Brink Oh dear God, this game sucks. A new shooter from Bethesda that completely misses the mark. The single-player campaign is really a multiplayer campaign, and a bad one at that. If I was made to choose between playing “Brink” all the way through again or having my house set on fire, I would have serious considerations on both sides. Long story short, I wouldn’t hit my dog in the ass with this game. 1 out of 10   Outland A new Xbox Live Arcade platformer from Ubisoft/Housemarque. Great throwback game — tons of unlockables, great puzzles and super-tough old-school boss battles. Most everything in “Outland” is one of two colors, which you can switch between to inflict damage to an enemy of another color. Awesome game, great pickup for $10. 8.5 out of 10   Alice: Madness Returns A very twisted and creepy alternate reality “Alice in Wonderland” story. EA and Spicy Horse team up for this sequel to 2000′s “American McGee’s Alice.” Alice is back in Wonderland to save it, and consequently her sanity, in this very cool platformer. There is nothing that stands out about it other than its story, but it still works. I can easily see this becoming a cult classic. 7 out of 10   Vanquish A cover-heavy third-person shooter from Platinum Games/Sega. Aliens invading the Earth and you’re the only one that can stop them. Pretty worn premise, right? Well, this game is pretty fun. Rail shooting sequences, over-the-top firefights, and big boss battles, “Vanquish” makes a run-of-the-mill game seem a bit ahead of the pack. 7.5 out of 10
