Reviews

Men in Black III review (Movies)

Men in Black returns, and it's a fun time with plenty of enjoyment to be had. If you're looking for a good movie to watch, you really can't go wrong with this one.

Dead Hungry Diner review (PC)

While it's not at Plants vs. Zombies levels of great, this casual game provides a fun restaurant management experience with enjoyably light puzzles.

Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock Review (PSN)

While there's a good idea behind this downloadable title, it never comes off as more than a not-so-good licensed tie-in.

Game of Thrones: 'Blackwater' recap and review (TV)

With a big finale coming next week, the latest episode of Game of Thrones comes in strong and delivers an incredible showing.

Resistance: Burning Skies review (Vita)

While it may not be perfect, this Vita first-person shooter still manages to deliver a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre looking for something to play on Sony's handheld.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier review (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

Great action sequences, incredible stealth gameplay, a good story, and fun online play all combine to deliver one hell of a military shooter.

Joy Ride Turbo review (XBLA)

Fun gameplay and a nice price tag make up this Xbox Live Arcade racer.

Sorcery review (PSN)

While its Move implementation is commendable, motion controls slightly hamper this experience. It's still good, but with traditional controls, it probably would've been great. Worth playing, though? Yeah, it is.

Max Payne 3 review (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

Rockstar delivers an action-packed shooter with the latest entry in the Max Payne series, rife with a compelling single-player mode and addictive online multiplayer that will keep gamers playing for a long time.

Gravity Rush review (Vita)

Featuring innovative gameplay that's just a joy to experience, Gravity Rush is a must buy title for any Vita owner looking for a great game to play.

Dragon’s Dogma review (Xbox 360, PS3)

While its world isn't all that spectacular, there's a lot to like in Capcom's latest action RPG effort.
