Inspired by the upcoming "Star Trek" movie from Paramount Pictures, Star Trek: D-A-C
is a fast-paced, top-down space shooter where players take the
captain's chair and engage in intense online multi-player or co-op
battles. Pick up and play, then lead your team to victory.
"The upcoming 'Star Trek' film has ignited interest among a new generation of fans as well as longtime fans of the original," said Tom Lesinski, President Paramount Pictures Digital Entertainment. "With that same goal in mind, Star Trek: D-A-C was designed to appeal to 'Star Trek' fans and gamers alike. The pick up and play arcade-style game play lets fans take the command and boldly go!"
Star Trek: D-A-C allows fans to directly control a variety of ships and pitch battles between Starfleet and the Romulan Empire. Up to 12 players can compete in thrilling team combat.

Players can choose from three ship types for each faction, including the new U.S.S. Enterprise featured in the "Star Trek" film. Each ship - the powerful Flagship, the nimble Fighter and the devastating Bomber - offers its own unique capabilities for players to master and manipulate as they fight for victory. In addition to featuring the new U.S.S. Enterprise, Star Trek: D-A-C incorporates music and signature sounds taken directly from the new "Star Trek" film.
Star Trek: D-A-C is scheduled to launch May 2009 for the Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360, and for the PlayStation Network and Windows PC shortly thereafter. It is rated "E" by the ESRB.

If you have answered with 'yes' to all these questions then you have to play Brutal Legend, an action/strategy game that will fulfill your expectations as a metal music fan and will give you the chance to meet some of your metal gods. If you have answered with 'no', you should not leave, because this game offers enough hack'n'slash moments in an open-world environment to make you scream for pleasure.

| NBA 2K10 October 12, 2009 It's tough to beat the competition and cruise your way up to the top, but staying there for consecutive years is even harder. 2K Sports did an excellent job by grabbing the first place with its NBA franchise, and as far as I'm concerned NBA 2K10 has all the needed traits to retain the crown as the best basketball simulator of 2009.

The game, while cool and based on the innovative Halo universe, takes a lot of elements from other successful RTS games and simplifies the gameplay and interface quite a bit to make it a suitable experience for the Xbox 360.

| Resident Evil 5 February 2, 2009 Two levels of demo on Xbox 360 aren't usually sufficient to help one express an exhaustive opinion about a highly anticipated title such as Resident Evil 5, but in this case it's just enough to convince the gamer that another gem is about to be uncovered. This latest addition to the acclaimed franchise stays true to the survival-horror genre, retaining that sinister atmosphere from the previous titles and while further increasing it, by carrying the creepiness into broad daylight.
