	White Knight Chronicles II review (PS3) Reviewed on June 18, 2011 (...)Huge monsters and fire-breathing clowns trample the castle halls, events become far too epic for the Royal Castle Guard to handle. And finally the huge Armor chained to the wall in the Castle's treasure vault springs to life and saves the day thanks to a little upstart from the merchant's quarter. Cyrus the Knight does not feel good about this.
	Girls They Want to Have Fun review (C64) Reviewed on June 16, 2011 It's arguable as to whether or not Girls is even a game. You only perform one action, it lasts twenty seconds, and that's it. I'm not a fan of porno games, but I think any actual fan want much more than just a single screen and something they can see in any standard porno mag. Girls doesn't offer any real fun, and it's barely a game. It's just a masturbation simulator.
	Sonic Colors review (WII) Reviewed on June 14, 2011 It's taken a decade, but it's worth it.
	Ikari Warriors II: Victory Road review (NES) Reviewed on June 13, 2011 Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
	L.A. Noire review (X360) Reviewed on June 11, 2011 What a big, overlong miscalculation L.A. Noire is. It has the ingredients of an engaging detective game but then hastily shoves them aside in favor of drama, and it has a tight script and the best motion capture work in the business, all to present a story that’s meandering, unfocused, and anticlimactic. L.A. Noire’s plot and gameplay both seem to exist to service the other, and neither works.
	Gunblade NY & L.A. Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack review (WII) Reviewed on June 11, 2011 With Sega releasing a light-gun title on the Wii at nearly a yearly rate, you'd think a Virtua Cop collection would be inevitable. Instead, Wii owners get blindsided by one of the most unexpected releases ever: Gunblade NY and L.A. Machineguns on one disc.
	Mass Effect 2 review (X360) Reviewed on June 10, 2011 Mass Effect 2 is remarkable for being perhaps the best existing example of How To Do A Videogame Sequel Correctly.
	Saints Row 2 review (X360) Reviewed on June 10, 2011 But then Volition did something that a lot of developers with flawed games fail to do: created a sequel that not only addressed the “if onlies”, but expanded on the game as a whole. Saints Row 2 brings the noise.
	Legend of the Ghost Lion review (NES) Reviewed on June 07, 2011 Maria's parents never came home. Rather than crying about it, Maria grabbed an ancient spear containing the spirit of an African warrior and embarked on a mission to find them. Her odyssey nearly ended when she fell off a bridge into an icy river. Some might argue that she drowned and what she's seeing in Legend of the Ghost Lion is the afterlife. But is it heaven or hell? What kind of afterlife is packed with fairies, cuteness, goblins, werewolves, moderately useful spirits that inh...
	Iron Man review (DS) Reviewed on June 04, 2011 SEGA built this game in a cave...with a box of scraps...
	Final Fantasy IV: The After Years review (WII) Reviewed on June 04, 2011 This is what happens when you stretch a story out longer than it needs to be.
	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
