    Aliens vs. Predator
    For the fans that AvP was very obviously made for, however, the high production values, attention to the universe’s detail and generally smooth gameplay make it a worthy addition to the franchise.

    Aliens vs. Predator
    Rebellion had the right idea with AvP, but they just didn't fit all the pieces together properly.

    Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
    Not only has it established a winning cast of characters, and a formula for fun-packed gameplay, its latest title, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth shows that there are still lots of ways both cast and formula can be effectively improved and expanded upon.

    Crime Scene
    Crime Scene is an interesting game undermined by frequent bouts of poor interactivity.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    BioShock 2
    A thrilling story, inspired new characters and environments, refined gameplay and yes, even the multi-player, make diving back into the Atlantic an easy decision.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    BioShock 2
    Sure, it's all here, but we've seen it before. BioShock 2 manages to pull through with superior action, though, and despite its problems, it still makes for a damn great game.

    Dante's Inferno
    There are a lot of interesting things about Dante's Inferno. Unfortunately, these positive elements are somewhat undermined by a sketchy camera, an unintuitive right thumbstick control, an excess of unnecessary falling deaths, a series of frustrating timed puzzles, and a default difficulty level that's higher than it probably should be.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
    For anyone who loves STALKER, it's hard to find a reason not to pick this one up. It offers the same free-roaming first person shooter action we've seen before with its signature foreboding atmosphere and a couple of new surprises.

    White Knight Chronicles International Edition
    While much care was taken to create a complex story and extensive artwork to support it, repetitive combat mechanics, tedious level design and exclusionary side quests undermine story and aesthetics, resulting in an uneven RPG experience.
    • 96 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Mass Effect 2
    Mass Effect 2 is easily one of the most compelling, exciting and emotionally affecting interactive experiences you’ll ever have.
    • 94 Metascore

    Mass Effect 2
    Mass Effect 2 delivers a story that's deeper than what many novelists are capable of, and its action is better than what most Hollywood directors are creating nowadays. It's an addictive, engrossing experience that many gamers will replay over and over while they hold their breath waiting for the third game.

    No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
    This is not a game for Wii Fit-playing soccer moms. However, if you dug Travis' first blood-soaked spree, consider yourself a "gamer's" gamer, or just want to experience a Wii-enabled fever dream, then, by all means, take the Suda 51 express to crazy-town.

    • 92 Critic Score
    Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
    Aside from these small issues, though, Tatsunoko’s one of the best you’re going to find as far as current fighting games go, and is without question the best available for the Wii.
    • 59 Metascore

    Dark Void
    It's certainly flawed, especially when it's trying to be a third-person shooter, but it also has lots of great ideas. It will surprise you sometimes, but mostly it'll leave you feeling like it could have been so much more.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond
    XBLA and PSN are probably the right place for Matt Hazard to be, but with this entry clocking in at $15, it's hard to recommend it for all of its missed opportunities and ho-hum action. Maybe next time, Matt!
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Darksiders
    Despite a couple of strange mechanical issues and a handful of bugs, Darksiders is a significant accomplishment, even for a well-established company. For a new one like Vigil to pull it off is impressive indeed.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Bayonetta
    Sexual overtones or not, there’s never been anything quite like Bayonetta.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
    It may not be the huge, serious undertaking we’ve generally come to expect from most Square games, but Crystal Bearers is still an entertaining and worthwhile investment (it’s also one of the prettiest Wii games yet), particularly for the more casual FF fan
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Saboteur
    Despite a few issues with reluctant AI and somewhat clunky platforming, The Saboteur stylishly proves that the genre of open world action-adventure is considerably bigger than GTA.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
    Shattered Memories is in some ways a true return to form for the series, although with recent news of Akira Yamaoka—whose music and vision has consistently defined the series—leaving Konami, it may be the last true Silent Hill game, period.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
    Like previous offerings in the revered franchise, it brings plenty of new bells and whistles, but is still a mostly recognizable Zelda game at its core.
    • 28 Metascore
    • 18 Critic Score
    Rogue Warrior
    I feel bad for Marcinko—if the man really did stop the Cold War from escalating in 1986, he probably deserves a better game than this. Then again, when a man who could’ve possibly saved the world from a fate of mutually assured destruction is being honored with a video game, that may in fact be a dubious statement in and of itself.

    James Cameron's Avatar: The Game
    I recommend this one only for fans of the movie—and only after the price is cut in half.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Tekken 6
    The Tekken series of fighting games went a little off the deep end years ago and hasn't really improved the situation with recent revisions, but they do know how to make a slick PSP port with incredible graphics and smooth gameplay.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
    In essence, what the game may lack in exposition or narrative complexity it makes up for in nostalgic capital, a refined weapons system and a classic Resident Evil feel
    • 47 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Tony Hawk Ride
    If you enjoyed any of the Wii's boarding games, and are looking to take it to the next level, you'll have a trick-fueled blast with RIDE. If you prefer strict accuracy driven by analog sticks and buttons, however, stay far away from this one, lest your frustration finds you impaling your HDTV with RIDE's faux skateboard.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Left 4 Dead 2
    Left 4 Dead 2 contains everything that made the first game great and so much more.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    LittleBigPlanet
    The game is fun enough, most of the time, if made up of content that’s a tad more forgettable than the original.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    God of War Collection
    Whether you've already played the originals, or are yet to discover one of gaming's best action franchises, this one's not to be missed. May the gods have mercy on your soul if you pass it up.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Gratuitous Space Battles
    Gratuitous Space Battles isn't for everyone, as its brand of strategy is entirely weighted towards the setup phase - and the execution is almost completely hands-off. Still, the prospect of building your own ships and using your own unique combinations of general strategies and offensive and defensive loadouts is very compelling for anyone who is a sci-fi space battle enthusiast.
