    The fast paced action, smooth gameplay and variety of units provide a much needed boost to the single player game play of the series. Even with some minor annoyances with the menus and on some loading screens the overall game makes up for it in spades, especially at a reasonable price tag on Steam.

    Overall, Rango for the Xbox 360 is one of the better, if not the best, movie based titles released this year. Whether it be platforming sequences, frantic third person shooter chaos, simple puzzle solving elements or stealth sequences where you are avoiding detection, Rango is an entertaining game for young and older fans of the tiny chameleon. While the lack of a cooperative mode and some wonky camera controls are disappointments, the overall Rango package is still very good and is a must buy for those who enjoyed the movie.

    Dance Paradise will be a great addition to a dance fan's library, but won't be as compelling as its competitors.

    Ys Chronicles is an excellent gaming history lesson that will grow on you, should you allow it. However, this game simply isn't made of the same stuff that Felghana and SEVEN are. It feels antiquated and old-hat, but give it a chance, and you're likely to enjoy it.

    Overall, the Dreamcast Collection is best left to the bargain bins and flea markets. While it is enjoyable to go down memory lane one last time, this Dreamcast Collection is anything but a definitive Dreamcast Collection.

    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.

    This is a title that should have done a lot better in sales, but unfortunately because of the circumstances it didn't become as popular as it should have. Critical acclaim sometimes doesn't cut it, but I sure hope with an HD upgrade and being available to download will bring this great title to some more gamers to thoroughly enjoy, if not for the first time but for nostalgia's sake.

    Bulletstorm is the equivalent of a summer time big-screen Hollywood blockbuster. Sure it is fun and features plenty of eye candy that pushes the limits of the Xbox 360's hardware, but it lacks in depth and substance.

    Killzone 3 is a definite must have for the discerning PS3 owners. With great sound, great visuals, and some very solid gameplay, only the story hurts this whole experience, but all other areas manage to carry the game, including the well implemented multiplayer modes.

    de Blob 2 has a unique look and its addictive gameplay makes it a title well worth checking out regardless of your demographic.

    Fight Night Champion for the Xbox 360 stands as the best installment of the franchise to date.

    Tracking your Brain Age from day to day and playing the game with your friends is enjoyable. This being said, some of the mini puzzler games have control and response issues. Not to mention Body and Brain Connection seems to be limited in terms of content and variety.

    As negative as I might sound about Arcana's problems, there is probably a niche group of gamers that could enjoy this game. However, it should only be considered for veterans of the genre that simply can't wait for the next Monster Hunter Portable iteration to come to the West.

    This classic RPG has finally come to North America and will keep fans of the series and newcomers happy and busy for some time as they travel the Realms of Revelation.

    If you're an adventure game fan or simply like the themes, setting, and story presented, you owe it to yourself to look into Gemini Rue!

    From the get go Kung Fu Live doesn't take itself too seriously and it pays off. A unique take on motion control for Playstation gamers allows the player to not only be actually in the game, but makes it playable without a controller in hand.

    Overall Mindjack would have been a decent launch title when the Xbox 360 first arrived; but at this stage in the console's life Mindjack is simply not 'up-to-snuff.' The bland and dreary visuals combined with poor audio and a less than thrilling single player mode suggests Mindjack is best left for the bargain bins.

    With original and stylistic visuals, solid sound, and very addicting gameplay, Stacking is an XBLA (or PSN) title that is worth anyone's time and money (about $15.00 or so).

    Aside from being a really challenging title, Hard Corps: Uprising is also beautiful and a pleasure to look at with its highly detailed graphics.

    For the price it's not bad for being a multiplayer-only title, it's just that nothing about Breach is particularly noteworthy.

    Little Big Planet 2 is a very accessible game as it can be played in small bursts and does not require a whole lot of skill or commitment. Although its campaign is rather short (one that you could probably finish in one sitting), the fact that you can make your own levels and play levels/games that others in the community have created gives it endless replay value.

    If you are a fan of spooky sci-fi horrors and previously enjoyed Dead Space, then Dead Space 2 for the PS3 should be right up your alley. This being said, it still has a "been there and done that" feeling to it.

    If you're a golf fan it is well worth a look. John Daly's presentation values aren't nearly up to par with its competition which unfortunately skews the score low. High attention to detail with regards to swing mechanics work very well with the Move controller.

    Despite many new entries into the fitness genre, EA Active remains above its competition. EA Active 2 brings a host of new exercises to the mix, great new motion accessories that are more accurate, a very welcome heart rate monitor and robust online integration. The only drawback I find is that versions on other consoles take better advantage of newer motion technologies.

    Overall, Split/Second for the PSP is a decent arcade racer for gaming on the go. Sure it has its share of issues that include some sluggish controls, rubber-band and collision detection concerns. Yet there is plenty of bang for your buck and fans of the next generation version of the game should enjoy this scaled back version.

    For those that enjoy karaoke on the PS3, or enjoy SingStar games, SingStar Dance is most likely a no-brainer so you might as well treat yourself. That being said, it will cost you some coin to get a decent library of songs and the dancing elements in the game simply stink.

    With ProtoGalaxy, what appears to be a small title actually has quite a bit of depth. Fans of arcade shooters will be very pleased.

    Marvel Pinball is proof once again that Zen Studios is, in my opinion, the king of the virtual pinball ring.

    Despite its flaws, The Oath in Felghana is the perfect game for the PSP. Enjoyable combat and dungeon crawling is its own reward.
