Review: Battlefield Bad Company 2 (PS3)
Instead of making a high-budget clone of Modern Warfare 2 (which would have diluted the Battlefield series), BC2 takes what has always made this series great and enhances it with the best traits of contemporary shooters...
Review: BioShock 2 (360)
As a standalone game, BioShock 2 is above average, but, as a sequel to one of the best first-person shooters of all time, it is underwhelming...
Review: Dante’s Inferno (360)
Dante’s Inferno looks and plays well, and fans of God of War will likely enjoy a different take on familiar gameplay. Others will find this to be little more than a game of endurance and patience...
Review: Mass Effect 2 (360)
ME 2 was the first game in a long time that I just couldn’t put down. Unlike any game I’ve ever played before, the suicide mission made me sweat at the thought of losing a character I had built up for over 50 hours and two full games...
Review: Darksiders (360)
Darksiders has its moments of brilliance. But they are lost in a sea of muddled mechanics and unfocused game design. As the first effort from Vigil Games, a lot can be forgiven. As a $60 title competing with the big boys, it’s just an average title...

If you’ve played the demos or read about Dark Void and think it might be up your alley, my advice would be to either rent it on a snowy weekend or wait for it to come down in price substantially...

For all its relative shortcomings, 40th Day's extraction mode will reign supreme when it goes public. If you're looking for a solid cooperative experience, this is just what you have been waiting for...
Preview: Calling (Wii)

Review: The Saboteur (360)
For fans of sandbox games, this will likely tide you over for a month or two until the next GTA contender pops up. For fans of adventure and stealth games, this one's a toss-up at best...
Review: Guitar Hero Van Halen (360)
When Van Halen first takes stage, you’ll notice they have the modern day versions of the band — complete with Wolfgang Van Halen. Roth doesn’t quite look right with his modern day short hair and skinnier features, which make his signature Hawaiian shirt look out of place — even comical...
Review: Buzz Quiz World (PSP)
Buzz Quiz World is probably the best and most versatile PSP quiz game out there. If you’re looking for a great on-the-go quiz game, Buzz Quiz World has just about everything you need....
The family that plays together ...
Do you know what games your children buy? Here are some guidelines for choosing age-appropriate gifts.
Sex. Drugs. F-bombs. Terrorism and sadistic murder. It’s not the stuff of most parents’ holiday gift lists. But if your kids are asking for video games this season, you’ll need to do a little research to make sure you aren’t inadvertently giving them those very things.

Review: Tony Hawk Ride (360)
Tony Hawk Ride is an experiment to see if skating games can enjoy the same peripheral workup that music and exercise games have — in this respect Ride proves they can. Unfortunately, as with many gaming experiments, there’s still a lot of room for improvement...
