    Call of Duty manages to raise the bar with each game that arrives year after year and Modern Warfare 3 is no exception, except this time the franchise has made a much bigger leap than it has in years past. For starters, the online game is the deepest and richest CoD multiplayer experience to date and the Spec Ops co-operative mode is worth the price of admission alone.

    A technological masterpiece that is also a great enjoyment to play. All I have to say is run, do not walk, to your video game store and buy this work of art, for if you do not, I will send the final character from the game, Inferno, to influence your purchase decision.

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is the perfect 3DS game for those looking for a title that will last for a long time. Although it is a port of the 13 year old original, the improvements in graphics, and new gameplay features, add just enough to the original formula to make this a must have title for everyone. I for one am happy to recommend this game to all those 3DS owners out there, from those who played the game so long ago, to those who have not had a chance to experience Nintendo gaming at it finest.

    Incredible replay value, with a lengthy main storyline and dozens of sidequests and things to collect in your spare time. It seems like there's always something to get in between quests, which makes the game long-lasting and very hard to put down.

    Fifteen years has gone by and Pokemon has evolved much like many of its Pokemon counterparts, into the best Pokemon version to date. With a whole new region to explore and 150 new Pokemon to discover between the two versions and the ability to play with any other trainer in the whole world, this will be hard to beat in the future. This is by far the best Pokemon ever released.

    Portal 2 is a top notch experience throughout. Whether you're a fan of the first game, looking for a grade A title, or simply looking for an experience other than the myriad of shooters out there today which, with Portal 2, you can't go wrong here. If the story doesn't keep you coming back the cooperative multiplayer or puzzle based gameplay will. Portal 2 is another great title from Valve and definitely worth the price of admission.

    Whether you're a casual player or someone who is hardcore and looking to top the leaderboards, Forza 4's great controls, ton of game modes, and endless options make it a racing game that is very playable for all who take to the virtual road. Sure, it isn't perfect as I take exception to some of the AI tactics and how the force feedback through the Xbox 360 Wheel feels excessive and artificial. Despite the shortcomings though Forza 4 is the ultimate playground for car and driving aficionados.

    I'm very grateful that Square Enix decided to release the Director's Cut version of the game, and not the original (maybe I should thank the bugs for that?). Maybe now tri-Ace will get the respect it deserved since "Valkyrie Profile."
