Batman Arkham Asylum PS3
I'm on a Batman kick so I decided to revisit Batman Arkham Asylum, which I finished back in 2009, to see how it holds up against Arkham City, the newer release. Arkham Asylum is still a great game, and worth having! Here's why.
Beyond Good and Evil

Champions Return to Arms - PS2
A hack-and-slash game set in the universe of the online game Everquest, "Return to Arms" does for Everquest what "Dark Alliance" did for the Baldur's Gate series. Return to Arms is the sequel to "Champions of Norrath", which was similarly aimed at a hack-and-slash crowd.

The hottest movie has become an action-adventure game for several console platforms. Just how good is this Matrix Reloaded tie-in game?
Eternal Ring
I´m a huge RPG fan, and got this immediately for the PS2. You are Cain, son of a noble father who wishes to help the King. A typical beginning, and unfortunately the first-person shooter graphics are also of Playstation-One quality.

"Journey" is less a game and more an "experience"; its short length and simple mechanics are largely ignorable due to its interesting aesthetics and concept.
Lair - Playstation 3
A dragon-based flying game, similar to Drakengard or Panzer Dragoon, "Lair" was touted as the cutting-edge hit for the PS3. Does it measure up?

Prince of Persia : Warrior Within
Prince of Persia : Warrior Within for the PS2 is a darker sequel to the original Prince of Persia game. Where the first game was light and almost musical in its fluid grace, this latest Persia game is dark, violent, and has throbbing heavy-guitar soundtrack.

Cel shaded graphics and amazingly fun platform play highlight this great game for the PS2. Insomniac shows again why they are the king of console game makers.

The Ratchet and Clank series is one of the best all around gaming fun on the market. The games are long but interesting, you can replay them countless times, and now it´s online too!
Ratchet and Clank Future : Tools of Destruction
The first Ratchet and Clank game on the PS3, "Tools of Destruction" keeps true to Ratchet and Clanks' roots in a lot of ways. Fans of the series will enjoy more madcap action that previous games have delivered, buffed up with improved graphics and physics courtesy of the PS3.
Ratchet Deadlocked Review
We really love the Ratchet and Clank series of games, with the gameplay, humor and general mayhem. Deadlocked is NOT an adventure game like the others - it's a gladiator combat game.
Red Dead Redemption - PS3
More than a normal sandbox game, Red Dead Redemption uses a lot of specific features and stylistic choices from the GTA series.
Spyro 3 - Year of the Dragon
This is the third in the Spyro-the-dragon action game series, and it´s definitely the best. In addition to Spyro you get to control a number of other characters, each with its own moves. Agent 9, the Space Monkey, is perhaps my favorite!
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
I´ve been a huge fan of Spyro the Dragon for many years. This is the first release of Spyro for the PS2, and is made by a new company.
Super Dragon Ball Z -PS2
Yet another fighting game representing the Dragon Ball Z series, Super Dragon Ball Z does little to distinguish itself from its fellow DBZ games.
