Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks

27/10/2009

What do the following have in common? Echo Echo, Goop, Brainstorm, ChromaStone, Big Chill, Humungousaur, Spidermonkey, Swampfire, Jet Ray, and Cannonbolt. No, they're not all terrible band names - they're the 10 alien personalities you'll get to take control of as Ben 10 in this brand-new adventure.

Shadow of Rome

4/02/2005

Taking place during the fall of Caesar, this game is insanely bloody and gives off the vibe of the film Gladiator.

Up

Pixar's latest film offering has, not surprisingly, a videogame tie-in.

Marvel Super Hero Squad

23/10/2009

Play as your favorite Marvel heroes, only small and kiddie-looking. Dr. Doom has never looked this adorable.

The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun

Secret Saturdays on PS2 comes off as way clumsier and less-fun than both its Cartoon Network series origins and its other console siblings.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes

9/10/2009

Taking place between the second and third prequels, this game is based on the similarly named animated series. Not only do you play as Jedis in the game, but also clone troopers.

G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra

7/08/2009

G.I. JOE will feature an exclusive storyline that picks up where the upcoming movie leaves off, and will feature 12 G.I. JOE characters, each with unique abilities and weapons.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

23/06/2009

Play as Autobot or Decepticon in the game based on the summer blockbuster. Features online multiplayer to help you re-enact those transformer battles you imagined as a child.

Monsters vs Aliens

27/03/2009

Based on an upcoming DreamWorks animated movie, Monsters vs Aliens allows you to play as various characters, including The Missing Link, the macho half-ape, half-fish; the gelatinous, indestructible and always hungry B.O.B.; Ginormica, the 49-foot-11-inch tall woman and Insectosaurus, the 350-foot tall grub.

Secret Service

The Secret Service videogame is not approved, endorsed or authorized by the U.S. Secret Service.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2

24/04/2009

Based on an anime series featuring androgynous pilots fighting each other and accidentally dying/falling in love/wearing sunglasses in space, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 in theory should be the best thing ever. That theory was last seen trapped in a single plane of repetitive movement in deep space.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

25/09/2009

Gaming's biggest collection of Marvel heroes in one place returns, and this time the action takes place during the Civil War between the capes.

Tak and the Guardians of Gross

Kid friendly games don't have to aim high, as Tak continually proves, but this one comes out reasonably fun, especially to kids who don't know better.

Ben 10 Alien Force

Ben 10 follows the adventures of a boy who discovers a wristwatch that enables him to transform into different aliens all while retaining his 10-year-old personality. This means he's still a little wussy boy even after he turns into some big alien.

The Tale of Despereaux

Despereaux is an outcast because of his gigantic ears. We all know he'll use them in the end to save the day. Just a guess, but he probably loves cheese.

CID the Dummy

17/04/2009

The cute exterior and clever idea mask a bland inside and empty platforming experience in this depressingly typical title.

Warriors Orochi 2

19/09/2008

The empty exercise of describing how soulless these Warriors games are has become almost as repetitive as the games themselves. It's the same game as all the others. Really. That's it. If you own a Warriors game made in the last 4 years, then you don't need this one.

Quantum of Solace

4/11/2008

It may be in third-person instead of first, but it's not much better than its average, current-gen FPS brothers.

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon

21/11/2008

Once again Spyro can do no better than be too boring and difficult for the kids it wants to sell to, while being too kiddy for adults. On the other hand the drop-in/drop-out co-op is good, and Elijah Wood is good as Spyro's voice actor.

Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant

31/10/2008

Entry number 15 (!) in the Crash Bandicoot series offers more action, more platforming, and adds the abillity to hijack your opponent's abillities. The controls are a bit squirrely but Mind Over Mutant has lots to do and lavish effects.
