    The music is tight, the game's easy enough that newcomers can quickly get the hang of it, the visuals are downright beautiful, and, overall, I'd say buy this game.

    It may not be everyone’s game of choice but for me I enjoyed the vast level types and the actual storyline isn’t half bad either.

    Just don't expect the replay value to be very high, as most experienced gamers will likely not take too long to finish the entire game.

    Return to Dream Land is yet another Nintendo title that should be bought by all, as it is a worthy holiday release for the Wii console indeed.

    Although not graphically as good as the PC version, UT for the PS2 still offers up the same stellar sound and enough single player action to keep you satisfied.

    Pikmin newbies and curious Wii owners alike should definitely take a look at New Control Play! Pikmin, especially if they have a craving for something a bit different.

    Considering this is Ubisoft’s first attempt at developing an RTS game with consoles in mind, Tom Clancy’s End War is terrific game.

    For those looking for a game with an immersive and riveting storyline, many gripping intense moments, a slick array of original weaponry, and some terrific nightmarish shooter sequences, then Metro 2033 is right up your alley.

    It is like "Diplomacy," "Privateer," and "Space Combat" merged into one. The thrill will linger for a long time as the options seem endless.

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

    There are some flaws but the pure speed, control and ability to lay the smack down is rewarding enough to place the joystick up from this reviewer.

    Something bothered me though as there was no story in the intro and this can make the game really confusing to those who have never played the Donkey Kong Country games before.

    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.

    Madden 10 for the Nintendo Wii is very stylized version of their long running gridiron franchise. With original graphics, solid sound, and very Wii centric gameplay, there is no doubt that this game has made some drastic changes on this console.

    Once again, Zen Studios proves they are the King of Virtual Pinball and have provided fans with another great table to keep your pinball flippers flapping away. With such an amazingly built game who can really say no to another table to extend the life of the game and bring more hours of pinball fun.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    In the end the game is solid, but too familiar, and I truly wonder what can be done to inject new life into a franchise that has been around for so long to make it an even better experience.

    If you are a fan of the original game, orenjoy spooky sci-fi horror games such as Doom and Dead Space, then F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin for the Xbox 360 should be right up your alley.

    Mercury Meltdown Revolution is a great puzzle game for the Nintendo Wii. The use of the Wii-remote is so natural it is a wonder that this game was not released any sooner.

    Overall this title offers a lot in single player and multi-player area and does the RPG dynasty justice keeping fans happy and busy until a new Dragon Quest title comes along.

    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.

    Transformers: War for Cybertron has taken a significant leap over the previous next-gen Transformer games.

    For fans of the genre, American Wasteland will deliver more of the same, with an added beefy story mode option that flushes out a fairly interesting narrative, moving the game up a notch from pervious titles.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    With innovative use of the Wii-mote and some pretty stylish graphics and sound, this game is definitely worth the price of admission.

    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.

    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.

    The Bigs 2 offers an enjoyable and arcadish take on baseball. It may not offer enough depth for purists, but for players like me, that like a little bit of arcade fun mixed in, it delivers in spades. A worthy sequel this game is indeed.

    For those that enjoy karaoke, or who enjoy SingStar games and own a PS3, SingStar Vol. 2 is most likely a no-brainer and you might well treat yourself.

    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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    While the game conveys a good sense of realism, I can't help feel that it's somewhat linear. The tracks become too familiar until more are unlocked. Otherwise, Tokyo Extreme Racer is excellent.

    Although the graphics may not be spectacular, and the sound is less than should be expected, the game more than makes up for it's shortcomings by being undeniably addictive and fun to play.

    With improved visuals the game has been somewhat brought into the 21st century; however the lack of a multiplayer mode is somewhat disconcerting in this day and age of wireless capabilities.

    Tripwire has created a very awesome game. They succeeded in making a realistic, strategic, first-person shooter. It isn't a game designed with a single-player campaign in mind. It isn't for people wanting a twitchy, run-and-gun FPS. It's designed for PC gamers who want a complex shooter.

    Tomb Raider: Underworld is a pretty good game. I had some high hopes that this latest release would take the series to new heights, but the technical issues that raise their ugly head take away from the overall experience.

    Ghostbusters: The Video Game for the Nintendo Wii is a great single player title for fans of the movies, and people that like games that are challenging and fun, but the lack of quality in the multiplayer department is a little sad. With stylized graphics and great sound, this game is a great choice to pick up at any age.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Sin Episodes is a great way to start off the episodic content experiment but, more importantly, it is a great game that is marred only by clipping errors and an invasive copy protection scheme. If Steam or the concept of episodic content does not hinder your enjoyment of a game, I would encourage all FPS fans to look into this.

    With the focus 100% on Green Day and the included extras, fans of Green Day have a no brainer decision on their hands. That being said, casual fans who want more bands and varying types of music might want to wait for Rock Band 3 given the wide range of music and artists that it will offer.
