GBA Review: Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation
Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation taps the premiere minds of Banpresto’s super robot think-tank to craft a sci-fi fantasy tactics game with more twists and turns than the latest season of the TV show Lost.

Xbox 360 Review: NHL 07
The venerable EA Sports NHL franchise celebrates its 15th year with NHL 07. In its first foray on next-generation ice, EA changed the way hockey video games are played.

PC Review: Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales
Pirates have been a staple in cross-genre games for years. They sailed the digital seas of titles such as Sea Dogs, Sid Meier’s Pirates, and the Monkey Island series, to name a few. Yet all too often developers get caught up in recreating the mythos and don’t pay enough attention to the actual gameplay; while the worlds and characters are portrayed in a genuine and authentic manner, it didn’t always add up to an entertaining experience. At times, Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales strays dangerously close to the same troubled waters but ultimately manages to right the ship with some interesting design elements and tons of swashbuckling action.

Xbox Review: Painkiller: Hell Wars
The original PC blood-fest Painkiller returns to dish out more punishment on the Xbox. Hell Wars is a classic run-and-gun shooter that hardcore Quake fans will die for, but the repetitive gameplay and linear levels will rapidly exhaust the casual gamer.
