Multi-Platform Video Game Reviews

Metro 2033 Review [PC Xbox 360]
Metro 2033 is a dark journey saturated with an enthralling atmosphere that will reward intrepid adventurers.

Infinite Space Review [DS]
There's a ton of space butt to kick with your pimped-out fleet of starships, but be prepared to take a beating.

Perfect Dark Review [Xbox 360]
Updated visuals help Perfect Dark to wear its years well, but the outdated design could hamper your fun.

Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Review [PC]
This expansion pack isn't as extraordinary as the original Dragon Age, but it's still immensely entertaining.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising Review [PC]
This excellent stand-alone expansion brings some much-needed Chaos to Dawn of War II.

Scrap Metal Review [Xbox 360]
This top-down racer offers both thrills and frills, but it gets some of the basics wrong.

Calling Review [Wii]
Ripping off every Japanese horror trick in the book doesn't make this poor attempt at survival horror any scarier.

Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight Review [PC]
Tiberian Twilight's online play and persistent unlocks make for short-term fun, but the mediocre campaign doesn't give Kane the send-off he deserved.

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce Review [Xbox 360 PlayStation 3]
The best of the Dynasty Warriors franchise struggles to compete with modern hack-and-slash games.

Yakuza 3 Review [PlayStation 3]
Yakuza 3's compelling story, great atmosphere, and abundance of extracurricular activities make it the best game in the franchise so far.

Bejeweled Twist Review [DS]
This explosive puzzle game is sometimes too chaotic for its own good, but it's difficult to put down once you get sucked in.
