PS2 Review: Bully
It’s impossible to divorce Bully from the controversy it’s created. There was so much that Rockstar itself shrunk from the scrutiny and steadfastly refused to show the game to anyone for months. Now the curtain’s been pulled back, and Bully can be revealed for what it really is: a sometimes flawed, occasionally gross and boorish, but oftentimes clever adventure game.

PS2 Review: Rule of Rose
Set in a weird dream-like reality, Rule of Roses takes the innate Freudian primal urges that dwell beneath your collective unconscious and forcefully slaps you in the face with it. Add in a dash of psychodrama thriller, the look and feel of the classic survivor horror game Silent Hill and a dash of homoerotic Alice and Wonderland vibe and you’ve got the recipe for an unctuous stew of mind-tripping madness. But is it fun to play?

Xbox 360 Review: Bomberman Act: Zero
Classic Bomberman is scrapped for a darker, less friendly take on the series, one where a world war rages on, and an immoral quest for ultimate power leads to human experimentation. But is Bomberman’s next-gen facelift and gritty new storyline enough to save Bomberman: Act Zero from being a dud?

PS2 Review: Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
The PlayStation 2 has always been a haven for RPG lovers, and though the release of the system’s successor is imminent, new entries like Valkyrie Profile 2 remind that you won’t need to pawn your internal organs to get a good roleplaying experience.

PSP Review: Bomberman
The future of Bomberman looks bleak for next-gen gamers as Bomberman: Act Zero fizzles out on the Xbox 360. But all is not lost: Bomberman for the PlayStation Portable remains true to the timeless classic and should set off little bombs of joy in the hearts of nostalgic gamers everywhere.

PC Review: Company of Heroes
Over the past several years, Relic Entertainment has been busy at work putting out some of the most innovative RTS games in the last decade, culminating in the excellent Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. So it came as some surprise when Relic announced their next game would be set in the most excessively used backdrop in the genre - the Second World War.

Xbox Review: Destroy All Humans! 2
That sarcastic alien troublemaker, Cryptos, is back for another round of brain-scanning, monkey-zapping fun. Instead of the staid ’50s, you’ve landed right in the middle of the ’60s cultural revolution, where free love, communists, and mind-bending hallucinogens abound.
