Crysis 2 -- Scheduled Release: Holiday
"Crysis 2's fictional New York City pulls on the strings of images of the terrorist attacks on September 11th. Deliberate or not, the photos and condolences posted on a wall for the fallen is remarkably similar to the chain links fences erected around ground zero." -- Juan Letona (read the full article here)

Portal 2 -- Scheduled Release: Holiday
"Portal 2 must bear the added weight of my admittedly unfair expectations. The original Portal changed my outlook on the entire entertainment world; how the hell can Portal 2 even hope to recapture a fraction of that excitement? Even with my aforementioned habit of deliberately cooling my enthusiasm, the shadow of Portal is too large to simply ignore." -- Daniel Feit (read the full article here)

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective -- Scheduled Release: Winter
"From the mind of the creator of Phoenix Wright comes Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. You will play as Sissel, a murder victim who must discover the truth about his murder before his soul passes on. As you attempt to solve this mystery, Sissel will have the ability to posses and manipulate objects. This sounds like an incredibly intriguing game mechanic. The blend of anime art and cell-shaded graphics looks amazing, the music sounds incredibly stellar, the characters look awesomely outlandish, and I have no doubt that the humorous Ace Attorney writing style will perfectly fit this unique premise." -- Ryan Conway (read the full article here)

Dust 514 -- Scheduled Release: TBA
"Eve Online has been the source of some of the weirdest gaming headlines of the last six years. The game is entirely in the players' hands: The banks are run by real people; real bankers embezzle fake money that took real time to earn; real people start fake wars. But while it's interesting to hear about, it's not exactly a fun minute-to-minute game. Now, realizing that shooting dudes in the face is fun, CCP Asia are hard at work on a dude-shooting game for the Xbox 360 and PS3. It's exactly the sort of entrance people like me, who enjoy rich sci-fi universes and shooting dudes in the face, have been looking forward to." -- Alex Martin (read the full article here)

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West -- Scheduled Release: TBA
"Enslaved offers a refreshing vision of the coming apocalypse. Rather than trade in the same three browns that characterize most end-of-days games, Enslaved explodes with color. In the absence of human interference, nature has reclaimed the cities. Trees burst from the concrete and crown the tops of skyscrapers; vines choke dead wires and unhook bricks from their mortar." -- Brandon Mroz (read the full article here)

"Enslaved’s combat supposedly resembles Batman: Arkham Asylum, a game that had me chaining together massive combos in a manner that I can only describe as rhythmic, and creating an almost mesmerizing sensation of being both nimble and devastating." -- Ben Maltz-Jones (read the full article here)
