Multi-Platform Video Game Reviews

Fate: Undiscovered Realms Review [PC]
It might not be creative, but Fate: Undiscovered Realms is a solid extension of the original hack-and-slash role-playing game.

Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization Review [PC]
Colonization is a more focused and linear Civilization experience that nevertheless offers the depth and rewards of the classic strategy series.

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Review [PC]
Engaging player-versus-player combat makes this an online role-playing game to reckon with.

Pure Review [Xbox 360 PlayStation 3]
Pure doesn't blaze many new trails, but this off-road racer still delivers an intense, tricked-out thrill ride.

Feeding Frenzy 2: Shipwreck Showdown Review [Xbox 360]
Shipwreck Showdown improves upon Feeding Frenzy in almost every way, but it's still too easy and too short.

Armored Core: For Answer Review [PlayStation 3 Xbox 360]
The latest Armored Core makes up for the series' lack of progress by simply being fun to play.

Yggdra Union Review [PSP]
Yggdra Union is more fun to say than it is to play.

de Blob Review [Wii]
Painting the town red, blue, or any other color is a lot of fun in this charming Wii platformer.

Disgaea DS Review [DS]
Disgaea DS is a delightfully evil strategy RPG with enough depth (and prinnies) to entertain you for ages.

Ubersoldier II: The End of Hitler Review [PC]
World War II has been done before and done better, but it's never been done like this.

The Witcher Enhanced Edition Review [PC]
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition is what this role-playing game should have been when it made its debut a year ago.
