Reviewers assemble!!! Sorry, I'm excited to go see The Avengers tonight. Until then, I'm going to enjoy some community reviews. You should, too!


PitKid Icarus: Uprising review
By Isaac Federspiel

Isaac gives Nintendo's newest 3DS title an extensive write-up, praising the portable game's humorous writing and addictive multiplayer. He does have some issues with the controls, but he says that they become easier to manage over time.


Fez review: The gaping maw of madness
By Matt Gerardi

Fez may look like a simple platformer, but Matt argues that it actually sends the player on a trip into madness. Having spent a good amount of time with the game myself, I can easily agree. I mean, it was a fun sort of insanity, but it was still insanity.


Playing it old school: Max Payne's second vendetta
By Stan Fezaee

Max Payne 3 isn't coming out for a couple more weeks, but you could still explore Max's past with previous titles in the series. That's exactly what Stan, who recently played through Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, did. He has plenty of praise for the classic shooter.

 

Super Smash Bros. Brawl: A beloved mess of contemptuous game design
By Carlos Alexandre

You may not know this, but I'm a pretty big Super Smash Bros. fan. I even went to a few, smaller Super Smash Bros. Melee tournaments back in the day. That's right, I play Smash Bros. competitively. The hell with items and all those random elements. Carlos is a kindred spirit, and he has a lot to say about Super Smash Bros. Brawl's "tripping"  the worst design decision in gaming history.

Link 's Shadow


Discovering Shadow Complex three years later
By Mark Purcell

Shadow Complex is already three years old? Jeez. I guess it does feel like a long time since I played that Metroid-esque Xbox Live Arcade title. Well, Mark missed out on the fun during the initial release, so he recently played through it and discovered it's one of his favorite games of the console generation.
