With complete single-player and multiplayer modes, it offers a wide-variety of gameplay.

I think Motionsports Adrenaline comes up a bit short. At the end of the day it is not a bad game but there are better motion control games out there.

Lord of the Rings: War in the North isn't the most innovative or original experience you will play on the Xbox 360, yet the co-op gameplay is very enjoyable. I can certainly see many gamers sitting back with their buddies enjoying mashing away through the games many levels while living out their LOTR fantasies.

Frogger Decades is an enjoyable reimagining of a gaming classic.

Overall, Kinect Sports Season Two is really just an average game but younger gamers should get a kick out of this one.

When it comes to Hunting games, Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2012 is as good as it gets. So for those of you looking for some arcadish, yet a bit on the simulation side, type of virtual hunting, then search no more as Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2012 is for you.

Okay, so it was vaguely interesting for me, but, train nuts out there, by all means add a point or two to the score. It's a niche sim, but it does exactly what it says on the tin, does it fairly well, and has only a few bugs, none of which are truly gamebreaking due to the nature of the game and its community.

Overall, the concept is good... but it does feel like it needs more polish.

Overall, X-Men Destiny is a game you should avoid. It has little in the way of redeeming qualities and other than racking up some relatively easy Xbox Achievements or PlayStation Trophies, X-Men Destiny comes across as an unfinished product that will likely hit bargain bins come boxing day. Sadly, Silicon Knights' slump continues on.

Overall, Just Dance 3 is one of the better dance games on the Xbox 360 Kinect.

However, the actual porting of these games just feels sloppy as the omission of online play for Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory is unfortunate and not allowing players to select an inverted control scheme is inexcusable. In the end, this compilation does have some merits, but the negative points really stand out and make this a tough one to recommend.

It's a good game, with a surprising amount of content for the price, but it will definitely turn away those who don't like even cartoon gore, and leave a slightly bitter taste in even the most hardened gamer's mouth... and mind.

There's other games that do MMA better and there's games that do blood and guts better. So is there any real reason to pick this one up? While Supremacy isn't technically all that bad there really isn't all that much reason to grab this one over a licensed MMA game or something even more over the top like Mortal Kombat. Rental? Perhaps but only if you're really strapped for something to play.

Overall, Fallen Champions could have been good. But I've taken a look at King Arthur: The Roleplaying Wargame, and found that this really is a bit of a stopgap game, something to keep the players happy between the first and the second. But this probably won't attract any new players, because the first missions are, with the exception of Lady Corighann's, pretty tedious, the CYOA sections could have used more work, and, there are more irritations than good points.

Overall, Sega's Rise of Nightmares makes valiant attempt at a creepy matured rated action horror game for the Kinect.

Overall, this is a game that does exactly what it sets out to do: Be an oldschool manshoot, but with modern elements in the mix that make it more enjoyable, and a suitably bonkers Cyberpunk plot (albeit without any real hacking... ah, well, can't have everything).

If you're jonesing for a shooter fix in this end of summer, pre-holiday rush of new games, Bodycount might just fill that void. I'd suggest a rental first though. The idea is there but the execution seems to lack that edge. This one amounts to nothing more than a completely generic shooting gallery. Even though the action is fast paced the controls, graphics, and sound are just okay at best.

A valiant first effort from MinMax, and worth at least a try. Especially considering that, like many indie devs, they're adding more content post release.

As such, like I said at the beginning, it's a game I want to like, and, on any other platform except PC, you can quite happily add a couple of points to the overall score. But, on PC at least, Dust doesn't quite push the right buttons for me to consider it the amazing game it could have been.

Overall, if you have a gamepad, and you like action RPGs with a bit of bite to them, at least give Chantelise a try, because it's fairly cheap, and, thanks to a time attack level feature, it's got some replay value. But if you don't have a gamepad, keep in mind that it's going to be hella difficult until you get one.

As such, if you're not a hardcore turn based strategy buff, stay away.

It's a short, cheap, and fun game, and the difficulty curve seems just right.

It isn't for everyone. But it is definitely a lot more user friendly than other examples of its genre, and, for the price, is potentially a good introduction to this sort of game.

Supreme Ruler: Cold War is a superb simulator.

In short, Jamestown is a fun old school game that, for the price, shows excellent play time, replay value, and variety.

Overall, this is a great strategy game, with a lot of flavour, and it'll only take a bit of work from the developers to make it excellent. And both the devs and the community are working on it, so we look forward to lots of fun!

