It’s the best game you’ll play on this generation’s console platforms, I don’t think there’s anything else left to say.

While not the super-strategic romp some of you were expecting, Spartan: Total Warrior delivers the goods if you’re looking for a solid chunk of challenging action from start to finish.

I only wish that Namco would have allowed customizing a character’s move set in the character customization.

It’ll push your rigs to its limits, and when it does, you’ll know why Call of Duty 2 is one of the most visceral, exciting, and blisteringly addictive experiences in gaming ever.

One of the five best shooters to ever hit the PlayStation 2. Now, that may not be saying much due to a giant lack of good shooters on the PS2, but in retaliation, Deadlocked is possibly one of the five best shooters on any console!

The absolute best thing about Civilization IV is that previous experience with the series (or strategy games for that matter) isn’t necessary.

Though the adventure is ridiculously short and there's not much of a plot to get behind, Gunstar Super Heroes through both its supreme gameplay and technical achievements is simply too brilliant and addictive a game to ignore.

Same killer and addictive online gameplay you’d expect from Battlefield.

Despite the new control scheme and a minor technical glitch here or there, once you’ve gotten past these idiosyncrasies you’re left with a truly engaging title with plenty of content to keep you recharging your PSP’s batteries time and time again.

Video game pinball doesn’t get any better than what Nintendo and Fuse Games have put together in Metroid Prime Pinball.

It should be noted that this is an entirely different game from what you'll find on the console or PC, so those expecting this to be a mere portable version of the classic Sims gameplay may be disappointed. If you can get past that hurdle though, you should find that this version has plenty of content to keep you occupied for hours on end.

Eerie, deeply disturbing and wonderfully designed for maximum emotional effectiveness, the game has a way of getting under your skin and taking root, drawing on your own fears and putting forth leaves and fruit that amplify the experience.

As a DDR and all around dancing game beginner myself, the accessible approach to DDR: Mario Mix hooked me more than any of the other games in the series.

A fantastic adventure that really draws the player into an emotional story with dramatic gameplay. The colossi battles are the greatest 16 boss battles you’ll ever play, and the later colossi really test your wits and patience.

A moderately entertaining handheld platformer with pleasant audiovisual elements and interesting uses of the DS’s touch screen that, sadly enough, shoots itself in the foot with a far too simplified setup and only one woefully short-lived play mode.
