    Sins of a Solar Empire
    While Sins of a Solar Empire probably isn't a big deal to those who have already played the hell out of a large-scale, turn-based space strategy game, those of us who never got too far into those games will find the RTS action of Sins to offer something with a little more action and excitement.

    Rez HD
    Rez HD is a perfect fit for the 360 and its affordable 800 point ($10) price tag makes this one a must have.

    Burnout Paradise
    The free world seems great but quickly gets annoying, but it's not long after that players will start to get why EA and Criterion did it this way.

    Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
    Overall, Days of Ruin is a fitting sequel to the popular Advance Wars franchise.
    • 72 Metascore

    Rail Simulator
    Really, though -- you do not need to be a train enthusiast to get something out of this package -- you just have to have an open mind and be willing to try out something new.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Atari Classics Evolved
    Overall, this game's got more than you might expect for the price, but it's still missing things that serious retro gamers on the go are looking for.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
    Overall, NiGHTS is not a bad game. Flying around is still as fun as it was the first time around on the Sega Saturn, though this time it is more because of the quality of world design as opposed to the tight controls of the last edition of this game.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command
    In the end, it is blatantly obvious that this game was initially designed for the PSP and ported over to the DS in an effort to capitalize on Nintendo's massive market share.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    MX vs. ATV Untamed
    MX vs. ATV Untamed is not a bad choice on the 360, but it's not a terribly great one either.

    Elements of Destruction
    Elements of Destruction really is a great idea for a game. It gives you a chance to get into a godlike role and just go crazy destroying a city with various forces of nature.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Geometry Wars: Galaxies
    This is definitely worth picking up if you aren't going to get frustrated with the controls too easily. If hard-to- get-used-to controls get on your nerves easily, though, skip this game and go play it on your 360 instead.

    Mass Effect
    Is this Bioware's best game? No. But Mass Effect is still a damn fine game with a huge scope, dozens of hours of play from beginning to end, and it's got just about everything that makes sci-fi so compelling in the first place.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Rock Band
    Overall, I feel Rock Band is a great game that will please many a music fan. The available songs and the vast amount of promised downloadable songs in the future will ensure that you play this for a long time to come.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    SoulCalibur Legends
    In the end, this game tries to evoke the fun and charm of Soul Calibur and backs it up with the signature Renaissance-era style and operatic music, but the mostly text-based story and dull, tiresome combat with the same few enemies over and over really make this pretty much a cheap cash-in.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Geometry Wars: Galaxies
    Geometry Wars: Galaxies is about as good a sequel as we can get to what originally was a bonus mini-game in Project Gotham Racing and then eventually a downloadable $5 game.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Godzilla Unleashed
    Sometimes nostalgia isn't enough.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Star Trek: Conquest
    This is a decent little distraction for the right kind of board game-playing, Star Trek-nerd, Wii-owning gamers out there, but most of the rest will probably want to stay away.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Unreal Tournament III
    From the sheer number of maps to the entertaining gameplay modes and overall presentation, Unreal Tournament 3 is a winner.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
    While there are very few PS3-only games that have come out this year, Uncharted can go right to the top of that small pile.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity
    If you're just after a quick rental, though, this can be worth checking out. And if you're a parent with a kid who likes Code Lyoko, put the 40 bucks down and grab this game -- they're sure to get a kick out of it.

    Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
    While I commend the developers at Ubisoft for trying to do new and original things in this sequel - one that comes only a year after its predecessor - it seems that the Rayman Raving Rabbids idea just isn't quite good enough for a real franchise.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
    This game could have been much better with a more rounded out story and a little polish, but what we get here is a good amount of raw fun and plenty of survival-horror nostalgia.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends
    Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends feels like a second helping of the first game, rather than a new dish, but that doesn’t make it any less tasty.
    • 97 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    Super Mario Galaxy
    If there's only one Wii game that you buy this year, make sure that it is Super Mario Galaxy.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command
    Overall, Squad Command is an excellent pickup for a strategy fan. You get a nice and difficult campaign to play through with a wide variety of weapons to rain destruction upon your enemies.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ultimate Mortal Kombat
    Ultimate Mortal Kombat is definitely a worthy pickup for any fan of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
    Overall, I'd still recommend this game, despite its higher-than-expected price point. You'll still have a good bit of fun for your gaming dollar.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance
    Of course, I think THQ and Gas Powered Games probably realized early on that their fan base has been dwindling, so this seems more to be an honest effort. It's damn good, but it's just not quite enough to rekindle interest in their game.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Gears of War
    Despite some complaints with the multiplayer mode and Windows Live quibbles, Gears of War is still a damn fine PC port of an excellent action game.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the best game in the series yet, largely due to the change in setting and the level of emotion that Infinity Ward has embedded into their story.
