    Rabbids: Alive & Kicking does exactly what it was intended to do, and that is to mix up a large batch of zany fun for you and your family to enjoy.

    This is a great Bond game, probably the best since the GoldenEye 64.

    MotionSports Adrenaline will inevitably find itself in the bargain bin a few months down the road, and you will see it...then pass it on by for that fresh copy of Bomberman: Act Zero.

    While Dead Rising 2: Off the Record does incorporate changes and additions that improve upon its predecessor, it's hard to overlook the numerous technical issues that weigh it down.

    You are playing the Grindhouse films of the 1970's, so you'll dispel any expectations, check your brain at the door, and shoot everything that moves. Simple as that.

    I was worried when Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood came out just a year after Assassin's Creed II. Fortunately, Brotherhood had enough going right for it that the yearlong development cycle didn't hurt the franchise. Though I doubt the lack of innovations in Revelations is going to damage the Assassin's Creed series, I definitely feel burned by Ubisoft on this one.

    If you are a fan, and can tolerate the inaccurate body sensing, then you'll find a lot to enjoy here. Just don't come in expecting the best dance game Kinect has to offer.

    With more modes, a great track list, and engaging (local) multiplayer, plus the nice tweaks to the voice support and the addition of the Crew Challenge, Harmonix's latest effort remains in the top spot among all Kinect titles on store shelves today.

    What else can I say about The Black Eyed Peas Experience for the Wii other than it's a huge missed opportunity?

    Minor tweaks and a top notch spit shine sets it up as the best designed Layton yet, even if it doesn't really push the series forward or outside of its comfort zone. Its charming, quirky, fun, and the puzzling will put your brain meat to the test at times.

    There's a lot to like about Super Mario 3D Land. It's easily the best 3D title that's graced the 3DS to date, and shows that there is so much potential in the handheld.

    Just Dance Kids 2 is the perfect game to introduce the dancing genre to young children. It's a fun, innocent way for kids to get off the couch and get active.

    Just as any masochist will tell you, with great pain comes great rewards. Dark Souls is the gaming equivalent, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    It's not often that a game franchise can be this good on such a consistent basis, but the Modern Warfare series continues to impress thanks in large part to its stellar story and highly-replayable multiplayer components.

    If you are looking for a decent and lengthy romp through an alternate 1950's featuring some of the most enjoyable weapons found in any shooter on the market today, this should be the game at the top of your list.

    Volition shows that you can still have a great deal of enjoyment from an arcade-style romp that relies more on giving players the tools to create a good time than it does on recreating the world we all currently live in.

    While it is lacking in certain respects, the overall package is a good time for the whole family. Kinect Sports is still the best of sports/party gaming bunch.

    Kudos to EA for once again reminding us why their FIFA franchise is the best on the market.

    If you want a fine party-style dance game that features some solid options, including some not found anywhere else, and focuses more on just shaking your body than move accuracy, then this is the game for you.

    Battlefield 3 has a near-perfect multiplayer experience. Unfortunately, it also has a sad single-player campaign with a mess of a story (even for a first-person shooter), and the co-op is just barely above adequate.

    This game is the model definition of the word "rental". You can play it for maybe an hour and get the gist of it, never to pick it up again.

    Every aspect of the game has been improved in ways that made it difficult to put the controller down.

    By no means should PowerUp Heroes be considered a game just for kids. With the Versus and Tournament modes, this game is perfect for parties, and perfect for showing off what Kinect can do.

    This is a strong piece of learning software under the guise of a game.

    Odds are, this one is destined to be overlooked by some, but if you have the slightest inkling to try a flight sim, if you like flight sims or are somewhat interested in the Ace Combat franchise, give Assault Horizon a shot.

    With a few bumps and bruises, Family Feud makes it to the other side by being a fun party game, and begs to be enjoyed by a group of people.

    If we're talking super heroes and you love Spider-Man or are looking for at least a decent super hero game, you could do a lot worse than this…but that isn't saying much for the genre.

    There is enough bang in Crysis to justify the $20 price tag, if only to see the amazing Cryengine 3 at work.

    This game is only for those who follow the F1 sport and who knows a thing or two about racing. Sorry, Mario Kart experience doesn't count.

    If you do decide to pick it up, be sure you do so with the understanding that it is a game best played in quick spurts. If you are looking for something deeper, or more addicting, this isn't the game for you.
