    Homefront
    It features plenty of enemies, some pretty awesome locations, and a killer premise. Though the story falls flat about halfway through, and the game needs at least five more chapters to feel complete, you will have lots of fun in the short amount of time that you do have with the single player.

    Heroes of Mana
    The game has an excellent storyline, spanning a lengthy quest set in the Mana realm, and up to 40 bonus maps can be unlocked.

    LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
    Whatever its flaws, this game does a decent enough job of walking the line between sticking to the formula and mixing things up.

    Skylanders SuperChargers
    Regular adventuring is fun, but the second a player has to hop into a vehicle, it's a gamble as how good or bad the experience will be. If the vehicular elements were separate from the story and entirely optional, this would be the best entry in the series. But they're not and bring the rest of the game down.

    Crimson Dragon
    You have to have kind of an addictive personality to really get into it. A lot of the game is propelled forward by its grindy levels and progression system, and if this isn’t your thing, then you’ll likely get incredibly frustrated and just turn the game off to play more Killer Instinct.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Devil May Cry 4
    Its story, while not being complicated or particularly mysterious, remains fun and interesting enough to see you through to the end, which is saying something because it isn't what many would consider to be a short game. What Capcom has produced isn't the pinnacle of console-to-PC quality, but it isn't anything to be laughed at either.

    Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley
    Like all Harvest Moon games, there is considerable depth to the farming/livestock element, and the relationship sim aspects can add some replay value for committed individuals.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    NecroVisioN
    A satisfying shooter blood feast, if that’s what you’re looking for.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Unbound Saga
    The ten-dollar price tag also feels a bit steep for a game that doesn't have much else going for it, other than a customary multiplayer component. Five dollars would have fit like a glove. If you're a fan of brawlers and you decide to pick it up, your best bet would be to wait for a price drop.
    • 75 Metascore

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    Every remark, battle cry and slash looks, sounds, and feels authentic to these characters, especially Wolverine and Sabertooth. This game will definitely put you in the spandex of your favorite spandex slasher, which by the way is not the manliest of looks.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Elven Legacy
    The streamlined gameplay lets vets focus on battle strategies and clearing maps with the best possible ratings, while less experienced players can wade through the game without being terribly bogged down by having to micromanage lots of minutia. Elven Legacy is by no means an amazing game, but it's a strong follow-up to Fantasy Wars and not a bad way to spend a rainy afternoon.

    MAG
    The bottom-line is that MAG is a game that requires a pretty serious time-commitment in order to enjoy. You won't get involved with the Shadow War until you've been playing for a while, and most of the individual leveling seems to be designed with hardcore players in mind, possibly taking hundreds of hours to fully level-up.

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    It almost seems as if those virtual barriers we often find in video games have disappeared in this game, as if magic had taken over and made this game endless.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
    LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is a fun little entry into the series. The mechanics are more polished than the first game, and LEGO-game fans will likely find the core gameplay to be as satisfying as ever.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Deadly Creatures
    The combat and motion controls are less than perfect, but the level design and cinematic storytelling really steal the show. Deadly Creatures offers a rare perspective that's very entertaining, if only for a brief time.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Dark Sector
    Dark Sector can best be described as a game born out of a formula. To create this game, you will need 2 parts Gears of War, 1 part Resident Evil, and a dash of X-Men. It is totally easy to rip this game to shreds based on this description. But as you play this game, something unexpected happens: you find yourself having an amazing amount of fun.

    Ghost Squad
    Ghost Squad is a culmination of hits and misses, forming a package that succeeds because of its quirky charm and traditional gameplay.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley
    Definitely a game worth playing, although surprisingly more for its script than its gameplay. Comic fans will get a kick out of the extras, which reference everything from The Dark Knight Returns to Kitchen Sink Press' Scud.

    Fable Anniversary
    It was just a good, solid fun RPG, and it remains so to this day.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Too Human
    A bit too repetitive for its own good, but the unique controls and the online co-op are quite nice indeed.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    East India Company
    Even the game's most tedious moments will offer a good measure of entertainment for strategy gaming fans, though a number of issues may eventually have you questioning whether it's worth sticking with in the long run.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Blood Stone: 007
    The basic realities of Blood Stone's shooting and driving are generally overshadowed by the bombastic setpieces.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Line Rider 2: Unbound
    Puzzles are engaging and plentiful, and the freestyle mode can easily occupy days of solid creativity.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The King of Fighters XII
    If you like online play, King of Fighters does it extremely well. However, with only one single-player offline mode, this title feels a little empty overall.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Need for Speed: Nitro
    I'm not going to pretend that Need for Speed: Nitro can live up to the grandiosity of Shift. However, for an arcade-style racer, Nitro is a ton of fun. As a racer for the Wii, Nitro is phenomenal.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Painkiller: Hell Wars
    Painkiller will cater to fans that want their action simple and lightning-quick. The weapon selection is limited but versatile, while the body count is astonishingly high right out of the gate.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The Adventures of Tintin: The Game
    Far from perfect, and its simple gameplay and (mostly) shallow puzzles aren't going to entertain one for long. Still, it's an extremely solid movie tie-in and a mostly seamless platforming experience, with polish where it counts.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Inquisitor
    The translation is very good, which is beyond impressive with the quantity of text on display. It is not a game that will appeal to everyone, not by a long shot, but for those who think they would enjoy a title that harkens back to an earlier, less cinematic, far less forgiving era of gaming, Inquisitor has plenty of meat to sink your teeth into.
