    Any way you slice it, three games of this caliber all bundled together on one disc are definitely worth the price of entry.

    Lego Pirates of the Caribbean can be fun, so long as you don't get bored of doing the same things over and over again. The humor of the LEGO series remains, however, so there will be laughs along the way.

    Mortal Kombat is BACK. Remember how you felt when you walked through the arcade and saw MK for the first time? That feeling will come shooting back as soon as you put the disc in. FIGHT!

    The levels are a spectacle, and give Apocalypse the adrenaline shot it needs to stay afloat, but it fails to rise above other, more innovative titles by relying too heavily on its boost mechanic and doing little else.

    It's exciting to see a downloadable game with this much ambition, but if the kitchen sink approach can't do justice to the faucet and the bowl simultaneously, then omit both.

    It's hard to overstate my satisfaction. Play Portal 2 as soon as you can.

    I have a feeling that I would love Shift 2 as I loved Gran Turismo 5 if it was a little more welcoming to series newbies. The high learning curve and stiff controls, however, are anything but welcoming, and it hurts the overall experience.

    Red Faction: Battlegrounds isn't terrible, but it's hard to understand why this is a Red Faction game at all. What you're left with is a mediocre dual-stick shooter that is severely lacking in content and becomes repetitive quickly.

    The MARS board is just as fun as the other boards available, which is the main problem. It doesn't nothing particularly exemplary or amazing. It's just more for Pinball FX2 lovers to snatch up. Newcomers should check out the MARVEL boards.

    A fun if slightly dated entry into the PSP's already crowded SRPG collection, Phantom Brave: The Hermuda Triangle will prove enjoyable for fans of the genre and frustrating to all others.

    Fighting fans who picked up a 3DS would be foolish not to make Super Street Fighter IV 3D part of their collection. It's a very faithful representation of the franchise, available anywhere you want to play it. Don't miss it.

    Die-hard fans might enjoy it, but everyone else should wait for a more complete iteration to go bananas over.

    Crysis 2 does little to create new material in the genre, though it cobbles together disparate gameplay elements that do create a level of interest that another modern Middle East liberation sim can't.

    MLB 11: The Show does a solid job of delivering a satisfying portable experience for baseball fans. Unfortunately, the decision to omit online multiplayer, and a lack of progress from last year's entry hold it back from being an easy recommendation.

    Baseball fans are obsessed with details and the development team behind MLB 11: The Show knows this. No complaint can be made about a lack of depth. Oh, and it's a lot of fun, too!

    Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy does everything a sequel is supposed to do: build on the original system while adding features to keep things fresh. Solid gameplay, great aesthetics, and a improved story mode make this a very enjoyable game.

    While not as deep or replayable as SmackDown! vs. RAW, it carves its own niche into the WWE videogame universe. Any wrestling fan will enjoy it.

    It's quick, painless and will leaving you wanting more. Perhaps it doesn't bear the weight other RPGs do, but it carries its own and smoothly enters players into its world. Overall, it may not challenge, but it does please.

    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.

    Ignoring the distraction of sophomoric dialogue and the game's less-than-enjoyable combat, there is value in this journey for the right sort of player, thanks to an interesting, well-paced plot and strong character development.
