General Knoxx is Borderlands' best addition to date, offering more terrain, new enemies, and most importantly, more ways to build your character.

This lengthy add-on is filled with so much humor, action, and looting satisfaction that it could very well be the highlight of all your Pandoran adventures.

Every year, I make the mistake of raising my hand for a video game that I know nearly nothing about. Someone will give me the smallest hint as to what kind of game it is, and I think to myself: “Eh, I can play this, no problem.” This year it was Crimson Alliance, a pseudo free to play dungeon crawler that has a multiplayer function. Since I didn’t have anyone to play with, I went at it solo – big mistake.

5.5
Variety and character are treasures left undiscovered in the action RPG Crimson Alliance.

8.0
This streamlined arcade-y hack and slash may not offer the deepest experience, but its simple gameplay will still probably hook you.
