    Halo Wars
    And maybe that's Ensemble's biggest success here: that the interface and controls, usually the worst part of a console RTS game and the one that gets talked about the most in game reviews for this genre, were the farthest thing from my mind here after a few minutes of learning them.

    Killzone 2
    Either way, one-man armies and multi-player masses alike should all head to Helghan; I hear it’s beautiful this time of year, even if the locals are a bit restless.

    Puzzle Quest: Galactrix
    Even with the modest $20 price tag for Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, it's not worth the frustration after a taking a couple of losses that are completely out of your hands.

    Blue Dragon Plus
    Blue Dragon Plus has a few character movement issues but overall is a fun, easy-to-learn, highly-polished game.

    Street Fighter IV
    It's hugely accessible but includes the depth that serious gamers are searching for, and all of it is viable to bring online for some great action.

    Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned
    But that's alright - for a $20 add-on, you get a lot for your money with The Lost and Damned. The quality of the acting, cutscenes, story, and missions is just as good as in GTAIV, and the convenience of not having to switch discs is handy.

    Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?
    Longtime gamers, especially those who dug this type of game back in the day (controller-chucking fits and all), will find Prinny a breath of fresh air on the content-starved platform, even if that fresh air is pierced by your own frustration-powered F-bombs.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
    The somewhat disappointing result of all this is that F.E.A.R. 2 isn't different enough from the first game to surprise us, and with such a lack of innovation, even this polished horror shooter just won't get the rise out of players that the original did.

    Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
    Still, anyone who is a fan of Sega's biggest 16-bit franchises could do a lot worse than picking up this latest compilation.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The House of the Dead: Overkill
    It's quick to pick up, has considerable replayability and is a much-needed dose of mature content for the Wii. However, it's extremely short, the bosses are a cake-walk and the writing is obnoxious.

    Deadly Creatures
    If you’re looking for a refreshing respite from the Wii’s line-up of me-too mini-game collections and other familiar fare, you should let Deadly Creatures infest your game library.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    X-Blades
    If you're looking for some thumb-blistering battling at the hands of a barely-dressed female protagonist, you could do a lot worse (see Bikini Samurai Squad) than X-Blades.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Afro Samurai
    If you enjoy wicked style and simple, yet satisfying combat, mature content that’s more than a script full of unnecessary F-bombs, and more gore than you’ll see in all five Saw films combined, then Afro deserves a spot in your game library.

    Fallout 3 - Operation: Anchorage
    If anything, Operation Anchorage is a good hint of what's to come from Bethesda in future downloadable packs.
    • 78 Metascore

    Big Bang Mini
    Couple the pyro-firing controls with diversified addictive gameplay and some truly engaging art direction, oh, and a $20 price tag, and you’ve got a DS experience that's more fun than lighting illegal fireworks on the Fourth.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Skate 2
    Skate 2 does a good job of adding new features and moves while trying to innovate the style and keep everything fun, but there's still a few things missing that could have made it a classic.

    The Maw
    If you’ve finally caught up on all the holiday’s big titles, and are looking to blow some MS Points, The Maw is the way to go.
    • 71 Metascore

    Moon
    Moon is a well-made 3D action/adventure game which is something the DS could definitely use more of.

    Mirror's Edge
    Either way, this is a fine port from console to PC, one that brings everything from the original experience and fits it nicely into a PC gamer's hands. The actual game might be frustrating and tedious at times, but it's worth it if you've got the cash to pick it up.

    Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero
    It has great art, fun game play, a good story and it's a dream game for you collection junkies out there. It just goes to show; sometimes it pays to think small.

    Saints Row 2
    I maintain that Saints Row 2 is still a damn fun game and really not bad on a super-fast PC, but it's not going to be worth the effort for most.

    Prince of Persia
    While this one doesn't quite reach some of the stylistic and gameplay-oriented heights of Sands of Time a few years back, this re-imagined Prince of Persia delivers great thrills and plenty of accessibility inside a very pretty package.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Grand Theft Auto IV
    It's kind of a lose-lose for Rockstar at this point, and it's too bad, because GTAIV is a wonderful game that doesn't deserve the problems this PC port has.

    Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories
    It's pure KH fun, and it will immediately remind you why this most unusual clashing of worlds works so well.

    Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
    This is absolutely the best Street Fighter seen in years, but just be ready for a beatdown and you'll be fine.

    Age of Empires: Mythologies
    When you’ve gotten your fill of saving our world and all those fictional ones in this season’s blockbusters, find some time to wield the powers of ancient gods in this tiny title that packs big, addictive fun.
    • 76 Metascore

    Tomb Raider: Underworld
    Old school fans and new tomb raiders alike should find lots to love in Lara's latest (and best in years) adventure.
