One of the best space civ sims ever made.

But in the end it really is the gameplay and story that counts here, and Bioware has wonderfully combined both in such a way that any of the minor complaints can be ignored.

There is easily enough shoot em' up action to keep any shooter fan wrapped up in the gameplay. Although there is some sneaking about players who like the sneaky approach won't find too much in this game.

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.

DICE and EA have nailed it with Battlefield 2. I'm hooked, and you should be too.

The God of War Collection is really a no brainer for fans of the franchise. You can’t go wrong in picking it up and seeing all the work that been put into its HD rebirth.

Very few games offer as much as Gears of War 3 does, and even fewer manage to do it this successfully. I would say that this is easily the best Gears of War to date. Once again, Epic has successfully iterated on a series what most other developers are still desperately trying to imitate. What a fitting end to a most fantastic trilogy.

In my opinion Batman: Arkham Asylum is a landmark game based on a comic book superhero and is equivalent to what the The Dark Knight did for comic book films.

One addictive game. With a great single player experience this game gets bonus marks for a great multiplayer experience as well.

With graphics that shine and improved gameplay over the prequel this game rocks.

The graphics are superb, the sound is sharp, the campaign is engaging and the online play is great.

With awesome graphics (save the low resolution characters), original music, gameplay refined to near perfection, and all the re-playability you can handle, this adds up to the best damn fighter that Capcom has put out yet, PERIOD.

Overall, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story is an enjoyable game and an incredibly deep one at that.

Coming off a disappointing outing last year, the EA Sports FIFA franchise has bounced back in a big way. The amped up presentation, new physics engine, new tactical defending, and other new additions make for a game that is truly better than ever. There is no question FIFA Soccer 12 is the soccer (or football for you Europeans) game to own for FIFA fans and sports fans alike this year.

Plain and simple, Black and White is the most engrossing game I've seen in a while.

Once you start this one you'll have a hard time putting it down - I found myself playing longer just to see the next weapon upgrade I'd get - it's like Christmas all over again!

Nintendo has once again done this series justice and it should make any level of gamer, from casual players to veterans of the series, satisfied that they purchased this title.

About as realistic as it gets for hockey games.

The sheer amounts of gameplay modes both in single player and in wireless multiplayer make this one of the best DS releases in sometime.

All in all, Sony's MLB franchise continues to drive out home runs year after year and this year is no exception. MLB 11: The Show remains the undisputed champion of baseball games in this next-generation era. While there is still always some room for improvement, MLB 11: The Show is about as good as it gets on the PS3.

A blend of action and stealth, "Deus Ex" brings you a great package of features and excellent replayability.

I had an extreme amount of fun playing this one... The only issue I have is the sometimes-inconsistent frame rate, especially in split screen multiplayer.

Sony’s MLB franchise continues to deliver, and as it stands it remains the undisputed champion of baseball games in this in this next-generation era with the recent release of the 09’ edition.

What more can I say, this game is amazing.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is by far one of the most enjoyable games to grace the Nintendo Wii to date.

The graphics are unbelievable, the sound is fantastic and the game has so much replay value it just might be sitting in your N64 for months to come.

If you are looking for the next great racer then you should look no further then Forza Motorsport 2 at this current time.

The game is a near perfect expression of the 3D platform genre and its addictive gameplay will have you returning to it again and again.
