Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon for 3DS
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon: - The Super Plumber Turns Ghost Buster
by jeremy1456
Pros: Good Graphics, Fun Gameplay, Fantastic Sound Effects, Multiple Mansions to Explore
Cons: Some Slight Control Issues

Hunter: The Reckoning Wayward for PlayStation 2
Hunter: The Reckoning Wayward
by nick7jq
Pros: Run and gun and stab gameplay is great
Cons: Escort missions, melee is clunky at times, last boss might be broken
Hunter: The Reckoning Wayward is a noticeably flawed but still very cool Diablo style corridor crawling game with some really good run and gun action and mediocre melee combat. For a pretty old game, it actually holds up pretty well. The game is set in a ...

Guild Wars for Windows
Guild Wars 2 from a World of Warcraft perspective
by nbostaph
Pros: Personal story, fun skill/combat system, minimal CC, dynamic events, level scaling, friendly community
Cons: No healer role, little end-game content (no raids), breakneck leveling speed, professions are valueless
I began hearing about Guild Wars 2 back when it first came out, but like many MMORPG players I was vested in my game of choice (in my case, World of Warcraft) that I had spent years building a history in. But as friends came and went, and I found myself ...

The Sims 3 Pets: Limited Edition for Windows
As If Your Sims Weren't Busy Already- Now They Have To Clean The Litter Box!
by donkee
Pros: Plenty of new pets to create and play with, new objects and a new town...
Cons: ...pets are too needy and require WAY too much of your sim's precious time!
I’m not really a “pet person”.  It's not that I dislike animals, not at all- I often see cute dogs (labradoodles, especially!) and sort of long for one, but then I remember that I’m just not a pet person.  I had a dog as ...

Cons: ...not enough content, cars cost too much money in-game, the stuff pack is WAY overpriced.
You can never get bored playing The Sims 3, and its creators (EA Games and Maxis) make sure you don’t by constantly releasing more content.  Along with the base game, there are several other expansion packs and “stuff” packs which ...
