"Tiger Woods: PGA Tour 10" bundle (rated E, $60 on Wii, includes Wii MotionPlus): You can play this game on just about any modern console or handheld, but only on the Wii can you pick up the game bundled with Wii MotionPlus, the new add-on for the Wii remote that [...]
First off, if you own an PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, and you haven't used it to download or stream the numerous E3-related videos Sony and Microsoft have made available, you're a bad gamer. There's so much cool footage to check out you could easily burn up an evening or [...]
"inFAMOUS" (rated T, $60 for PlayStation 3): I'm itching to try out Sucker Punch's PS3-exclusive, open-world superhero adventure. For one thing, the creation of a new superhero unshackles the game's writers from the expectations of fans and the oversight of a license holder. They'll never have to hear the words, [...]
Even though Nintendo's console is far and away the top seller this generation, great, buzz-generating games can trickle out in dribs and drabs. Oh, sure, there's an ample slate of new releases every week, but most of 'em have titles like "Help Wanted: 50 Wacky Jobs!" and "Hannah Montana the [...]
"Rag Doll Kung-Fu: Fists of Plastic" (rated E10+, free on PlayStation Network through Wednesday): It's pretty hard to complain about a free game, so you might as well grab this one, which normally sells for $10. The sequel to a game from 2005 is meant to be the PlayStation Network's [...]
"Fallout 3" (rated M, $60 on Xbox 360, $50 on PC): Bethesda Softworks' post-nuclear role-playing game/shooter hybrid got the third and last of its announced expansions this week. (Rumors of a fourth are already percolating, however.) "Broken Steel" adds several hours of gameplay in the form of new quests, but [...]
The two most noteworthy games in stores this week both look like they could be worth playing. Despite its movie tie-in roots, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine -- Uncaged Edition" (rated M, $60 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, $40 on PC) looks like a semi-competent hack-and-slash title, although it seems like [...]
If you're a lapsed "World of Warcraft" player looking for an excuse to relapse, this week's expansion pack, "Wrath of the Lich King" ($40, rated T) should provide plenty of justification. "Lich King" adds a new continent to explore in the form of the lazily named frigid land of Northrend. [...]
The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 go head-to-head this week with a pair of blockbuster, M-rated exclusives. "Gears of War 2," the follow-up to the 360's first megahit, features burly, hypermasculine dudes battling hordes of aliens that emerge from underground on a distant, Earth-like world. In a lot of ways, [...]
It won't get the ink of "Grand Theft Auto IV," but if "Fallout 3" isn't on the short list for Game of the Year, I'll smash up my copy of the game and eat it in front of my editor. The latest title from "The Elder Scrolls" developer Bethesda Softworks [...]
