	Everblue review (PS2) Reviewed on July 12, 2011 You start the game as Leo, a rookie diver on the Caribbean island of Daedalus with this mysterious death in the back of your mind, and a lot to learn about diving.
	WWF No Mercy review (N64) Reviewed on July 10, 2011 It is a timeless wrestling game -- one with a still faithful following, one with a generation of devotees steadfast that it has not yet been eclipsed -- that reminds us how mortal we are.
	Wing Arms review (SAT) Reviewed on July 10, 2011 When I play an aerial combat game, I expect a whole lot of Pew! action. You know, here a Pew! There a Pew! Everywhere a Pew! Pew! We all do.
	Zapper review (GCN) Reviewed on July 07, 2011 Zapper seldom has any interesting or impressive scenes. You do much the same on every level, perform the same jumps, dodge the same traps, kill the same enemies, and even discover the same secret areas.
	Portal review (PC) Reviewed on July 04, 2011 Valve doesn’t just do original game-play. The game-play may make a game good, but the experience and overall package make it great. Valve have created a breath of fresh air using many ideas from Half-Life. The protagonist remains quiet and can only be seen through portals, and the ambience of a science facility draws many parallels to Black Mesa.
	Switchball review (PS3) Reviewed on July 03, 2011 With uninteresting puzzles and gameplay, Switchball becomes little more than a game of struggling against awkward controls and heavy eyelids. It's very relaxing, but that's the trouble. It's too relaxing.
	Red Faction: Armageddon review (PC) Reviewed on July 01, 2011 Armageddon takes the core elements that attracted all of us to the series in the first place and combines them to create a solid game that series fans can't afford to miss.
	Fossil Fighters review (DS) Reviewed on June 30, 2011 The hammer chips and softens the tough outer layer of the fossil rock while the drill carefully cleans away the remaining sediment without obliterating the delicate skeleton underneath. Upgrades give you stronger versions of these tools, but because of their strength, your chances of breaking certain bones are much greater.
	Area 51 review (ARC) Reviewed on June 30, 2011 It feels like Atari and Midway both invested most of their developing power into the graphics. At the time they were state of the art. Seeing realistic faces in a videogame that wasn't an interactive movie was a game nerd's wet dream. Seeing it put into effect was neat at the time, and it easily distracted people from the fact that Area 51 offered little more than repetitive action. However, such graphics didn't age well. Splicing the real world with semi-rendered environments looks ...
	Dungeon Siege III review (PS3) Reviewed on June 27, 2011 (...)That the animation and fighting stances are easy to to look at, as well as entertaining to play with helps as well. It is fun, it is interesting - and I'm buggered about it because it's so easy to have the deep group-dynamics that took weeks of perfection to accomplish - in other, more cumbersomely designed role-playing games.
	Bloody Wolf review (TG16) Reviewed on June 27, 2011 Enemies don't hit the ground and flash when they die. They grasp the gory open wound, take a moment to examine the blood on their hand, then thrust the hand toward the sky as if cursing their creator for fating them to cross paths with you. It's one of the many ways Bloody Wolf strokes your ego. Playing as a muscle-bound commando badass on a motorcycle apparently isn't enough of an ego boost.
	Courier Crisis review (SAT) Reviewed on June 26, 2011 Bluberry, The Legendary Reviewer, responsible for penning masterpiece reviews for such games as Ninety-Nine Nights, once joked that some development team should make a game about bicycle couriers. Imagine the shock when I told him a game like that has been in existence for well over a decade.
	Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage review (PS3) Reviewed on June 26, 2011 Fist is essentially a Koei Dynasty Warriors game [...] in a Hokuto No Ken skin.
	Duke Nukem Forever review (X360) Reviewed on June 25, 2011 The game’s steadily ramping barrage of obnoxious design choices almost feels like an endurance test as you inch closer to finishing the game. “Oh yeah?” the developers seem to say. “Well, how would you like a platforming sequence with an electrified floor? What about a boss that spawns smaller enemies indefinitely? How about an underwater level with clumsy controls and distorted vision, in which you have to keep constant tabs on your oxygen supply? How about an underwater boss?"
	F.3.A.R. review (X360) Reviewed on June 25, 2011 It is said that F.E.A.R can drive men mad, causing them to think and act irrationally. Developed by Day 1 Studios, the newly released F.3.A.R sets out to resurrect the very sense of the title. Unfortunately, F.E.A.R. 3 misses as a horror game, lacking in the fundamental element of effective scare. Players expecting to lay awake at night with a light on and closet door closed will greatly be disappointed. The inability to scare the player significantly hurts the game play, since after all the te...
	L.A. Noire review (X360) Reviewed on June 25, 2011 It’s all about the contrast. The best way to describe the appeal of film-noir, as I find it, is in the stark dichotomy between black and white – the dissimilarity of things. The most striking aspect of the films is in the way the lighting might reflect the softness of the female lead in juxtaposition to the rigid features of her male counterpart, the way the lines of their faces are more defined than the films that came before. On the verge of being overproduced, L.A. Noire takes strides in brin...
	Castlevania review (NES) Reviewed on June 23, 2011 Zombies? Killer bats? Out-of-place panthers? Screw that, it's the candles Simon hated, and yet he eventually grew to love. Only by destroying them could he find random weapons and the sliced-out human hearts needed to give him the strength to throw said weapons. You see, Simon also hates close combat. He likes his space, and doesn't like murderous and nightmarish creatures penetrating his bubble. He'd rather throw a knife than stab a zombie, or toss an axe in an arc than chop down a harpy.
	Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 review (PS2) Reviewed on June 23, 2011 If someone were to ask me what I thought the most fulfilling game I’ve ever played was, I would tell them that without a doubt it is Persona 4. Persona 4 is far and away the most fleshed out and satisfying RPG I have ever played in just about every single way. Categorically speaking this game is flawless.
	BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II review (3DS) Reviewed on June 20, 2011 While it might not be as good as the originals, Continuum Shift II is still a fight worth having.
	Zombie Shooter review (PC) Reviewed on June 20, 2011 Believe me, you will be tested. Many of the zombies do major damage, especially a certain pink type that shoots lasers. You won't, however, find the challenge ridiculous or completely unfair. The destructive power of your weaponry and plentiful ammo keep you in the game long enough to enjoy the destruction.
