Real time strategist or not, if you are a Halo fan you owe it to yourself to play Halo Wars, it just may change the way you look at the series.

There is no question that the MLB 2K franchise is now headed in the right direction as this year’s instalment is more entertaining than years past.

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.

MLB 09: The Show continues a long run of consistently well done ball games for the PS2 but it still pales in comparison to the next-gen version.

On its own MLB 09: The Show is a great game and stands as the best baseball game on Sony's handheld machine. However, when compared to last year's version, MLB 09 feels awfully similar.

Killzone 2 is a testament to not only the PS3, but to developers Guerilla Games who have shown they can meet the expectations put forth by the gamers, who can be quite a fickle group.

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.

While 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand is an adequate shooter, it can get fairly repetitious quickly.

Blue Dragon Plus for the DS is a fairly solid real-time strategy RPG that should please most fans of the genre.

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.

Overall this game is fun, but unless you are a die hard High School Musical fan, or did not play the first Sing It!, this might not be a title you may just want to rent.

The gameplay is great, the story is interesting, and the online functionality is superb.

If you are a fan of the original game, orenjoy spooky sci-fi horror games such as Doom and Dead Space, then F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin for the Xbox 360 should be right up your alley.

It is a game that is definitely the perfect game for any gamer in the family, from the hardcore to the most casual.

At the end of the day, X Blades is not a game that I would recommend for Xbox 360 gamers. For those looking for something with sex appeal or mindless button mashing, there are much better options available elsewhere.

Overall, 3 on 3 NHL Arcade for the PlayStation Network is a perfect game for those looking for a casual, simple, quirky and enjoyable hockey game for a fraction of the cost of a regular priced EA Sports title.

Phineas and Ferb for the Nintendo DS is a great family title that uses the stylus controls really well and adapts the television series accurately.

There is no doubt that FunTown Mahjong is what it is, a virtual version of 16-tile mahjong. Where my issues lie with the game is that the tutorial is not nearly as helpful as it could have been, the graphics are somewhat average, and the gameplay itself is not nearly what I expected.

Overall, Skate 2 is an upgrade over the original instalment.

I think most gamers will fall in love with The Maw’s charm and simplistic gameplay.

While there are some great elements to multiplayer game, Conquest comes across as a somewhat rushed game that falls into the realm of pretty average.

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 may not be the most engaging game out for the Wii at this time, and there are some control issues now and then, but the amount of games within the game is pretty impressive and it can provide some great family fun.

Overall, Prince of Persia: The Fallen King for the DS is a fun little game for gaming on the go.

Prince of Persia for the Xbox 360 is a pretty game and features many enjoyable and death defying moments. However, the combat controls suffer, the story is uninspiring, and the game is far too repetitive for my liking.

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.

For those that enjoy karaoke, or those who are Abba fans and still clinging to your PS2, SingStar Abba is most likely a no-brainer of a purchase.

Overall, The Tale of Despereaux for the DS is perfect game for those younger and somewhat experienced gamers who loved the movie and own a DS.
