August 3, 2007

Eliminating the open environments and trick/mission-based challenges and focusing on downhill races, Downhill Jam creates a fast, funny, attractive racer.

The Bigs – Review

July 27, 2007

Accessible, fast-paced, arcade-style hitting, pitching, and fielding. Brawls. An entertaining create-a-rookie mode, and an addictive homerun/destruction derby.

July 21, 2007

The complete series on one disc. There aren’t many more satisfying 2D action games than the Metal Slug series. A non-stop blast-a-thon with a sense of humor.

Rogue Galaxy – Review

May 4, 2007