Cars 2 for the Nintendo DS is an average title that could have been a whole lot more, considering how well the console versions were executed.

Overall, Greg Hastings Paintball 2 is an enjoyable fast paced game that could prove to be a good time with some friends. Although the game can be a bit of a challenge and has some frustrating moments, the good manages to outweigh the bad.

Overall, Transformers: Dark of the Moon is your typical movie based video game as it is thin on features and is about as mind numbing as the movie itself. Simply put, Dark of the Moon is not as good as last year's War for Cybertron, which is disappointing.

While I applaud the authenticity that Operation Flashpoint: Red River brings back to the FPS genre, mediocre graphics and sound, and some noticeable gameplay hitches prevent this from being a really good title. The co-op mode is definitely worth a try with friends though, and those looking for a more authentic shooter experience might really enjoy this one. Be forewarned, there is a steep learning curve to be found in this game.

Unfortunately, the gameplay experience in Dungeon & Dragons: Daggerdale suffers from a lot of gameplay problems including poor music, shoddy voice work, and a whole lot of repetitious combat. All of these issues ultimately take a lot away from this title, which had whole lot of potential when first announced. Although you have the opportunity to save Daggerdale in the game, there is unfortunately not a whole lot to go on to save this title from mediocrity

Overall, Tecmo Bowl for the iPhone and iTouch is a game I would not recommend to football fans looking for a Tecmo Bowl fix while on the go. The controlling players is troublesome and the lack of licensed players simply did not leave me with the same feeling I had when playing the game back in 1989. Also, when you consider the price ($7.99), there are simply better options available.

On the surface SpongeBob Squigglepants is a decent looking game, as it features SpongeBob at his finest and manages to maximize all of the uDraw's features to its fullest. Unfortunately, the quick pace of the nanogames, Patchy's grating voice, and the fact you can complete the game before lunch is served, make this a title that is hard for me to recommend everyone buy. What I can say though is that if you are a uDraw owner looking for some mindless SpongeBob entertainment, or you love that undersea sponge, then SpongeBob Squigglepants might just be right up your alley.

At the end of the day, Brink for the Xbox 360 is a game best left for gamers who really want to immerse themselves in some objective based online missions with some buddies; and I have to note, Brink is not intended to be played alone nor is it a game first person shooter fans will necessarily embrace. Brink is a unique game and does not follow the typical shooter template we have become accustomed to. In many ways Brink is an acquired taste. Unfortunately, my taste buds didn't exactly warm up to this one, but your experience may not be the same.

This game is based on a great idea but it suffers from poor execution. Gameplay counts and this one misses the mark big time in that respect, which is the reason for why I scored this game as I did. A real shame considering the pedigree of Sony exclusives. This one could have been so good.

Overall, Rabbids Travel in Time 3D manages to accomplish what it sets out to do. That is to provide mindless entertainment for 3D gaming on the go. It is a simple game, fun and perfect for younger gamers, as it is easy to pick up, the controls are very basic, and progressing along the games many levels is accomplished with ease. More mature 3DS owners will likely want to pass this one up, but younger 3DS will want to give this one a go.

Overall, Michael Jackson: The Experience pays a wonderful tribute to the King of Pop himself and contains nearly every Billboard Chart single Michael Jackson has touched over his career that spans several decades. This being said, Michael Jackson: The Experience for the Kinect is far from a rich or deep experience.

Red Faction: Battlegrounds is enjoyable, but ended up being just like the rest of the titles in this genre. Fans will probably enjoy it and there is the nice perk of bonus content for the future Red Faction title. In the end Red Faction: Battlegrounds suffers from being an average game.

At best, this one is a rental folks.

Naturally, when it comes to reviewing games geared towards a younger audience you have to look at things from a different point of view than you do with the regular games. While many of the mini-games blend together a bit too much for my liking, the younger gamers probably won't mind. The $30 price tag and various modes add just enough value to make this game worthwhile for those that liked the movie.

I came away from Nascar 2011 impressed. I think part of this was that I had zero expectations of the game going in but it is a fun, accessible video game version of the sport. Hardcore Nascar fans might find room for improvement but as a decently featured entry into Nascar it is a worthy first effort.

Sadly, this will have to go down as a missed opportunity that has changed very little since last year's version, making MotoGP 10/11 a difficult game to recommend, even to fans of the real-life racing series.

