and “3D” controls. Homecoming was the n...
	Final Fantasy XII review (PS2) Reviewed on October 15, 2008 After beating the game's final boss, I remembered a fight with one of those trophy enemies — a zombie mage named Disma. That dude was rough, able to take off obscene amounts of hit points with both his physical and magic attacks while getting far tougher as you close in on killing him. It was a fight only a masochist could love and winning it gave me more of a sense of accomplishment than I received from the final boss or any other storyline encounter. And that's considering my "Disma-killing" tactics would likely be looked at as cowardly and cheap even by the hardcore fans who've dedicated an ungodly amount of time to figuring out the most efficient tactics for virtually every battle in the game.
	Mario Kart Wii review (WII) Reviewed on October 15, 2008 Nintendo should be commended for making genuine improvements to its classic formula, but my resulting goodwill vanished the minute I was reminded that rubber band AI is the devil.
	Silent Hill: Homecoming review (PS3) Reviewed on October 15, 2008 Silent Hill…
	Exit review (X360) Reviewed on October 14, 2008 Upon first glance of EXIT, you'll probably assume that it's just an average, two-dimensional platform title taking place mostly inside normal buildings. And you'd be half right. EXIT puts you in control of a man called Mr. ESC, an escape artist (get it, HAR HAR?), and for the duration of the entire game, you'll have to constantly help whiny people exit hazardous situations through 220 stages. You're damn right that's a lot of stages. It doesn't sound all that great, and when you pl...
	Geo-political Simulator review (PC) Reviewed on October 14, 2008 Getting things back into the green through changing the budget is like playing Operation with shaky hands – doable, but difficult and pointless. All this makes for an experience that is essentially unfriendly to the causal player or warmonger, as you have to be really secure in your power (usually only possible after investing a considerable amount of time into balancing your affairs) before even thinking about launching a mission to 'blow shit up'. Its accurate to real life, but will really deter people who simply don't have the opportunity to play a game for that long in order to get to the juicy part.
	Resistance: Fall of Man review (PS3) Reviewed on October 14, 2008 A strange race of aliens infests continental Europe. You are Nathan Hale, an American soldier tasked with snuffing out the spread of this dangerous and powerful race.
	Manhunt review (PC) Reviewed on October 13, 2008 You’ve been following the controversy surrounding the Grand Theft Auto series for… let me start over.
	The Political Machine 2008 review (PC) Reviewed on October 13, 2008 The presidential race is split into forty one weeks. This gives you forty one turns to play out in the same time as your opponent to fly all over America and convince as many states as you can to vote for you. By any means necessary..
	Pump It Up Zero Portable review (PSP) Reviewed on October 12, 2008 PIU Zero Portable is the game PIU Exceed Portable should have been. Really. Zero actually co-ops a significant chunk of its PSP predecessor's set list, mixes them with favorite songs from the NX and Zero arcade flavors of Pump It Up, and presents it all in a much improved package. Where Exceed exhibited a clunky, frustrating user interface, Zero is intuitive and accessible. Where Exceed rigidly controlled user options, Zero
	Dead or Alive 4 review (X360) Reviewed on October 12, 2008 Things haven’t changed a lot, so much as been refined, the fourth time ‘round. The usual suspects are on offer: Ninja Gaiden’s Ryu Hayabusa, the super ninja; Kasumi, the sexy ninja pacifist (I kid you not); Hitomi, the hot German kareteka; Hayate, the unbelievably powerful pretty boy ninja. In case you’re new to the DoA experience – yes, there are a lot of ninjas.
	Ankh: Curse of the Scarab King review (DS) Reviewed on October 12, 2008 Ankh remains a game worth playing. Just not in this form.
	Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru review (SAT) Reviewed on October 11, 2008 Once you get past the quirky control scheme, this game — the tale of a psychic monk gorily slaughtering feudal Japanese demons — really is pretty damn cool.
	Radia Senki: Reimei Hen review (NES) Reviewed on October 11, 2008 If there was ever an underrated game, this would be it. Released in 1991,this was the NES's "Golden RPG"; but, sadly, it never got the fame it deserved.
	Kolibri review (32X) Reviewed on October 11, 2008 Arguably the best hummingbird/scrolling shooter hybrid on the SEGA 32X
	Kingdom Hearts review (PS2) Reviewed on October 11, 2008 If you’re willing to bypass the game’s numerous flaws and instead look at its marvelous accomplishments, you’ll enjoy your time immensely. It’s plot really is touching, and sometimes even shocking, amidst the predictability; the realms of Disney are so well thought and acted out that they feel almost real; and combat is refreshing, if clumsy at times.
	Bionic Commando Rearmed review (PS3) Reviewed on October 10, 2008 Ah the good old days of gaming, when things were simpler and games didn't last as long. Of course, this was probably because you lost all three lives within ten minutes of game play and then went to do something else, like play soccer or have a tea party with your sister.
	Time Hollow review (DS) Reviewed on October 10, 2008 On the night preceding his seventeenth birthday, Ethan Kairos' peaceful slumber is interrupted by a fiery nightmare. He sees his father and mother struggling to escape a raging inferno. The next morning, he bolts awake into a reality where that dream appears to be truth. Now, he possesses foreign memories of his parents disappearing twelve years ago, along with ones of growing up in the care of his secretive, hotheaded uncle. Yet, the remnants of his original life clearly remain in his consc...
