    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 a lengthy single player campaign, and a multiplayer versus mode available, the game really provides a lot to do.

    The challenge made for a frustrating game, but this keeps you driven to win. The graphics are nice, and the sound is good but the gameplay is what REALLY makes MMX5 worth playing.

    Yes - there were many technical issues with this game, but at the end of the day, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 - Mutant Nightmare won the hearts of my Game Testers because it was challenging, and there was enough going on to keep them entertained.

    The fast paced action, smooth gameplay and variety of units provide a much needed boost to the single player game play of the series. Even with some minor annoyances with the menus and on some loading screens the overall game makes up for it in spades, especially at a reasonable price tag on Steam.

    Although I was somewhat disappointed by the small leap in visual quality and the average sound effects, it was the music, the online multiplayer, the new touch screen functionality, and the usual addictiveness that drew me in to keep catching them all this time around.

    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.

    Phineas and Ferb for the Nintendo DS is a great family title that uses the stylus controls really well and adapts the television series accurately.

    Easy to learn controls, over the top graphics, online gameplay and some of the best Superstars from past and present all packed into one title makes for some great WWE fun. There are definitely some gameplay flaws that can make the title a bit frustrating; however with that in mind THQ has accomplished what they set out to do with WWE All-Stars. They made a fun and enjoyable game and a WWE title for fans past, present and future.

    A kick ass looking shooter. Unfortunately the length of the game combined with the unlimited continues makes it a short experience.

    Overall, Ghost Recon Shadow Wars for the 3DS is one of the better Nintendo 3DS games available at launch. This turn-based Ubisoft experience is an enjoyable ride from beginning to end. While the pace of the game can take some getting used to, the results are satisfying and any fan of turn-based or Ghost Recon games will inevitably want to pick this one up if you are one of those 3DS early adopters.

    The gameplay is much improved from last year's game. For one, the new controls open up many new strategies.

    Hoard is a fantastic game because of the complex strategies available that have been boiled down into 10 minute chunks of gaming.

    The game offers an intriguing story which spices things up very well, but it does so without doing anything revolutionary.

    After a bit of practice and familiarizing myself with the songs I started having a lot of fun with Disney’s Sing It. If you know the songs, or like catchy pop tunes, you will most likely enjoy playing it too.

    Need for Speed Undercover is the best NFS game since Most Wanted but there are still a few more areas which need to be improved before we call Undercover the Need for Speed champ.

    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.

    Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary for the PSP is an excellent compliment to the original classic and is fantastic port from the PS2.

    NCAA Basketball 10 is targeted towards college hoop fans and there is no question they will love the presentation and the excitement the game brings. That being said, although the gameplay remains on par with other basketball games already on the market there is nothing other than the NCAA brand which differentiates this game from any other basketball game out there.

    Overall, Junction Point did a pretty good job; however, the game does have some deficiencies that hurt the overall experience, with control and camera issues being at the forefront. Regardless, this game does stand out from the holiday crowd and anyone who owns a Wii, and wants to see a different vision of the Disney universe, should definitely take a look at this game.

    MX vs. ATV Alive is a pretty good experience. Well many people out there may slam THQ for trying to offer a somewhat stripped down experience for a cheaper price in an effort to sell more DLC, I have to applaud them as they have indeed tried to make this a very customizable experience.

    It keeps the basic formula that keeps 2D RPGs at the top if their class, but adds in some interesting elements as well. The ease of the touch screen also makes this game accessible to almost anyone.

    While Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a lot of fun to play it gave me something that isn't as easy to measure and is far more subjective; it gave me hope, hope that the Need for Speed Franchise will continue and may even thrive.

    Moon really is a good game for the Nintendo DS. With an interesting story, amazing graphics, solid gameplay, and a nice mix of things to do, it is only the short length and repeated enemies that brings the overall score down a notch or so.

    Even though the game is somewhat easy it still manages to breathe new life into the StarFox franchise and anyone with a DS would be crazy not to pick up this title and give it a go.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Overall I found the games quick, easy and quite enjoyable. The title gets everyone in the family involved, including my young son who especially loved River Rush and Rallyball. The only downfall of Kinect Adventures is that there are only five games to play which will unfortunately make the title repetitive over time.

    If you were a fan of the original Infamous, you should absolutely love Infamous 2. While it really doesn't do a lot to really push the game into new territory, it also doesn't try to fix a formula that isn't broken. Terrific presentation values, a long campaign, and tons of replayability round out a very solid title; but before you venture to New Marais just make sure to play the original game first!

    Bulletstorm is the equivalent of a summer time big-screen Hollywood blockbuster. Sure it is fun and features plenty of eye candy that pushes the limits of the Xbox 360's hardware, but it lacks in depth and substance.

    Ultimate Band is a great title for those who have been daunted by the idea of using up limited space with extra gaming peripherals. The only downfall to the additional instruments is that playing multiplayer may be a little bit more difficult if you don’t have a full compliment of Wii Remotes and Nunchuks.
    • 69 Metascore

    I’m reasonably sure it may not be the most in-depth RPG out there today, but as someone that traditionally doesn’t play the genre I found Glory of Heracles for the Nintendo DS both accessible and a lot of fun to play.

    Overall, Disney Universe is one of the more charming games to arrive on the PS3 this holiday season. The game never takes itself too seriously and manages to effective accomplish what it set out to do and that is please Disney fans. While the game may lack some depth, it makes up for its shortcomings with some enjoyable co-op gameplay, slick visuals and lovable characters.

    At the end of the day, even with some minor quirks, it strips away the glossy veneer of the mob underworld and reveals a gritty and seedy interior like no game before it. I strongly recommend you visit Vito Scalleta's world to experience it yourself.

    So, overall, FPS fans rejoice, for this is a darned good game for the price. However, definitely keep in mind my previous advice: Get a headset, work together, play the tutorials. If all you care about is a high score and a KDR, don't bother, this isn't your type of game. If you truly care about teamwork, and love games which encourage it, this is definitely your thing.

    Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock is a pretty good compliation of music that anyone should enjoy.

    I have to say that overall I was pleasantly surprised with Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. From the great visuals and sound, to the addictive gameplay, this is a pretty good XBLA title. The only thing that hurts this game somewhat is the short gameplay length and lack of online cooperative play. That being said, fans of twin-stick shooters, and fans of the Warhammer universe alike, will enjoy this title.
