Giant Bomb

Touch My Katamari offers up one distinctly cool new idea for the series while more or less surrounding that idea with the same stuff we've already played to death.

Syndicate gives you a great set of tools that make shooting at the world around you a lot of fun whether you're playing alone or with a team.

Escape Plan never quite breaks out beyond its initial level of promise, but such as it is, it's a decent little puzzler for an OK price.

Warp offers an endearing premise and unique puzzle-solving, but it's held back by some basic mechanical issues.

Electronic Symphony brings a host of great music and beautiful skin designs to the time-tested Lumines formula.

The pieces of a tremendous Wipeout game are present in 2048, but it's hard to look past the game's annoying interface, wicked-long load screens, and underwhelming sense of speed.

The Vita version of Rayman: Origins may lack a few of the mechanical touches of its console brethren, but in terms of sheer beauty and fun, little is lost in translation.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss feels like a made-for-cable version of a proper, big-screen Uncharted adventure.

Super Stardust Delta delivers frantic action and flashy effects at a nice, downloadable price.

The framework of Monolith's new multiplayer shooter might not be wildly original, but its nonsensical humor sure is.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning creates an interesting world and gives you good combat options, but the whole thing overstays its welcome a bit.

Digital Extremes ably picks up where Starbreeze left off, crafting a satisfyingly brutal adventure that only rarely loses its way.

NeverDead's one-note dismemberment gimmick wears out its welcome long before you reach the game's miserable conclusion.

Genkibowl VII is a bad deal on its own and a very disappointing update for Saints Row season pass holders.

Crafting irradiated shotguns to better dispatch the undead is a great idea, but clunky combat and a lack of mission variety keep this downloadable shooter from realizing its potential.

Trine 2 might be one of the prettiest games ever made, and it makes some small but important additions to its predecessor's formula, too.

This game is practically a war crime.

Skylanders is probably aimed at kids, but whatever. I am a legal adult who can drink, buy pornography, rent a car, and vote... and I think it's still pretty cool.

The interactive elements of To the Moon exist solely in service of pushing you through its story, but it's a story very much worth pushing through.

Confident execution of a familiar formula makes for a fun multiplayer experience, when the circumstances are right.
