Console gamers spent most of their winter bundled up and armed to the teeth, raining heavy weapons down upon endless streams of giant bugs. Their home planet, an icy rock unfit for any living thing, made the perfect battleground both in the game and in reality - winter is the least-forgiving season for most of the country, after all. But now in bright, sunny June, the idea of traversing a snowy plain ravaged by a building-sized worm might actually come as a welcome reprieve from the sweltering heat. To this end, we present our extensive Lost Planet coverage from the Xbox 360 version, plus a review of the brand-spankin' new PC version.

Review, walkthrough, token guide, movies, multiplayer impressions, it's all here. Just choose your path below.
