...Mario Super Sluggers (MSS) is an arcade-style game similar to the previous entries in the Mario sports series. Gamers looking for a deep simulation-influenced baseball game should keep on looking. Gamers looking for a revolutionary, over-the-top baseball game that is brimming with tons of innovative and unique idea need to keep on looking as well. But if want a baseball title to sit back and play with your friends that is still loads of fun then MSS should fit the bill nicely. Remember not every game has to be a blockbuster for you to still have fun...
...Mario Super Slugger really is a game that will probably find more people playing the Exhibition mode simply because that is the true baseball portion of the game. The Mario theme of the game, special Star hits/pitches and Error Items do make for a fun filled baseball experience. The simplified controls should allow for almost anyone young or old to get into the game as well. Yet the main part of the game, the challenge mode, does feel rather flat simply because it feels like an overblown training...

Streets of Rage 2 Review Online Games, September 4, 2007While the original Streets of Rage always stood in the shadow of Capcom's genre-defining Final Fight, Sega's homegrown beat-'em-up series really came into its own with Streets of Rage 2.

The game was released on the Wii Virtual Console earlier this year, and now it's on Xbox Live Arcade with a few new bells and whistles...

Story mode remains, as you're able to play as every character in a series of nine Tekken battles to learn everyone's backstory. Even cooler, each of these ends with a high quality FMV to close out the game story. Some of these are pretty standard, cool poses, lots of explosions and so forth.

She sent you a brand new racecar as a gift over Live Anywhere. It's one she built herself, but she encourages you to really make it your own. So as you sit in the park, you fiddle with your phone and are able to tweak the engine of your new racecar to match your specifications while you enjoy the sunshine...
...Forza Motorsports 2 is bigger and badder than the first game in many ways. There's a greater degree of customization available with over 300 cars to choose from. There's also a mega eleven person multiplayer available over Live. Don't forget the 360's new driving wheel, and Forza 2 will be the most realistic driving experience available for the next-gen.
