Samurai Shodown II Review (X360)

By Daniel Acaba () - 6.0 out of 10

Anyone who remembers the good ol' days of the arcade likely has fond memories of the Samurai Shodown series. This series was a staple of just about any arcade and plenty of pizzerias and it was incredibly innovative for its time. While the first game was simply a Street Fighter clone with swords and blood, the sequels were actually quite innovative. Read More.

Soul Bubbles Review (DS)

By Baldwin Tong () - 6.8 out of 10

A round of applause for the new kids on the block. No, not that boy-band from the 90's, but for Mekensleep, the independent developer of Soul Bubbles, a puzzle game published by Eidos Interactive for the Nintendo DS. It is a solid first effort packed with innovative design and gameplay. Read More.

Valhalla Knights 2 Review (PSP)

By Daniel Acaba () - 5.5 out of 10

It's a rare occasion that, as a game critic, you find yourself not really sure of just what to make of a game you're playing. What's the point where a game is being unreasonably difficult? Where do you draw the line between difficult mission objectives or developers are forcing you to stick to one particular solution? Read More.

Call of Duty: World at War Review (PS3)

By Andrew Sztein () - 7.5 out of 10

Any shooter fan worth their weight in M1 Garands has been through World War II at least a couple of times throughout their gaming career. The genre has been one of the most popular settings for a shooter since the glory days of Wolfenstein 3D on DOS. Granted, things have gotten grittier, more realistic, and more intense since the days we took on Mecha-Hitler with our trusty chainguns. Read More.

Mirror's Edge Review (X360)

By Daniel Acaba () - 8.5 out of 10

Over the last few years, it's been a rare thing for Electronic Arts to really let loose and even attempt to start up a new game series. Lately, however, EA has begun making attempts to change that image by embracing new games. Army of Two, Boom Blox, and Dead Space are all good examples of this new mentality. Read More.

Spider Man: Web of Shadows Review (X360)

By Chris Moore () - 8.0 out of 10

Think back to Spider-Man 2: The Video Game. Back then, it was a first of its kind. The ability to swing anywhere and everywhere in a recreated New York City and solve random crimes; climb any building at any time and leap off them and swinging with great precision was almost everything a Spider-Man fan could have wanted. Read More.

The Continuum Review (PC)

By Michael Calva () - 8.2 out of 10

So, you see green orc-blood in your dreams. The whistle of a battle-axe cleaving a rival in two is music to your ears. You've played so many role-playing games that your fingers automatically go to their respective hotkeys even when you're simply typing an e-mail. Read More.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Review (PC)

By Nicholas Bale () - 7.8 out of 10

Sometimes, big fancy worlds and arcade-like games have their place. Sometimes you want to blaze through a slew of enemies as a Robocop-like unstoppable juggernaut that fears nothing but brings with him nothing but pain and carnage. Some times, however, you want to play a game where running forward blindly means getting killed. Read More.

Dead Space Review (X360)

By Andrew Sztein () - 9.4 out of 10

Karma is a bitch.

Order Up! Review (Wii)

By Nicholas Bale () - 8.0 out of 10

Order Up! Is a cooking-game-restaurant-time-management simulator. Sort of. There are more than a couple facets to the game, and despite its deceptively simple facade, there's a decent amount of gameplay hidden beneath its chef's hat. Read More.
