Issue 75: May 2010

Red Dead Redemption (PS3, X360)
Developer: Rockstar San Diego
Publisher: Rockstar
Genre: Action
10/10
Summary: Rockstar has not only managed to make the best western game ever, they also made an adult, well-written storyline that really engages, touch and is genre-bending. Red Dead Redemption, in short, is a masterpiece nobody can afford to miss.



Alan Wake (X360)
Developer: Remedy
Publisher: Remedy
Genre: Horror/Thriller
7/10
Summary: Remedy's anticipated project of eternity didn't really turn out to be the playable Twin Peaks I was hoping for, but it's atleast an atmospheric action title.



Skate 3 (PS3, X360)
Developer: Black Box Games
Publisher: EA
Genre: Extreme Sports
7/10
Summary: A really good skateboarding game that unforunately suffers from semi-old technicals and a weak career mode.



Split/Second (PC, PS3, X360)
Developer: Black Rock Studios
Publisher: Disney Interactive
Genre: Racing/Action
6/10
Summary: Although it has some good modes and lots of big explosions, Split/Second feels like a racing game that depends way too much on a gimmick that's not very interesting. Good chaos also needs good order, and even though Split/Second isn't a total disaster, the promised carnage is pretty weak.



ModNation Racers (PS3)
Developer: United Front Studios
Publisher: Sony
Genre: Racing
6/10
Summary: Lots of content and a well-done online support are of course nice parts of ModNation Racers. Loose controls and boring kart-physics make this an average speed thrill.



Lost Planet 2 (PC, PS3, X360)
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Genre: Shooter/Action
7/10
Summary: Capcom should've made better priorities to be able to reach the top scores, but Lost Planet 2 is undoubtebly a purchase for everyone who enjoyed the original and most of all for you who wants a modest and crazy multiplayer game.



God of War Collection (PS3)
Developer: Sony Santa Monica
Publisher: Sony
Genre: Action
8/10
Summary: A full-fledged experience so masculine, so full of testosterone and so epic that the chest hair will frizzle by just thinking of it.



No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (Wii)
Developer: Grasshopper
Publisher: Rising Star Games
Genre: Action
8/10
Summary: A sequel of the best kind. Tops the original in all fields without losing its personality.



3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3)
Developer: Silicon Studio
Publisher: From Software
Genre: Action/RPG
6/10



Monster Hunter Tri (Wii)
