    • 60 Critic Score
    Sega tries to breathe new life into the stale Sonic franchise with this racer, but sadly forgot to rev up the overly simplistic gameplay and slim selection of modes and characters.

    This isn't a brand new experience but it is one that continues to impress and entertain for hours on end.

    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    No monkey business this time around, as Sega deliver a fun puzzler that taps perfectly into the unique Wii remote. One of the better launch titles for the Wii.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A next-gen Sonic platformer would have been a godsend, but Sega somehow manages to screw this up with an insanely frustrating camera and serious framerate issues.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Launch titles are usually a mixed bag, but EA excels in this updated next-gen port, with plenty of visual candy and modes to be excited about.

    • 80 Critic Score
    But if I had a choice between the two, I would have to go with the Xbox 360 version, just because you're going to have a much better online experience that you wouldn't find on the PS3, at least until more people get their units.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Activision's blockbuster shooter gets on the Wii, and uses the console's controls for more precision. Pity it doesn't have anything else.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Decent attempt, but doesn't quite deliver the goods.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Developers Insomniac takes some lessons from their blockbuster platformers, and weaves their magic into this extremely fun and visually stunning shooter.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A hack and slash game should have been a decent choice for a newly launched console, but this one is made nearly unplayable by its frustrating camera system and shallow gameplay.

    • 80 Critic Score
    After years of churning out wrestling titles, Yuke's further refines the whole package, making this one a solid choice on the next-gen 360.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tiger makes his debut on Sony's new next-gen console, with the same solid gameplay and virtually unchanged visuals from the 360 version.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A game based on the American Civil War could get fans excited, and you'd expect more when it carries the History Channel name. A thoroughly disappointing outing.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Midway tries to resurrect their fun Rampage franchise on the Wii and fails miserably. Get ready for some simplistic controls and extremely dated visuals.

    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a pretty standard action RPG with simple controls and decent action.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    • 80 Critic Score
    Namco continues to improve the arcade racer with huge customization feature and decent online play.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A mech-based game would have been perfect to showcase the PS3, but Namco Bandai missfires with this rushed and bare boned actioner.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Midway ports the Blitz on the 360, but doesn't feature anything new, apart from visual improvements here and there. Get it only if you didn't already.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Gorgeous visuals, fantastic gameplay, and just one of the most entertaining shooters of a long time.
