Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
"... while Uncharted will frustrate you, it also has the capacity to be thrilling and fun. The game offers up some amazing visuals and the gameplay is perfectly paced. You're always doing something interesting, whether it's investigating ancient ruins, trading bullets with modern-day pirates, or skydiving out of a burning airplane. And even though I never truly bought into the story, I still wanted to help Nathan solve the mystery behind Sir Francis Drake's diary."
Folklore
"Folklore also plays out in a fairly linear fashion, though the levels that you traverse are interesting. From the Hell Realm to the Faery Realm to the Undersea City, the locales are unique and wonderful. Despite the game's faults, I was drawn into the game for the same reasons that we are drawn into fairy tales--I wanted to see what was just around the next corner. "
skate.
"While the search for money and recognition is the driving force behind this game, there are plenty of side challenges to divert your attention. There's also more than ample opportunity for skating around the city and just messing around; which may actually be the most fun aspect of the game and makes me wonder if these games even need set goals."
Sega Rally Revo
"People looking for the thrill of lighting paced races should look no further. Rally throws you into the driver's seat without much fuss, and races rarely disappoint your hunger for speed. But fans of racing games full of special objectives and cool upgrades will be disappointed; there's something kind of refreshing about this simple approach, but it doesn't give the gamer much motivation to play for the long haul."
Warhawk
"Going online is delightfully painless and simple, and as soon as you join a game, your character will spawn at your chosen drop point. Immediately, there is no doubt you are at war; bullets are flying by your head, bombs are exploding off in the distance, and a thick cloud of smoke billows out of a burning building."
