Portal 2 (PS3)

This time around, GLaDOS' reign of physics-bending tyranny is a whole new cube game. In fact it's going to make Portal look like a trailer for the main event.

Sin and Punishment: Star Successor (Wii)

Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii)

Make no mistake - this is straightforward, walk-right-to-win platforming. It’s not re-writing the book on anything and it’s probably not game of the year material, but it’s just ...

Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)
The Professor's addictive mix of head scratchers and dark mystery will leave you begging for class to be in session. Just make sure you bring your thinking cap along ...

Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)

The streamlined, focused structure eliminates potential tedium without dumbing anything down, and the battle system strikes an elegant balance between strategy and fast-paced action. Stunningly beautiful graphics and a pervasively ...

Pokemon Black / White (DS)

It may not break the Pokemon mold, but Black/White offers enough new content coupled with the series' classic, deep battle mechanics to make it endlessly playable. If you could ...

3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3)

Though 3D Dot Game Heroes is a fun game on its own, it’s basically impossible to divorce it from the source. Your overall enjoyment depends on whether you’re ...

Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
A remarkable adventure in a melancholy world unlike any you've seen before
.hack//G.U. Vol. 3: Redemption (PS2)

Okami (Wii)
Despite its gorgeous updated visuals, the otherwise great Okami fumbles with its awkward implementation of the Wii controls.

An above-average strategy RPG that gets all the battlefield stuff right (though with lots of surprise enemy reinforcements) and tops it off with a lovable cast.

The World Ends With You (DS)
This game's trip to Shibuya proves that Squeenix can actually put a real game on a handheld and the results are pretty awesome.
Collecting Dust
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus (PS2)

Another entry and slight improvement of the current king of hand drawn fighters.

Okamiden (DS)

A spin-off to the quintessential "underappreciated gem," this Okami side-story features a puppy-sized version of the dog god and the child of two of the main characters in the first ...

Lost in Shadow (Wii)

Play as a boy's shadow as he attempts to climb around and up a mystical tower in this artsy-looking platform-adventure.  Along the way, you must solve mysteries, puzzles and ...
