- We've got a couple F.E.A.R. reviews too, from SpaecKow and discolando.
- Here are a few takes on Shadow of the Colossus: a comprehensive look from frequent reviewer SixDemonBag and a critique from bigfootedman which points out flaws but still finds it exceptional.
- Resident zombie enthusiast Normality brings us his review on Wideload's Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse (Xbox).
- Finally, prolific reviewer Masem checks out Atlus' Trauma Center: Under the Knife (DS).
I am, of course, currently playing Shadow of the Colossus (PS2). It is incredible. Also, I finally beat Advance Wars: Dual Strike (DS), and now I'm leisurely working through its Survival mode.
