|  Game developer, Konami, has launched a new series of retro-style games with its Rebirth line. The latest of these is Castlevania the Adventure Rebirth, a side-scrolling game straight out of the late ‘80s.
The emphasis here is on action, true to the arcade style that influenced games through until the late ‘90s. Exploration is at a minimum, while vampire whipping is doled out in heaping portions.

| Game Review; WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 |

|  Just like the big-name pay-per-view events that regularly punctuate the WWE's show schedule, Smackdown vs. RAW is back for another year. The latest entry in the long-running series picks up where last year's game left off, continuing to focus on user creation and true-to-TV action. The biggest new additions this year are on the user creation side, and the gameplay also benefits from some notable refinements. There are also a lot of new match types, but this addition is overshadowed by the removal of online play. Players looking for strong competition are left to rely on their local friends, and the lack of online sharing limits the appeal of the new story designer. Though Smackdown vs. RAW 2010 improves upon its predecessor in a number of ways, its withdrawal from the online arena and lingering perennial issues balance the scales to keep this good wrestling game from being a great one.
