	Final Fantasy IV: The After Years review (WII) Reviewed on June 04, 2011 But the critical question: if you're going to fight the same battles, explore the same areas, use the same characters, and listen to the same music as Final Fantasy IV, then why play After Years at all? The only incentives are a few new dungeons and some new characters--none of which are worth writing home about--and the solid battle system.
	Crackdown 2 review (X360) Reviewed on June 03, 2011 I reviewed the original a while back. I might as well direct you there; it’s not like Crackdown 2 is a new game or anything.
	Pokémon Pearl Version review (DS) Reviewed on May 31, 2011 My greatest enjoyment from Pearl, as with all generations of Pokemon, has come from finding and capturing every species available, figuring out how the new ones evolve and deciding how best to maximize my Pokemon's move set to create the most effective strategy. But Pearl has added a lot more to this level of discovery.
	Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 review (X360) Reviewed on May 31, 2011 Essentially, if you're a fan of Naruto you'll probably love it. That's all I have to say, and I've probably wasted ten minutes writing this because almost NOBODY will look past the zany looking box art to the right. But if you do, I think you may find yourself enjoying this game a hullava lot more than you expected to.
	Brink review (X360) Reviewed on May 30, 2011 Being able to communicate with real people is pretty key, as the game involves people taking on one of four different roles (Soldier, Medic, Engineer or Operative – a.k.a. Spy) to complete missions. Success in these tasks is nigh-impossible if you've got some moron CPU, who insisted in his random English accent, 'I'LL ESCORT YOW', sprinting into the firing line then having his head blown off before he can take ten minutes to turn around and attempt to fire back.
	Plants vs. Zombies review (X360) Reviewed on May 29, 2011 With neighbor Crazy Dave (who is obviously crazy because he has a pot for a hat) at your side to give you advice and yell gibberish at you, you’re off to guard your precious home by planting organic armies to do your bidding. You build up your reserves by gathering sunlight, which falls from the sky or pops out of immensely helpful sunflowers. Once you have enough sunlight, you choose from a variety of plants to fortify your home and build your forest.
	Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond review (X360) Reviewed on May 29, 2011 After the disappointment that was Eat Lead, a mundane attempt at video game satire, I really, truly wasn't expecting its sequel to be hot stuff. I started playing it, realized it was a run 'n gun title in the tradition of Contra... and waited. For what? For Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond to suck.
	Tumble review (PS3) Reviewed on May 28, 2011 Building with blocks in a clinically pure environment, and then resetting the mess with the push of a button. It sounds an awful lot like a parent's dream come true. In spite of that, is Tumble still fun?
	Saints Row review (X360) Reviewed on May 27, 2011 And while GTA has been veering towards a less ridiculous narrative, Saints Row begs not to be taken seriously. One scene features your character flying out of a vehicle at 60 MPH and skidding along the pavement. Instead of dying or winding up in critical condition, he shrugs it off like he stubbed his toe.
	The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings review (PC) Reviewed on May 26, 2011 Despite a few hitches 'Witcher 2' is a tremendous achievement in the field of computer gaming
	Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard review (X360) Reviewed on May 23, 2011 You often find yourself thinking, "Is this a nod to another game, or is Eat Lead unintentionally doing something cliche?"
	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
