Soul Calibur IV is a fighter with as much a depth as players are willing to invest. We were hoping for a bit more innovation in this go-round, but at the end of the day, we can settle for more of the same good Soul Calibur gameplay.

Fable isn't always awe-inspiring, and its combat lock-on system can be frustrating, but what it introduces to the genre is fantastic. "Watching" gamers' playing tendencies and assigning experience points accordingly is ingenious, and it really makes players practice their skills.

For all the accessibility issues the original game had, Forza Horizon truly does offer something for everyone, down to the individual race options before each competition.

The box says it all, "most advanced racing sim ever created”.

That all of this fun is hampered somewhat by some noticeable bugs, which could have and should have been addressed before the game's release, is a shame. However, Champions of Norrath is still truly great, warts and all.

Deeper than your typical button masher, and it has the best Achievements list yet. The quirky save system can be a total annoyance, though.

Finally, a handheld FPS that doesn't suck. It may not break new ground, but it's still great fun.

I absolutely love this game. I can see myself playing it for at least a year. There is so much to do and see and, quite frankly, I’d feel like I was letting my party down if I bailed.

Boom Blox is the type of game Wii was designed for.

Far Cry 2 is a solid game no matter which way it is examined.

I never expected to see an arcade shooter translate so well to a console, but Ikaruga blew my mind from the first time I changed polarity.

A good addition to the stealth genre, but Garrett would much rather run and hide than to stand and fight.

The best in-game destruction ever can't make up for a few major shortcomings, but when a game is built to blow up buildings, it's hard to find much fault when it does that so well. You'll definitely overlook the shortcomings and focus on what this game does well instead.

If you're one of those people who can tolerate slowdowns, stalls and stutters when you're doing your best to flank an enemy, then maybe you will love this game. Otherwise, it's just an exercise in frustration.

All in all, the next-gen version of Prince of Persia is fun and even relaxing at times, but overall it's a little disappointing. And that statement is coming from one of the development team's biggest fans.

If you enjoy games like Catan, this game goes a little deeper and offers a lot more, but with exceptional controls that give you a fun, action-based experience without all the memorization of various control schemes.

The core game and concept are solid, but InFamous is a bit too repetitive for its own good, both in gameplay and environmental surroundings.

The BF series finally gets some decent single-player attention, and the fantastic results make us wonder why DICE didn't try it out before.

Taken too seriously the game can become frustrating and repetitive. But if you're just in it for the fun, fun is what you're going to have.

Those of you who are invested in the series will be very happy with the new features and the 15 to 20 hours of single player hack-and-slash action that this expansion offers.

Just when you think you've had your fill of the survival-horror genre, something like this comes along, which restores your faith in the genre while leaving you shaking in your boots.

All in all, Guitar Hero World Tour is a fun experience.

The gameplay may be simplistic, but the multiplayer, challenge modes and mapmaking more than make up for it.

An incredibly deep sim that hits all the right notes for hardcore racing fans.
