As the title states, who doesn't love a good video review? Mass Effect 2 leads the charge and pulls in an excellent score. Authored by TheMonkeyMan and featuring exclusive in game footage, this is one video review not to miss.

Stay tuned for more video and written reviews. Also, we here at the Gamer Lounge feel that to many websites rush reviews or do not finish the actual game before posting their scores. We will always strive to give you the best review possible so watch for our "first impressions" popping up on the reviews page as well. See you on the 14'th!

We here at The Gamer Lounge decided it was time to reveal our final floor plan to the public. Being that we are under strict NDA (non-discolure agreement) with Microsoft we unfortunately cannot reveal everything that will be in there. What we can tell you though is that it will be worth the wait.

Check back soon as we will be revealing more and more as we quickly approach our start date on Feb. 14th - 2010. Also, come visit us early if you would like, we are already up at Best Buy right now hard at work to bring this vision of ours to life.

The first review for the hotly anticipated, yet still mysterious Heavy Rain is in. Heavy Rain reminds us a lot of the Sega Dreamcast classic Shenmue. It offers a great sense of exploration with a very realistic world to interact with. It is also highly detailed and story heavy.

This review looks good and it will be very interesting to see how this game sells to the masses. Does it have the appeal to entice the casual gamer? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Recently some new screens were posted for an unannounced Zelda Wii title or so it seems... Zelda is obviously one of the biggest franchises in the world and we would be suprised if something like this would leak out early.

To us, we think that this is some kind of hoax possibly or a PC mod. Wii games are typically jaggy because of the lack of HD capability and these screens just seem to...clean. Only time will tell.

Its an epic showdown for best FPS of 2009. Will it be Modern Warfare II or the gorgeous Killzone 2. In the Gamer Lounge's opinion they are both great games. We had a lot of issues with the general gameplay of Killzone 2 but their is no denying that the game is incredible looking and very cinematic.

On the other hand, MW 2 has us all addicted to its awesome (yet flawed) multiplayer and the single player, although a bit short, is a blast! Hit the pic above and decide for yourself!

Some awesome new screens for God of War III showed up recently. The screens look very pretty and show that this game is definitely going to be a contendor for at least best graphics ever. We're hoping that the gameplay can match up to how good the game looks. Recently some of the video's released make it look pretty identical to the first two but we're sure their will be lots of suprises in store once the game hits this March 16'th!.

Hit us up at the Gamer Lounge in Best Buy! We'll be having several events and promotions going on around the release of the game and many of the other awesome games coming out early this year!

The amazing franchise Mass Effect gets its first sequel of a planned trilogy tonight at midnight. From what we've played of the game this is one franchise that definitely has legs and a bright future. The gameplay and gunplay is tweaked to near perfection and all of the technical glitches that plagued the first game have thankfully been cleaned up. The game releases tonight or tomorrow if you didn't pre-order. Also, don't forget that if you have the pre-order code from Dragon Age you will have access to the transferable armor set..

Keep your eyes peeled on our review page as we will have an upcoming review for this game in the next 1-2 days. See you all on the 14'th at Best Buy!
