	Auto Assault review (PC) Reviewed on March 15, 2007 In most MMOs I usually solo 'til I can't solo no more. Since I had such a hefty goal set for myself in AA, however, I decided to team up with other players as much as possible -- not once did this happen. The player base is so low that I never ran into someone else my level who wanted to "convoy."
	Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 review (PSP) Reviewed on March 09, 2007 There were several occasions where I would shoot the ball, it would smack the goalie right in the head, launch into the air for several seconds, then—finally—he would stick his hands up, in some feeble attempt to block my shot, which he already did with his face
	SkiFree review (PC) Reviewed on March 08, 2007
	Sonic and the Secret Rings review (WII) Reviewed on March 05, 2007 There’s definitely room for refinement, but if you can tolerate the occasional moments where Sonic and the Secret Rings stumbles and stalls, you’ll find one of Sonic’s greatest adventures to date.
	Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 review (DS) Reviewed on March 04, 2007 A missed crosskick.
	The Mark review (PC) Reviewed on March 04, 2007 Not that the terrorists will use cover much; they much prefer to stand in the open beneath big neon arrows adorned with “Shoot Me!” in flashing electric pink. And so, you shoot them, as peace-keepers are wont to do, either mowing them down with Fletcher’s assault-rifle or blasting them with Hawke’s shotgun and watching them tumble bonelessly to the floor.
	Meteos: Disney Magic review (DS) Reviewed on March 01, 2007 There are familiar films like “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “The Little Mermaid,” but “Aladdin” and “Beauty and the Beast” and many others don’t make an appearance at all. At least those characters who do show up are represented well. You get neat little pseudo-animations, like Mulan riding a surfboard with Stitch or the fairy godmother getting ready to cast a spell.
	Deus Ex: The Conspiracy review (PS2) Reviewed on March 01, 2007 Establishing Cyberpunk Deus
	Grandia review (PSX) Reviewed on February 28, 2007 Grandia is one of the most clichéd RPGs ever made. It’s also one of the best. The key is execution.
	Dark Cloud 2 review (PS2) Reviewed on February 28, 2007 Even worse, many of these foes have holes in their AI large enough to drive the robotic Steve through. For example, those tiny dragons can be targeted from a distance and shot from long range AND unless their random flight pattern takes them a bit closer to Max or Monica, they won’t even notice they’re getting butchered.
	Dance Dance Revolution Universe review (X360) Reviewed on February 27, 2007 I appreciated being eased into the game, and as a result I was able to more fully soak in the Dance Dance Revolution experience. Konami took a risk by adding such simple songs right at the start, but it paid off.
	Rez review (PS2) Reviewed on February 26, 2007 ...it must be heard with a blur of the real to be seen with seamless clarity.
	Lunar Knights review (DS) Reviewed on February 26, 2007 Trapped in a never-ending night, humans have no choice but to be enslaved in the cities, or fight for survival on the fringes of society. Even in the darkest of times, one thing the human race can not be stripped of is hope.
	Sam & Max Episode 4 - Abe Lincoln Must Die review (PC) Reviewed on February 26, 2007 If the question was “did Taletale listen?” the answer offered by Abe Lincoln Must Die is “as much as they could".
	Twinkle Tale review (GEN) Reviewed on February 23, 2007 As soon as the girl enters that mountainous area of the first level, rocks start plummeting from the top of the screen. While they are easy to dodge, smart players may choose to not have their favorite weapon equipped during this section, as it could be quite damaging to blunder into a boulder and wind up weakened after this brief section. Because, with magic-firing mages and gigantic golems providing a gauntlet to pass before engaging in battle with the chimera that serves as the stage’s boss, being at top offensive capacity is definitely desirable.
	UFO: Afterlight review (PC) Reviewed on February 22, 2007 For a solid attempt and otherworldly genocide, things worked out great.
	Chulip review (PS2) Reviewed on February 21, 2007 You might not expect it from a game with kissing as its central theme, but Chulip will kick your butt if you’re not paying attention. Any time you try to smooch someone and fail, he or she slaps you and you lose some heart (your life meter). You start with four as your HP, and that rises every time you successfully kiss someone. Early on especially, you’re going to be seeing the ‘Game Over’ screen a lot.
	Super Columbine Massacre RPG! review (PC) Reviewed on February 20, 2007 You are not out to rescue a princess, stop an alien invasion, or save the world. You are Eric and Dylan, and today your classmates will die.
	Ecstatica review (PC) Reviewed on February 19, 2007 Unless you tread with absolute care, you'll be assaulted by a crazed werewolf, almost immediately. If your defenses are shaky, he will beat you to death then and there, in the first minute of your game. And I mean, he'll pummel you.
	Mazes of Fate review (GBA) Reviewed on February 18, 2007 MoF has a grand story of course, telling of mankind's greed and other sins against God, and of hatred nurtured between us and a race of goatmen. I can't say that the tale did anything for me other than give me a chuckle at the word 'goatmen', but it could be that fantasy fans live for this stuff.
