I Want
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (Wii)

A bizarre, wonderfully trashy sequel, No More Heroes 2 adds a ton of cool new activities and boss fights without messing too much with what worked the first time. It ...

Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii)

With amazing bang for your buck, Metroid Prime Trilogy puts three great games in one. Sure, it may have the some minor issues present in all three games, but the ...

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)

Expanding on the original’s brilliance, this ingenious platformer only gets better by embracing the Wii’s limited capabilities and adds so many ideas, big and small, that we can ...

ICO (PS2)
Soft, slow and slightly soppy, there are few finer, moodier adventures around.
Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360)

Let’s keep it good and simple: Modern Warfare 2 is this year’s must-buy first-person shooter.

I'm playing
Skate 2 (Xbox 360)

This superb sequel only improves on this amazing skateboarding game. Has us saying, "Tony Hawk who?"

I've Beaten
Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360)
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.
Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360)
A beautiful, richly convoluted, sci-fi-tinged romp through the back alleys of Damascus, Acre and Jerusalem during the Third Crusade.
Batman: Arkham Asylum (Xbox 360)

This third-person action game takes Batman inside the iconic, ultra-creepy Arkham Asylum, and this stellar release raises the bar quite high for all future comic book games.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
It's the same Zelda we've been playing since 1998, tweaked and balanced to perfection.
MadWorld (Wii)
Take any old side-scrolling beat 'em-up, blanch it black and white like Sin City, dump gallons of bright red blood on it, and make it so violent it becomes funny ...
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop (Wii)
This Wii port of the original Dead Rising suffers from obvious technical limitations compared to the original, but this stripped down version is still satisfying on a very basic level.
I Love
No More Heroes (Wii)
This action-driven, lightsaber-whirling game steals liberally from the best of other genres. Even with its less-than-perfect presentation, it works wonderfully on the Wii.
Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
A remarkable adventure in a melancholy world unlike any you've seen before
Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)
The freedom may scare people used to more linear shooters and the simplified customization might disappoint hardcore RPGers, but if ever a game was worth broadening your horizons for, this ...
I Hate
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360)
When you actually get to bust out a Rage Against the Machine song by Rage themselves, there's nothing like it. It's another step in air-guitar fantasy fulfillment.
I'm Tracking
The Last Guardian (PS3)

The spiritual successor to Team ICO's Shadow of the Colossus sees a young boy team up with a Griffin-like creature in a charming adventure game.
