- Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (DS) posted on 11/3/2009
- With a successful outing at last year's Olympic Games under their belts, two of video gaming's biggest heavyweights return for the 2010 Vancouver-based Winter Olympics. A new Adventure Mode and plenty of snowy sports are just a few of the new additions to this sports compilation.

- Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble posted on 11/3/2009
- Even with copious amounts of fireballs, fan service and the occasional fighting kangaroo, many fighting games tend to take themselves a bit too seriously. Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble, the new side-scrolling brawler from Atlus looks to break that trend by introducing an incredibly silly storyline, zany characters and a heft dose of gratuitous machismo. Reviewer Nathan Meunier was pleasantly surprised at not only the game's tongue-in-cheek presentation, but it's fun and oftentimes wacky on-screen antics.

- C.O.P. The Recruit posted on 11/3/2009
- While not nearly as groundbreaking as it's console-based role models, Ubisoft's C.O.P. The Recruit serves as a solid sandbox title with some incredibly fun gameplay and inventive shooting and stealth scenarios.

- MagnaCarta 2 posted on 11/2/2009
- Even though it largely follows what very well could be excerpts from "The Idiot's Guide to RPG Plot", Heidi still found MagnaCarta 2 a relatively fresh and well-done role playing experience.

- Astro Boy: The Video Game posted on 11/2/2009
- One of Osamu Tezuka's most beloved creations was granted a silver-screen adaptation rather recently, complete with a complimentary videogame tie-in. Does this side-scrolling anime-influenced action title keep with the spirit of the fun-filled original anime, or does it fall sorely into quick cash-in territory?

- Dragon Age: Origins posted on 11/3/2009
- When we first saw Dragon Age at E3, we walked away skeptical, grumbling at the rough graphics and odd focus on character interactions that bordered on high school level drama. Compared to the butter smooth E3 demo for Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age looked like it would end up being the black sheep of the family. Well, shame on us for doubting the wizards at BioWare: they worked their magic and turned that early demo into another must-have masterpiece. Deep and engaging, it's sure to please any RPG fan looking for a long and satisfying adventure. Even better, it will keep us all busy until Mass Effect 2 comes out in 2010.

- Need for Speed: NITRO posted on 11/2/2009
- Even though it doesn't boast the same brand of gritty realism as such racing heavyweights as Forza and Gran Turismo, Need for Speed: NITRO's ridiculously fun flair was more than enough to win over reviewer Mitchell Dyer.

- Locoroco Midnight Carnival posted on 10/29/2009
- The Locoroco series is known for its cutesy graphics, infectious soundtrack and its simple yet challenging puzzles. Just in time for Halloween, the new Midnight Carnival has arrived to provide more shoulder-button based tomfoolery. With more of the same great gameplay, it's a worthy download for PSP owners everywhere.

- Deca Sports 2 posted on 10/28/2009
- More of a tech demo than a fully finished sports simulation compilation, reviewer Aaron Koehn saw Hudson's Deca Sports 2 as an excuse for the publisher to make a quick buck on the back of Nintendo's insanely popular Wii Sports franchise. Still, if you're a hardcore petanque player, where else are you going to get your fix?

- Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes posted on 10/27/2009
- A real time strategy title for the DS that's not only good, but serves as a new iteration in a tried and true franchise? I think you can understand if we were skeptical. Aaron found Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes to be a finely crafted and novel venture into the handheld RTS genre.
