Enslaved’s one of the best new IP’s to come out this year. There are some problems but it’s strengths easily makes up for it’s downfalls and then some. It’s not one aspect of the game that makes it stand out, it’s how it embodies everything into a great experience from...
Dead Rising 2
In short, Dead Rising 2 delivers in the best way and the only way a video game should; entertainment. While it lacks polish, it is truly a fun and engaging experience and after finishing the story there’s a good chance you’ll want to visit Fortune City again.
Halo: Reach
Whilst the game isn’t perfect, it is one of the better ones Bungie has put out on the market. The campaign is short lived and repetitive, yet it is still crazy fun and well thought out. The multiplayer is spectacular with endless unlocks, gametypes, and ways of play in general....
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days
Although, Kane & Lynch 2 feels kind of uninspired on the gameplay front, the presentation itself shines through. It’s intentionally bad, like low compression quality YouTube videos bad.

If you don’t feel like dispensing justice by yourself then you can get a friend for some local drop-in/drop-out co-op where the other player takes control of Deathspank’s sidekick Sparkles the Wizard. Sparkles comes with a healing spell, flamethrower, and the ability to create a clone that runs around only...
Persona 3 Portable is what happens when Persona 3 and Persona 3 FES decide to fuse together in one tiny handheld system. It basically contains all the improvements from FES and has a new female protagonist you can play as that adds new story options to the social links. My...
Limbo is easily worth it’s price, there is nothing quite like it. Never has a game shown me so many emotions in such a small space of time. From fear, to anger, to laughter. It’s a brilliant experience from beginning to end. If you loved Braid, you will love this....

Amanita Design has worked tirelessly for 3 years to bring us Machinarium, a point/click adventure game with a unique art style. You begin the game as a trashcan-esque robot being rudely tossed out of the city and into a junk yard. From there your goals go from trying to get...
Cash is a new addition to Assassin’s Creed 2 and plays a heavy role in how you play the game. You acquire Florins by pickpocketing people, finding hidden treasure, or simply completing quests. These can then be used to buy new weapons, items, armor, or health vials. Other items can...

Battlefield: Bad Company attempts to come onto its own with a refreshingly funny, down to earth narrative to contrast the serious nature of other war based shooters. This is evidently seen in the subtle organic feel of the characters of Bad Company, tending towards a down-to-earth portrayal of soldiers. Players...
