Alan Wake is arguably the best Psychological Action Thriller game on the Xbox 360 to date.

NCAA Football 09 certainly lived up to my expectations and is a significant leap from last year's version.

In terms of control, the pitching in MLB '07: The Show seems to have gotten a lot of attention.

Despite some notable additions (e.g. the Wi-Fi mode comes to mind), some minor gameplay adjustments, and monsters that you can now capture directly, Pokemon Platinum has not changed substantially enough from Diamond or Pearl for most to justify its purchase.

Kard Combat is an absolutely fantastic game.

WarioWare D.I.Y. contains the standard WarioWare, formula but it puts the creative tools in your hands in an effort to allow you to craft whatever microgames your mind can think of.

Wipeout Pulse for the PSP is a great update to the long running racing series that is exclusive to Sony branded machines.

And with solid gameplay, including the new ACES system and sprinting capability, solid graphics, excellent sound, and a very engaging multiplayer component, this sequel is pretty darn good.

Overall, Dance Central has all the necessary ingredients to make a fantastic dancing game. Fantastic tunes, slick looking visuals and an enjoyable experience for all, pretty much sums up Dance Central. This being said, Dance Central is light on features, offers up no single player story mode and a 32 songs out of the box is simply not enough in this day in age. So to say Dance Central has a lot of room for growth would be an understatement.

When looking at Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2, and taking the sum of all its parts, this series still remains as one of the easiest to pick up and play golf games that any one can take part in on the PSP.

SingStar is a top notch karaoke game and the online community features gives the game a dimension entirely new to the genre.

If you are a baseball fan and own a PSP you need to give your head a shake if you haven’t picked this one up yet.

Overall the transition from third to first person is smooth and the on-rails gameplay really helps to make it a mature title as it captures the visual details that Dead Space is known for.

At the end of the day both veterans of the series and newbies alike will enjoy a round or two of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09.

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise is a must buy for fans of the original and newbies alike as the game will please those piñata collecting needs.

This game is an excellent segway for FIFA 2011 and World Cup fans who are anxiously awaiting the start of the real World Cup in South Africa can get some 'footy' satisfaction by picking this game up.

From hunting submarines in a helicopter whilst utilising sonar buoys or making a tense approach into an all too shallow harbour to stick your periscope up and take a peek at what’s there, Dangerous Waters manages to simulate all the thrills and spills of modern naval warfare seamlessly.

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.

If you're an adventure game fan or simply like the themes, setting, and story presented, you owe it to yourself to look into Gemini Rue!

Once again, EA Sports NCAA franchise has managed to up-the-ante resulting in a game that is more authentic and enjoyable than ever before.

With such a huge open world, tons of cars and events plus future downloadable content, the longevity of Test Drive Unlimited is quite high.

In the end Blur deserves a close look, especially by those racing fans out there looking for something a bit different.

It is cleverly crafted on what are some tried and tested ideas, mixed with a healthy dose of epic storytelling and good old fashioned gore.

A middling offering. What it offers in great visuals, it loses in making those visuals static.

With solid visuals, surprisingly good sound, and some pretty addictive gameplay, how can one not love this game?

The brightest star in the title is the online component and this aspect of SOCOM really had me sold as it has a great balance of features, huge maps, full rooms and minimal hiccups.

Overall, Henry Hatsworh in the Puzzling Adventure is truly a satisfying game and has provided the most fun I have had on the DS in quite some time.

At the end of the day there is really nothing here to convince a newcomer that the 8-bit era was great, but for those who remember any of it, Mega Man 9 is the experience of the year and is hopefully only the first of many more to come.

With an artistic visual design and a sound package that is second to none, Brutal Legend is a game metal heads and Jack Black fans will undoubtedly want to pick up.

It's definitely better than your average hack n' slash game but the wonky AI will probably frustrate you to no end.

If you're a fan of squad-based combat, this title is a must!

It builds complex and incredibly fun levels based on simple mechanics.

When everything is taken together Mario Kart is definitely another must buy game for Nintendo’s innovative system.

Even if you are not a racing game fan, Split/Second offers up so much fun from the get-go you just can't go wrong picking this title up.

In the end, if you have never played the original, or are looking for a walk down memory lane, then Halo Anniversary is definitely for you.

Though the graphics did disappoint me all was made better as the game has great sound, a creative control scheme, a good single player campaign and a robust multiplayer mode.

If you enjoy puzzles, this is one for you. Kind of like a 5000 piece jigsaw with only 3 shades of grey to choose from be prepared to spend many hours piecing this mystery together.

Madden NFL 09 All-Play for the Wii is a game that really took me by surprise. With solid graphics, solid sound, and great gameplay that can be tailored for any level of gamer, this game scores a huge touchdown.

After spending time with Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection, I would have to say that this is some of the best virtual pinball that I have ever played.

FIFA 08 is definitely a marked improvement as it has continued to evolve over the past few years.

Real time strategist or not, if you are a Halo fan you owe it to yourself to play Halo Wars, it just may change the way you look at the series.

The learning curve is higher than some gamers may want.

After spending my time with it though I have to say that this is a solid third-party entry that a lot of people need to play.

The graphics may be of a lesser quality and the frame rate may not be as stable as on a good PC system, but as someone who doesn't give a whit about graphics and only mentions them for the sake of completeness, I can say I would vastly prefer the PS2's increased ease of use over the PC's unbelievably difficult interface.

It's been a while since I caught myself laughing out loud while playing a game. The game play is simple and really is an escape from some of the mind numbing titles out there.

This is not a title I would recommend to the average gamer, but it is a unique experience and I found it well worth the time, just for the weirdness factor.

