Giant Bomb

A laundry list of risky changes pays off in this great new beginning for the Silent Hill series.

PixelJunk Shooter's considerable charm and clever mechanics make it stand out, but it ends without fully realizing its potential.

Playing this mediocre tie-in shooter might make you want to skip James Cameron's latest movie completely.

QIX++ is a lifeless remake that isn't good enough to attract new players or satisfy old ones.

Pandemic brings some pulpy flavor to this open-world WWII game, but its stylish charm doesn't quite overcome the rough edges or the sense that its best tricks are borrowed from other, better games.

Spirit Tracks is filled with good moments that tweak the series' standards in interesting ways.

Rogue Warrior is probably the most foul-mouthed game of all time, but that's not enough to distract you from the poor shooting and sometimes-ugly visuals.

Braid asks that you forget everything you know about time.

Thanks to the high-res treatment and bloodily timeless gameplay, these PS2 action classics hold up better than you might think.

Tony Hawk: RIDE's shoddy hardware and ill-conceived software merge to form something completely abysmal.

Quiz World has some rough spots, but if you've got a group of trivia fiends in your home, Buzz! has your back.

If more Left 4 Dead is what you're after, this sequel has it. A lot of it.

While technically accurate, the "New" in New Super Mario Bros. Wii is surrounded by all of the classic 2D platforming mechanics from Mario's past, making it more of a nostalgic product than something truly new. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

LEGO Rock Band's charming premise crumbles under the weight of a scattered track list and a clumsy execution that doesn't do justice to either LEGOs or Rock Band.

Chinatown Wars doesn't attempt to fully duplicate the console GTA experience, and the end result is a much better game than what PSP owners have received in the past.

To outsiders, the changes in Modern Warfare 2 might sound minor. But if you've played a significant amount of Call of Duty 4, they range from "neat idea" to "totally mindblowing."

It's Guitar Hero 5 with different graphics and a more diverse setlist. If you like these 65 songs, you should probably get Band Hero.

Runic's Diablo-like debut drills straight down to the core of what makes a great dungeon-crawling loot grind.

Tekken 6 is a great fighting game, but it's bogged down by a lot of extraneous baggage.

Without strong characters or story to rely on, The Ballad of Gay Tony highlights the ways in which open-world games have been refined and improved since the original release of Grand Theft Auto IV.
