    While the visuals are nowhere on par with the Xbox 360 or the PS3 version of the game and the shooting mechanics can leave you begging for your controller at times, shooter fans looking for a genuine Call of Duty experience on the DS should give this game a serious look.

    Overall, if you like time-trial platform puzzlers with a bit of challenge, then definitely give this one a go. It's simple in concept, hard to master, and yet casual enough that you can just dip in and out of it whenever you feel like.

    Aside from the 3D, the core gameplay mechanics have stayed the same, while we do get to see some new gameplay variants – ultimately you can't change a classic.

    One might be quick to pass a title like this off as an attempt to cash in on a popular TV show. Heck, we see it all the time. There is real value here though....The game is an extension of the show in that it provides a new way of enabling people to lose weight and this deserves praise.

    Rainbow Studios has done an impressive job of creating an immersive and enjoyable off-road racing experience. If you have any interest at all in racing games, then MX vs. ATV Reflex is definitely worth checking out.

    With easy to pick up and play controls, some pretty stylish graphics, good sound, challenging single player and an enjoyable multiplayer experience, you really can’t go wrong with it.

    A valiant first effort from MinMax, and worth at least a try. Especially considering that, like many indie devs, they're adding more content post release.

    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.

    The dark stylish action is a perfect backdrop to a rather good story and the beautiful cel-shaded look to the entire game is a refreshing and an effective way to engage any gamer.

    The only thing lacking is online play. Regardless Meteos: Disney Magic is a great update to the original Meteos.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A great addition to the Touch Generations line of games. The puzzles are a bit tougher then those found in Brain Age, which in many ways is a good thing as the game is not a rehash of the previous title.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Very involving, strays from the linear path and all the elements of a great RPG system are here; the only down side to the game becomes evident with the graphical glitches and poor sound effects.

    Hard core space simmers will be turned off by the arguably slow action, but the more "I'm the captain" trekkies might like the added options for controlling your ship.

    The lack of online play really hurts Tourist Trophy and the limitation of only four other racers on screen kicks it in the shins a little more.

    WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2011 is yet another solid game in the long running franchise.

    In closing, though nothing can compare to a real life pet, if your children have been begging for a new furry addition to the family, this game may be a good test to see how long they will stay interested in caring for their new friend.

    For those that enjoy karaoke, or those who are Queen fans and own a PS3 or PS2, SingStar Queen is most likely a no-brainer of a purchase granted you are willing the pay the retail price. That being said, the franchise has not made any significant leaps with this installment and the SingStar franchise as a whole is getting a bit stale.
    • 74 Metascore

    SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 for the PSP is a game that most action fanatics should enjoy.

    de Blob 2 has a unique look and its addictive gameplay makes it a title well worth checking out regardless of your demographic.

    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.

    If you are looking for a good RPG to sink into for a while, buy this. For RPG and Anime fans, it's not to be missed.

    Smash Hits for the Wii pays great homage to Activision’s Guitar Hero franchise.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands for the Xbox 360 is a good looking game and fans of the franchise who enjoy the Prince's high flying acrobatic moves will undoubtably enjoy this entry into the series. Unfortunately, the combat in the game is less than stellar, the camera seems to have a mind of its own at times, and there is a "been there and done that" feel to the game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The game has all the elements of a great tactical simulator with the emphasis on realism rather then fantasy, but has been mortally wounded by shoddy modeling, its graphic's limitations and all around poor execution.

    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.

    The gameplay in this title uses what the machine was developed for, innovation, and Nintendo gets huge credit for that.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    What the developers took from the storyline, setting and combat style exhibited in the graphic novels created an amazing arcade fighter and fans of this genre should take the time to play through it.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The only thing that keeps this title from top marks is the shifting camera angles and lousy action sequences.

    Fans of the LEGO series are in for another treat with LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, as they have a new and enriched world to explore with all four movies included on the disc. I loved playing this latest LEGO game and really enjoyed the straightforward approach and the simpler puzzles that kept me venturing through. The comedic tone to the game is exactly what I expected from this title and it keeps the game family friendly and available to all ages with puzzles to solve, great gags to watch, and some addictive gameplay including two player co-op.

    It takes strategic and real time strategy games to a whole new level on the Xbox 360 and it is fairly easy to learn. Sure, the single player mode is relatively short but the multiplayer action is where the fun lies.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A title that I had no idea would be so addicting. The graphics and sound are definitely basic, but it is gameplay that makes this title what it is.

    For those that enjoy karaoke, and who love the majority of '90s tunes identified above, SingStar '90s is a solid purchase especially if you haven't picked up a PS3 yet.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Overall, this is a game that does exactly what it sets out to do: Be an oldschool manshoot, but with modern elements in the mix that make it more enjoyable, and a suitably bonkers Cyberpunk plot (albeit without any real hacking... ah, well, can't have everything).
    • 73 Metascore

    Those new to the Guitar Hero experience may want to look to other versions of the game for a deeper and longer lasting experience.
    • 73 Metascore

    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.

    As a Nintendo gamer I am glad that this Nintendo system has earned itself a ‘true’ Dance Dance Revolution game, even if I was a bit disappointed with the Wii specific controls which I disable every time I turn the game back on (I am not sure why the game was designed to not save that setting).

    So is RACE Pro a Gran Turismo or Forza killer? Well no it’s not, but when you take a look at one cool hard fact, and that is the budget cost of the game, I can honestly say RACE Pro is great bang for the buck.
