Exactly what beat-em-up purists have been crying out for. It's not revolutionary by any means but a huge victory for the fighting game genre nonetheless.

After Castlevania's lackluster outings on the PS2, question marks stood over whether this would be the console Castlevania's return to form. Lords of Shadow seems to avoid the challenge altogether.

While Bioware might be called out for playing it a bit safe and sticking to an already familiar MMO formula, the game still has plenty to keep both Star Wars and MMO fans engaged. If you're looking for a fleshed-out MMO that isn't as overcrowded as WoW, then this is the game for you.

Far Cry 2 is a game that we wanted to love. It started off very well only to sink lower and lower into tedious territories.

Street Fighter X Tekken is a great game that despite the lack of a story mode manages to win you over with its no-nonsense gameplay and staggering roster of characters (including special characters on the PS3 version).
