Newcomers should stay far away, but hardcore RTS fans will find incredible depth.

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

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

It's the best "superhero" game ever made, but the lack of side missions and its annoying co-op bugs hold it back from greatness.

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

The shiny graphics and Get In The Ring mode are nice, but the disappointing port of a year-old game and poor use of Sixaxis controller are just plain sad.

The free-roaming gameplay, expansive environments, fun combat and commendable graphics all make for a great experience, and the fact that it comes in a superhero game is just icing on an already-great cake.

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.

The graphics are clearer and the framerate is steadier on the PlayStation 3, and the approachable gameplay is intact from the Xbox 360 version. It sure would've been fun to actually play against some real, live gamers online, though.

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.

I'm surprised and saddened that this was outdone by a two-year-old game. EA's trying some new things here, but they don't quite work yet.

When it's all said and done, this game is fun. This is truly a worthy addition to the Ninja Gaiden franchise.

Contra 4 is made for the fan in mind. It is obvious that the developers have a lot of love for the Contra series so if you're a fan then there's nothing to pick at.

In spite of its aging engine and average sound, Catacombs is probably one of, if not the best add-on packs ever been released for an MMO. With the new areas, new tasks, model upgrades and inclusion of tons of content for solo players, this is a must own for any Dark Age of Camelot player.

Even with a new developer, the game doesn't miss a beat.

Unless you're absolutely die-hard about hard rock and heavy metal, Brutal Legend is one game you can relegate to a rental.

A chaotic ride through the Marvel world. Exciting, fun and even moreso when you play with friends.

Priced at a very accessible 800 Microsoft Points anyone who enjoyed Splosion Man needs to pick this title up, and if you haven't played Splosion Man before either buy that one or just buy both, you won't be disappointed if you enjoy tough, yet rewarding titles.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is a solid game that should prove enjoyable to fans of single-player and online shooting fun. We highly recommend Ubisoft's latest outing in 2008.

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.

It gets the job done in gameplay mechanics, but the online co-op and number of playable characters save the day.

SingStar has good karaoke and non-multiplayer online functionality, but it enters a crowded field and is really just "more of the same." Sure, it's a good same, but karaoke is karaoke.

It's fun enough to hold your interest for a little while, but the repetitive play will cut that time far shorter than the game's excruciatingly long load times.

It would be hard to not recommend this title to anyone who enjoys trivia, unless of course you have a sensitive ego which needs to be coddled when you get a question wrong.

Addictive gameplay that demonstrates the power of having two thumbsticks on a handheld device. The multiplayer options are more than adequate, and although there aren't technically a lot of levels, the very nature of the game will keep you coming back time and again.

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.

Tedious gameplay kills the coolness of the "wow" moments and brings it all down to an average level.

A chaotic ride through the Marvel world. Exciting, fun and even moreso when you play with friends.
