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.

And even though there are some hiccups to be found (e.g. the 3D levels lack of oomph) I had a real great time playing Nintendo’s latest addition to the Mario universe.

The single player mode is engaging and the multiplayer mode is much better than I expected. Yet at the end of the day, Crysis 2 arrives in a market saturated with shooters and I question whether it has the stamina to go the distance. Sure it's fun and has some unique elements, but sorry folks, the 'wow factor' is just not there for me. Unless you are a fan of the franchise, I recommend you rent this one first.

For those diehard baseball fans who want to take their gaming on the road and lead their favorite team to the World Series, you can’t go wrong with MLB for the PSP.

Whether you choose to play this one with friends or by yourself, All 4 One is a pretty fun game.

In what could have been a disaster, Fuse Games has taken the Metroid name and applied it to a really great looking and great playing pinball game.

Heavenly Sword is one heck of a ride, but unfortunately like a summer blockbuster it comes to an end way too quickly.

DJ Hero is a good game. Although it lacks a story mode, or additional objectives, it makes up for these ommissions with its unique gameplay, an original turntable controller, and the wide variety of song genres included.

Taking all the great game elements from the original board game and enhancing them and adding online play makes Risk: Factions a wonderful Xbox LIVE Arcade title.

It has memorable characters that also help to make it a good game, from a dysfunctional family to a nectar addicted teddy-bear named sunshine.

From the solid graphics and sound, enticing gameplay, to the great presentation, Ghostbusters fans should eat this up, and those not familiar with the movie should feel free to do so as well.

I have to admit that I had high hopes for Homefront. So the question remains, did it live up to the hype? Overall I would have to say yes, but there is a caveat here; don't expect it to be the best game ever. The story is solid, and there are some great turning points in the plot, but it just comes to an end too quickly.

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is another solid addition to the franchise and is the best Tony Hawk game on the DS to date.

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

With some pretty innovative and solid graphics, great sound and the inclusion of online support, this game is pretty much a must buy, especially for strategy fans looking for their fix on the Wii.

Overall, Skate 2 is an upgrade over the original instalment.

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.

With solid graphics, good sound and a really addictive multiplayer component, this game should be rated for what it is, an arcade soccer game that is meant to be played with others.

I would class NHL 2K6 as more of an NHL 2K5.5, as this game does not improve on last year's version as much as I hoped.

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.

In any event, overall Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is a good game; yet at the end of the day it is more of the 'same old.'

Street Fighter IV 3D Edition is pretty much a must have launch title for the 3DS.

A great update to very long running classic puzzle game.

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

I'll come right out and say it. The inclusion of Augusta and The Masters makes this an automatic purchase for golf fans on its own. EA Tiburon has painstakingly worked with Augusta National Golf Club to create an incredible representation of the course, the tournament and its storied history.

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.

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.

The graphics are stylish and sharp, the sound delivers and the campaign is pretty engaging.

MLB 08: The Show for the PS2 is arguably the best baseball game I have played in quite some time.

A great game for those not wanting a complicated storyline mixed in with a fair amount of detail and strategy.

PES 2012 is definitely a great game and deserves to be looked at by sports fans and soccer fans alike. Sure, the lack of an official FIFA license kind of sucks, but the solid visuals, good sound, and easy to pick up, but tough to master controls make this a virtual soccer game worth playing.

With some great visuals, typical sound, and some addictive gameplay, "Nintendo-holics" can't go wrong here.

If you are a fan of spooky sci-fi horrors and previously enjoyed Dead Space, then Dead Space 2 for the PS3 should be right up your alley. This being said, it still has a "been there and done that" feeling to it.

Simply speaking, graphics were better than I had expected, sound was very disappointing, and gameplay was solid.

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.

For the fans of the beloved series I would absolutely recommend playing 1942 Joint Strike.

