Destroy All Humans! (XBX, PS2) - Review Repost
Destroy All Humans! is a pretty tight game, satirically capturing B-movie alien attacks with a GTA-type approach to gameplay; it’s only flaw seems to be a lack of being completely original.
(This is a review that I did before I started grading games, so the grades are based on my retrospective opinion of the game.)

Killer7 gained hype both through amazing stunning graphics, and word of mouth as being a piece of art rather than a game. While the end product is a strong, plot-driven game with graphics that still live up to the initial reports, the end result has some rough spots, with the game itself getting in the way of being able to appreciate Killer7 as art.
Guitar Hero is produced by Red Octane, makers of quality Dance Dance Revolution pads and other console controllers, and Harmonix, who have produced Frequency, Amplitude, and the Karaoke Revolution games, and both companies do an outstanding job in their respective field. As a result, Guitar Hero may be the best music-based game to date by any company, certainly allowing you to rock out to a great selection of songs.
Me and My Katamari - the second and last sequel to the breakout hit Katamari Damacy, attempts to deliver the same great game play from that title to the PSP. For the most part, it does this, but the main failing is the lack of the subtly of the control scheme from the PS2 that simply can’t be reproduced on the PSP, causing the control scheme to get in the way of the full enjoyment of the game.
Needless to say, We Love Katamari is a superb sequel to the quirky hit Katamari Damacy, doing exactly what a game sequel should do - give more of exactly the same gameplay style with selected improvements to make the game even more enjoyable.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (MP2) is a very good sequel to the widely popular Metroid Prime, not veering at all from the established formula, yet adding some interesting elements and fixing some gameplay issues to keep the game fresh and new.
For those that miss text adventures or LucasArts style games, or like anything offbeat, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attoney for the DS is definitely a fun, strong plot and character-driven game that can fill the niche with some pretty good brain-teasing puzzles.
Stuntman is one of those few games that really should be able to sell themselves from the concept alone, however, the game fails rather spectacularly due to a number of gameplay and performance features that seem to be easily corrected.
God of War, to put it simply, is extremely gory and violent event for taking place in ancient Roman times, but is an excellent gaming challenge and a reasonably fresh approach to platformers.You play Kratos, a mortal on a vengeance against the god Ares, who is currently attacking Athena’s city of Athens. We quickly find out Kratos is much more than mortal–he wields lethal blades on chains, and cares little for fellow mortals. As Kratos rescues the Oracle of Athens, he finds that the only way to stop Ares is to obtain Pandora’s Box from a temple set to safeguard it for all time, and then to use it’s power against Ares.
