With 10 out of 14 editorial staff members injured and/or ill in the past month, it has been a rough stretch for GamePartisan. No longer, as Phil Stortzum brings us swinging back into form with this review.
Ninja Gaiden II | Review
"…Ninja Gaiden 2 is an improvement on its predecessors in almost every way."
NCAA Football 09 | Review
EA, you ought to be terribly familiar with the score given this year’s game: it’s like deja vu all over again! Just think back to November 2004. Yes, the bell’s gotta be ringing by now.

No More Heroes | Review
A Japanese take on American culture that deserves, at the very least, a modicum of respect, i.e., a rental by every gamer.
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock | Review
In case you hadn’t caught on yet or are new to the GamePartisan party scene, game name recognition means very little to us: a good game is a good game, an average game is an average game, a bad game is a bad game. Period.
Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure | Review
Phil gives us the lowdown on this uncelebrated title from Capcom.
Grand Theft Auto IV | Review
Mark Vincent gave it an 8.5 out of 10. Now we get a second opinion.
Wii Sports | Review
While Wii Sports is not the greatest game ever created, it’s definitely a worthy pack-in with the Nintendo Wii. It does a fantastic job of really showing off the control capabilities of the Nintendo Wii, which is obviously what it was meant to do. In terms of graphics and music, Wii Sports ay fail to impress. But the sports themselves, especially tennis and golf, are quite well done, and control nicely. Especially considering that you’re getting it for free, Wii Sports is a surprisingly fun and satisfying game.

"Too slow and frustrating to wholeheartedly recommend."

It may be the sixth title bearing the Ratchet & Clank name in seven years, but the quality is still so consistent that it’s yet to become a problem

Michael Rausch takes a legendary step with this, our second review of Mass Effect.
All Pro Football 2k8 | Review
In the end, All Pro Football 2k8 is very much worth any pigskin fan’s time. However, it is not without a few, avoidable drawbacks.
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles | Review
GameFAQs hero Phil Stortzum makes his GP debut.
