WWE '13 changes up the gameplay controls and makes the overall wrestling experience more enjoyable than previous games in the series.

QTEs and button mashing for Pirate Warriors only.

The moment at which my endearingly annoying robot companion Claptrap fashioned himself a Mohawk out of some animal fur I collected he earned a spot on my all-time favorite robot list.

Forza Horizon is a good first effort at an open world racer for the series, but it's not quite top-tier in the category yet. A decent story would be a good place to start.

WWE delivers a fresh set of upgrades, an impressive campaign mode, and doubles down on shareable customizations.

Resident Evil 6 is a mix of good and bad, but the good does outweigh the bad and the game brings many welcome changes to the usual action gameplay found in past games.

If you like video games, you will absolutely love Dishonored.

A second visit to the Unova region doesn't quite hit 100 percent perfection with this series veteran.

A second visit to the Unova region doesn't quite hit 100 percent perfection with this series veteran.

NHL '13 delivers a massive update to the series that has been long awaited by fans.

F1 2012 isn't without a small amount of bugs and areas to improve on (which Codemasters may have already addressed by the time this hits the site) but whether you're a current owner of an F1 title or are looking to jump in, this year's release is an easy sell.

Torchlight II is one of those games that may not be innovative on the whole, but that just gets so many of the little things right. Sure, it's a point-and-click action-RPG in the traditional mode, but it knows how to tap into everything that makes these types of games fun to play.

Our heroes from the Trine universe are back at it again, whether they want to be or not.

If you are still mad about the way the game ended, the Leviathan DLC probably isn't for you.

Marvel vs Capcom Origins returns us to the roots of the Vs style fighting gameplay with Marvel Super Heroes and the original Marvel vs Capcom!

Dead or Alive is back for its fifth bout and this time it changes up its gameplay a bit more than past games!

Like Like so many indie games hitting the market these days, Unmechanical has found yet another way to break the platformer mold and offer up a hefty amount of puzzle solving gameplay for a small price. For the adventures in this title, you will take on the role of a small robot with a propeller and a limited range tractor beam.

It has been a long wait for another Tekken Tag Tournament game, but the wait was well worth it!

Being a fan of almost every genre this game has smashed together into one has made it highly enjoyable, and the ending had me hoping that the next installment (should they choose to make it) gets in the development queue soon.

The fun in Dogfight 1942 never really takes flight.

Almost a no-brainer if you have a lot of Rock Band 3 tracks, but the gameplay doesn't quite have that Rock Band magic.

It's been several years since we last heard from the Lee brothers, but it's good to see that they haven't lost their touch for rescuing Marion!

What blew us all away back then doesn't quite live up to today's standards, unfortunately, and the younger set will probably question why anyone would make such a big fuss over such a middle-of-the-road experience.

Hearthfire, though relatively inexpensive, isn't a DLC I can recommend for everyone. More casual Skyrim players (if those exist) may not enjoy the low-key vibe of this new content, and even the most civic-minded player might find the lack of real options in construction too limited to be much fun.

Fall of Cybertron is the best Transformers game fans have ever seen.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD is a remix of new and old and looks great with its new HD graphics, but much of the game still remains the same.

Is your old Chess board missing hand-to-hand combat? Check vs. Mate has you covered.

Still not quite up to being a real NFL sim, but a lot of fun to play nonetheless.

The Last Story is a great way for the Wii to go out.

Overall, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is about as deep as a King of Fighters game.

Far bigger than Darksiders, but not necessarily better.

Yes, Rainbow Moon is a flawed SRPG, but I know that a number a serious genre fans will absolutely fall in love.

Starhawk is one of the best multiplayer shooters that I have played mainly for its strategic build and battle gameplay. The gameplay style truly brings a lot more to the usual online multiplayer gameplay that is found in other games.

The visual artistry is second to none, the combat is tight and fun, and the world is massive, but Darksiders II isn't the game it could have been.

Action-oriented combat and interesting graphics aren't enough to overcome what is overall a rather bland experience.

Playing Lollipop Chainsaw is exactly like eating a lollipop - once you're finished with such a luscious treat, all the excitement is gone but definitely remembered.

This political machine is in need of a little tune-up.

Overall, the Avengers Chronicles pack is a very strong set of tables, not just for the super hero fan but for anyone who enjoys Pinball FX2 or Marvel Pinball. Kudos to ZEN Studios for continuing to push the boundaries of video game pinball.

Overall, Episode 2 is worth playing and I enjoyed my time with it. I did find Episode 1 to be more intense overall and better paced, but Episode 2 is certainly good enough to warrant playing it and to have you looking forward to Episode 3.

LEGO Batman 2 certainly delivers plenty of gameplay for your money.

With this HD update, the Pro Skater franchise is back on top. Check this out as soon as humanly possible.

