    For those that enjoy karaoke, and who may have already established a decent SingStar library, SingStar Country will most likely be right up your alley. However with only 30 songs and no ability to download content as you can in the next-gen SingStar games, you should be aware there are better options available for fans of the genre.

    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.

    • 70 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    NHL 2K9 for the PS3 is a title that like any veteran NHL player knows how to put forth a solid effort.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    NHL 2K9 for the Wii disappoints in the graphical department as it cannot compete with its competitors in terms of visual appeal. However, the hands-on controls more than make up for this by adding a sense of actually being in the game and not just sitting on the couch playing the game
    • 80 Metascore

    • 65 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score

    • 82 Metascore

    • 45 Critic Score
    The problematic controls, somewhat bland visuals and forgettable sounds all lend to a game which is going to become bargain bin material sooner than one may hope.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    The game is a simulation/RPG monster that will fulfill any baseball fanatic's dream of playing in the minor leagues, big leagues, or just managing a team.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    For those still clinging on to their PS2, MLB Power Pros 2008 is a decent purchase but I would encourage you to rent the game beforehand as it probably isn't for everyone.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Perfect for gaming on the run. It will keep you entertained for several hours and the initial gameplay offers up enough value to keep you occupied while waiting in an airport or riding on a subway.
