After years of playing second fiddle in the action-adventure genre, Yakuza 3 finally makes some waves with an engaging, cinematic experience that will punch you right in the face, but in awesomely brutal fashion.

All in all, Desperate Escape is a pretty fun experience, but brings nothing new to the table. Gamers who were turned off by Resident Evil 5’s excessive use of force won’t find anything to sway them here, but action fans will love it all the same.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a high-octane thrill ride that delivers everything you could possibly want from a first-person shooter.

Not the definitive Lunar update, but the timelessness of the gameplay, story, and music wrapped up in a shiny new package make it easy to see why Lunar is widely regarded as one of the greatest RPG's of all time.

Although it may not take the crown from the likes of Major League Baseball Featuring Ken Griffey Jr., The Show flirts exceptionally close to baseball perfection.

Supreme Commander 2 is a solid step in the right direction to making the SupCom name a staple for RTS gamers.

In terms of technical presentation, Dante's Inferno is a shining example of how an action game should be done on the PSP.

It's a solid, if rather unnecessary, sequel in a venerable series. If only more franchises' "average" efforts were this much fun.

All in all Age of Zombies is a fun little throwback to the simpler days of Smash TV. Older gamers may be off put by the rather juvenile humor, but the almost hypnotic gameplay make up for it.

I find it hard to recommend this game on sound and art alone, for those are the only areas where the game succeeds

Greed Corp nobly attempts to simplify the genre, but takes it a few steps too far.

Heavy Rain is a flawed gem. The glitches are disappointing – Quantic Dream certainly knows that. But what lies beneath is so exquisite that you should make up your own mind about it.

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, may not offer the most compelling single player racing experience but does feature a good level of variety.

Bursting with modes, missions and mascots, it is easily the most polished kart racer of recent years, enhanced by Sega’s rich history and simple, fun gameplay.

All in all, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is a vast improvement over its two older DLC siblings.

Powerful execution on all fronts along with an extremely reasonable price combine to make this game a must get for all fans of puzzlers, indie games, or excellent downloadable titles.

All in all, the mission is a bit on the short side, but if you’re either a fan of Mercenaries or the original Resident Evil, odds are you will enjoy this pack for $5.

Aliens vs. Predator is a game that looks like a triple-A title, but plays like it belongs in the bargin bin.

Ace Attorney Investigations is a mystery novel with no suspense. It's indicative of an identity crisis, wherein the series started out as a murder mystery, but now caters to fans who had more fun with the inane drama.

This game is great for fans of the online title who are looking for a more focused story adventure set in a familiar world. Everyone else can easily find a more interesting alternative.

For the first time in years, the Dynasty Warriors series scores points for originality. Strikeforce is guaranteed to win over the hearts of naysayers.

If you've ever liked a text adventure in your life, I recommend Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice For All. However, I can't wholeheartedly say it's worth getting again if you already have it on the DS.

While it doesn't quite have the same penetrating, vivid experience as the original, BioShock 2 spins a thrilling tale of Sofia Lamb, "The Family," and their maniacal ideals of Utopian society. Multiplayer does have its' high points, but pales in comparison to the finely crafted single player.

Dante's Inferno is undoubtedly just another action game that doesn't stand out among its peers. While short, every minute of it is enjoyable and challenging, and it succeeds in being a quality addition to the long list of western style action games.

Blaster Master Overdrive could have been a great trip down memory lane, but instead the road is blocked by sluggish, physically painful controls and an extremely high level of difficulty that makes the experience a dreadful one.

Call of Pripyat is not only a return to form for the series, but a breath of fresh air for an increasingly stale genre. Recommended for fans of the previous games and newcomers alike, this is how a real PC FPS should work.

While one or two of the many elements of White Knight Chronicles might provide some enjoyment, the overall experience stands as one of the most disappointing RPGs in years.

Anyone looking for a solid, yet not particularly original, shooter should feel pretty satisfied with their purchase.