Overall I truly enjoyed playing this game and strongly recommend it as a new title for the 3Ds. The gameplay keeps evolving enough to keep you interested as you continue through and the graphics and sound keep you immersed in the world. Again my issue with the lack of explanation of the characters and history brings the game down for me a bit, but not enough for me to stop playing. This title is a great pick especially if you are a fan of platform adventure games and definitely if you are already into the Rayman series.

The rest is sort of cookie cutter so far and unfortunately the game's poor controls hold Shift 2 back from being a truly great title.

So if you need to shed a few pounds and don't have the cash to pay significantly more for other fitness games on the market, then Fit in Six for the PS3 might just be right up your alley.

At the end of the day fans of this genre might want to give it a whirl to see if it satisfies their need for a handheld racer before making the plunge into purchasing this title.

Overall this is the nicest, cleanest 3D game I have yet to see on the 3DS. I can't wait to see more titles from Ubisoft as it appears that they have utilized the 3D screen to its fullest. Unfortunately for its lack of gameplay variety and the simplistic controls, I do not recommend it for more mature gamers.

There's just not enough variety and some of the Move controls just aren't that great. Its sub-$40 price tag makes it a bit easier to stomach.

Overall I can't help but recommend this game, especially for those that have not played the original on the DS/DSi.

Knights Contract can be enjoyable, but its combat system is rough and not very unique.

There is no question that many may likely enjoy this game; however, do not expect the complete Madden experience we have come to take for granted.

On its own, Johnny Test is a fun little side scrolling platform adventure. The levels are a challenge and the Johnny Test world comes to life on Nintendo's tiny handheld machine. The only problem rests with those who watch the show as they will likely find this game too much of a challenge and may likely pass this one up for more forgiving options.

On the surface Super Monkey Ball 3D is a decent looking game with slick 3D effects. and the core "Monkey Ball" mode offers up some solid entertainment. My biggest concern is that after you peel away the banana outer skin, the Super Monkey Ball 3D experience is somewhat shallow as there is not nearly enough content here to justify paying full pop for game that will be collecting dust much sooner than later, which is sad given how past games have been so good.

In the end Ghostbusters: Sanctum of the Slime feels like many of the other dungeon crawling, top down shooter titles released over the years and that lack of innovation is this title's ultimate downfall.

If there is any fault here, it is that the Mission Mode is shorter then one would hope for, and the visuals don't take enough advantage of the 3D capabilities.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 is a strangely satisfying and very frustrating arcade racer.

Dance Paradise will be a great addition to a dance fan's library, but won't be as compelling as its competitors.

Tracking your Brain Age from day to day and playing the game with your friends is enjoyable. This being said, some of the mini puzzler games have control and response issues. Not to mention Body and Brain Connection seems to be limited in terms of content and variety.

As negative as I might sound about Arcana's problems, there is probably a niche group of gamers that could enjoy this game. However, it should only be considered for veterans of the genre that simply can't wait for the next Monster Hunter Portable iteration to come to the West.

For the price it's not bad for being a multiplayer-only title, it's just that nothing about Breach is particularly noteworthy.

If you're a golf fan it is well worth a look. John Daly's presentation values aren't nearly up to par with its competition which unfortunately skews the score low. High attention to detail with regards to swing mechanics work very well with the Move controller.

Overall, Split/Second for the PSP is a decent arcade racer for gaming on the go. Sure it has its share of issues that include some sluggish controls, rubber-band and collision detection concerns. Yet there is plenty of bang for your buck and fans of the next generation version of the game should enjoy this scaled back version.

For those that enjoy karaoke on the PS3, or enjoy SingStar games, SingStar Dance is most likely a no-brainer so you might as well treat yourself. That being said, it will cost you some coin to get a decent library of songs and the dancing elements in the game simply stink.

Overall, Sonic: Free Riders is game that could have used a few more months in the shop to fine tune some of the controls and the responsiveness of such.

Overall, the puzzle gameplay is well-designed and it takes some strategy and a bit of mind flexing to get your Mini Marios going in the right direction.

At the end of the day, Adrenalin Misfits is a Kinect game that fits well into the early games released for Microsoft's entry into the world of motion control.

In its simplicity, Splatterhouse remains faithful to its arcade roots, offering modern gamers a fresh take on a classic franchise minus the time limits and limited lives of arcade play.

Considering this is EA Sports first crack at an MMA game, the overall results are good.

The first is that this game is definitely not for diehard racing fans as the content and control will turn them off. On the other side of the fence though is the fact that I truly think this game is not that bad at all, and it could be a real hit when Kinect owners have friends or family over and they want to do something different for the night.

