It sounds and looks luscious, it plays fast, and it puts the Nintendo DS version of Ridge Racer to humiliating shame. Beatmania Review (PS2) Beatmania was the rhythm videogame that started it all. The DJ sim took Japanese arcades by storm and spawned DDR and a slew of other titles. I've always been jealous of the Beatmania maniacs in Japanese arcades, so now I can sit at home and remind myself at how far I am from their mad "Bemani" skills. Metal Gear Acid 2 Review Yeah, so I liked Metal Gear Acid (Ac!d) a lot. Now, the sequel's in 3D. Real 3D; like with the glasses and all. What's not to love? Bizarre digital CCG in 3D, there's so much goodness here that you may just pass out.

Bully Review (PS2) [i]Bully[/i] is certainly one of the most controversial games of the year. However it is a light-hearted romp, a sort of GTA for kids. There's little to be scared of here, other than a very good time. New Spider-Man Videogame Ships Ultimate Spider-Man follows Marvel's Ultimate series of comics with a younger highly stylized Spider-Man and a new angle on the traditional Spider-Man/Venom storyline. Resistance: Fall of Man - PS3 Resistance: Fall of Man is the PS3's killer app. While the PS3 has had a decent launch lineup, Resistance may just go down as one of the best launch games ever.
