RATING M for Mature

PLOT Find cover, shoot, repeat

DETAILS Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $49.99

BOTTOM LINE A little mundane

As Inversion begins, Vanguard City is being invaded by a race of particularly unpleasant aliens. But as brutish as they are, the Lutadore can manipulate gravity. It's up to your character, a cop named Davis, to steal one of their "gravlinks" and wield it against them. You can use the gravlink to make a ceiling crash down to provide an escape route. Or you can lighten heavy objects and throw them at enemies. But the controls are aggravatingly imprecise -- by the time you grab and hurl a projectile, you're likely to be shot down.