TRON: Evolution is definitely a good game; it just isn't a great game.

As far as Disney games on the DS are concerned Wizards of Waverly Place: Spellbound ranks among the better ones out there.

All in all, keeping the same Sims formula may keep old fans satisfied but in my eyes changing things up a bit more would have made this title much more interesting and successful.

If you've played a Pokémon Ranger adventure before, just beware that Guardian Signs isn't much of a departure from the last two titles in the series.

Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring is game that wrestling fans may want to try, but try with caution. The content is a refreshing take on the world of wrestling given that the Mexican spectacle of Lucha Libre takes center stage. That being said, the control and AI issues do take away from a game that could have been so much more and this is where the cautionary warning is duly noted.

Gormiti offers various gameplay elements such as platforming, basic combat, cooperative play (always good) and puzzles. Older gamers likely won't find much satisfaction with this one but I think it's pretty obvious this one's geared towards the younger crowd.

Shank ends up being a pretty decent game, but it didn't excite me in the end as much as I hoped it would.

At the end of the day, Quantum Theory is a poor man's Gears of War.

H.A.W.X. 2 is certainly an improvement over its predecessor; however it is far from being considered a must-own arcade based flight shooter.

Overall, Kane and Lynch 2 is best left as a weekend rental. While the story and characters can be entertaining at times, the repetitive gameplay and lackluster visuals prevent this game from being considered a must buy for shooter fans and Xbox 360 owners alike.

Ultimately Top Gun for PSN is enjoyable but far too short to the point where I'd have to question the value for dollar.

Unless you are a diehard fan of the series this is probably not your game. It can be extremely tough, especially at the beginning, and it just does not bring anything new to the franchise other than online co-op features.

The game is a lot of fun but quickly becomes repetitive; this combined with poor controls and short gameplay makes this title a lot less desirable in the end.

The game is a lot of fun but quickly becomes repetitive; this combined with poor controls and short gameplay makes this title a lot less desirable in the end.

NIER is a game that will undoubtedly appeal to a handful of RPG enthusiasts because of the story being told. For others, myself included, the game is a slapdash effort that fails to make good on its promise and it ultimately ends of falling into a pit full of worn-out RPG conventions.

Overall, Samurai Shodown Sen is a mixed bag indeed. The gameplay seems just adequate and the online play can be bogged down with the certain cheater moves we all love to hate. That being said though, nostalgic fans may want to check it out but most will probably pass this one over.

The gameplay is cumbersome and doesn’t seem to gain any momentum in the fun factor department.

I found that my time with How to Train Your Dragon was a mixed bag indeed. With so much going on it was really hard to gauge how much fun I really had as I went from one extreme to another.

From a casual gamer's view, I really wanted to like this game more then I did but I found it difficult to hold my attention to it. That being said, fans of the series may have a little more patience for it then I did but I just can't help but think but nothing can hide the inventible issues one may come across.

James Cameron’s new Avatar movie may revolutionize the movie industry with new 3D effects, but the game leaves a little bit to be desired.

Not all is lost with Tony Hawk: Ride though as the foundation is there for a decent game; you just might be better served to wait until the next instalment arrives with hopefully a little more polish.

While no single portion of the game is “best in class”, the sum of the parts is respectable.

In the end if one goes into Fairytale Fights with realistic expectations of what the game is, then one will no doubt enjoy what the game has to offer.

In the end Marvel Super Hero Squad sets out to do what it is supposed to, provide a mindless beat-em-up aimed at fans of the franchise.

Fans of the franchise will undoubtedly enjoy this video game version of the Bakugan card game, the rest of us however will likely pass this one up.

If you only own a Wii and are looking for a football game for kids, then Backyard Football could very well be the game for you. Be forewarned though, with mediocre graphics and silly sound, it really doesn’t hold up when compared to any other versions on competing consoles aside from some token but fun motion controls.

With first-gen graphics, a mixed audio package, and some broken gameplay elements, JU-ON: The Grudge is a very mixed bag indeed. Although it did offer up some spooky moments, there were just too many issues for it to overcome.

In the end, if you have the other two then this game should make a solid addition to the previous games; however before you spend full price on this game you might want to check the used games bin for one of the two other Cars games that have been released before.

I just can't recommend Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky to anyone that has played the previous games in the series. It looks like a GBA game, and is chock full of lazy and somewhat dated gameplay.
