    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a title that brims with great visuals, solid sound, and some very good gameplay.

    Aside from some minor issues, Driver: San Francisco is a good game with the potential to become even better thanks to what looks to be a solid offering of online game modes. The actual story in the game is a tad far-fetched but interesting enough to warrant attention. While there's more to do in single player than just the story, the extra events aren't all entirely unique.

    EA Sports has done another excellent job with its latest hockey title, NHL 12. They have done some noticeable tweaking to an already solid game and I think most sports fans will appreciate the new additions while fans of the franchise, like myself, will love the familiar gameplay. There is once again enough new stuff here to keep hockey lovers gaming on the virtual ice for another year.

    If you're jonesing for a shooter fix in this end of summer, pre-holiday rush of new games, Bodycount might just fill that void. I'd suggest a rental first though. The idea is there but the execution seems to lack that edge. This one amounts to nothing more than a completely generic shooting gallery. Even though the action is fast paced the controls, graphics, and sound are just okay at best.

    Overall I have to give credit to the big 'N' for not just cashing in on another storied franchise as they have reworked it for fans of the original while giving those new to the franchise a fresh and exciting game to play.

    Glowfish is beautiful and, more importantly, requires strategy to tackle the stronger enemies. Even while requiring some thought, Glowfish can easily be understood by a new gamer, providing a lot of fun for everyone.

    Another year, comes another Madden game. While this years version once again delivers, and certainly does the NFL proud, it is still however a Madden game. The core game remains the same and despite all the enhancements, Madden NFL 12 looks and feels very similar to last year's iteration. Hardcore fans will inevitably purchase the game, but for those fringe fans who already own Madden NFL 11 it is hard to recommend dropping another 60 bucks on a game that plays almost identical to last years. That being said, on its own Madden NFL 12 is a stunner and is an upgrade, albeit slight, over its predecessor.

    Incredibly deep and offers up an action RPG game that will surely please those gamers who enjoy playing games like Splinter Cell and Mass Effect. It is a visually stunning game that features a top notch audio package and a storyline that is engaging.

    A valiant first effort from MinMax, and worth at least a try. Especially considering that, like many indie devs, they're adding more content post release.
    • 86 Metascore

    Overall, this game is well worth the price, and then some.

    As such, like I said at the beginning, it's a game I want to like, and, on any other platform except PC, you can quite happily add a couple of points to the overall score. But, on PC at least, Dust doesn't quite push the right buttons for me to consider it the amazing game it could have been.

    At the end of the day, Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension is just what the doctor ordered for kids to have fun.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Overall, if you like time-trial platform puzzlers with a bit of challenge, then definitely give this one a go. It's simple in concept, hard to master, and yet casual enough that you can just dip in and out of it whenever you feel like.

    It's definitely one of the "must plays" of the iOS, and at only $2.99 on the App Store, you should go grab it right now!
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Still, the replay value is excellent, and the game is that good mix of simple to learn, but hard to master that will keep people coming back.

    Overall, if you have a gamepad, and you like action RPGs with a bit of bite to them, at least give Chantelise a try, because it's fairly cheap, and, thanks to a time attack level feature, it's got some replay value. But if you don't have a gamepad, keep in mind that it's going to be hella difficult until you get one.

    As such, if you're not a hardcore turn based strategy buff, stay away.

    The Asskickers is a fun throwback to older, more difficult beat 'em ups. It has a great art style and fun story. Unfortunately, the game is plagued by problems and glitches.
    • 75 Metascore

    It's a short, cheap, and fun game, and the difficulty curve seems just right.

    It isn't for everyone. But it is definitely a lot more user friendly than other examples of its genre, and, for the price, is potentially a good introduction to this sort of game.

    Supreme Ruler: Cold War is a superb simulator.

    At the end of the day the Call of Juarez franchise has taken a giant leap back with its latest installment in the series. Problematic controls, lackluster visuals, grating voice work, and unoriginal gameplay are some of the common themes when I sit back and ponder what went wrong with this game.

    In short, Jamestown is a fun old school game that, for the price, shows excellent play time, replay value, and variety.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Overall, this is a great strategy game, with a lot of flavour, and it'll only take a bit of work from the developers to make it excellent. And both the devs and the community are working on it, so we look forward to lots of fun!

    Cars 2 for the Nintendo DS is an average title that could have been a whole lot more, considering how well the console versions were executed.

    I have to say that overall I was pleasantly surprised with Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. From the great visuals and sound, to the addictive gameplay, this is a pretty good XBLA title. The only thing that hurts this game somewhat is the short gameplay length and lack of online cooperative play. That being said, fans of twin-stick shooters, and fans of the Warhammer universe alike, will enjoy this title.

    Kard Combat is an absolutely fantastic game.

    Street Fighter IV was already an amazing iOS game, and Volt just adds to that.
