  • We Cheer 2
  • We Cheer 2 posted on 11/23/2009
  • Following the mildly successful cheer-captain simulation from 2008, We Cheer 2 offers up more of the same pop-infused tunes and choreographed dance routines. Reviewer Aaron Koehn was put off by its lackluster presentation and simplistic gameplay, but couldn't fault the game for appealing to its target demographic.
  • Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines
  • Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines posted on 11/23/2009
  • With two stellar installments under its belt, Ubisoft has established Assassins Creed as a bona-fide franchise on the same level as Metal Gear and Halo. The downside of this is the inevitable flood of related products that hope to cash-in on the name recognition factor. Bloodlines, a spin-off title for the PSP, tries to live up to the high bar but it doesnt come quite close, resulting in a flawed experience whose greatest assest is that it doesnt completely sully the franchises reputation.
  • Band Hero
  • Band Hero (DS) posted on 11/23/2009
  • With three portable iterations of Guitar Hero currently on store shelves, it was inevitable that Activision would introduce the full-on band experience onto Nintendo's popular handheld -- but how well does it work? Reviewer Megan Watt tried her hand at the DS version of Band Hero, but the lack of a career mode and On Tour's infamous hand-cramping peripheral really hurts the overall experience.
  • Torchlight
  • Torchlight posted on 11/23/2009
  • It looks like that terribly long wait for Diablo 3 just got a bit shorter. Torchlight, a new dungeon crawler courtesy of some of Diablo's own devs has hit store shelves, and reviewer Jason Wilson is having plenty of trouble putting it down. An expansive fantasy world with addictive fast-paced combat and a budget price tag, Torchlight is a must-own for fans of the loot-n-grind genre of dungeon crawlers.
  • New Super Mario Bros. Wii
  • New Super Mario Bros. Wii posted on 11/17/2009
  • We've seen him tackle the race-track, olympic games, and even seen him take off into space to conquer the final frontier but Mario and friends are returning to their sidescrolling roots with New Super Mario Bros. Wii. But does it stack up to the high bar set by Mario's past efforts? Reviews Editor Tae K. Kim ventured off to find out and found himself taking a journey into his own gaming past.
  • Left 4 Dead 2
  • Left 4 Dead 2 posted on 11/16/2009
  • The original Left 4 Dead made surviving a zombie outbreak more fun anyone thought possible. The formula was dead simple -- four survivors against an unending horde of infected -- but the stellar map designs and perfectly balanced combat made for some genuinely tense moments. It quickly became an online staple and now, the sequel is here to offer up more opportunities to hunt down the infected horde.
