    Hotel Dusk: Room 215
    Hotel Dusk hangs somewhere between a game and an interactive story. While we would have liked to see a little more interactivity thrown into the mix, its storytelling elements are nevertheless fantastic.

    Aliens: Infestation
    An interesting 2D action title that borrows elements from Contra and Metroid, while adding a couple of nicely implemented twists of its own, but it could have been something remarkable if it weren't for its lacking design and substance.

    Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
    A decent game suffocating under a crust of hard plastic cheese.

    Madden NFL 06
    Tiburon have added a reasonable amount of new material for the 2006 edition of Madden, but we really feel as though they could have done more.
    • 67 Metascore

    Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
    Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is an intense and enjoyable shooter with enough unique features to set itself apart, but we would have expected more polish from this port.
    • 70 Metascore

    Crackdown 2
    Crackdown 2 is just as fiendishly addictive and recklessly enjoyable as the original, but the single player game has been unwisely compromised for multiplayer and a lack of evolution.

    Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires
    Empires is an enjoyable game, but we'd like to see it become part of the main game, rather than continue to be a standalone add-on pack.
    • 64 Metascore

    Sonic Rivals
    Sonic Rivals focuses on the speed of Sonic, there is never a dull moment.
    • 67 Metascore

    Purr Pals
    Purr Pals is a great alternative to Nintendogs and is a game that is a lot of fun for kitten lovers.
    • 68 Metascore

    Monster Hunter
    If you want an online dungeon crawler with a decent atmosphere, nice visuals and repetitive but social and sometimes exciting action, this will do nicely. Don't bother for offline only play.

    Tomb Raider: Legend
    While Tomb Raider: Legend is a solid game, Crystal Dynamics just haven’t taken any chances with it – all of the design choices throughout the game feel too safe.

    Metro 2033
    While some areas tend to fall flat and the world can sometimes feel a bit disjointed, Metro 2033 is a unique and unforgettable experience.

    Disney*Pixar WALL-E
    WALL-E is a solid platforming game that children will love.
    • 65 Metascore

    Disney's Meet the Robinsons
    An impressive and enjoyable kids game. It has a few issues, but the campaign is fun and provides enough reason to come back to the game more than once.

    Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit
    A shiny coat of paint isn’t enough to hide the fact that the depth in the fighting has been somewhat compromised, the game is the lowest on content since the original Budokai title and the least friendliest to those who aren’t fans.
    • 67 Metascore

    DC Universe Online
    Comic fans will get the most out of DC Universe Online, and it is a fun, if shallow MMO. However, once the level cap is reached, there is little reason to continue, making it a game you probably won't be spending a lot of time with.

    Final Fantasy IV
    Square Enix spoons the fanatical bards with its nth-dipped reiteration of the fourth Final Fantasy.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals: Combined Assault
    At its core, you’re playing the game with the SOCOM 3 engine making it seem like an expansion pack with new levels and such. It’s a shame they couldn’t completely fix some of the problems with the AI but it’s still SOCOM and if you’re a fan you’ll find enjoyment through the various gameplay options available.

    Call of Juarez
    Call of Juarez has a few flaws but is still a solid game that's recommended to those who want a shooter but are sick of killing Nazis.

    Spider-Man 2
    We appreciate that Activision hasn't delivered just a port, and given us an entirely new adventure, but we wish it was longer and allowed for more free roaming.

    Wii Play
    Wii Play excels at what it sets out to do, and as a package deal with a Wii Remote is a no-brainier purchase for new Wii owners.

    NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
    Rarely has a game so clearly demonstrated that 'less is more'. There's a great game here for those who know what it's about, but you have to wade through to it.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir
    Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir is a worthy addition to the DS library. It’s great for quick pick up and play sessions, there’s a lot of replay value on offer, and it’s neatly presented. If you haven’t liked other Touch Generation titles however, then you need not apply.

    Sudeki
    Sudeki had a lot of potential. It has been in development for a few years now and looks great visually but is let down by a slow start.
    • 77 Metascore

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars
    Much better than a lot of other Ubisoft launch offerings for the 3DS, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is a great title if you're looking for a lengthy strategy game with nice mechanics.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rogue Trooper
    A thoroughly enjoyable third person shooter that has a varied single player mode, and a title that, despite the low hype, is definitely worth trying out. Being a lonesome soldier hasn’t been this fun in a third person shooter for a long time.
    • 72 Metascore

    Star Ocean: The Last Hope
    The Last Hope offers a pleasant looking and reasonably playable JRPG experience, no more and no less.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Area 51
    A solid FPS with a great storyline, it just doesn't bring too much new to the genre, and at times feels very familiar.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
    There are far better shooters for the Xbox, including previous Ghost Recon games. Save your money. It would be far better spent put towards an Xbox 360.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    LEGO Rock Band
    If you play LEGO Rock Band as standalone game and then export the tracks to your hard drive, you’ll get the best value out of this title. Anyone playing this merely as a standalone game without any extra DLC, or using it as a track pack, will have to carefully evaluate the included tunes before they Lego of their cash.
