Really, Borderlands is like crack. But these 16 hour marathons have to stop. I have laundry and other things to attend to.

I'd easily recommend that you go out and pick up this little gem of a licensed game and add it to your pile.

A genre-specific racing sim that immerses you in the world of round-track racing, NASCAR '07 does not disappoint.

Rare has put together a deceptively deep gameplay formula that successfully pulls you back in time-after-time again. Cutesy characters shouldn't deter even the grisliest gamers from dropping anchor and exploring Pinata Island.

The simple pick-up-and-play mechanics embody everything the Nintendo Wii is about -- and they make for a fun experience, too.

The improved accessibility is welcome, the deepened career mode is great and the overall presentation quality can't be overlooked.

It looks and sounds "next-gen," and the career mode is definitely deep, but it might be a bit intimidating for casual fans who just want to hop into a Grand Prix race and play. It could also benefit from more people actually playing online.

It's the best "superhero" game ever made, but the lack of side missions and its annoying co-op bugs hold it back from greatness.

With such good multiplayer options, graphics and sound, it's a shame that the single-player portion of RalliSport Challenge 2 falters as much as it does.

A surprisingly deep fighter. Occasionally the fast combat can degenerate into button mashing, but the strategic elements are there if you can keep your wits about you.

A fun and stylistic outing by any measure, but the game-lengthening tactics are all-too apparent.

A new character brings new and compelling gameplay elements, but the repetition gets a bit tired, even if it is a Capcom calling card.

With its good graphics, audio and party-based play, Shrek 2 improves in nearly every way upon the original game.

NASCAR junkies no longer have to live vicariously through the TV, because NASCAR 06: Total Team Control darn near puts them in the driver’s seat themselves.

With its good graphics, audio and party-based play, Shrek 2 improves in nearly every way upon the original game.

There’s some good gaming here for people new to the franchise, but some parts will feel old to experienced AOE vets.

Possibly the best new-gen (or any) version of Madden since 1995.

It's not quite as open ended as we'd hoped it would be, but the taste of freedom has whet our appetite for more, and the weapons upgrades keep gunplay fresh throughout the campaign.

Technically, graphically and aurally it's impressive, but if you're not into the act of driving or not on Xbox Live, it's best suited to be a rental. The multiplayer socialization and implementation is really where it shines.

SingStar has good karaoke and non-multiplayer online functionality, but it enters a crowded field and is really just "more of the same." Sure, it's a good same, but karaoke is karaoke.

It's not that often you encounter a game that mixes genres and still manages to be above-average in quality.

Cooking Mama seemed like an insurmountable franchise at one time, but Order Up! has -- at least to this editor -- added just the right amount of gameplay spice to surpass the competition.

The co-op gameplay is both Army of Two's savior and burden, but the end result is still an enjoyable experience that fills a void not just in the Q1 doldrums, but in the shooter scene as a whole.

Beefier graphics and a complete game are nice, but still missing some overall next-gen polish.

The across-the-board improvements on Xbox 360 pick up where the current-gen gameplay left off, but they probably don't justify the added cost for people who have already played a current-gen version.
