It seemed promising when we saw one of the first playable builds back at the E3 2008. We were excited about the final product and if Valve will live up to its reputation of dishing out good shooters. Find out more in our Left 4 Dead (PC) review.

With a rich and long history behind it, the Mortal Kombat franchise gets yet another iteration. This time around, characters from MK are accompanied by DC super-heroes, ranging from Superman and Batman, to The Flash and Wonder Woman (I'll let you dwell on the fact that clashes are possible between Scorpion and Wonder Woman... think of the possibilities). To find out more about Midway's latest fighting game, read our Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe review.

Thrilling cop chases, exciting racing events, story-driven gameplay and an open world to explore. These used to be the defining characteristics of Need for Speed; at least when we were playing Underground, Most Wanted and such. The franchise's reputation was gracefully cast into the toilet with last year's launch of Need for Speed: Pro Street...

Ubisoft Montreal delivers its latest addition to the Prince of Persia franchise. The Prince has a new, spiffy, cel-shaded style look and he's not alone in his dangerous journey. Elika is there to keep him company (shut up; not that kind of company... at least not yet). Anyhow, we invite you to check out review of Prince of Persia for the Xbox 360.

2lions brings you his full impressions of Blizzard's expansion pack. After four long years of its existence, World of Warcraft -- the insanely popular MMORPG -- continues to dominate sales charts. Naturally, we were interested to see if Blizzard delivered yet another rewarding add-on. To find out if their efforts were crowned with success, check out our review of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

Destiny brings us yet another World War II themed game, just in case, by some unforeseen miracle, you haven't played a dozen or so WW II games before. Anyway, if you're thinking whether or not Treyarch created a game worthy of the Call of Duty franchise, check out our Call of Duty: World at War (360) review.

Curious to see if Lara lost her touch? Does she still have that spark she had all those years ago? She most certainly does... appearance wise. In fact she looks better than ever. However, there's more about gameplay than gazing at an enticing female body, right? We'd like to think so. To find out more about Crystal Dynamics' latest game, check out our Tomb Raider Underworld (360) review.

DICE launches its first-person parkour inspired action game. This one's about the thrill of the chase or should I say, the thrill of being chased. If you're wondering if Mirror's Edge (360) is worth your patience and hard-earned money, feel free to check out our review of the game.

Prolonging the life of the C&C franchise, EA takes us back to the flashy, stylish world of Red Alert. Three powerful factions, co-op play and familiar gameplay mechanics, flavored with music themes from Frank Klepacki. If you're not sure whether or not to dive into the RTS experience that is Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, read our review first.

Let the testosterone flow. Epic Games launches its shooter sequel in an effort to, once again, push the limits of the Xbox 360 technology. Visuals don't make a great game, of course, which is why they've also worked hard to incorporate an assortment of new elements such as fresh weapons, more vehicle sections, improved multiplayer and so on. Is it a better game? To find out if Epic pulled it off, check out our review of Gears of War 2.

It took us a bit longer than expected, but we are finally ready to share our thoughts on Ubisoft Montreal's first-person shooter sequel. There are a number of things you should know about this title before you dash off and buy yourself a copy. To find out more, check out our Far Cry 2 (360) review.

Well, children, I was determined to play this game all the way through to the end credits. Combining intense action with heavy RPG elements, Fallout 3 casts players into a fictional post-apocalyptic setting of Washington DC. Bethesda spent many years fine-tuning this one and have clearly worked hard to appeal to a wider audience, as well as hardcore Fallout fans. To find out if the experience is worth your time and cash, read our Fallout 3 360 review.

EA's new IP Dead Space finally makes it to store shelves. The publisher strongly promoted this one for the past year and we've been itching to try out the survival horror game and see if it can deliver the kind of experience we hoped. Check out our review of Dead Space (Xbox 360).

Vortex grenades, tectonic-based weaponry, explosions everywhere... Hm, there's gotta be more to it than that, right? That's certainly what we expected. Fracture focuses on terrain deformation and gives you a chance to alter the shape of the ground before you, thus gaining crucial tactical advantage in the face of your enemies...

Our buddy Vince has been jamming for days with the Xbox 360 edition of MTV Games' Rock Band 2. "Fans need to know if what they getting with Rock Band 2 is just a new set of songs with some minor feature tweaks or is it what it claims to be: a worthy successor to the original game with new material, better gameplay and of course, more new songs. So what is it? Add-on or sequel?" You can find out in our Rock Band 2 review.
