    If you just enjoy good adventure games with a heavy dose of action, then be sure to give Shattered Dimensions a look.

    While it’s a better game than it was last year for the 360, it really isn’t THE football video game that we hoped for.

    One of the first that really shows off the power of the PSP.

    $19.99 USD is a more than fair price to ask for this game, and considering how Steam discounts usually go, it won’t be long before this title is an absolute must-have for anyone who can tolerate the curious RTS design decisions.

    This game has extended play written all over it. Starting with a fledgling jockey and horse and building up over time and progressively more difficult races results in a game that, if you are a fan of the genre, will have you entertained for weeks on end.

    You also have the ability to save anywhere. This is helpful for the game not being too frustrating as well.

    For the price of a cup of coffee you can pick this game up – don’t be one of the 97% that pirated it. Game Dev Tycoon is the one Tycoon title worth buying now that it’s on Steam.

    This is a very nice RPG, and if you enjoy Japanese RPGs at all you owe it to yourself to pick up this title.

    While the game may have started off weak, it picks up pretty quickly and can even keep an adult entertained – a feat few kids games can pull off.

    As far as replay value is concerned I wouldn't call FFTA a classic, like the original, so I'm not so sure that FFTA would have many people wanting to play it again. It is really fun the first time through though.

    Perhaps the only people who won't enjoy this game are those who don't understand or like the comedic style of the Homestar Runner universe.

    It isn't that the game is bad, it is just that the mood, voices and music combine to create a game that you don't want to play.

    It is almost a management sim, like "Majesty" was...and it is almost a military sim, like "Starcraft" or "Age of Mythology." But it is unique in its design and only suffers from a few design flaws.

    The great graphics and sound will grab your attention, and the diversity of the worlds and the ability to pick up and play will keep it.

    The setting is nailed down perfectly, and EA has taken care to get great voice acting and music.

    Sin Episodes: Emergence feels and plays like theater food. It’s a quick rush once you chow down, but as soon as the sugar starts digesting you start noticing things you’ve seen before.

    A very entertaining mech combat title with lots of options and missions to keep you going for many a night.

    Being able to jump into the game, and back out, without losing any progress or exit to the main menu makes this especially family friendly.

    You are never lost as to where to go throughout each level, so seasoned veterans of first-person shooters might find the game a bit easy, but they would be missing a great time if they passed this over.

    Aside from a few missteps in track selection and ambiance, GRID 2 firmly establishes Codemasters as one of the premier racing game developers around today.

    I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how well it turned out. For only $10, you’ll get plenty of gameplay for the money spent.

    The few places where it stumbles are more than made up by the polish and attention to detail everywhere else.

    The combat system is different and requires more strategy compared to other RPGs.

    With better focus on what players want, including four (useful!) costumes per character, a plethora of villians and heroes from Marvel lore, better visuals, tighter RPG elements, less of the Chatty-Cathy moments, and FAR more tough boss and mini-boss battles, Marvel Ultimate Alliance could be the geekfest that keeps players wrapped onto whatever platform they chose like a pair of tight blue spandex with a big 4 on the chest.

    There’s so much about Red Faction: Guerrilla that is innovative and goes above and beyond your run-of-the-mill game, it’s disappointing that this title didn’t garner a higher score. The fact is that modern gamers want an engaging story line along with their action and that just isn’t present here.

    It's not perfect and it's not for everyone, but ZombiU is a fantastic return of the survival horror genre.

    I had a lot of fun with this game, I just wish I could have chosen a different car than the Escort.

    While the difficulty might turn some people off, the game holds an absolutely amazing amount of depth. Not only that, when you consider the title is only $20, it makes it even more of a good deal. Sure, most fans of NIS probably have this for the PS2 or Wii (or both), but if you don't, you owe it to yourself to pick it up and give it a spin.

    Burn Zombie Burn is a very fun arcade style action game.

    It's the first person camera work that brings even this lack-luster world to life and makes up for the simple textures. The first person perspective goes beyond anything that we've ever seen in other games and brings the immersion of the experience to new levels.
