Review: Wizard of Oz — Beyond the Yellow Brick Road (DS)
Although it is, by no means, on the level of Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, or even Pokémon, it's an above average RPG with a lot to offer the casual gamer looking for a portable adventure...
Review: Forza 3 (360)
Forza 3 is THE racing game of 2009 and a must own title for anyone that has even a passing interest in racing games...
Review: Grand Theft Auto, "The Ballad of Gay Tony"
Even as an add-on pack, this GTA release is longer and has more content than some major full priced releases. It gives the best GTA story to date, features the most likeable protagonist and clearly has the craziest mission ever...
Review: WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 (Xbox 360)
This game offers the deepest professional wrestling package since the days of the Nintendo 64, and faithful “wrasslin” fans are rewarded with almost everything they’ve asked for in a WWE game...
Review: Borderlands (PS3)
Borderlands is what would happen if Halo and World of Warcraft got drunk and had a baby together...
Review: Uncharted 2 (PS3)
If you don’t own a Playstation 3 yet, this is the most compelling reason to go get one, if the lowered price wasn’t already reason enough — otherwise, you will be missing out on what is quite possibly the best game to come out this year...
Review: NBA 10 — The Inside (PSP)
This game comes to us from the makers of Sony’s beloved baseball franchise. Unfortunately, this PSP basketball game fails to capture the realism and balance of its baseball counterpart. That said, those who are happy with a simple, casual arcade experience will likely find NBA 10 worthwhile.
Review: Halo 3 ODST (360)
Halo 3 ODST began as an add-on to the third title, so for a while gamer bulliten boards have wondered whether the full price would be justified. The short answer is: entirely...
Review: Heroes Over Europe (360)
As a “World War II air combat” game, sure, Heroes is catering to a specific genre. But this game should appeal to new, wider audiences thanks to its options and features. Heroes caters to both those who prefer flight simulation with some dog fighting as well as those looking for a simpler arcade-style game...
Need for Speed: Shift (PS3)
The popularity of street racing games has been falling, so with this release the focus has shifted away from the series’ arcade roots in favor of racing simulation. The result is an above average game for experienced virtual drivers, but just accessible enough for those looking to break into the genre...
Review: Scribblenauts (DS)
Scribblenauts may well be the most hyped game of the year (a game, incidentally, codesigned by Lawrencian and former lawrence.com game reviewer, Matt Cox). However the game is not without it's flaws, both minor and opinion shifting...
Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3)
Not only do we finally have a good Batman game, this is one of the best comic book games to date...
Wolfenstein (360)
Everything in this game has been done before (and better), the Veil feature is unnecessary and annoying, and Raven completely ignored the one thing that could have made this a more enjoyable experience—the nostalgia factor...
