  • Game: WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010

    I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0

    Deep wrestling simulator has ads, blood, sexy girls.

  • Game: Tekken 6

    I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0

    Worthy brawler skimpy on story, appropriate female attire.

  • Game: Borderlands

    I rate this titlenokidsand give it4.0

    Stylish but super-gory shooter where you kill with abandon.

  • Game: NBA 2K10

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    Robust basketball sim meant for experienced players.

  • Game: NBA Live 10

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    Exciting sim of pro hoops with challenging shooting.

  • Game: NHL 2K10

    I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0

    Simple hockey sim, best for newbies -- watch open chat.

    Although NHL 2K10 delivers a more accessible experience compared to its competitors, the game falls short in creating a truly authentic pro hockey experience.  One of the major issues ...

  • Game: NHL 10

    I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0

    Excellent, authentic pro hockey sim includes brawls.

    NHL 10 is perhaps the best, most realistic representation of pro hockey available.  This year's game adds only a couple new but key features to an already fantastic experience. The most ...

  • Game: Batman: Arkham Asylum

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    Dark yet thrilling action game based on the Caped Crusader.

    Arkham Asylum is perhaps the best game representation of the comic book character. While most games prefer to focus on Batman as a fighter, this game examines the complete persona of the ...

  • Game: Shadow Complex

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    Explosive downloadable shooter pays homage to classic games.
