    DJ Hero 2
    With its numerous additions and improvements supported by an amazing list of remixes, DJ Hero 2 isn't only an automatic buy for those who loved the first one but also a definitive must have music title for all music genre fans.

    Sky Fighter
    SkyFighter might not be deep enough for a retail release, but it works perfectly as a downloadable game. The missions are perfect in length that and suitable for either long sessions or short bursts.

    Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley
    Comic Jumper is a fitting third entry for Twisted Pixel. While the combat does mar things a bit, ushering in some frustrating moments, the humor does a great job keeping its tongue firmly placed in its cheek.

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
    This new breed of Castlevania introduces finely tuned action gameplay that isn't quite revolutionary, but still sound in its execution.

    FIFA Soccer 11
    If you were turned-off by the last few versions and the focus on arcade action, the ability to choose between simulation or arcade soccer will make you very happy.

    Uncharted Waters Online
    Certainly there are some similar games out there, but of them all I'd have to say UWO is a diamond among the rest of the common jewels.

    Hydrophobia
    This first helping of Game Feast is probably worth a sampling, just as long as you know that there are a lot of empty calories on the plate before you decide to drop your 1200 MP on it.

    FIFA Soccer 11
    Just when we thought that last year's edition was the peak of the summit, the guys at EA Canada have proven there is even more to the mountain. This year stands-out as a must own title and once again, the pressure is on the competition to try to catch up.

    Front Mission Evolved
    Long time fans might not enjoy the changes and will probably want a return to their roots but every other mech-combat fan should find some enjoyment in it.

    Swords & Soldiers
    If you missed out on this when it launched on WiiWare, or if you have the WiiWare version and want to see how it can be improved, then Swords and Soldiers on PSN is an easy buy.

    Quantum Theory
    Quantum Theory may not be as detailed, vibrant, engaging and breathtaking as one would have hoped but it does offer a certain enjoyment despite its visible flaws.

    Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
    Lara Croft is a good looking and well balanced puzzle gaming experience that breathes fresh life into the aging franchise. The negative comments were not meant to dissuade gamers from purchasing the title.

    Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
    Overall, I liked the new direction of the franchise. Don't fool yourself though, this is still Guitar Hero, through and through.

    Dead Rising 2
    It may not win tons of awards at the end of the year, but there's enough here to warrant a purchase, especially if you're into zombie games or simply craving an awesome action game.

    Darksiders
    My feelings towards Darksiders haven't changed a lot since its original release back in January and I'm not hesitating to recommend it despite its technical nitpicks. PC gamers (considering you have a powerful system) have no right to skip this one, it's worth your time and your money.

    F1 2010
    One thing is certain; Codemasters knows how to create great racing games. F1 2010 isn't perfect, but it definitely feeds my long and unsatisfied F1 craving.

    DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue
    The larger scope of Thongs of Virtue makes it a great second entry, but when comparing it to the first, the lack of improvements put it in a bad position. It's definitely still a worthy title but it would have been even better had there been more time between releases and some much needed improvements were made.

    Sid Meier's Civilization V
    Even though the changes in Civ V seem to be nominal, the impact they have on the game are massive. Most importantly, all the new adjustments continue to maintain and refine what is - in my opinion - the best turn-based franchise ever made.

    Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City
    Though it is quite the challenge throughout, when the class systems, party mechanics and questing all pull together, this becomes one RPG that is nothing short of brilliant.

    Space Invaders Infinity Gene
    If you're feeling nostalgic, yet looking for a modern shooter, Infinity Gene is a wonderful addition to your hard drive. Even without the Space Invaders pedigree, the game is a fast-paced shooter with real depth and addictive gameplay.

    Sonic Adventure
    Although It carries a great deal of nostalgia, especially for the Dreamcast, Sonic Adventure has a hard time adjusting to life on PSN and XBLA.

    Halo: Reach
    It won't court the anti-Haloites back into the fold, but it will more than satisfy the fans and will create plenty of news ones in the process. For Bungie's final stab at the Halo universe (for the foreseeable future), Reach is the swan song legacy that every developer strives for.

    Phantasy Star Portable 2
    If you're going to play alone, you will have to deal with some noticeable camera issues and hours of grinding. If you're planning on playing with friends or strangers, you'll still have to deal with the same problems, the amount of content available may make up for it.

    Plants vs. Zombies
    All I can say is that PopCap will be hard pressed to top Plants vs Zombies with any of their future releases.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    NHL Slapshot
    Just like Madden NFL 11 before it, NHL Slapshot is yet another example that great things can be accomplished on the Wii if the desire to deliver a faithful and respectful product is truly present. Of course, this won't make you buy it over NHL 11, but if you are a hockey fan and the latest games from 2K weren't what you truly wanted, this game is worth your attention.
