Available Reviews
	Urban Chaos: Riot Response review (XBX) Reviewed on February 29, 2012 Rocksteady Studios takes the concept of a city under siege and runs with it, no apologizes included. This first-person shooter is a pure action title all the way, providing a nearly non-stop, hot-blooded, M rated adrenaline rush from start to finish.
	Incredible Crisis review (PSX) Reviewed on February 29, 2012 Incredible Crisis seeks to challenge, but not utterly destroy you. The stressful scenes are few and far between, and the zany story and intense mini-games are enough to stave off the usual bout of high blood pressure that most challenging titles conjure. It would rather see you snickering while wearing your best WTF face. What else would a game featuring giant possessed teddy bears, bank robbers dressed up like wolves, a shrinking chubby kid, and oodles of film references expect of you...
	Twisted Metal review (PS3) Reviewed on February 28, 2012 Twisted Metal: PS3 is the kind of game that you'll know whether you'll like long before you play it. In fact, right now, you probably already have an idea of whether or not it's the game for you. The reasons for this are simple: Twisted Metal knows what it's about and it focuses on doing that one thing really well. Therefore, if you like vehicular arena battles, you'll like- or quite possibly love- Twisted Metal.
	BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND review (PS3) Reviewed on February 27, 2012 Extend might not be original, but it is built upon the best.
	Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D review (3DS) Reviewed on February 27, 2012 One of the best games ever made is back, and now it’s in the palm of your hand.
	The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim review (PC) Reviewed on February 27, 2012 The main plotline is haunted by a sense of wonder and is graced by many (scripted) scenes that are bound to be remembered as some of the most memorable scenes in gaming: the first dragon hunt at the Whiterun guard tower; the reading of the Elder Scroll on the mountaintop; the dragon trapping in Dragonreach; the greeting and cheering of a dozen flying dragons after the final battle.
	Rule of Rose review (PS2) Reviewed on February 27, 2012 While coming on strongly like a survival horror title, Rule of Rose nods to some of the genre's mechanical demands in an almost obligatory fashion, being basic at the basics and downright bad at combat. The game's power and meaning are instead invested in atypical areas; in a weird and chronologically difficult mystery story, in its transgressive subject matter and in the wide range of moods the game is able to conjure up.
	Dino Rex review (ARC) Reviewed on February 26, 2012 Dino Rex is a cruel king. It's uncompromising in difficulty and relentless in its quest to rip you apart. Make one mistake and your opponent is all over you, cheesing you with the most difficult moves and connecting with ease. It makes itself look so easy that you wonder what you're doing wrong. Even as your dino struggles to its feet, the game continues and eventually concludes its merciless onslaught with an unbreakable chain of attacks.
	Undercover Cops review (ARC) Reviewed on February 26, 2012 Now, I don't know what the game's title, Undercover Cops, has to do with anything, since this Irem beat 'em up have zero situations that involve going under a different identity. Would've made for a humorous bonus stage, though. Thankfully, we don't play games in this particular genre for logic, and to my delight, the developers made sure to toss gamers into absurd circumstances, as has been noted with Mr. Fire Crotch.
	Alan Wake's American Nightmare review (X360) Reviewed on February 25, 2012 While there’s still undeniably appeal in the Alan Wake franchise – the story is interesting for those players willing to read between the lines, and the combat is still a blast in moderation – American Nightmare is an underwhelming follow-up that simultaneously feels abbreviated and spread too thin.
	WipEout 2048 review (VITA) Reviewed on February 25, 2012 While so much of the game remains the same as it ever was, it’s no bad thing. What’s the point in reinventing the wheel when you can instead buff it to a gleaming neon shine then have it whirl off at 220mph.
	Pokemon Stadium review (N64) Reviewed on February 23, 2012 If you ever were able to recite all of the original 151 Pokémon from memory, this game is for you. If you ever got into an argument over whether Scyther or Pinsir is the better Bug Pokémon, this is the game for you. If the first Pokémon movie made you cry, this is the game for you. However, if you're still learning the ins and outs of Pokémon, try something else.
	Sonic Colors review (WII) Reviewed on February 19, 2012 Whew, that was close.
	18-Wheeler American Pro Trucker review (DC) Reviewed on February 19, 2012 A game about big rigs? 18 wheelers driving across the United States of America? There's been plenty of unusual titles before this game's time, but still, it's not a premise you think would show up in a video game. Then again, it was made by Sega, a company that managed to turn taxi driving into a crazy activity, so if there's anyone that could make truck racing interesting, it's them.
	Pokémon Rumble Blast review (3DS) Reviewed on February 16, 2012 Want to beat up Toy Pokemon? This may be a game for you then!
	Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus review (PS2) Reviewed on February 16, 2012 While Sly Cooper occasionally shows glimpses of stealth, it just doesn't do enough to be called a stealth game. It's a decent action game, and a very good platformer. But, a stealth game, it isn't.
	TNN Motorsports Hardcore Heat review (DC) Reviewed on February 15, 2012 When the Dreamcast was released in the U.S. on September 9, 1999, it had a bevy of varied launch games to back it up. Some were titles everyone knew and had to get, like SoulCalibur and Sonic Adventure, then there were the rest, the "second choices" that spanned many genres: action, racing, sports, and so on. It was easy to get lost in the shuffle, fallen to obscurity, and it happened with quite a few. Hardcore Heat was such a GD-ROM, an off road-ish racing game of the arcadey kind.
	Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters review (NES) Reviewed on February 15, 2012 Welcome to Godzilla 2, where every mission is a tedious uphill struggle against a collection of nearly undefeatable colossi. Not unless you want a jaw-jacking challenge with little reward will you find this game entertaining. The first mission will be enough to convince most to stop playing all together and forget that Toho ever developed their own Godzilla game.
	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 (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.
