A new character brings new and compelling gameplay elements, but the repetition gets a bit tired, even if it is a Capcom calling card.

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.

Is Killzone 3 deep enough to snipe PSN players from the COD: Black Ops fold? Probably not. Is Killzone 3 outstanding enough to warrant single-player awards for its narrative? Nope. But let there be no doubt that when it comes to intense gameplay that gives not one spare second for players to catch their breath or laze their way into a routine, Killzone 3 is near the top of the pack. The fact that it's the best-looking game we've seen and happens to support full stereoscopic 3D is just icing on the cake.

Still the best NBA game you can play, without question. However, the lack of new features may prevent it from being a slam dunk worthy of your $60.

The silky smooth combat combined with the classic twists on the fatalities in the game, of which there are at least two per character not including stage specific ones, and naturally some hidden things that I don't want to spoil here.

The developer sought to bring freedom to the racing genre, both with the overall structure and the ability to drive almost any car immediately, and they nailed that goal from the opening moments. Yet for all the hard work that was clearly put into realizing an open world, enough issues (re)surface that they undo much of the studio's hard work. Cars don't really handle differently, they just drive faster.

Units flow well and are easy to differentiate from one culture to another, but there’s something that keeps the quality a little below what most gamers are accustomed to with the more recent RTS titles, especially where character details are concerned.

Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends is an atypical real-time strategy game that manages to draw attention with its unique style, but ultimately plays like any other game in the genre.

Not a bad game, but also not a great one that misses the mark on a few levels, most notably the dialog for this gamer. I am sure there's a target market out there who eats this type of language up, and will be mimicking what they hear for a while, but sadly I am not this market.

An excellent mix of single and multiplayer options, and online gameplay that will force DS developers to try real hard to beat it.

Fans of aircraft combat titles should really enjoy Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. It's got a good storyline, top-notch presentation and a great gameplay engine. Fast action, furious combat and flying fun make this a game you shouldn't miss.

More great pinball from Zen Studios. If you're not getting the feel of one table, move to a different for a short time then come back. You may just find some new appreciation for a previously disliked table.

Really, Borderlands is like crack. But these 16 hour marathons have to stop. I have laundry and other things to attend to.

Multiple single player difficulty modes and tons of multiplayer options ensure you'll get your $30 worth.

Simply put, NIS America's latest tactical role-playing game is a must-have for genre fans, but a little too extreme for the common gamer.

Great graphics, tight controls, plenty of fighters and a great online community make for a game with great lasting appeal.

It's worth mentioning that even though the game can (and should) be played with Kinect the option is there to play this title with the standard controller. In this mode it definitely feels like a follow up to Rez. But quite honestly after putting down the joystick and playing, it was extremely tough to go back to the 'old style' of control.

Ingenious, but a little gameplay short of "must have."

Wrestling fans now have a near-perfect simulation of their sport.

The perfect pinball table. Everything is the same as it should be, but the newness in the table is so addictive, I can't stop playing it.

A solid outing, but not quite the excellent experience one would expect from a Sly Cooper game.

A mostly realistic boxing simulator that's just a few sparring matches short of the title.

The graphics, audio and customization are excellent, and although the World Tour mode is unoriginal, it's also unabashedly fun.

A high degree of patience is required to battle the PixelJunk Monsters, a bit more so than the developers should have allowed. Otherwise, PixelJunk Monsters is a solid, albeit safe entry in the timeless "tower defense" genre.

The sticker slap is my favorite new addition. The trick takes the place of the wallplant and enables the skater to turn a wall into a pitstop on the way to a huge combo. Leaping out of a grind into a sticker slap will send a skater right back to the rail, where he (or she) can retrace the path that already produced a good line.

Definitely more inviting to non-rallycross fans, and the graphics and modes are certainly a boost. Unfortunately, the online mode is a letdown, as are the framerate issues.

This is Fable on the PC, but the lost chapters remain lost. I was only able to find bits and pieces of new pages strung about. Still, the game was good on Xbox and they’ve made it good on PC too.
