    Calling Army of Two a poor mans Gears of War may be unfair, but the comparison is a reality as the game falls short on so many levels.

    Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades is the second time the franchise has made it to the Nintendo DS and overall it is even better than the previous instalment.

    Ultimately I felt Disney Sing It: Family Hits should have been the first title released in the Sing It series as it is an excellent representation of Disney Magic at its best.

    I also think that the omission of a save feature also a big disappointment considering what kind of work can go into making music.

    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.

    It is a decent game with many strong points but some of you more seasoned gamers won’t have the patience for Barry and his Bee buzzing ways.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The game has all the right parts for a great action RPG title. A large amount of detail went into the collecting all of the Spectrobes and it lends greatly to the story and gameplay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Overall I can't help but recommend this game, especially for those that have not played the original on the DS/DSi.

    While Kirby Squeak Squad doesn’t really revolutionize the franchise it still does its job of adding a few new elements to the entry platformer for the younger crowd (or those young at heart).

    Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is a pretty good game that manages to stay true to the anime series.

    Shank ends up being a pretty decent game, but it didn't excite me in the end as much as I hoped it would.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Truly a multiplayer game that should be experienced by more than one person.

    WWE '12 is more polished than the previous installments in the series, right down to the graphics, music, sound effects, and the expanded gameplay options.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Overall Pain is a very addictive game that not only looks and controls well, but it also demonstrates how the Havok physics engine can be utilized for some pure gaming craziness.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    There is no doubt that Legends of WrestleMania is a really entertaining game. The over-the-top graphics, solid sound, and simple but yet engaging gameplay all manage to recreate some great WrestleManias of past.

    If you already have MarioKart then I feel like it may be a waste to purchase a game that's a poor copy of Mario's concept.

    Perhaps five years from now a greatest hits game would have been more appropriate but for now diehards may just want just pick this one up as an extended rental.

    For those of you that like "eye candy," look elsewhere. For those that like to play a space sim with simple controls and just enough reality (aside from space ships that burn forever), then Star Shatter is for you.

    • 78 Critic Score
    Bush rescue will certainly appeal to the younger generation, and the older generation will enjoy TY2's depth and overall immersive quality.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Guitar Hero: On Tour is the first time that the franchise has made it to the Nintendo DS and overall it does so with a big splash.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.

    If you are a fan of 50 Cent, and enjoy arcadish shoot em' ups, then 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand should be right up your alley.

    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.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    This game is perfect for the promising portable (GBA), but on the N64 it comes across as a haphazard attempt at putting *one more game* on the market before the system's demise.

    For those that enjoy karaoke, and own Xbox 360, Lips is a solid purchase.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Overall this definitely isn't a bad launch game for the 3DS, it is just that the lack of any multiplayer and recycled feeling does take away from what could have been.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    With decent graphics, and decent (if unintuitive) gameplay, there are many small flaws, but the only HUGE flaw here is the atrocious music.

    Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals has an enormous amount of features and content that will keep any gamer busy for quite sometime.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Overall, Red Faction: Armageddon is a game that grows on you. The more you play the more you really start to become immersed in this alien rich world where everything is destructible.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Crackdown 2 does not stray far from the formula that found success in the first game. but therein lies its biggest flaw, it does not offer enough new stuff.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you are a fan of the Silent Hill franchise then Silent Hill: Homecoming is a must buy title.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A kick ass looking shooter. Unfortunately the length of the game combined with the unlimited continues makes it a short experience.
    • Da Gameboyz
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It is a well-rounded title and a safe bet for any PC Gamer as mild amusement if nothing else.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock is a pretty good compliation of music that anyone should enjoy. With recognizable graphics, great sound, and its own set of achievements, this game really does have a lot going for it, but at the end of the day it really comes down to what content you already have on your HDD that may or may not push you to purchase this disc.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    I didn't feel that there was anything terribly new or revolutionary about the game, but it was undeniably fun to play.

    A significant leap from last versions of the franchise.
    • 70 Metascore

    • 70 Metascore

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a title that brims with great visuals, solid sound, and some very good gameplay.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    Mediocre.
    • Da Gameboyz
    • 70 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    An enjoyable point and click adventure that has a few quirks that stop it from being a great game. With a short length and linear style to it, the game really is over too quickly.
    • 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.
    • 70 Metascore

    Probably the most aggravating part of Wizards & Warriors was the exploration, which should be full of excitement, tension, and fun, but is just plain dull.

