I Want
The Sims 3 (PC)
What EA has done is create a platform for a new generation of expansion packs and downloadable content. If you already have expansion packs for Sims 2 that add seasons ...
Midnight Club: Los Angeles (PS3)
Rockstar pimps out another installment in its underground racing series, Midnight Club.
Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

Has just enough changes, including the amazing online co-op, to keep this feeling new while drawing heavily on all the good in RE4. A Gold Edition that includes DLC content ...

I'm playing
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance (PC)
This stand-alone expansion brings more of what people loved about the original game - huge armies, big explosions, and endless battles. Too bad it's way too dense for newcomers to ...
Galactic Civilizations II: Endless Universe (PC)

This combination of expansion love for Gal Civ makes the crazy deep strategy title even more awesome.

X3: Terran Conflict (PC)

This entry in a great series meets the high standard set by its predecessors. It isn't that friendly to newcomers, but worth getting familiar with.

I've Beaten
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (PC)

This great game is ridiculous and it knows it, so just laugh along while playing a deep strategy game with humor to spare.

Crysis (PC)
Despite its occasional lapse, it is a game with a taste of the future - of what can and will be done with PC gaming. At its root it recognises that ...
Armored Core 4 (Xbox 360)
A fantastic giant robot construction kit that just can't find a decent action game to make it complete.
Fable II (Xbox 360)

This is role-playing in the child's sense: dress up and pretend. Despite the long load times and clunky inventory screens you can be who you want and have a ...

Mass Effect (PC)
Graphics are sharp and the story is one worth multiple plays - even if it only has one ending. This RPG/Shooter gives an actual sense of space exploration.
Sins of a Solar Empire (PC)
A slow-paced and large-scale real-time strategy that incorporates all the best parts of the traditionally turn-based 4X games. It would be an unforgivable sin for a strategy fan to pass ...
Collecting Dust
Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (PC)
The most influential strategy game to date returns with a radically updated look, but reaches into the past and brings back our favorite vehicles.
I Love
Spore (PC)
SimCity creator Will Wright is creating his most ambitious simulation ever: one for the entire universe.
Shaun White Snowboarding (Xbox 360)

Pretty plain and flat compared to, say, SSX, but it's a solid downhill experience with a very open online system.

Civilization IV (PC)
Even if you've never played a Civilization game, you're in for a treat. There's never been a better time to jump into the strategy genre and conquer ...
Midnight Club: Los Angeles (PS3)
Rockstar pimps out another installment in its underground racing series, Midnight Club.
Rock Band 2 (Xbox 360)
This refined entry replaces the original Rock Band as quite possibly the most fun-filled four person co-op game in creation. Just don't go looking for a huge evolutionary jump.
Overlord II (PC)

For a simple combination of some basic ideas, Overlord II’s an incredibly fun game. The depth is obscured behind some console-minded interfaces – running around your tower to access what ...
