    Bioshock is everything we've been hoping it could be. It defines the action/adventure genre, combining the thrills of a FPS, the strategy of a RPG, the looks of a visual masterpiece, the sounds of an epic, and the story of a full-blown mystery. It's not perfect, but it's damn close.

    Enemies will change what they say based on what's happening too, so if you go in guns blazing they may scream like a little girl, but if you duck behind an object they will taunt you for being a coward. All of this adds to the total immersion that you get from playing this game and that feeling is overwhelming.

    If Morrowind defines the non-linear RPG genre, Oblivion adds clarity to that definition.

    Simply put, God of War is just about the best action game to date. The combat is astounding. The puzzles are well thought out, and the sound and environments create the perfect setting for it all.

    I have never before had a gaming experience like it, and may never again... Simply put, Resident Evil 4 owns our souls.

    Between the online gameplay, offline modes, car tweaking, and decal making, you'll be set for life with this game.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    It’s the total package for any game of the genre to follow: user-friendly, deep character customization and plenty of replay value. World of Warcraft is a game you need to play.

    This is the best arcade racer I have ever played.

    Ninja Gaiden Black may very well be the pinnacle of video gaming this generation.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    The controls compliment the gameplay, while the graphics add some style to it, and the music finishes off the game’s unique atmosphere.

    • 96 Critic Score
    It will go down as one of the few games that managed to live up to the insane hype it created.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    It is quite easily the greatest title in its genre on the Xbox and you won't find a better substitution on the console.

    Even if you own a Gamecube, this is the version you should be buying because I can’t imagine playing it any other way, nor would I want to.

    My jaw also hit the floor when I had my first crash. In many racers cars just get a ding or probably no scratches at all. In Burnout 3 your car comes out looking like one of those high school driver's education videos.

    Outclasses "Madden NFL 2005" in all areas except for Franchise, but I would rather have the game that is simply more fun to play than having my eyes glare at stat menus for hours on end since that is what matters the most in a football game to me.

    Where Metroid's short length is an asset, it is more likely that you will play through it again because the time investment is very amiable.

    Day and night find their way into the world and anything bathed in light has a nice soft glow. The environments are breathtaking and painstakingly detailed to the point they will suck you in.

    A fine addition to the Pokemon line-up. It is able to take everything good about Ruby and Sapphire and improve on it, both enhancing the original Ruby and Sapphire feature as well as adding new ones.

    The pinnacle not only of its series, but also of the current North American DS library. If you have even a passing interest in the strategy, genre it will suck you in. If you have never played a strategy game, this is a great series to jump into.

    It is titles like this that are the backbone of the industry and the reason I got into gaming in the first place. Few games draw you in as much as this gem does.

    Bottom line is once you get used to the difficulty of NG you'll enjoy it for the challenge it offers and the cool factor the entire game incorporates.

    It plays like a dream, looks like a dream, sinks its claws into you and won't let go.

    I’m elated to see how well done the sequel to Mark of Kri is.

    It all makes for a very fun experience, though it probably would have been even better with a dual analog setup. Something about locking onto enemies in a multiplayer context just feels like cheating.

    The originality is a key factor to what makes it so great. Meteos is the killer app for the DS.

    On top of the game's extended length, Pimin 2 also includes much more content than the original.

    Barring the slight audio and Live issues, I have no qualms with RC 2.

    Tetris DS has online play, loving tributes to classics of the past, and the best music of any Tetris game yet. It’s a treat for dedicated Nintendo and Tetris fans alike.

    Sure the health system is unrealistic and the multiplayer options may be a little drab, but the game itself is phenomenal. This is easily the best WWII shooter on the market and the best FPS on the Xbox 360.

    Quake 4 just screams its superiority over other first person shooters.
