Karaoke Rules Everything Around Me, K.R.E.A.M!  This release from Konami and developers 4mm Games and Terminal Reality is the fourth game under the Def Jam banner, but the first to center around music.  And although this title is a simple "sing along" game at heart, it has a lot of good qualities that can be built on. WU-TANG!

Gusto Games and O-Games have teamed up to bring PlayStation Move owners a new golf sim in John Daly's ProStroke Golf. Featuring "The Lion" John Daly and plenty of licensed gear and courses, ProStroke Golf is a decent start to what could eventually be a solid competitor to EA's market-holding Tiger Woods series.

The best 3D Castlevania title to date (despite little competition).

Ben Tennyson, aka Ben 10, is a popular Cartoon Network hero who I've only recently become familiar with thanks to a new game from Papaya and D3. Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction is a third person action adventure that features Ben and his pals trying to save Earth from certain destruction. While it does have its shortcomings, this newest Ben 10 title is still fun, and it also retails for...[Read More]

Nostalgia makes you do silly things. Fond memories of Sonic’s Genesis heyday proved to be sufficient rationale for constantly swallowing the bitter pills like Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Sonic and the Black Knight, and Sonic Unleashed. Those weren’t good games, hell, sometimes they weren’t even finished games. I’ve not only been there, I...[Read More]

From its goose bump-inducing introduction, to its celebratory perspective on a legendary career, NBA 2K11 does more than the typical yearly sports iteration. The annually-released sports norm has been established: update the rosters, refine a few mechanics, and occasionally introduce a feature. Taking a newer, fresher perspective on the sports sim genre, NBA 2K11 overthrows the old regime by intro...[Read More]

It’s absolutely no surprise that Electronic Arts went all out on their newly released (as of today) Medal of Honor title. Executive Producer Greg Goodrich promised us that the campaign mode for Medal of Honor would focus on a group of soldiers, who we would eventually care for emotionally by the end of the game. No far-fetched storylines involving the destruction of the world; yet just pure focus ...[Read More]

Sometimes it simply doesn't take a lot to become better and FIFA Soccer 11 proves this very well.

Developer Fun Lab and Publisher Activision recently released the newest version of the Rapala series of fishing games. The biggest difference with Rapala Pro Bass Fishing this time around is control thanks to the wireless rod and reel controller that ships with the game. Let's go fishin'...

Back in 2006, when I got my Wii on launch day, one of my favorite games (even a few weeks later) was the golf game in Wii Sports. Golf is a good game to use with motion controllers due to the simple nature of the controls, so it's no surprise that the Wii has seen at least a half dozen golf games in its library to date. Now, with the PS3 adding its own motion control with the PS Move, you can expe...[Read More]

Lara Croft and the Guardian Light is not a lesson in raiding tombs, but an all-out assault on everything that lies within. In her latest adventure, the player’s perspective is relegated from the behind Lara’s polygonal short-shorts to the often-ignored isometric angle. Of course, any sensible gamer will be privy to the fact that a switch an isometric view is not a relegation at all. In all truth, ...[Read More]

The Atelier series by developer Gust has a long history. The games began on the PlayStation in the late '90s, but only in Japan. The series made its way to North America in 2005 with the first PS2 Atelier game, and has also made appearances on the Nintendo DS and GBA. This week sees the launch of the first Atelier game on current gen hardware, namely, the PS3. Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist Of Arla...[Read More]
