The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest (The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest)
As the first non-EA Lord of the Rings title in quite some time, Aragorn’s Quest is, fittingly, quite different from what we’ve come to expect from the post-movie Tolkien series. It’s the adventure of heroic Aragorn as told by Samwise Gamgee, so while you play as the main man, it’s viewed through Sam’s warped perception – which is a handy way of explaining the stylised look. ...
Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier (Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier)
While Lombax-loving gamers have already received a second retail release starring Sony's other dynamic duo, fans of the eco-hunting hero and his ottsel sidekick haven't received a game since 2004's Jak III. Oh sure, there was Jak: Combat Racing in 2005 (doesn't count) and the Jak-less PSP exclusive Daxter (nope, doesn't count, either) the following year. ...

Smackdown vs Raw 2010 – hands-on (WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2010)
As we sat down to see Smackdown vs Raw 2010 for the first time in L.A. during Summerslam weekend, we were skeptical. This had been the longest we could remember going without seeing a given year’s Smackdown before its release, which will be on Oct. 20. ...
The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest - hands on (The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest)
Your memory isn’t what it once was after you pass the age of, ooh, 17. We can’t even remember what we had for breakfast this morning (or, for that matter, what ‘breakfast’ actually is) let alone stuff that happened years ago. So please forgive an elderly Samwise Gamgee if the way he re-tells the story of King Aragorn to his children is a bit, ahem, ‘factually challenged’. ...
G-Force - hands-on (G-Force)
What's the result when you mix a Jerry Bruckheimer live-action extravaganza, a bit of CG magic, and adorable rodents? A bizarre question to be sure, but Disney will answer it this summer with G-Force, a family-friendly action flick starring a series of guinea pig secret agents. Smirk if you'd like, but kids love guinea pigs, and where there's scent of a new franchise that kids might go crazy over, you'd better believe Disney has a video game ...
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - first look (G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra)
Want to make a movie-based game that has a good chance at not sucking? Take a note from publisher Electronic Arts and developer Double Helix Games. Presented with the G.I. Joe license and a chance to make a game tying into the upcoming summer blockbuster movie, they could have attempted to make a brutal war epic, a dark third-person shooter, their version of Gears of War. Instead, they stuck to the spirit of the toys in creating The Rise of Cobra ...
Ultimate Ninja 4: Naruto Shippuden (Ultimate Ninja 4: Naruto Shippuden)
You might be wondering what the fuss is about over a yet-to-be-released title that already sounds like old news - Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4 is a PS2 installment, Japan’s had the game for a couple of years now, and PS3’s Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm came out last year. ...
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus (Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus)
We’re excited to announce that the latest chapter in the Guilty Gear series, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, will be making its way over to North America for the PS2 later this year. Known for its rockin’ heavy metal soundtrack, a ridiculously over-the-top story that borders on absurdity and the most bizarre cast of characters you’ve ever seen, Guilty Gear was always the sort of series that appealed to the hardest of hardcore fighting fans ...
What you need to know about Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 (Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2)
You’re thinking about trying out Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2, but you don’t know the Principality of Zeon from the Zanscare Empire? Yeah, we feel you. Don’t worry, though, we’ve taken the characters form Gundam 2 and condensed decades of history into easy-to-read blurbs that contain every little drop and morsel of Gundam Knowledge you’ll ever need to know. ...
Persona 4 - hands-on (Persona 4)
On a dark and stormy night, you stare at a blank TV screen as the clock strikes 12:00. You were told that the Midnight Channel will appear before you, even though your set isn't on, and on the screen your soul mate will appear. A girl then materializes; you can't tell who it is, but she seems to be in pain. Then the TV starts trying to draw you in; after you fight the television’s pull and drag yourself out, the set is blank again. ...
Need for Speed Undercover (Need for Speed Undercover)
We’ve got a confession to make that goes against most critical response: we quite liked Need for Speed: ProStreet (at least on consoles). It was a competent and relatively accurate recreation of organized competitive racing events. Unfortunately, what ProStreet did at the same time was completely remove the essence of what made a Need for Speed game, leaving a dry approach to simulation in its place. ...
