Monopoly: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back by kjell1979 Pros: good AI, good animations, good price, customized music
Cons: slow play, rigid "house rules", confusing menus, no online multiplayer Monopoly is widely considered to be America's National Board Game. It's not a perfect game.

Guns and Cars and Automatic Weapons, oh my! by harley4u Pros: Shadow the Hedgehog. All those weapons. So DARK. Replay value.
Cons: The pros could as easily be your cons. The camera could use work. First off, I love Shadow the Main Character. I mean, everybody loves angsty badasses. They're hot. And this game is cool.But let's get started with the truth. Which is that many people love this game for the same reason that they hate it. This ...

Son of a Gun-Ho Terror Mogger! My review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by skyth Pros: best fps ever

Don't Hate the Drake -- Uncharted 2 is a Masterpiece by onionhead2001 Pros: A groundbreaking, gorgeous title with the most amazing action sequences you've ever experienced.
Cons: The platforming wears thin eventually. The first Uncharted has long been considered one of the best reasons to have a PS3. After playing the original, I never really understood the hype. Sure, it was pretty to look at and well-acted, but the game just seemed like a never-ending ...

Lego Batman: Better Than The Sum Of All Parts by livewire_13 Pros: family friendly, simple, direct
Cons: some objectives not clearly marked out In a world of ultra-violent, high-tech, gimmicky video games based more on profits than substance, Lego Batman is a refreshing change of pace.

Dragon Age Origins - The Best RPG of 2009 by phungus Pros: Excellent graphics, story, voice acting, and tactical combat gameplay.
Cons: EA forces you to register the game online. Not cool! I had all but given up hope that there would ever be another great party-based computer RPG like the Baldur's Gate games until Dragon Age Origins came along. It's so nice to see a great single player RPG with a solid story and genuinely fun ...

WoW Is Showing Its Age by ctb_ep Pros: Expanded content, some achievements are interesting, new world PvP: Wintergrasp

When I joined, I was impressed by the game's size and scope, it's diversity of races and classes, and the rich backstory that allowed for a seemingly endless combination of interactions as you ...
