Skate 2 is without a doubt the best skateboarding game out on the market today and I would highly recommend picking this game.

When it is all said and done LOTR: Conquest is a good game that fans of the series will enjoy.

Mirrors Edge is an intense and intensely enjoyable experience from top to bottom that manages to capture a very interesting gameplay element and perfect it.

Crash Commando is just the game PSN needed. A crazy, addicting, and fun little game that will tide us over until the next wave of games hit the store.

Buccaneer is a fun game made by a pair of very talented designers. The graphics are top notch and some of the best I have ever seen in an independent game.

NCAA Basketball 09 has the underlying element of what could be a huge step in the right direction, but the lack of depth ends up being the games great fault.

This is a fast paced, high adrenaline experience that manages to really impress.

All in all FaceBreaker K.O Party is a decent Wii boxing game. Its definitely not up to standards with the Fight Night series, but it also doesn’t strive to be.

Call of Duty: World at War I believe will surprise gamers with how complete of an experience it is.

However the final results is an underwhelming first person shooter that lacks clear direction and character.

Resistance 2 improves on an already great title with a fun campaign and competitive multiplayer and fantastic cooperative play.

Fallout 3 is a fantastic game that was well worth the hype and the wait.

Overall FIFA 09 All-Play is a very solid FIFA game that doesn’t stretch its boundaries too far to go out of the ordinary, but makes a pretty fun game.

The best game I’ve played all year. It is an extremely fun platformer with stunning graphics not to mention the most extensive level creation tool I’ve ever seen.

There are some minor issues with this game, but if your a Guitar Hero fan ready to make the transition to the entire band experience Guitar Hero: World Tour is a fantastic option and definitely worth a look.

Bioshock is an absolutely fantastic game and one of the best of this generation first on the 360, and now just as good on the PS3.

Far Cry 2 may be the surprise game of the holiday season.

Sadly SOCOM Confrontation is a disappointment given the fact that it feels like an unfinished and rushed game. The gameplay is generally solid, but also unchanged from previous installments, but server issues have held it back from being playable for the most part.

Saints Row 2 is not without its flaws, but the game is so deep, and has so much content that any fan of the previous game or GTA games will have a lot to look forward to in Saints Row 2.

However everything seems to have been improved for this year’s game, and to me if your looking for a fun light hearted football experience you really cannot beat picking up Blitz: The League II.

NBA 2K9 comes as another solid outing for 2K Sports, its not a huge leap forward like some of us would expect.

NBA Live 09 is the real deal when it comes to a great video game basketball experience. There isn’t a new mode that takes the game over the top, or a new feature that makes it best out there, but it is the combination of a vision and the hard work to get through some rough years to get to this game which is by far the best NBA Live game I have played in a long, long time.

NBA Live 09 is the real deal when it comes to a great video game basketball experience.

Unless you are dying to check out The Life on NBA 09: The Inside you have better basketball choices this holiday season.

Game Party 2 is not a game I could ever recommend for any Wii owner and is just another horrible mini-game style arcade game that relies solely on the Wii remote to make it fun.

Wipeout HD is a budget priced game that has more than enough content for a full price, and some of the best visuals out there to date.
