    Saints Row: The Third is a love letter to gamers who enjoy crazy, over-the-top, and downright absurd action.

    MotoGP 10/11 has a few problems such as touchy controls and a lack of multiplayer options, but the challenging races and deep career mode will leave motorcycle racing fans happy.

    Despite flaws, UFC 09 is a fine fighting game that has carved out its own place in the genre with a mixed martial arts control system that is almost as well-rounded as the modern day warriors it emulates.

    Disney Universe will give parents and kids alike a fun and enjoyable experience. Without the little ones, however, there's not much to be excited about.

    De Blob 2 can feel a bit simplistic at times, but it's still an incredibly rewarding and fun game with a great style. I just wish it were a little more complicated.

    More Stone Cold than Easy Rider, and filled with enough pseudo-biker machismo to prove it, TLAD can't escape the vice-like grasp of GTAIV's juvenile form. TLAD consists of minor tweaks, but it's all essentially just more.

    Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together is an excellent game, bringing turn-based strategy RPGs back to the forefront where they belong. RPG and strategy fans alike will be hooked on this for days.

    New Vegas is everything its predecessor was and arguably more, but only if you can put up with a slew of nasty errors.

    Technical limitations aside, Valkyria Chronicles II makes a fantastic transition from console to portable. Don't let this one pass you by, it's one of the better PSP games out there.

    Greed Corp does what's important for a small turn-based strategy game: keep it simple, allow for depth.

    A solid game. Nothing groundbreaking or extremely impressive, but very fun and entertaining.

    Certainly not the best Metroid game, but definitely a great game in it's own right.

    R.U.S.E. is a fresh, fun, and fast new take on the strategy genre. The board-game philosophy combined with a competitive feel makes for a game that feels different, but still makes sure that RTS junkies will find it familiar.

    It's the charm and pacing of this title that keeps you engaged, excited and almost constantly fighting.

    Stir up a fast-paced, strategic battle system, some awe-inspiring sounds and visuals, and a unique story told through a frustratingly linear adventure, and you get Final Fantasy 13.

    De Blob 2 is a lot of fun to play, but its ease makes it a bit dull at times. It's too easy, but that also makes it a colorful, relaxing experience that you will likely want to see through to the end.

    It's not the most innovative puzzle game and it may not control that well, but there is something utterly irresistible about Exit that keeps you coming back for more.

    Mafia II is certainly an enigma among mob drama games, eliciting both an intense satisfaction with story and place while accruing simultaneous disappointment at the limitation of its focus.

    Now that you can play your Hot Shots on the go and against friends worldwide there's no questioning it: Open Tee 2 is a must-own for any Hot Shots fans, and anyone looking for a good multiplayer PSP game.

    Nintendogs will not appeal to everyone because it is not an action game, in the true sense of the term, but it does have "action" in the form of interacting with your pet by taking care of it. The touch screen system of the DS allows you to pet your dog and teach it tricks. The onboard mic allows you to interact with your pet through voice commands.

    GWEN adds more of the same -- unlike Factions and Nightfall, which introduced new gameplay mechanics like the NPC heroes, the only new mechanic is the Hall of Monuments. And that doesn't even impact gameplay in any way.

    With the various missions, archetypes, street-fighting, and PVP, the gameplay is very lengthy and can go as long as the player chooses to go.
    • 76 Metascore

    Makes players feel like they're playing baseball, rather than watching a telecast or playing a videogame. Falls short of competitor in visuals and overall depth, but gets the most important aspects of core gameplay and immersion just right.
