I Want
L.A. Noire (PS3)

L.A. Noire is a staggering technological achievement, offering up a fantastically detailed open world, a hugely engrossing story, varied gameplay and some of the best acting performances ever to ...

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (DS)

This is a superb transfer of the console GTA experience, which is shocking to see on this underpowered system.

Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3)

With the hype and excitement surrounding Treyarch's first Call of Duty where they aren't bound by a World War II setting, it's a shame that they went ...

I'm playing
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team (DS)
This dungeon crawler is fun for only the most ardent Pokemon fans.
The Conduit (Wii)

Finally a well-put together third party FPS for the Wii. Although the environments can be drab and enemy AI is undoubtably weak, this is bar none the best multiplayer experience ...

Guitar Hero World Tour (Wii)
Guitar Hero successfully branches out for its fourth core installment by adding drums and vocals to the mix, as well as featuring a diverse music studio that is a little ...
Scribblenauts (DS)

While there are a few puzzles with satisfyingly original solutions, the freedom to write anything you want is outweighed by the limitations of the core mechanic and the lousy controls.

New Super Mario Bros Wii (Wii)

Nintendo saved the industry with games like this, so we’re sad to say the latest lacks the imaginative spark found in past entries. Easily the weakest of the 2D ...

Pokemon HeartGold / SoulSilver (DS)

After almost a decade, Pokemon trainers can finally return to the Johto region, making hard-to-obtain Gold/Silver Pokemon like the starters (Chikorita, Totodile and Cyndaquil) much more accessible. This remake ...

I've Beaten
Pokemon Diamond / Pearl (DS)
The biggest series in handheld gaming comes to the DS with 3D graphics, plenty of new monsters and the same turn-based battling and exploration that originally made its fortunes.
Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)
The highly-anticipated sequel to the carjack-fest of the century is sure to satisfy all your mob and hooker related fantasy. Okay, maybe not ALL your hooker fantasies.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Four-player fighting returns with new characters like Wario, Pit from Kid Icarus - and yes, Solid Snake.
WWE SmackDown! vs Raw 2009 (Wii)

A sillier way to enjoy this wrestling franchise, that can be a little too light, but you may not notice while having fun.

New Super Mario Bros (DS)
Short and sweet, the Bros. first adventure in years packs in tons of classic moments and a hot two-player mode. Not to be missed.
I Love
Pokemon Diamond / Pearl (DS)
The biggest series in handheld gaming comes to the DS with 3D graphics, plenty of new monsters and the same turn-based battling and exploration that originally made its fortunes.
Pokemon Battle Revolution (Wii)
Pokemon's first Wii outing, which uses a DS link-up with the console during the game's battle sections.
WWE SmackDown! vs Raw 2009 (Wii)

A sillier way to enjoy this wrestling franchise, that can be a little too light, but you may not notice while having fun.

Pokemon Platinum (DS)

Lots of little things have been “freshened up” in Platinum, but there aren’t any major changes or additions – it’s really Diamond and Pearl again, dusted off, sprayed with ...

I Hate
The Simpsons Game (Wii)
Not so much a cohesive game as a series of "episodes", this is still head and shoulders above the spin-off games that have clouded Springfield's finest down the years.
I'm Tracking
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Four-player fighting returns with new characters like Wario, Pit from Kid Icarus - and yes, Solid Snake.
