If you really wanted to get more out of rampaging around in GTAIV or want to go through an open-world action game with a buddy together over Live, then this one is worth your money. Otherwise, you might want to keep your cash and see what the rest of the holiday season offers us.

Castle Crashers is a seemingly steep 1200 points ($15) on Xbox Live Arcade and it's one of those games that's a chore to get working with online play, but overall the game's still well worth your cash.

If game-induced hypertension is not your idea of fun, then N+ may not be for you. But if it is, the $20 price tag will also be a... plus.

Whether you began busting up baddies as Ratchet on the PS2, or this is your first go-round with the lovable Lombax, you'll find QfB is one of the best titles to ever trek down the PSN path.

For every great idea, like low-penalty deaths that don’t force you to replay sections, there’s equally flawed ones, like the lush, alternate-reality cyberspace you occasionally visit for light puzzling, that would’ve best been left on the cutting room floor.

Don't be stingy with those MS points; Rearmed is more than worth the tiny hole it'll burn in your bank account.

What's the one thing that could hose an otherwise awesome action game? Aside from removing all the weapons, it's bad performance.

Overall, Summer Athletics isn't a horrible game but it suffers the lack of creativity its ho-hum name implies.

With sharp new visuals and great sounds, it winds up being the best-looking game of its kind on your 360, and will offer many hours of great action if you get into it.

It still doesn't recapture the magic of the Dreamcast original, but Soul Calibur IV is still a great game with many hours of solid fighting action to offer.

It's a great party game, a bargain at $10 and it's the only way to hold an eating contest at your house without someone heaving on your rug.

I can only recommend Guitar Hero: Aerosmith to fans of both Guitar Hero and Aerosmith.

Everything, aside from the main character and his fighting skills are unremarkable, and there’s definitely a last-gen feel to the overall presentation.

A hastily made, not much fun, not worth the money movie add-on. You're better off buying a box of Hellboy Cornflakes.

In spite of the standard-fare visuals, FFA2 is a game no RPG fan should miss.

Battlefield: Bad Company doesn't do everything, but what it does, it does right.

But despite these major differences, On Tour stands tall on its own as a fantastic portable music game.

For everyone, it's a great deal—for $20 you not only get hours of great entertainment, you get your own little piece of video gaming history.

As a whole, Arkanoid is addictive and even though it's not the only retro title Taito has released lately, for my money it's the best one.

While its many tweaks send the series in new directions, they're still drenched in the franchise's unmistakable style, and rarely pull you from the fun.

Kojima claims MGS4 is Snake’s final chapter. And while I'm saddened to see one of gaming's greatest protagonists retire, I'm thrilled he got such an outstanding swan song.

I can see where 2K Sports was trying to go with Prizefighter, but in the end it just falls flat.

Edge of Reality seems to simply not have had enough time or money to do anything original with The Incredible Hulk.

The shooting isn't as tight as Gears of War nor the fighting as honed as a focused brawler, but the combination of simple, satisfying mechanics coupled with quality-oozing production values shoot this one to the top of the movie-licensed heap.

Whether you've been slaying fiends for years or are just learning the power of Ninpo, it doesn't matter; Ninja Gaiden 2 is a game all action fans should spin in their 360s

Sure, Kung Fu Panda won't be much to those hardcore gamers who have been dicing people up in the Ninja Gaiden series or wound up finishing Assassin's Creed for the story, but for kids this one's pretty solid.

The gameplay is addictive as ever and the Indy makeover oozes with style.

Overall, Indiana Jones: The Original Trilogy is cute and good for one or two laughs but is likely to bore older gamers. It's a perfect title, though, for gamers 10 and under.
