‘Uncharted 2: Among Thieves’ review
by GameWit
Sony’s Indiana Jones-meets-”Tomb Raider”-meets Rambo adventure game is the best movie I’ve ever played.

“Brütal Legend” review
by GameWit
Don’t let some critics’ tough talk about “Brütal Legend,” the latest game from Sonoma native Tim Schafer, deter you from experiencing one of the most interesting worlds and well-told tales gaming has to offer.

Adventure game renaissance
by GameWit
“The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition” on PC and Xbox Live turns back the clock to the early ’90s, but without all those jagged pixels.

The Beatles: Rock Band review
by GameWit
With “The Beatles: Rock Band,” Harmonix Music Systems and MTV Games have fashioned a must-play title for anyone with even a shred of curiosity about the Fab Four. The Fab Four’s songs might be the lone musical force capable of uniting a baby boomer, Gen Xer, millennial and whatever they’re calling little kids these days for an evening of banging on fake plastic instruments.

“The Bigs 2″ review
by GameWit
“The Bigs 2″ is easily 2K Sports’ most polished baseball title since the company entered into its exclusive partnership with Major League Baseball before the 2006 season. But it’s also the kind of game that will infuriate gamers who quit when the going gets tough.

“Wii Sports Resort” review
by GameWit
Wii MotionPlus turns the Wii remote from blunt tool into a sophisticated instrument. “Wii Sports Resort,” which comes bundled with the accessory, is a great showcase for the Wii’s bag of new tricks, even if a few of the minigames are somewhat lacking.

Review: ‘Space Invaders Extreme,’ ‘Arkanoid Live!’
by GameWit
Taito dusts off “Space Invaders” and “Arkanoid,” applies a fresh coat of paint and some techno beats and gets one hit and one miss. “Space Invaders Extreme” is a fun reworking of a classic game, while “Arkanoid Live!” fails to differentiate itself enough from its predecessor to justify a $10 price tag.

Review: Magic: The Gathering on Xbox 360
by GameWit
The popular Magic: The Gathering collectible card game makes a solid, if somewhat simple, debut in a $10 downloadable game called “Duels of the Planeswalkers.”

PS3’s “inFAMOUS” a crash course in being a superhero
by GameWit
Despite a plot ripped from the pages of countless comic books, the brilliantly written “inFAMOUS” nails what it must feel like to be a newly minted superhero. You’ll flex your muscles and think, “Look what I can do,” as you shoot lightning from your hands and skate across power lines. But you’ll also grow weary of administering to the sick, chasing down muggers and posing for photographs when you’ve got bigger fish to fry.

Review: “1 vs. 100″ – Xbox Live’s next killer app?
by GameWit
A free online game show challenges our entertainment-on-demand culture by forcing Xbox 360 owners to log on during primetime to compete for prizes. Complete with a live host, it’s a throwback to the days before TiVo and VCRs. It’s also kinda awesome.
