    Pure
    The style is superb, and the gameplay flows right along with it to make Pure one of the few “must have” racing games in recent time.

    Buzz! Quiz TV
    If your even somewhat a fan of game shows or even the Buzz! franchise, Buzz! Quiz TV is a must have game this holiday season.

    RocketBowl
    All in all RocketBowl has a great idea of what a bowling game can do to appeal to someone who isn’t a big fan of the sport, but fails to use it at any level.

    TNA iMPACT!
    NA iMPACT! is a very successful first outing for Midway, its not perfect, and it may not be able to compete with WWE on its first outing, but for its first outing it does so many things right that if your a fan of wrestling games I would still recommend this game even with its short comings.

    NHL 09
    If you have sat a few years out on the franchise or even if your a regular NHL fan, NHL 09 is a game that all sports fans need to check out.
    • 69 Metascore

    NHL 2K9
    If your a big 2K hockey fan your probably still going to want to pick this up, but if your just looking for the best hockey title of the year, this one doesn’t take top billing.

    Spore
    Sure Spore may not be the perfect game but its an amazing accomplishment and one that I think everyone should really check out.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    FaceBreaker
    Its a shame to say that FaceBreaker really was a disappointment.

    Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
    The game in general though is just a whole lot of fun.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Last Guy
    The Last Guy is in no way a bad game. It is just too much of a love it or hate it title to recommend to all, and the best way to decide is to play the demo.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09
    Chances are owners of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 will probably be more then happy just hanging onto that version of the game. The additions to this year’s game aren’t such that make you want to run out and buy the game.

    Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty
    All aspects of the game are refined and improved and the change from heavy shooter to more platforming gameplay is a welcomed and refreshing change.

    Bionic Commando: Rearmed
    There is no doubt that Bionic Commando Rearmed is the best title out on XBLA to date.
    • 85 Metascore

    Madden NFL 09
    Madden 09 is a great sports game with its only major flaw being one of many sports games, and that is that it didn’t change drastically from the previous year.

    PixelJunk Eden
    At the bargain price of $9.99 there is no reason you should not pick up this game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    SIREN: Blood Curse
    Siren is a game that was an experiment of sorts in the realm of downloadable and episodic games. I would have to say on most accounts that the game failed.

    Order Up!
    If you have a Wii and are looking for a simple fun game to keep you entertained go out and rent Order Up! but for someone looking to buy this one won’t keep you busy for long.

    We Love Golf!
    Overall We Love Golf! turned out to be another middle of the road Wii title that this time actually made use of the systems controls, but forgot to put in the whole package.

    Battlefield: Bad Company
    This is really a game to check out if your a fan of the genre or series as it is by far the best Battlefield game to grace the consoles yet.

    Top Spin 3
    2K Sports has done Top Spin 3 a great service with a lot of the improvements that the game has gotten.
    • 94 Metascore

    Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
    Metal Gear Solid 4 is essentially the best game out there on the PS3, and can easily compete with any other game on any system.

    Don King Presents: Prizefighter
    But in terms of filling more then just a void in the market, Prizefighter doesn’t manage to live up to expectations.

    NASCAR 09
    NASCAR 09 had a great opportunity to really take the NASCAR franchise for EA to the next level but in my opinion it did the opposite and went in the wrong direction. NASCAR 09 isn’t a bad game it just unfortunately doesn’t have the necessary elements to really do justice to the sport of NASCAR.

    GRID
    Grid doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel but instead builds around it and attempts to improve it, and in the end succeeds in making one of the most enjoyable racing games I have played in years.

    Kung Fu Panda
    If your alright with renting the game, it might be a better idea given the games short length, otherwise this really is a pretty solid game that’s worth a look.

    Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2
    If you enjoyed the original and are wondering if this is a worthy successor my answer would be absolutely there is plenty of new content, and the online play is quite the treat.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
    The single player isn’t anything to really spend to much time with but the online play is good enough to come back to over and over again.
    • 55 Metascore

    Haze
    This is just a game that was set to have high expectations and unfortunately was unable to capitalize on these high hopes and came out with a pretty down the middle experience.

    SingStar (2008)
    However in the end if your wondering if its time to upgrade to the Playstation 3 version of Singstar, this first entry is a great start and just show’s all of the great that is to come from Singstar on the PS3 in the future.

    UEFA EURO 2008
    What it all comes down to is the fact that UEFA Euro 2008 is trying to hit a specific market, and although the market for the game may not be as big here in the United States as it is over the pond, I believe that if soccer fans give this a try they will not only enjoy this game but also give some interest into this year’s UEFA tournament.