Sega GT is heavy on the racing and tuning options and will make any avid racing fan smile with glee.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising offers quite a bit in this expansion. It is an enjoyable and action-oriented RTS style game mechanic with some RPG like elements that has a great story and enough content to keep your attention.

A pretty solid game that manages to recapture some of the award winning gameplay of Homeworld, but still fails to match up with its predecessor.

Add to the mix a host of extras like special tracks, detailed graphics and a couple of big air tricks and you've got a pretty entertaining little racing game.

A very complex and fun to play strategy game, with enough modular options to keep the gameplay different each time you play it.

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

The great difficulty is a good challenge to the hardcore shooter fan, and the extras are well worth the effort.

I had an overwhelming urge to yell at my character to stand up every time he or she (or it) fell down during a fight. This is my only beef with the game, though.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a title that brims with great visuals, solid sound, and some very good gameplay.

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

Overall, Madden NFL 11 is a great game, but compared to last year's installment I fail to see any significant leaps.

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.

Shadows of the Damned is definitely not a game for all those out there, but I do have to say that Grasshopper Manufacture has crafted an original experience that was worth my time to play.

Fans of the genre, old or new, should have little trouble getting into this old classic that should belong in any RPG lover’s PSP library.

Fans of the Lego series are in for another treat with Lego Batman.

The Gunstringer is a simple Kinect shooter affair, yet it is one of the more enjoyable Kinect games you will play. Its' unique gameplay is a hoot and much of that has to do with the seamless controls. The game is presented in a charming yet goofy manner that is engaging and entertaining.

Shattered Dimensions plays great homage to the Spidey of the future, past and present.

Overall, even though there are some minor AI issues, the enhanced graphics, Wii-remote specific control features and the addition of online multiplayer madness makes this title a worthy addition to any Wii owner's library of games.

By far one of the most insane, crazy, off the wall out to lunch games I've ever played. And I loved every minute of it.

There is easily enough shoot em' up action to keep any shooter fan wrapped up in the gameplay. Although there is some sneaking about players who like the sneaky approach won't find too much in this game.

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.

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.

Despite the average graphics you'll find this game to be quite intriguing and I'm certain you'll not be able to put it down.

They obviously are not the most realistic graphics, having more of a fairy tale, storybook-like quality to them, but there is so much richness and detail that they really stand out.

Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together meaningfully expands on the original game's deep interactive story and dynamic battle system, showing as much respect to prospective players as it does to its source material.

True to their nature, EA Sports has created another title for the PS2 which delivers detailed graphics and sound, absorbing the gamer into the pseudo reality of video game sports.

With innovative use of the Wii-mote and some pretty stylish graphics and sound, this game is definitely worth the price of admission.

With clean graphics, a rock solid framerate and a four player multiplayer mode that adds to the replayability of the game, Red Dog definitely is worth the price of admission.

This is a great sequel to "Diablo," and I highly recommend it.

An absolutely luscious score, combined with top-notch sound effects make it an audio delight.

There is some upgrading to this version of the series but I cannot help but get a feeling of Déjà vu.

While the sound and storyline disappoint somewhat the addition of a pretty good online multiplayer component helps somewhat even though there should be more modes.

Nanostray 2 is great follow-up to the original DS title.

If you own a 360, you’d most likely be better off playing that version if you haven’t done so yet.

The gameplay in this title uses what the machine was developed for, innovation, and Nintendo gets huge credit for that.

With just about everything you can expect from the series brought over onto the DS, this game features the high production values and classic JRPG gameplay coupled with the rewarding puzzles and unique Djinn battle system.

NBA Jam is a great arcade style sports game, period.

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!

All in all, I would definitely recommend Dante's Inferno to anyone that is a fan of hack and slash type games.

At the end of day veterans of band games, and newbies alike, really can’t go wrong picking up Lego Rock Band for some virtual shredding, drumming, and singing fun.

Overall, Band Hero plays and presents almost exactly like Guitar Hero 5.
