Reviews
House at the End of the Street review (Movies)
This may not be the best horror flick to come along in recent memory, but it does feature some pleasant surprises.
Kirby's Dream Collection review (Wii)
Nintendo’s pink puffball celebrates 20 years of gaming awesomeness in what can only be called one heck of an anniversary compilation.
The Sims 3: Supernatural review (PC)
Though thoroughly enjoyable, this expansion to the popular life simulator may warrant some gripes from Sims purists.
Rayman Jungle Run review (iOS)
Ubisoft’s limbless hero delivers a genuinely enjoyable platforming/runner experience on iOS that’s just a sheer joy to play.
GridBlock review (iOS)
Offering up a worthwhile experience tailor made for the mobile platform, this puzzler definitely deserves the attention of iOS gamers.
End of Watch review (Movies)
Some great surprises, a defined attitude, and impressive storytelling plot elements make this cop flick worth watching.
La-Mulana review (Wii)
Many thought it wouldn’t happen, but the indie gem La-Mulana has landed on WiiWare, and it delivers a satisfying dose of retro-inspired awesomeness.
Fractured Soul review (3DS)
If you’re looking for a unique platforming experience on your 3DS, look no further than this eShop download.
The Secret World review (PC)
Despite some clever writing, this MMO doesn’t manage to offer up enough substantially enjoyable gameplay to keep it going for longer than a week.
Jet Set Radio HD review (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
Years after its Dreamcast debut, it’s great to see that a classic like Jet Set Radio can still deliver a rewarding experience.
Kinect Nat Geo TV review (Xbox 360)
Featuring interactivity between the Kinect and Nat Geo Wild episodes, this Xbox 360 title certainly allows for some fun family interaction.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD review (PC)
Sadly, age has not been kind to Tony Hawk. The game, not the actual person, of course.
Kinect Sesame Street TV review (Xbox 360)
If you’re looking for something to play with the kiddies, you can’t go wrong with this Kinect title.
Jack Lumber review (iOS)
Lighthearted and visually pleasing, this iOS time sink is also remarkably enjoyable, and it’s worthy of mobile gamers’ attention.
Borderlands 2 review (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
This worthy sequel to Geabox Software’s 2009 hit manages to reward players with incredible RPG/FPS gameplay and fantastic loot elements. It’s great to be back on Pandora!
Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit review (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
If you’re looking for an offbeat yet still highly enjoyable 2D platforming romp, Sega and Arkedo Studio have you covered.
Tokyo Jungle review (PS3)
One of the most unique titles to land on the PlayStation Network is also a refreshing and impressive game that’s worthy of your time and attention.
F1 2012 review (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
Codemasters brings Formula One racing fans one hell of a fast-paced racer with its latest project.
Realms of Ancient War review (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
Save your $15 and buy something else. This fantasy dungeon crawler is hardly worth the trouble.
Dead Or Alive 5 review (Xbox 360, PS3)
Team Ninja delivers the most balanced Dead or Alive title to date. Also, there’s a ridiculous amount of jiggle in this game.
Looper review (Movies)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis team up in what can best be described as a smart and rich sci-fi flick.
Way of the Samurai 4 review (PS3)
It’s not without a few flaws, but this samurai-themed action-adventure experience is hilarious and entertaining to play.
