Dungeon Siege II: Broken World Review (PC)

By Warren Dunlop () - 6.6 out of 10

Note to self: If current planet proceeds in a fury of demolishment, make an expansion. The Dungeon Siege saga rages back to the "broken" land of Arrana to pick up what little the second to the plot left off. DSII: Broken World has a new race, new classes, new items and other content, but getting to the new foe isn't much of an interesting quest in itself. Read More.

Evidence: The Last Ritual Review (PC)

By Lindsay Steele () - 9.3 out of 10

When you first glance at Evidence, the game comes encased in a plastic bag marked "EVIDENCE", just like those you'd find on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, or any of other mainstream crime show. The packaging itself is intriguing and makes you want to play. After installing the first three discs and inserting the play disc, your monitor screen goes black and the logo for the group trying to capture the Phoenix, a serial killer that has been around for years, appears on your screen.

El Matador Review (PC)

By Jason Murphy () - 7.0 out of 10

When we previewed El Matador at E3 this year, the game looked sharp. Not only was it a visually appealing third-person action game, but it was targeted at gamers of all kinds. From the casual player to the more advanced, the game promised to provide an exciting experience for all. Read More.

Ford Bold Moves Street Racing Review (Xbox)

By Warren Dunlop () - 4.0 out of 10

Do you have innovation? Do you have style? Do you have ideas to bring to the racing genre table? Please, oh please, could you submit your resume to Ford. This game is flat out boring, which isn't a very bold move at all. Unchallenging, uninteresting, unfulfilling, unrealistic, and unsatisfactory, Ford seems to have sponsored a title with many great concepts, but with a bad execution. Read More.

Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged Volume 1 Review (X360)

By Stephane Petit-Clerc () - 7.1 out of 10

One of the great ideas spawned on the Xbox and carried over to the 360 and the Xbox Live Marketplace was the Live Arcade. The idea of being able to take a break from traditional games and just play some mindless rounds of something simple to kill a few minutes (or hours) here and there was a godsend. Read More.

The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy Review (PS2)

By Nicholas Bale () - 6.8 out of 10

When I was told I'd be reviewing The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, a game based on a cartoon that I've only seen a few times, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Not having much background on the game, I was preparing myself for a platformer of sorts, but what I didn't really expect was a 1-to-4 player brawler. Read More.

Company of Heroes Review (PC)

By Nicholas Bale () - 9.6 out of 10

Men know that wars are not won by one solider alone. It is the combined acts of many, working together, that bring the battle to an end. Similarly, victory isn't achieved by sending soldiers blindly to their deaths; it's accomplished by making the right choices, recognizing tactical advantages, and deploying your resources strategically.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Review (PC)

By Nicholas Bale () - 7.5 out of 10

There's a lot to say about Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. It tries to do a lot of things at once using a powerful engine, but unfortunately can not seem to accomplish all of its tasks. What's left, however, is a fairly enjoyable game that just needs to be tweaked to make it much more. Read More.

Gangs of London Review (PSP)

By Ed Gougeon () - 5.0 out of 10

Gangs of London on the outside looks a lot like something you'd expect from a company like Rockstar, it has all the feels of a free-roaming game like the Grand Theft Auto series, with a few new twists. However, this one isn't nearly as much fun. Developed by SCEE's London Studio, Gangs of London suffers from poor planning, repetitive missions, and mundane gameplay. Read More.

Enchanted Arms Review (X360)

By Matt Felske () - 7.5 out of 10

If someone asked you which role playing game is the most popular, chances are that if you're even somewhat literate in the ways of RPG's than your first thought would be the Final Fantasy series. Best known for their story line and balanced role playing strategy, Square Enix games are almost impossible to forget. Read More.

LocoRoco Review (PSP)

By Stephane Petit-Clerc () - 9.0 out of 10

How often can you say this about a videogame: It made me smile? Well, LocoRoco made me smile. It's that kind of videogame. There's something infectious about it that makes you keep playing it, smiling the whole time. It's not hard, it's not long, it's not going to change the world or anything, but it's a breath of fresh air and it can easily be enjoyed by anyone. Read More.

Final Fantasy XII Review (PS2)

By Eduardo Araujo () - 9.5 out of 10

The PlayStation 2 certainly has no shortage of titles to offer when it comes to the RPG genre. And Final Fantasy is king among the hardcore role-playing crowd. Every Final Fantasy has an exquisite amount of quality in every aspect, be it music or graphics. Every single game in the series features a fantastical storyline that delivers an epic adventure from start to finish. Read More.

Battlefield 2142 Review (PC)

By Alan Palmer () - 8.3 out of 10

In the year 2142 the glaciers of the next ice age will slowly begin to creep across the northern hemisphere, causing a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable proportions. As the European Union evacuates its population ever further south the Pan-Asian Coalition seizes the opportunity created by the crisis to launch an all out invasion to seize prime real estate for their own shivering masses.
