Pandemic did everything they were supposed to do with a sequel, and Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers is a great game and a great follow-up to the original.

Space Rangers 2 combines an eclectic mix of commerce, action, and RTS-elements, along with a strong visual presence. With that being said, it may falter because it tries to do too many things, instead of one aspect really well.

As long as you don’t go into this thinking it’s a flight-sim you won’t be disappointed. Blazing Angels controls and plays great, offering some intense arcade thrills and looks fantastic while doing it. The campaign missions serve as a great tutorial for the countless hours you will likely be spending online with this game.

Nice for beginners, but veterans should probably pass on this one.

Astropop is a charming and colorful puzzle game that mixes things up with some anime-style storytelling and even some space shooter action elements to create an original and engaging gameplay experience that will delight young and old alike for months to come.

Unfortunately this game is better suited for the PSP with its widescreen more so than the DS, where it feels crunched.

Battles can be short and sweet, easy for the pick-up-and-play nature of the system, or you can settle in for countless addictive hours of combat.

I've seen better 2D games written for free by teenagers in Flash on Newgrounds.

There is no denying that EA has made good on the Godfather license and created an inspired game that should give the boys at Rockstar a few good ideas for their next GTA.

I would not recommend this game even if you are a very die hard adventure fan as it is does not follow any kind of logical path for solving a mystery nor tells a very good story.

Suikoden V is damn good. The story is one of the very best in all of gaming, even surpassing some of the previous Suikoden titles in its intricacy and brilliance with its complex, realistic characters and motives, and a plot that draws you in like a good book.

Combine addictive gameplay with fun, colorful graphics and a wacky soundtrack and you have a recipe for a good time – even if it has all been done before.

The potential is here – the game just needs to cook for a few more hours before it’s ready for consumption.

Country music might not float my boat, but I have to imagine that most country fans will really enjoy Karaoke Revolution Country.

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.

It overuses the air-spells (where you manually cast your own), but manages to maintain an interesting story, decent gameplay, sound, and graphics.

Comfortable in its tried-and-true play style, it changes little from its predecessors. Basically, it is a way to breathe new life into an old (though still popular) franchise, and a way for addicts of the originals to take their drug of choice with them on the road.

There is no denying that EA has made good on the Godfather license and created an inspired game that should give the boys at Rockstar a few good ideas for their next GTA.

With its immersive environment, stunningly beautiful graphics, nonlinear gameplay, and extremely customizable player experience, this game accomplishes more than I have expected in a game and is simply difficult to put down.

One of the ultimate RPG’s of our lifetime. It is an experience you won’t soon forget and possibly one that might never end.

If you enjoy mystery-solving games, or if you like the CSI series, or if you played the other games and enjoyed them, you’ll really enjoy this latest version.

Daxter continues to prove that the PSP is the best handheld system out there and the closest thing you can get to a home console experience. I’d certainly stack this game up against anything in the genre on the PS2.

The new camera basically makes Snake Eater a whole new experience, and for those looking to explore Snake’s 8-bit history, you’ll lose yourself for days in the original two Metal Gear games as they make their North American debut.

A significant step in the right direction and almost enough to make me forget about the wasted hours I spend on "Driver 3."

Scrat is one of the most endearing characters in animated films and it's high time he got to showcase his talents in his own adventure.

Critical Hour, despite being the latest game in the series, takes several severe steps backwards in both graphics and audio technology, and the unpredictable enemy AI and target assist put this game more in the action genre than the tactical one.

But even so, there is a solid core gaming premise here and one that I hope is polished and refined in a future sequel. Until that day, your military service might better be served in any of the other battlefield-style games.

Definitely an advancement over the original release – not so much an improvement, mind you, just a bit more quantity at the same quality.
