- Excitebots: Trick Racing posted on 4/20/2009
- Having Excitebots: Trick Racing in your Wii is like having a fridge filled with nothing but cake. You might enjoy it for awhile, but too much of it may make you sick or hyper.

- Dark Sector (PC) posted on 4/20/2009
- Almost exactly one year has passed since Dark Sector first arrived on store shelves for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Why this PC port has taken so long is anyone's guess, but don't mistake the delay for any relation to new content or big gameplay tweaks, because this re-release is about as copy-and-paste as they come. But that's not entirely a bad thing.

- Puzzle Quest: Galactrix posted on 4/15/2009
- Not only is Galactrix engrossing and habit forming, it's challenging. My wife was yelling at me to shut up while as I was playing it because I was cursing up a storm, a sure sign I've met a game that's putting my brain through its paces.

- The Dark Spire posted on 4/14/2009
- Atlus' The Dark Spire was described to me as an old school western-style fantasy RPG full of Elves, Dwarfs, Halflings and Warrior Men. Considering I adorn my walls with two Lord of the Rings posters, fill my pockets with a FFX pocket watch, and feel the urge to sing every time I hear the theme to the Never Ending Story (shut up), this seemed right up my alley. That is, until, I got my ass handed to me by a band of ill-tempered bats. But, we'll get to that later.

- Rhythm Heaven posted on 4/7/2009
- Take one shot of PaRappa the Rapper's Simon Says-esque gameplay, a few dashes of WarioWare's fast-paced, addictive mini-games and top it all off with a hefty dose of Elite Beat Agents' off-the-wall touch screen mechanics (shaken, not stirred), and you've got a delightfully original experience with Nintendo's DSi flagship title, Rhythm Heaven.

- Dragon Ball: Evolution posted on 4/8/2009
- While it's certainly not the best (or worst) fighting game available on the PSP, Dragon Ball Evolution just might surprise hardcore DBZ series purists with its accessible fighting engine. Well, emphasis on "might." Despite horrible graphics, spotty A.I., and some severely unbalanced characters, Dragon Ball Evolution on PSP at least delivers fast action and multiple modes of play.

- The Godfather II (PS3) posted on 4/7/2009
- It was bound to happen eventually. Grand Theft Auto's success gave birth to so many imitators that it was just a matter of time before someone found a way to out-Rockstar Rockstar. That's exactly what EA has accomplished with Godfather II-it improves upon the 'crime boss' aspect of GTA and becomes the experience by which other crime games must be judged. It isn't the best open-world game out there but it does a sublime job of capturing what it feels like to be the head of a virtual crime family.

- The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (PS3) posted on 4/7/2009
- What you're about to read is my second attempt to review Dark Athena. My first review was too critical of Dark Athena because, when compared to Escape from Butcher Bay-a remake is included on the disc and I highly recommend you play it first-it looks a little weak. But I started over again when I realized that Dark Athena isn't a stand-alone title so much as it is a complement to Butcher Bay; that's when it dawned on me that I should be treating the two titles as a total package. In that light, Dark Athena starts to shine a hell of a lot brighter.

Pick of the Week
Ninja Blade
Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa has met his match with Ninja Blade. In this hack-and-slash action epic, you'll brutally kill monsters and mutants with your ninja weapons and training. This one has won raves from the GamePro editors for its over-the-top action, and could make a great tide-me-over for God of War III.
