	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
	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...
	Limbo review (X360) Reviewed on May 10, 2011 Hell is where the heart is.
	Tenchu Z review (X360) Reviewed on May 08, 2011 For all its faults, Tenchu Z is something all games should be but are increasingly often not: it is fun.
	Dune: The Battle for Arrakis review (GEN) Reviewed on May 07, 2011 Dune: The Battle for Arrakis doesn't need extras to know how to rock.
	Godzilla review (C64) Reviewed on May 04, 2011 Has there ever been a Godzilla movie where the military succeeded in defeating him without the help of another monster or a cockamamie invention? No. Congrats, you're the first nimrod in history to accidentally kill Godzilla with the military.
	Dead Space 2 review (X360) Reviewed on May 01, 2011 In the very first scene – before we even take control – Isaac is talking to a guy who’s trying to get him out of his straitjacket, and then the guy gets stabbed in the face by an infector, and then scythes sprout out of his back, and then his face peels off, and then he goes “BLEEEAAAAAAARRRRRRKLLKEJBGFMVRSKGUSBOVMOCDGJEBSHRV!” And then the game gets loud.
	Mafia II review (PS3) Reviewed on April 30, 2011 [Mafia II] doesn't pave new ground and it probably won't be remembered as one of the greatest mafia stories ever told across any medium, but it is the best mafia story that our industry has ever told and I think that's something to celebrate.
	Sea Monster review (A2600) Reviewed on April 30, 2011 Sea Monster is another obscure Atari 2600 game lost in the depths. The name might stir the imagination and prompt a lover of esoterica to search it out. You might think the game sets you up as the eponymous beast devouring snack after snack--sharks, whales, unwary swimmer--and racking up points.
	WWF Smackdown review (PSX) Reviewed on April 28, 2011 The advent of the McMahon-Helmsley era, The Rock 'N' Sock Connection, and a complete revamp of The Undertaker. Then along comes Smackdown!.
	Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly review (GB) Reviewed on April 27, 2011 Escaping the woods to the mess hall offers no solace. There the platforming is nixed and an all out food fight ensues. While this sounds like an exciting battle royale involving food and foolery, it's merely a scene of straightforward side-scrolling with the occasional press of the B button. Leave it up to Imagineering to make murdering someone with a hamburger or piece of broccoli feel tedious.
	Portal 2 review (PS3) Reviewed on April 26, 2011 So there you go. Portal 2 might not have been the brain-teaser I’d hoped for, but it is too much a breath of fresh air in a world of stale design for me not to be impressed by it. If more designers did things like Valve we’d have... well, we’d only have one game released every two years. But it would be a goddamn incredible game.
	Eye of the Beholder review (AMIGA) Reviewed on April 26, 2011 Taken for what it is - an old-school immersive dungeon crawler - this game still holds up today.
	Portal 2 review (X360) Reviewed on April 24, 2011 So, if Portal is the equivalent to a Pixar short that pops up before a lame Disney movie, then Portal 2 is the full-length Pixar follow-up.
