Review: Gears of War 2 (360)
When the first Gears of War came out, I remember hearing many gamers say it was good for tiding the masses over until Halo 3 hit. Now, it can certainly be said that the Gears of War franchise is just as much of a heavy-hitter as Microsoft's other big exclusive.
Review: Saints Row 2 (360)
You won't see any gaming industry experts defending this title on national news, as there's nothing to defend. This game is probably the most purely and unapologetically immoral game I've ever played.
Review: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (360)
The cartoonish DC heroes and villains fit right into the ridiculous MK universe. It's jarring at first to see MK mainstay Scorpion plunge his spear into the Joker, but these DC characters really help to add a new element to Midway's franchise.
Review: Quantum of Solace (360)
With their first attempt at the Bond license, Activision wraps the narrative of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace around the superb Call of Duty 4 engine. It sounded like a perfect match, but the end results are a bit messy.

Review: Crash: Mind Over Mutant (360)
The Crash Bandicoot series never quite turned into the phenomenon Sony hoped it would, and the franchise was passed from Naughty Dog to lesser developers. Crash: Mind Over Mutant is what happens when you take a series out of capable hands.
Mirror's Edge (PS3)
EA continues their extremely surprising trend of introducing new IPs with Mirror's Edge, a parkour-inspired action game. It features a great first-person perspective that really puts you in the action, but some of the gameplay decisions bring down what could have been a great, innovative experience.
Review: Buzz Quiz TV (PS3)
Considering there's already a huge amount of available questions (not to mention the downloadable packs), the online options add an almost limitless amount of replay value. It's a great title to have laying around when you've got company over, and well worth the purchase.
Review: Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon (360)
While nothing is completely broken about Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon (although the camera comes close), there's nothing particularly great about it. It offers little new in a genre that requires innovation in order to get noticed.
