EA's epic Sims 3 expansion is loaded with international charm.

- 'Modern Warfare 2' (360)
Unabashedly over-the-top, Modern Warfare 2 ups the ante in practically every department.
Nov 06, 2009
- 'Band Hero' (Xbox 360)
Band Hero may be fun to play, but a lack of challenge and originality stifles the experience. - 'Jambo! Safari' (Wii)
Jambo! Safari Wii will disappoint nostalgic, older gamers but still appeal to a younger audience. - 'iCarly' (Wii)
Activision's iCarly spinoff is light on substance, but will still appeal to fans of the TV series. - 'A Boy And His Blob' (Wii)
A charming title, let down only by its desire to hold your hand a little too much.

- 'Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron' (PSP)
Control issues and camera quirks are the greatest threats to the Rebel Alliance in this PSP outing.

- 'Borderlands' (PS3)
Superb multiplayer options and a vast array of weaponry makes this a border worth crossing.
Oct 16, 2009
- 'Machinarium' (PC)
Imaginative and beautifully presented, Machinarium is a point-and-click delight from start to finish. - 'Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Winter Games' (Wii)
While a host of flexible options are highly commendable, the controls still leave a lot to be desired. - 'Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Winter Games' (DS)
A surprising departure from the usual sporting offerings can't hide poor controls and uninteresting events. - 'Uncharted 2: Among Thieves' (PS3)
Nathan Drake returns in a superlative sequel that improves on every aspect of its predecessor.
Oct 09, 2009
- 'Beneath A Steel Sky: Remastered' (iPhone)
A rare case of an update that enhances everything you loved about the original. - 'LostWinds: Winter Of The Melodias' (Wii)
WiiWare title LostWinds: Winter Of The Melodias delivers a short but very satisfying adventure. - 'NBA 2K10' (Xbox 360)
A cracking basketball simulation let down by a few bugs and glitches.