In the end Blur deserves a close look, especially by those racing fans out there looking for something a bit different.

From the solid graphics, superb sound, to the engrossing single player experience and the well implemented multiplayer component, gamers will find a heck of a lot to like here.

The updated graphics, new control, and addition of online multiplayer play have brought this series into the next-generation of gaming.

Korg DS-10 Synthesizer Plus is a title that isn't a game as it is more of a musical software tool that has an amazing amount of depth and detail.

Let's hope that next time around Nintendo adds some much needed wireless multiplayer to breathe extended life into this game.

Diehard gearheads out there who really like to tinker with a vehicles set-up might be a little disappointed with inability to do so in the Career or Trans World Mode. However, that being said, with great graphics, good sound and some very engaging gameplay (multiplayer included) one cannot go wrong with this racing title.

The textures and vibrence of colours simulate the terrain perfectly.

Regardless, Saints Row 2 is a solid game that is full of lots of missions and activities that will keep gamers busy for quite sometime.

The game is fast, fun, easy to control, and it's the first title to offer up to four players for the PS2 with a multitap device.

The gameplay is great, the story is interesting, and the online functionality is superb.

Just Cause 2 is one of those games where you can be critical of specific elements of the game but they still all come together to create an enjoyable game.

Although Rage has some cookie cutter moments, and the fetch quests can feel a bit too much, the visuals, control, and sound make up for this in spades.

The game's visuals jump off the screen with incredible colour and the anime inspired characters seem at home on Sony's handheld.

But the game-play elements are bound seamlessly together and as a whole you get something just as good as any of those games.

Not only does Cell Bound feature a novel twist with the rotation mechanic, but Hothead has also done a superb job with the style of the game.

Overall I have to give credit to the big 'N' for not just cashing in on another storied franchise as they have reworked it for fans of the original while giving those new to the franchise a fresh and exciting game to play.

The lack of a multiplayer mode was somewhat disappointing but rest assured should you decide to pick up and purchase this title you won’t be disappointed by the rest of the package.

With good graphics, solid sound, and a great single player and multiplayer experience, it is easy to recommend that owners of the Wii pick up this reincarnated GoldenEye 007 game as you'd be missing one of the better FPS titles on the console and one of the better Wii games this holiday season.

It is a surprisingly deep game that does a good job of combining genres and providing a surprisingly deep gameplay experience.

By far one of the best games that I have played this year.

(Da Gameplay is) genius' I tell you. 007 is pure magic.

The game is an amazing visual feast with some excellent gameplay which most gamers should at least try as if they don’t them may be passing on having a chance to experience something truly great.

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

Child of Eden is one of the most unique games you will play on the PS3. The addictive gameplay, vibrant visuals, solid sound and challenging level designs all make for game PlayStation Move owners should strongly consider. Just be aware, it is a short single player only experience that does not offer up much in the way of replay value.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is once again at the front of the class, given that there is nothing else out there. The visuals are solid, the sound is good, and the gameplay does not falter.

Adds to the genre with it's fluid, balanced use of units and beautiful graphics. This is a must own for all you RTS fans out there.

Prince of Persia for the Xbox 360 is a pretty game and features many enjoyable and death defying moments. However, the combat controls suffer, the story is uninspiring, and the game is far too repetitive for my liking.

With great graphics, quirky sound and a very innovative use of the bongos, this game goes to show you that Nintendo still has great minds creating original and great games.

The variety of game modes, the spice of the power shots, the unbelievable graphics, and the endless amount of replayability make Mario Power Tennis possibly one of the best Nintendo games on the market.

If you're interested in strategy games, I highly recommend you pick this one up and keep your eyes on 11 bit studios in the future!

A significant leap from last years version.

SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 really does stand up to the saying “It’s Your World Now”. The whole package is a dream come true for WWE fans all around the world.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is once again at the front of the class, given that there is nothing else out there. The visuals are solid, the sound is good, and the gameplay does not falter.

If you like the game of golf, and appreciate a well styled, RPG-like game with an online component, then I would certainly pick up Hot Shots Fore!

Not only did Eye Toy get my wife to play a video game but more importantly it got me off the couch and into the action.

With very few negatives and a lot of positives you cannot go wrong with this game.

Given the price of admission, which includes the game and one MotionPlus controller, I’d say that you can’t go wrong picking up this title as it should keep you and your friends busy for quite some time.

The game just doesn't measure up to PC standards; it doesn't even come close.

With improved graphics, wireless controls and great integration of the PLAYSTATION Network in so many ways, you will spend many hours testing your knowledge with all the trivia questions offered.

Extremely visually appealing and mentally stimulating.

The humor and voice acting are at the very top of any game list and make playing MDK2 an absolute pleasure.

The only beef I have with the game is the sheer size of the levels makes it confusing and tends to drag out the gameplay. Aside from that I was very pleased with this game.

A highly entertaining action/adventure that gets better as you progress.

Arguably one of the best driving games on the PSP to date. The graphics are stellar, the sound is good, and the gameplay is engaging, addictive and highly entertaining.

Although Ninjatown’s gameplay is not necessarily my style, it is at its heart a worthy and very sound tower defence game.

It plays well, and above all it is fun.

Although Gran Turismo 5 Prologue was released as a small taste of what is to come in the final version of GT5, this taste is definitely more then just a small demo.

Lionhead Studios tried to do some new things with this RPG, but, unfortunately they didn't quite make the impression that improved the game.

I would have to say that even with its shortcomings, the Wii version of Call of Duty: Black Ops is a great game that will provide hours of play, particularly online.

In Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, Konami has finally brought the original Dracula X to North America and gave it a 2.5 D update that will have a ton of Castlevania junkies clamoring for more of the same.
