Nov 22, 2010 'Medal of Honor' misfires The 'Medal of Honor' single player campaign ends abruptly after about 4 hours of in-game play and is symptomatic of a game that feels as though developers rushed it to the market before it could meet its full potential.

Oct 15, 2010 'Dead Rising 2': Die, zombies, die, die! 'Dead Rising 2' offers what seems like an infinite number of creative and often hilarious ways to waste zombies, and if that's your idea of an afternoon's fun, this game is a sadistic masterpiece. Serious flaws in gameplay and a relatively sloppy storyline though, ultimately keep this game from being one of the year's best.

Aug 4, 2010 Fatal flaw ruins 'UFC Undisputed 2010' An avid mixed martial arts fan, my expectations of 2009's 'UFC Undisputed' were not great. MMA offered a terrific platform for an immersive sports game but developers would have to deliver the authenticity and nuances of the rapidly-growing combat sport.

May 31, 2010 'Super Street Fighter IV': 1991 looks awesome! If you want a video game revolution you need to look no further than 1991's 'Street Fighter II'. For almost 20 years, game developer Capcom has essentially been following the same formula. Sometimes though, a classic formula can't be topped. Rather than redo, Capcom has decided to redux the thrills of the early 1990s brawler for 'Super Street Fighter IV'. The results are nothing short of fantastic.

May 10, 2010 'Mass Effect' DLC will please fans Premium downloadable content (DLC) can be a boondoggle. In theory, it's a great way to extend the value of a game but at times, it can be an overpriced cash-grab. You pay roughly seven or eight dollars (more than 10% the cost of the original game) and often get trivial add-on material.

Mar 24, 2010 'Battlefield': Fun but far-fetched EA and Activision are embroiled in a sort of Pepsi versus Coca-Cola type brand warfare. The two gaming giants go back and forth, each creating competing franchises in popular gaming genres in their quest to dominate the gaming world.

Feb 9, 2010 'Mass Effect 2' revolutionizes storytelling Forza Motorsport 3 does what quite possibly no racing game has done before. It combines the graphics and technical excellence of the best racing simulators with terrific accessibility.

Nov 5, 2009 'Forza 3' is a joy ride Forza Motorsport 3 does what quite possibly no racing game has done before. It combines the graphics and technical excellence of the best racing simulators with terrific accessibility.

Oct 9, 2009 'NHL 10' passes the Molson test Here's the dilemma, you've got two hours to kill before the game, and 12 pack of Molson Canadian to polish off. EA's NHL franchise has always filled this time void for thousands of Canadian hockey fans. It ensures that after a few beers, the jerseys stay on and we all go home friends.
