	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.
	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.
	SoulCalibur V review (PS3) Reviewed on February 06, 2012 It’s got a lot of great ideas, but ultimately falls short of its potential.
	Sonic CD review (PS3) Reviewed on December 31, 2011 Gameplay is another way in which Sonic CD doesn't meet the standard set by its more vanilla Genesis counterparts, though it doesn't fall nearly as short as it could have. Levels always have enough unique gimmicks to prevent them from blurring together in your memory. Each level effectively has four versions. By running past special posts, Sonic can travel through time and his actions in the past can change the future. This means that every level has a present version, past version, good future version, and bad future version (the good future is basically the bad future with fewer enemies). It's an interesting mechanic that can be used to keep things fresh for multiple playthroughs.
	Back to the Future: The Game review (PS3) Reviewed on December 26, 2011 Back to the Future: The Game basically tries to be a fourth Back to the Future movie, and it tries hard. Everything about this game is a reference to the movies. Some of the music from the movies is used in the soundtrack, there are plenty of references to all three films scattered around the game world, and even the box art follows the template used by the posters for all three films. Christopher Lloyd reassumes the role of Doc Brown, and Marty McFly is played by a new actor (named A.J. LaCascio) who does an amazing job. Seriously, he sounds so much like a young Michael J. Fox, it’s kind of eerie, especially in Episode 5 when Fox himself makes a cameo as one of Marty’s ancestors and the two characters have a conversation.
	Assassin's Creed review (PS3) Reviewed on December 24, 2011 It's unfortunate that you have to chew through the boredom to get to the meaty parts. Assassin's Creed has very about it that's exciting or worthwhile. What few scenes that are are sandwiched between tedious activities and repetition. Without these activities, the game is too short; with them, the thrill is so intermittent that it's difficult to stay excited even when you get to the meaty parts.
	Sports Champions review (PS3) Reviewed on December 22, 2011 Sports Champions features six games: disc golf, beach volleyball, archery, table tennis, gladiator duel and bocce. Each included option offers depth and precision. You'll have to work harder to get everything out of these offerings than you would if you were playing Wii Sports, but each one is more substantial than Nintendo's entire package. None of the activities are particularly imposing, either.
	Green Day: Rock Band review (PS3) Reviewed on December 14, 2011 Some of that personality is censored, unfortunately (or fortunately, if you're of the proper mind). When Harmonix released The Beatles: Rock Band, the company had the luxury of working with musical selections that the Vatican itself has endorsed. Green Day, in contrast, is comprised of three band members who like to talk about procreation in its most vulgar terms and who frequently protest organized religion and politics.
	Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection review (PS3) Reviewed on November 25, 2011 It was only a matter of time before Konami jumped on the HD remaster bandwagon started this generation by Sony with God of War Collection, and Konami picked the best candidate to go first. Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is a compilation no Metal Gear Solid fan should miss.
	Fallout 3 review (PS3) Reviewed on November 02, 2011 More than two years after its release, Fallout 3 remains as flawed as it is fun.
	Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception review (PS3) Reviewed on November 01, 2011 Uncharted 3 is mostly filler without gameplay. It's the modern equivalent of those full motion video games folks made back in the 90s when new CD-ROMs afforded all that storage space. So developers shot video footage, grafted it onto various games (usually puzzle collections), and a genre was born. Who cares whether there was an actual game in there?
	Blood Stone: 007 review (PS3) Reviewed on October 26, 2011 Bond has landed in a cover-based shooter and he's smart about it. If you put him behind a crate and an enemy is approaching his location, it's easy to creep to the edge, then duck around the side of the crate without standing up and exposing himself. Or if there's cover nearby, it's easy to roll to that cover and keep moving from there. The difference is in how long you hold down the appropriate button once you press it. The whole process quickly becomes second nature and feels a lot more natural than it did in similar titles.
	DeathSpank review (PS3) Reviewed on October 21, 2011 The sound of cold steel slicing through a demon's rough hide... The jangle of cash as it materializes in the vicinity of your enemy's corpse... The glory of a well-placed post-battle quip... and who can forget Justice! They're equal parts of what make DeathSpank an exhilarating action-RPG, one that boasts a generous amount of humor, action, and side quests.
	Dark Souls review (PS3) Reviewed on October 20, 2011 Dark Souls is one of the finest Zelda games you'll ever play that isn't actually a Zelda game. Don't miss it!
	Deus Ex: Human Revolution review (PS3) Reviewed on October 10, 2011 You are Adam Jensen, a retired police-man now in the employ of Detroit's largest corporation. Your previous effort in Detroit PD has enlightened you to the ways of the world. But also letting you see that as head of security of Sarif Industries, you are more free to help the town and investigate crimes than as a police-officer. Your method is still that of a good cop, however. Always preferring a non-violent and indirect approach. But it is difficult to convince Adam Jensen to look the other way...
	Bodycount review (PS3) Reviewed on September 15, 2011 Somewhere along the way, the vision for this game was lost and what remains is a jumbled, unsatisfying mess. There are good ideas here - the controls work very well and the core ideas the game calls on have potential. It's just very poorly conceived. Nothing really meshes together and I got the feeling that it was just put to market because they'd spent so much on it already and it was too expensive to try to salvage it. I can't really recommend Bodycount to anyone.
	El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron review (PS3) Reviewed on September 04, 2011 El Shaddai has a lot of interesting ideas, but it fails to fully implement them.
