December 2009

MX vs. ATV: Reflex

We end the year that was 2009 with another set of dual covers for our December issue. First, we step back into the darkness of Darksiders, as Dave gets an extended look at this upcoming Xbox 360 and PS3 release from THQ, and then sits down with developer Vigil Games to talk about the title's creation. Then Dave pulls double-duty as he hits the dirt with Reflex: MX vs ATV, only stopping long enough from his review of the game to get some time trackside with Reflex's lead technical designer Elliot Olsen. From there, we review New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, and Borderlands, investigate the world of Alan Wake, go under the ocean with BioShock 2, and much, much more.
