Are You Sure 'Manhunt 2' was Toned Down?new
The thing about Manhunt 2 is that I could write "This game is twisted and sick -- an affront to God himself" and they'd probably quote this review in a TV commercial. Mass Effect also reviewed.

Clutter, Thy Name is Gaming Peripheralsnew
Gamers were supposed to be better than this. Somehow, we've always aspired to the sleek, tech-savvy vibe of the video and stereophile, with shiny equipment complementing neat DVD cases in tidy rows. Then came Rock Band and the Wii Zapper.

Shootin' in 'Strangehold,' Hittin' Stuff in 'Eternal Sonata'new
Strangehold somehow continues John Woo's Hard Boiled, but mainly serves up blissful shooting action. In Eternal Sonata, Frederic Chopin is the main character and the game takes place inside his head as he's dying, so music is somehow involved.
