    Empire Earth II
    One of the most epic, detailed, varied and deep RTS games ever created. It's going to challenge all gamers of all skill levels, from hardcore strategist and newbies.

    Fallout 3: Point Lookout
    Non-linear exploration returns! Clever twists and a great new setting usher in some welcome entertainment.

    Yakuza 3
    If you're expecting a Japanese take on GTA, guess again. If you want pure action, you'll be bored to tears by the lengthy cutscenes. If you're hoping for complex, RPG-like leveling mechanics, you'll be disappointed. Yakuza 3 is a quirky hodgepodge of various genres that rewards the patient japanophile looking to kick a little ass.

    Kameo: Elements of Power
    Kameo: Elements of Power has the hallmarks of a solid RPG, but fortunately the focus is on action - and it's virtually non-stop.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    NBA Jam
    NBA Jam on Wii is a solid, fun reboot that should please many fans. Considering its roots, the game aims to deliver the goods, but it doesn't quite reach its full potential.

    The King of Fighters XIII
    Overall, King of Fighters XIII is a very fun game to play.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Rock Band Unplugged
    Though playing individual instruments may not be quite as challenging, the overall level of difficulty can be even more trying. Thankfully, for the rhythmically-challenged and casual players, four levels of difficulty mean you will be able to gradually improve your skill set and still jam on to great tunes.

    Metroid: Other M
    While Metroid: Other M isn't without its flaws, specifically awkward controller transitions and some aiming issues, the entirety of the package is quite good.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2
    The story is long and branching, and will take at least 20 hours the first time you play through.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    R-Type Final
    It's a sharp looking game loaded with action from the get-go. The range of difficulty settings ensures that hardcore gamers will get the workout that they crave while remaining totally accessible to all but the most feeble of players.

    Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster
    This game is a worthwhile investment if you've got young kids, or if you are incredibly young at heart. It may not be very complex, challenging, or long, but its heart is definitely in the right place. And that's what makes Once Upon a Monster a stand-out game.

    Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands
    Like the episodes before it, Baddest of the Bands is wildly ridiculous and largely entertaining. It doesn't pack quite the epic feel or the challenge of Episode 2, but the rocking subject matter is a perfect fit for Strong Bad's outrageous wit.

    Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
    If you’re a newcomer to the series, it’s recommended that you play the first two before delving into this one, as you’ll miss out on the developed story up to that point. If you’re looking for a new World War II multiplayer experience, it would be best to skip over Hell’s Highway and wait for something a little more multiplayer-oriented.

    Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
    If you can get past the cutesy visuals and enjoy creative and time-consuming games with lots of challenges, you should probably give it a try. On the other hand, if you're looking for a fast-paced, adventure-filled experience, this may not quite meet your expectations.

    Star Wars: Empire at War
    Not only is this a great game but like most Star Wars videogames, the production values are beyond reproach. The game looks fantastic.

    • 68 Critic Score
    The Bigs
    The Online mode suffers from some noticeable lag.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    EA Sports MMA
    But no matter what the future holds, EA Sports MMA is a title that MMA fans should appreciate, and is a refreshing take on the MMA genre.

    Scribblenauts
    All in all, Scribblenauts is a game to praise.

    Dead or Alive Dimensions
    With a plethora of modes and an engaging online experience, DOA: Dimensions has lasting value for sure.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
    A great game with amazing graphics, epic boss battles, good gameplay, and mechfights in the snow. It's hard to go wrong with that combination, and Capcom didn't, essentially creating a great gaming experience.

    Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors
    It's a marvel. I logged at least 25 hours my first time through and I hadn't even come close to seeing everything this game has to offer. Even with the games flaws front and center at times, all of the innovations and extras add up to a sequel worth crowing about.

    Chime
    At least $3 of the $5 you spend will go to charity, and you'll get at least several hours' worth of play time.

    Return to Mysterious Island
    Puzzle fans that are looking for puzzles that aren't confounding for the sake of just being confounding are advised to check out Return to Mysterious Island.

    Eternal Sonata
    The incredible visuals, mature storyline, and fun, pseudo real time combat keep the game feeling fresh from start to finish.

    • 86 Critic Score
    NCAA Football 07
    On its own merit, this title provides near-perfect football gameplay with a decent dynasty mode. But when stacked next to the Xbox and PS2, its hard to justify the extra ten dollar price tag for a less extensive overall experience.

    echochrome
    Ultimately Echochrome is a concept wrapped up in a game - its minimalist design philosophy paired with new mechanics will win it praise from the games-are-art crowd. However, some gamers may find the mechanics and puzzles fairing on the esoteric side.

    • 84 Critic Score
    Mega Man 10
    With the addition of Proto Man, a challenge mode, and an easy mode for beginners, Mega Man 10 has more to offer than 9 and can be fun for almost any player, not just the longtime fans.

    Gun
    Gun has a great story and it's presented with panache.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Worms Reloaded
    Again, for all but the most obsessed longtime fans, there isn't enough new here to warrant a fresh purchase. However, anyone looking for the best possible Worms experience will find it here, and lapsed fans who haven't played since the late '90s just might rekindle their interest in the franchise.

    South Park: The Fractured But Whole
    The Fractured but Whole feels like it’s for the superfan, the person who has been with the series since 1997 and has a shelf full of merchandise. It is for the kind of person who finds glee in self-referential content and doesn’t mind clicking through a bunch of banal video game tropes to find the next “I recognize this thing and clapped!” moment. South Park: The Fractured but Whole feels dated, shallow, and lacking in the purpose or self-awareness needed for a work of satire to hit its mark. It feels like it’s trying too hard to recapture that edge.