    At the end of the day, except for a few graphical drawbacks, Skate It is a solid skateboarding game for the Wii and will make an excellent game for any fan of sport.

    For those that enjoy karaoke, or those who are Abba fans and own a PS3, SingStar Abba is most likely a no-brainer of a purchase.

    • 85 Critic Score
    As with the Xbox 360 version, the PS3 version of Legends of WrestleMania is a really entertaining game. Sure, it may not be the deepest game out there but the over-the-top graphics, solid sound, and the simple gameplay all manage to recreate some great WrestleManias of past.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Although SuperNOVA 2 is an instant party in box allowing me to find a new appreciation for this type of game I can’t help but think it maybe too much of the same for DDR veterans out there.

    It is by no means finished, but I eagerly await future games from them.

    For those that enjoy karaoke, fans of the SingStar franchise, and who love the majority of the pop tunes identified above, SingStar Pop Vol. 2 is a solid purchase especially if you haven’t picked up a PS3 yet.

    • 83 Critic Score
    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.

    "Soulbringer" fails to even come close to the game that it promises. So much so that it falls well below average, well below even poor, into the pitiful category with these reviewers.

    Echelon didn’t live up to its hype, and although the graphics can keep your eyes interested, the shallow entertainment of air combat will not.

    WET is a very stylish third person shooter which does not try to take itself too seriously at any point.

    Simply put, UFC Personal Trainer stands as the best fitness game on the Xbox 360 Kinect to date. This visually solid game will get your heart pumping as you learn various MMA moves while getting in shape. This game will not only benefit those looking to build strength and drop a few pounds, but it will also serve to be a great introduction for those looking to get into the MMA sport. While there is still some room for improvement, the fact remains UFC Personal Trainer is a solid purchase for those who have been holding out for a fitness game that delivers on all cylinders.

    • 65 Critic Score
    Overall, this is a great strategy game, with a lot of flavour, and it'll only take a bit of work from the developers to make it excellent. And both the devs and the community are working on it, so we look forward to lots of fun!

    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.

    Guitar Hero: On Tour Modern Hits is the third time the franchise has made it to the Nintendo DS in less than a year and overall it is even better than the previous instalments.

    With great graphics and addictive gameplay Sega again shows why they are a leader in both the arcade and home videogame market. The only real problem here is that this game has to be played with a light gun.

    Endless fun, through brain dead shoot 'em up action, violent tortures, enjoyable puns and just plain old ridding the earth of "scum" such as drug dealers or Mafia bosses (A skill rarely achieved by many) with a dash of plain and simple brutality. Bravo!

    Some things bothered me though. Firstly is that the dance pad moved around while you were playing and this would eventually lead to missed arrows.

    Pokemon Ranger is definitely a game for pokemanicas looking for a fix until the next true chapters in the series are finally released in N. America.

    Although the control is quite innovative the overall gameplay just manages to make it over that average mark.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.

    At the end of the day Section 8 is not that bad of a game, but it is just that it isn’t a great one either.

    The Conduit has definitely opened the doors for future greatness in the first person shooter genre, but its downfalls, especially the repetitive and boring gameplay have kept it from becoming a must have title that it was projected to be.

    NHL 2K9 seems to take a step or two backwards in their endeavor to make some changes to the franchise.
    • 69 Metascore

    Definitely a pretty game to look at. Unfortunately some noticeable control issues and the distinct feel that it was rushed out door for the holiday season hamper what could have been a very rewarding experience.

    It is evident that Nintendo has made the effort to make this game more appealing towards the general public with more hip and modern music then the original.

    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.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    While I applaud the authenticity that Operation Flashpoint: Red River brings back to the FPS genre, mediocre graphics and sound, and some noticeable gameplay hitches prevent this from being a really good title. The co-op mode is definitely worth a try with friends though, and those looking for a more authentic shooter experience might really enjoy this one. Be forewarned, there is a steep learning curve to be found in this game.

    NIER is a game that will undoubtedly appeal to a handful of RPG enthusiasts because of the story being told. For others, myself included, the game is a slapdash effort that fails to make good on its promise and it ultimately ends of falling into a pit full of worn-out RPG conventions.
