	Aphelion Episode One: Graves of Earth review (X360) Reviewed on July 19, 2010 The episodic nature of the title goes some way to explaining the inconclusive ending to the game, but my exhaustive relationship with Sam & Max means I know it’s not really excuse. I suppose it claws creditability back by being a fantastic game suffering a “not quite there yet” by-line.	3.5/5
	Armada 2526 review (PC) Reviewed on July 11, 2010 Armada 2526 is a hard game. It doesn’t have a plot, but it does have a big, wide open galaxy to explore and twelve distinct races to base your own story on.	4/5
	The Godfather II review (PS3) Reviewed on July 07, 2010 Battles are won before a single shot is fired, business taken without so much as a pride-obliterating pimp slap and the game completed without effort or, ultimately, interest.	3/5
	Sam & Max: They Stole Max's Brain! review (PC) Reviewed on July 03, 2010 Here, he needs to disturb an alliance between previous chapter’s villains using chicanery and random vandalism, while disembodied Max, his brain kept snug in a sealed jar, complete with electronic voice box and L.E.D mouth, antagonizes all around him out of sheer boredom.	3.5/5
	8-bit Girlfriend review (X360) Reviewed on June 29, 2010 8-bit Girlfriend is a paper thin joke that doesn’t even stay around long enough to wear out its welcome.	1/5
	Resident Evil 5: Untold Stories review (X360) Reviewed on June 27, 2010 Untold Stories, as a whole, is a fantastic package that allows you to experience both sides of Resident Evil 5‘s extremes in their very best light.	4.5/5
	Dead Space review (X360) Reviewed on June 20, 2010 Dead Space doesn’t want to be another forgettable survival horror wannabe. It desperately wants to be taken seriously and, as such, has poured tremendous efforts into establishing its credentials.	4.5/5
	I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1NIT!!!1 review (X360) Reviewed on June 20, 2010 If you’re one of the few still left out in the dark, I can guarantee you’re all the poorer for it.	4.5/5
	LEGO Rock Band review (WII) Reviewed on June 13, 2010 Maybe in any other game, I would feel pretentiously ashamed from having any kind of musical association with Counting Crows and Rascal Flatts, but the adorable Lego overhaul strips the game of the pseudo-seriousness exhibited in other musical titles, be they Rock Band or Guitar Hero. My biggest rival through the tour mode was a disgruntled drum-playing octopus who wasn’t included in the band due to an obscure rule on sea life being allowed in a contracted band, and I had to help demolish a strangely indestructible building by playing Tick Tick Boom at it until it fell over.	4/5
	Uno review (X360) Reviewed on June 02, 2010 For the most part, Uno is a laid-back, chilled experience that can either be played as a bite-sized relaxant in between bigger games or as a surprisingly easy way to burn away several hours.	4/5
	Jewel Quest Mysteries: Curse of the Emerald Tear review (DS) Reviewed on May 31, 2010 As things stand, there absolutely no reason to recommend this over any of the other Jewel Quest entries already out there. By picking up an older version, you are spared from inclusions that lessen the overall effect and get the experience the game as it should have been kept.	2.5/5
	Sam & Max: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak review (PC) Reviewed on May 30, 2010 Forget about this shaping up to be the best Sam & Max season yet: this is shaping up to be the best thing Telltale have produces thus far.	4.5/5
	Wings of Prey review (PC) Reviewed on May 30, 2010 It’s not an easy task to please everyone, but Wings of Prey tries to do just that and, in a lot of ways, actually manages to succeed.	4/5
	Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie review (X360) Reviewed on May 22, 2010 There’s brilliance included, and stand-out moments litter the game like pinpricks of inspiration, but they tend to get lost in the bog of over-championed ideas best explored in moderation but dished out mercilessly in servings of pure overkill.	3/5
	Get to tha Choppa!!1 review (X360) Reviewed on May 20, 2010 Get to tha Choppa is a shallow point-rush game with the depth and cosmetic values of a simple flash game.	1.5/5
	Silent Hill: Homecoming review (X360) Reviewed on May 10, 2010 Shepherd’s Glen looked every bit the next-gen reincarnation of Silent Hill, then new protagonist Alex Shepherd turns up in his surplus army coat, frizzy hair and a rugged stubble beard, looks you deep in the eyes and proclaims in a bold, confident voice “I’ve completely missed the point!”	2.5/5
	Enchanted Arms review (X360) Reviewed on May 03, 2010 First impressions can be misleading. Sometimes purposefully so.	4/5
	Sam & Max: The Penal Zone review (PC) Reviewed on April 24, 2010 If there was ever any doubt that Telltale were anything but borderline insane, then the first ten minutes of Sam & Max: The Penal Zone put that firmly to bed.	4.5/5
	Nostalgia review (DS) Reviewed on April 10, 2010 It’s nice to just pick up an RPG that doesn’t have you sitting through hours of pretentious dribble about how Villain X used to be valiant and brave until Fate stepped in and cock-slapped them, and play it.	4/5
	Light's End review (X360) Reviewed on April 02, 2010 This mechanic lends Light’s End a unique feel; there’s no battle engine to be found or any statistics to build; it’s purely a character-based puzzler where you need to jump from differing perspectives throughout the game to keep the story moving along.	4/5
