Created by a veteran team of designers from various development crews, Nostalgia for the DS shows that they know exactly how to squeeze the most out Nintendo’s handheld system to bring us a game that is not only fun to play, but pleasing to watch unfold too.

Consider it as a stocking stuffer for the PS2 holdouts in your life who haven’t gotten around to next gen yet.

In the end Marvel Super Hero Squad sets out to do what it is supposed to, provide a mindless beat-em-up aimed at fans of the franchise.

SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 really does stand up to the saying “It’s Your World Now”. The whole package is a dream come true for WWE fans all around the world.

EA’s FIFA 10 is by far the best soccer simulation ever released on any console. The new gameplay implementations, along with improved visuals, will make any footie fan smile.

Fans of the franchise will undoubtedly enjoy this video game version of the Bakugan card game, the rest of us however will likely pass this one up.

Backyard Football '10 is a game that is meant to be a very simple affair allowing kids to enjoy a little pigskin on dad’s Xbox 360, or their own should they be the primary owner.

If you only own a Wii and are looking for a football game for kids, then Backyard Football could very well be the game for you. Be forewarned though, with mediocre graphics and silly sound, it really doesn’t hold up when compared to any other versions on competing consoles aside from some token but fun motion controls.

With an artistic visual design and a sound package that is second to none, Brutal Legend is a game metal heads and Jack Black fans will undoubtedly want to pick up.

Every element has been finely crafted, from sound to graphics to cut-scenes to gameplay. All of this thrusts the player in to a tumultuous thrill ride that has no bounds. And as for the multiplayer, it is a well implemented feature too.

With first-gen graphics, a mixed audio package, and some broken gameplay elements, JU-ON: The Grudge is a very mixed bag indeed. Although it did offer up some spooky moments, there were just too many issues for it to overcome.

In the end, if you have the other two then this game should make a solid addition to the previous games; however before you spend full price on this game you might want to check the used games bin for one of the two other Cars games that have been released before.

I just can't recommend Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky to anyone that has played the previous games in the series. It looks like a GBA game, and is chock full of lazy and somewhat dated gameplay.

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.

The best way to describe The Biggest Loser on the DS is as a weight loss and healthy eating tool. I found more value in the calorie counter, calculator, and recipes than I did the exercise portion of the title.

Overall, this title is another great party game title that fans should consider adding to their collection.

I went into Valhalla Knights with high hopes including the optimism for a clean and smart online co-op multiplayer with a deep and engrossing storyline. Unfortunately I found a very broken and incomplete gaming experience.

Overall the transition from third to first person is smooth and the on-rails gameplay really helps to make it a mature title as it captures the visual details that Dead Space is known for.

At the end of the day though, Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road is an enjoyable game that all fans of RPG’s should take a close look at.

Halo 3: ODST is a welcome addition to the world of Halo. With an engaging story, solid visuals, amazing sound, and addictive gameplay, it is much more then the expansion that it was originally supposed to be.

After spending time with Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection, I would have to say that this is some of the best virtual pinball that I have ever played.

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

This time around the fat has been trimmed and the focus in Need for Speed: Shift is on delivering an intense, almost gritty racing experience. Shift strikes a good balance between being accessible and moving the game in a more realistic direction.

The slow gameplay and the sluggish controls make NHL 2K10 a struggle to play, and it is too easy to score as the defensive AI is lacking.

If you own multiple consoles, there is no compelling reason to own this version of NHL 2K10 unless you are looking for some sort of novelty factor; however if you are a “one console owner”, then you can do no wrong by picking up this game as you can enjoy some of the gameplay aspects that this virtual hockey game has to offer.

Overall, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is an upgrade over its processor and fans of the original will absolutely want to pick this one up.

Toy Story Mania provides a fun carnival-like experience filled with plenty of mini-games.

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