He Is the Night: A Review of Batman Beginsnew
After a string of boring, ugly, repetitive games, it’s good to see Batman get an interesting, pretty, repetitive game. Batman Begins -- the movie -- blows the previous films out of the water, and so does the game. But it’s not without its flaws.

Nooooo!!! A Review of "Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith" for PS2new

What Went Wrong with Fable?new
Fable took four years, a huge cast and, as reported in the credits, several thousand take-out dinners to make. But the plot sounds like it took three guys, one night and a batch of “special” brownies.
