	Homefront review (PS3) Reviewed on February 14, 2012 I stopped expecting First Person Shooters to be marathon slogs a long time ago, but I don’t think I’m ready to expect them to stop being good.
	Final Fantasy XIII-2 review (PS3) Reviewed on February 14, 2012 There seem to be many who think that just because a game has high production costs it should automatically have a grade of average or higher, especially when it comes from Square Enix. But people should have learned by now that high production values do not make a good game. Competent script writing and involving gameplay have been sacrificed once again for pretty graphics.
	Dear Esther review (PC) Reviewed on February 14, 2012 Dear Esther is barely a videogame by any conventional sense of the term and approaching it like one will lead to nothing but frustration. But if you're lucky, it clicks, not as a game but as a powerful and moving emotional experience.
	Final Fantasy XIII-2 review (X360) Reviewed on February 12, 2012 I’ve now wasted 60 hours of my life on FFXIII-2. I’ve found all of the fragments, earned all of the achievements, and seen all of the endings. I know this game inside-out. I know it better than many of the people who like it. No one could accuse me of not giving it a fair chance. And yet every effort I made to find value in it was unceremoniously shot down.
	Sega Classics Collection review (PS2) Reviewed on February 10, 2012 Easily one of the most deceiving titles ever, Sega Classics Collection does include an array of old-school Sega games, sure, but, besides an exception, the games featured are not the original versions. The titles in this compilation were first released individually in Japan as part of the Sega Ages budget line for the PlayStation 2, which lasted for five years and had a total of 33 volumes, though, at the time of this collection's launch, only 17 were available.
	The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim review (X360) Reviewed on February 10, 2012 It's the sort of fantasy epic that perfectly matches the game's barbarian choir musical intro and the constant array of thick nordic voices exhorting you to fight for your country. Still, it was dozens upon dozens of hours before any of this main quest work was done for any reason other than me randomly wandering somewhere I was supposed to be.
	Tales of Phantasia review (GBA) Reviewed on February 10, 2012 One word: Kangaroo
	Final Fantasy XIII-2 review (PS3) Reviewed on February 08, 2012 Why didn’t Square just make Lightning a pop singer and call it a day?
	White Knight Chronicles: International Edition review (PS3) Reviewed on February 08, 2012 White Knight Chronicles would have been better had Level 5 focused on creating an entertaining single player game with an engrossing story, and then marketed the online components as a separate title. The developers spread their attention on each aspect too thin, and crafted a mediocre addition to the J-RPG library with a ho-hum story.
	SoulCalibur V review (PS3) Reviewed on February 07, 2012 Depending on what you expect from a SoulCalibur game, SoulCalibur V may either be the best game in the series, or the worst.
	Dragon Wars review (APP2) Reviewed on February 06, 2012 Bard's Tale IV never came--in name, anyway. It took a couple times through Dragon Wars (DW) for me to see I'd found something as good.
	SoulCalibur V review (PS3) Reviewed on February 06, 2012 It’s got a lot of great ideas, but ultimately falls short of its potential.
	F-Zero GX review (GCN) Reviewed on February 05, 2012 F-Zero GX is an extreme game. Extremely difficult, extremely gorgeous, extremely fast, extremely deep roster, extremely bad voice acting, and extremely fun.
	The Simpsons Arcade Game review (X360) Reviewed on February 04, 2012 Certainly, you’ll see a large number of recycled goons, but the variety is still impressive considering the game’s era. There are pot-bellied businessmen, women with afros, ninja warriors, ghosts and lanky janitors, among others. New stages always have a new threat or two, and even familiar adversaries will mix things up by bringing weapons to the brawl. You can do the same thing yourself.
	Quarrel review (X360) Reviewed on February 04, 2012 I know what you're thinking: "Just what we needed, another Xbox Live word game..." Well, cheer up, because Quarrel isn't your average Scrabble clone. It's a charming combination of word unscrambling and turn-based strategy warfare. Wait, wha-? No, you didn’t read that wrong; in Quarrel your goal is to control all of the territories on the game board using the unstoppable force of your Word IQ.
	Star Ocean: The Last Hope review (X360) Reviewed on February 03, 2012 The Bonus Board isn't permanent, though, as if an enemy whacks the character you're controlling with a critical hit, you'll watch a number of your bonuses dissipate. I had a knack for killing stuff with critical hits, so at times, I'd be getting at least an additional 100 percent experience. One of those hard hits against me and it was down to 50 percent and I'd have to build my board back to its former glory (or take another couple critical hits and have to start from scratch).
	Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door review (GCN) Reviewed on February 02, 2012 The first Paper Mario was an unexpected gem released at the end of the Nintendo 64 lifespan. And the third installment felt less like an RPG, and more like yet another Mario platformer. But, to this day, I still hold the second game in the series, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door as one of the best games ever.
	Pushmo review (3DS) Reviewed on January 31, 2012 Like Mario in Donkey Kong the hero can leap only a short distance, so a lot of pulling is necessary if he’s going to scale some of the larger puzzles. It starts to feel almost like you’re building your own platformer as you go, which could easily become frustrating except that you can undo the last 15 seconds or so of play by holding the L button to rewind your actions, as in a Prince of Persia title.
	Medal of Honor: Airborne review (X360) Reviewed on January 31, 2012 There’s plenty to complain about with Medal of Honor: Airborne. There’s simply even more still to appreciate.
	Pokemon Snap review (N64) Reviewed on January 28, 2012 I watched the TV series, I got the games, I collected the cards, I played with the toys, I read the books, and I went to see the movies. (The first movie is still one of the only movies that ever made me cry, and DON'T PRETEND LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.) And even though I missed out on Hey You, Pikachu (oh dear?), I was able to get the other non-RPG N64 Pokémon game, Pokémon Snap.
