    Kung Fu Panda for the PC is my choice for the button mashing fun as Po the Panda but I am a PC gamer at heart and am quite used to the mouse and keyboard control scheme.

    If you already own the original game then dropping another $10 might be asking a bit much, but if this is your first time playing Enigmo then the iPad is certainly the best device on which to play it.

    In many ways, NHL 06 really could be considered the best console hockey game to ever hit the ice – that is, if it weren't for the handful of glaring issues that have been with the game for years and EA simply refuses to address, not the least of which is EA's poor integration of online play through Xbox Live.

    Flaws are still present, but appear less often, and the options have been upped in almost every area for a more complete package. The play feels smooth, and the game looks great.

    Anyone can enjoy Shaman King: Master of Spirits 2 because of its great presentation, controls, music, and extremely fun gameplay mechanics. If you like action games and have been looking for a portable one, don't hesitate to pick up this fun, addicting, well-rounded game.

    While definitely not for every gamer, FIFA Street 2 is a very solid entry into the realm of arcade sports and fans of the genre are sure to have a good time – once they get a handle on the control scheme, that is.

    I would much rather play an interactive novel than read one, and Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars is a huge step in making that happen.

    If you’re not a hard-core Counter-Strike player, Condition Zero is definitely worth a look. Veterans will probably want to stick with what they've already got.

    The designers have nailed the graphics and sound presentation down to perfection, but the less-than-compelling story, and simplistic puzzles will have most adventure aficionados yawning after a few hours.

    Voyage doesn’t explore new gaming territory, but it’s a solid adventure title. It also does a really good job of bringing a somewhat forgotten classic to life.

    As a children's game The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer succeeds spectacularly. It's a perfect game to plop down your child in front of without having to worry about content or frustration.

    A satisfying follow-up to those looking for more of the same. But those looking for a significant step ahead for the series will likely be disappointed.

    I still bemoan the lack of Internet play (and card trading), and the funky multiplayer modes with no pre-match setup is way to random to be fair or fun. And why can I now see my enemy when I couldn’t last year.

    Just to clarify, Real World Golf is a tool, an electronic golf instructor with a game tacked on to let you explore and perfect the various nuances to your personal golf stance and swing. If you go into this game thinking it's the next big golf title you will be sorely disappointed.

    The graphics may be hit and miss, but they are solid where it counts; in the gameplay, and the sound effects again, are merely average, but the two-player co-op mode is awesomely fun for gamers that are fans of the famed comic book series or action fans in general.

    In talking about this game and writing this review I wish I could say I was talking about all the great features it has, but instead I find myself dismissing it for what it is not. It's not FIFA 11. Top down, FIFA 11 is just the better soccer game. But if you like customization and all kinds of user created content, the possibilities are endless.

    With a bit more music, sound, and speech, this game would have shined. Even so, Lights Out is an excellent game and worth a look, especially if you don’t have enough tension in your life.

    Sure, the levels and even the gameplay get a bit repetitive at times, but there is always great action and the potential to share that action with your friends, and that is what really make this game rise above its predecessors and a total joy to play.

    The lack of any cohesive story spread thin by too many distracting viewpoints kept me from ever getting involved with the characters. It was almost like I was trapped in an episode of "Quantum Leap."

    Once you master the learning curve and are able to manipulate and organize your team of ghosts effectively Ghost Master becomes more of a chore or at best an exercise in puzzle solving.

    The simple color-matching gameplay principles will test the younger kids and the complicated puzzles and tricky control will challenge their parents. Even if you never explore beyond the initial 100 levels you are guaranteed to get your money’s worth with Mojo!

    While this new version still lacks a lot of the content available on the big consoles it still delivers quality and fun and lots of challenging golf for the gamer on the go.

    Sid Meier's Pirates! has all the makings of the being the greatest of pirate games, but a few things hold it back, mostly because of the "sameness" it projects. Plain and simple, as deep as it is, Pirates! doesn't have the epic feel of many games of this type due to its similarities throughout.

    For those who really enjoy the new items and outfits, though, and especially for players who tend to stick to Maxis-released items just to play it safe, The Sims 2: Celebration Stuff can add a lot of much-needed flavor to your Sims’ social events.

    On the bargain rack however, Harry definitely has the brass to stand out amongst on the tier-two competition – Ty, Haven, Vexx and I-Ninja.

    Diehard fans of futuristic survival war games laced with mutants and rogue bands of mercenaries and a cool twist on the economy will certainly find something to like, but only the most dedicated gamers will likely ever make their way to the end of the story let alone finish the game in its entirety.

    A serious game for serious racers with an ancillary interest in accounting and business management. Racing is just a small part of this game that happens when you aren't worrying about building up an empire of cars, earning more money or the respect of your peers.

    The combat system is totally unique but flounders in some clunky timing issues. The skill strikes are cool but few in number and lose their "wow factor" about six hours into the game.

    While not perfect in execution, once you get past the balancing issues in combat and the overly complex game world with hard to find destinations, you will find a compelling adventure and some truly brilliant concepts at work here.

    And if you are going to release a game with glitches of this magnitude at least let me save anytime and anywhere I want. Replaying a game because I want to is fun – replaying because I have to is annoying.
