    Braid is an absolute masterpiece, from beginning to end.

    While not as fresh and new as the original game, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 is a phenomenal action game full of unique modes, fun multiplayer and tons of excitement.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Soulcalibur 4 has its flaws, awful writing and stilted dialogue, but it is also the essential fighting game of the summer, if not the entire year. Well-balanced characters and endless customization will keep you coming back for more.

    Art of Murder paints itself into a corner with the same old brushes we've seen misused time and time again.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Siren: Blood Curse remains largely unchanged after four years time. If you avoided it then, avoid it now as well. This title is really only for the horror hardcore.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Full of retro goodness, Joint Strike is a flashback to the sore thumb days of old.
    • 76 Metascore

    Order Up! will be entertaining and easy to learn for all ages. At an average of six hours to complete, though, it suffers from the lack of a multiplayer challenge mode.

    Not only is Final Fantasy one of the best looking games on the Nintendo DS, but it also features the best story and characters.
    • 69 Metascore

    When it comes right down to it Tee It Up is an extremely bare bones release.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    In comparison to the amount of fun you have, those are middling problems at worst. Civilization Revolution is easy to learn, hard to put down, and a blast to play.

    Come on an adventure with treasure hunters Cid and Chocobo as they quest to rescue the memories of Lostime.
    • 63 Metascore

    A soupy ending cinematic can’t drag down this intimately-crafted homage to German sci-fi staple (but American unknown), Perry Rhodan.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Aerosmith is exactly what you think it is, a Guitar Hero game with way too much Aerosmith. If that's your cup of tea then you're probably going to get a kick out of this game, but everybody else should avoid this like the plague.

    Despite its short campaign and repetitive nature, Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 proves to be an exciting action game for one to three players.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The devilishly fun minions make their way to the PS3 for the first time. A blast for those who haven’t experienced the original Overlord, but not quite enough new content for those who have.

    A new Political Machine for 2008, this turn-based election strategy game is light, fun, and amusing. While it may not have a lot of lasting appeal, it certainly makes for a fun way to spend a few afternoons.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's marred by confusing controls, terrible gameplay, abysmal camera angles and, worst of all, a character I couldn't stand.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Despite a few nags in the single player campaign, Battlefield:Bad Company represents one of the best multiplayer shooters on the market.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Don't be fooled by the name, this is one game that won't make you feel like a real guitar hero!
    • 72 Metascore

    Puzzle solvers might be left cold by things like online Sudoku considering that it is no more interactive than the ones printed in the newspaper. For them, Crazy Machines 2 offers a type of interactive puzzle solving not available anywhere else.

    Space Invaders Extreme is a supremely well done arcade update, and a meaty, addictive portable game in its own right.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    This isn't just a fun retro resurrection, it's a phenomenal action game that should be in everybody's collection. At $20 there's no reason to be without Space Invaders Extreme.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's not all that innovative and some of the format choices are questionable, but the stylus control works great and you're getting a lot of the same stuff for a low price.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    However, the bottom line is that it feels like it was rushed to the market to coincide with the release of 2008 show schedule.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    It's definitely one of the premier titles right now on the PlayStation 3.
    • 72 Metascore

    Fans of DBZ, both the games and the show, can find enough here to keep them satisfied and coming back for more but fighting gamers may find the slower paced combat and the drama pieces a turn off.

    It's hard to imagine, but Sierra Entertainment has been able to capture the frantic pace and edge-of-your-seat action of the Bourne movies in this game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It's not a perfect game by any means but the Bourne Conspiracy is a great start for a new franchise.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    GRID is, in essence, the Nicole Kidman of racing games. Hollywood production values couple with classic beauty under neo lighting, skinned-over by intelligent complexity--all of which rumbles unseen beneath the bodywork, sometimes understated, sometimes overt, and at all times volatile.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    So no, developer Luxoflux didn't reinvent so much as renovate the battered and bruised movie-to-game tie-in.
