Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 (360)
This series has gone by many names around the world and on various consoles, but its signature quality gameplay has tied them all together over the past 13 years.
Review: Civilization IV Warlords
Six new civilizations have been added to the already extensive lineup, including the Carthaginians, Koreans, Vikings, Celts, Ottomans and finally the venerable Zulu. Each new civilization also received their own unique units and leaders, just as they're counterparts have.
Review: Monster House (GBA)
While the game is not so childish that an adult couldn't play it, it is still a children's game and only a child could see past this game's flaws enough to be able to actually enjoy it.
Review: The Movies: Stunts & Effects (PC)
The new "Stunts and Effects" expansion pack seeks to expand the palate of available options and tools beyond the already extensive collection that the original game offered. The package certainly accomplishes that feat, but fails to fix the more pressing problems for which fans have been waiting.

E3: Super Mario Galaxy - Wii

E3: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Wii
Now a full Wii launch title, how does it translate to the wand?
Swordfights are as entertaining as ever and are helped by Link's spin attack being performed by spinning the controller in a circle. This is the game that we've been waiting for since 1998. This is the true spiritual successor to Ocarina of Time.
E3: Gears of War - 360
Does it live up to the hype?
I'll admit to having some skepticism about this title going into E3. I remember hearing hype about it ever since the terrible MTV unveiling of the 360. But now Gears of War has quickly jumped to the top of my "must have" games list for the Xbox 360.
