Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice
PlayStation Portable
Extreme Justice plays like an action movie with super hero cops spouting really lame dialog all the way through a truly pathetic story arc which nonetheless doesn't quite totally detract from the fact that the action is truly a lot of fun.

Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey
Wii
If there's one invaluable lesson kids can learn from Disney, it's that little girls, full of wonder and irrepressible innocence, sparkle and shine, never, ever wear pants. Way to go, Walt.

NFL Tour
PlayStation 3
Poor EA, damned and damned for do or don't fixing of that which ain't broke. NFL Tour is a "fixed up," new-generation version of EA Sports Big ol' NFL Street, which wasn't broke, dammit, but it sure is now... Damn don't do-doo is what it is.

My Word Coach
Nintendo DS
Cheaper, more intuitive and just plain slightly better than its Wii-based sibling, the DS version of My Word Coach actually gives "edutianment" software a good name... for 15 minutes a day or so.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Nintendo DS
Turn-based strategy games seem to particularly suit the little slab of portable gaming joy that is the Nintendo DS, and if there's one franchise that's damn-near synonymous with portable strategy, it's the Advance Wars series.

Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey
PlayStation 2
Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey is an oddball historical hybrid -- superficially similar in its port-to-port mechanics to the classic Sid Meier's Pirates!, yet set against the pseudo-historical backdrop of the Union Blockade of the American Civil War. It's partly traditional port-hopper, partly role-playing game, partly action-oriented fighting game... and, sadly, it bites off a bit more than it can chew.

My Word Coach
Wii
Or sure, killing aliens and jumping trucks over volcanoes is fun, but do they make you more loquacious? If only there was a videogame that made your vocabulary gooder. Now that would be cool.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
PlayStation 3, Windows PC, Xbox 360
First off, no one got fired in the writing of this review. Secondly, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men pretty much sucks. It's not hopeless in the cinematic sense, just unlikeable in the likability sense.

Rock Band
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
If you're going to take any greater a rock-star plunge than this -- in terms of time, personnel, gear, money or visible earnestness -- you might just as well develop some actual musical talent and join a real band.

Trauma Center: New Blood
Wii
For anyone suffering symptoms of medical drama withdrawal, try a trip to the digital O.R. Trauma Center: New Blood is the latest addition of the interactive surgery franchise... is there another type of surgery?

New Game Reviews
NBA Live 09 PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 If you're a basketball fan and a gamer, you probably feel compelled to buy a new NBA game every year for updated rosters if nothing else. This year, the one to buy is not NBA Live 09.
Fallout 3 Windows PC Fallout 3 follows in the auspicious footsteps of role-playing/shooter hybrids before it, Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and BioShock, widely accepted as Game of the Year in 2006 and 2007 respectively. '08 just might be the year of the Fallout. But maybe not...
Fallout 3 Xbox 360 Fallout 3 follows in the auspicious footsteps of role-playing/shooter hybrids before it, Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and BioShock, widely accepted as Game of the Year in 2006 and 2007 respectively. '08 just might be the year of the Fallout -- on Xbox 360, anyway (the PC version could've been better).
LEGO Batman: The Videogame Xbox 360 Seems this trippin'-the-plastic-fantastic thing just doesn't get old. LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Star Wars Complete, LEGO Indiana Jones and now LEGO Batman. So what's next? LEGO Terminator? LEGO Desperate Housewives? LEGO Jerry Springer?
NBA 2k9 Xbox 360 The battle of the basketball sims between EA Sports and 2K Sports has been going on for several years now and heading into the end of this decade, 2K Sports has edged its way into the lead, surpassing gameplay and presentation every iteration.
