  • Moon
  • Moon posted on 1/12/2009
  • In the vein of System Shock and Metroid Prime, Moon is a heart-pounding first-person shooter tailor-made for gamers who crave sci-fi adventure. You take on the commanding role of a special space-based task force assigned to a lunar investigation when a mysterious hatch of alien origin is discovered on the moon. In the vein of any great horror film, things take a terrible turn for the worse leaving you as the sole survivor on this ruined expedition.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Moon proves itself as a creepy and innovative portable FPS experience, weighed down by a severe lack of challenge and variety.

  • Neopets Puzzle Adventure - DS posted on 12/29/2008
  • Neopets Puzzle Adventure only delivers half of what it promises in the title. While the puzzle elements show a faint bit of innovation, everything else in the game feels too simple and kid-oriented, even for casual gamers. Oddly enough, Neopets Puzzle Adventure would have been a better game without the story, characters, or sparse RPG elements.
  • Neverland Card Battles
  • Neverland Card Battles posted on 12/29/2008
  • Neverland Card Battles is one baffling game. While this title has all the basic fundamentals of a decent card-based tactical RPG (large battlegrounds, complex combat rules, and so on), they actually make one really terrible game when they're all put together. With a bland story, bad voice acting, and one of the most annoying tactical systems I've seen in an RPG, I can't recommended this game for anyone but fans of this niche series.
  • Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon
  • Destroy all Humans! Path of the Furon posted on 12/17/2008
  • Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon fills me with a sense of dread. All the series' trademark humor and inventive gameplay has been woefully absent since Destroy All Humans 2, and Path of the Furon is no different. Much like 1970s pop culture, the humor in this game is both irritating and bland, and nothing looks (or plays) as good as it should.
  • Shaun White Snowboarding
  • Shaun White Snowboarding - PS3 posted on 12/17/2008
  • Shaun White (aka The Flying Tomato) is a world-renowned snowboard/skateboard superstar, so it was only a matter of time before he finally got his own video game following in the footsteps of Tony Hawk.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Shaun White's Snowboarding is a fun, open-ended snowboarding simulation that allows you to ride different mountains, all the while catching big air and jibbing rails, trees and boxes.
  • Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip
  • Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip posted on 12/16/2008
  • Shaun White's Wii debut bests its high-powered console counterparts, while giving gamers the best reason yet to break out their balance boards.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: In a surprising twist on par with hell freezing over the Wii receives the best version of a multi-platform title. Road Trip isn't a perfect ride down the virtual mountain, but it often nails the fun factor that the PS3 and 360 versions sometimes missed. Even better, it offers the best reason yet to blow that thick layer of dust off your balance board.

  • Rise of the Argonauts
  • Rise of the Argonauts posted on 12/16/2008
  • Rise of the Argonauts wanted so very badly to be a thrilling action adventure and sought to draw gamers in with a combination of entertaining gameplay and stunning visuals. However, this adventure falls flat with a disappointing mix of substandard graphics and mediocre design. An inventive skill system rises to the occasion, but it's not nearly enough to save the game from epic shortcomings.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Rise of the Argonauts had mythic origins -- it's based on Jason's legendary quest for the fabled Golden Fleece -- but the only thing epic about it is the amount of failure it produces. Solid action and a cool skill system isn't enough to save a game marred by a poor presentation and dull design.