Ferrari Racing Legends is more of a game for the true hardcore fan of Ferrari cars rather than a player looking for a good driving simulator.

A movie tie-in game better than the film it's based on.

Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection has a full summary of all the older Resident Evil titles with on-rails shooter gameplay, but you need a PS Move to get the most out of it.

Dawnguard is DLC done right.

A strategic simulation of modern naval warfare whose following is smaller than it deserves.

When it comes to fun and variety of cars in a racer, Dirt Showdown delivers well!

If you are still a PSP owner and a strategy fan, Gungnir is almost a must-buy.

JAM Live Music Arcade works better as a toy for jammers than an arcade game.

Inversion has some nice shooter gameplay but when it comes to controlling gravity, it's little world is suddenly turned upside-down.

Inversion isn't terrible - its main obstacle is how many other games on the market handle this stuff much, much better.

Doctor Who fans will get a lot out of the story and excellent voice acting and motion capture, but only gamers with a high tolerance for frustration will find the fun buried in this one.

Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown is one epic battle for those that want to fight online.

A novelty toy that will hold your interest about as long as most novelty toys do.

If you're a fan of RPGs or Capcom action games, Dragon's Dogma is definitely worth a look.

If you are a fan of Max Payne, this game must be played. The gameplay is very fun and it's easily the most cinematic Max Payne game yet. The story clocks in at about 10-12 hours of gameplay and the game has several unlockables. There are many reasons to go back and play the single player mode and the game offers many extra multiplayer modes as well. It's truly a crime to miss out on this one if you've followed the series up until now. Max Payne 3 is just as pleasing as the other games overall and has the best gameplay out of the series so far!

More of an interactive demo than a game, it will hold your attention for about the same amount of time as a short demo will.

Datura demonstrates that the surreal can be just as frustrating as the real world.

A solid tactical simulation of armored warfare 1975-1985 whose real value is in the multiplayer mode.

There's no compelling reason to "upgrade" from last year's version and the game should not be bought for Kinect play alone. However, if you haven't played a Tiger Woods game in a while and can live with the courses available at the start, it's possible for you to be quite happy with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13.

You can have some fun with it, but if you're looking for a challenging and engrossing open world game then you might be a bit disappointed.

If you just have to have another Bejeweled variant, then I suppose you might want to give the game a look, but otherwise there are better Bejeweled games out there (e.g. the Puzzle Quest games) that are more worth your while.

Traditionalist puzzle gamers should probably take a pass on Luxor Evolved, but those who enjoy the arcade classics - or their modern remixes - will probably enjoy it. However, keep in mind that it may be the kind of game that's good for a few hours of play, but not something that you'll come back to time and again when you're looking for a puzzle challenge.

Walking Dead: Episode 1 - A New Day is a great opening chapter to the game and I can't wait to see what happens in the next episode. I'm also curious to see if it delivers on its promise that the choices that I've already made will affect the way the story unfolds from here. Even if the impact of these choices is minor, I won't be too disappointed. The game weaves one hell of a story and I want to see how it turns out.

The Walking Dead: Episode 1 takes the zombie apocalypse and makes it a story about a man and a little girl trying to survive. It's well done with just a few odd things. It's not an action packed experience and that may turn some away.

Anomaly: Warzone Earth is one of those games that features a small set of simple rules and controls that give way to a surprisingly deep strategy game.

The Witcher 2 looks great, plays great, and is a role-playing adventure for the ages.

Skullgirls offers just as much as other current downloadable fighters and should not to be missed by 2-D fighting fans!

A lot of different pieces that don't work well on their own, let alone together.

An average shooter wrapped in an entertaining story.

It's a chipwreck alright...

Defenders of Ardania is a good try at combining a couple of genres but it's a bit slow and confusing.

So the bottom line is this: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is the first anime game I've played in a while that doesn't deserve the distinction of "for fans only."

If you've played these games to death, you should probably go ahead and skip this one. But if you've never spent any time blasting enemies out of the air and cleaving them in twain as Dante, go get this collection now.

Overall Gotham City Imposters is a fun and fast-playing multiplayer game with a great sense of humor. If you're looking for a multiplayer shooter that you can jump into now and again for some quick fun, it's certainly worth a spot on your Xbox 360's hard drive.

The ENTIRE single player experience can be viewed as such: Enter room, clear room of enemies, enter next room, clear enemies, enter... You get the picture. Boss battles do help to break up the monotony, but like I said before, they are crazy easy, oft repeated and often just plain stupid.

FIFA Street runs on to the court after four years with a shiny new look and enough moves to make your head spin.

Operation Raccoon City is geared more toward online play. If you play this game single player, you are not likely to enjoy it as much.

No matter your feelings on how things turn out in the end or the addition of multiplayer, Mass Effect 3 is the trilogy-capper we've been waiting for, and its an experience that can easily be recommended to nearly anyone.

All things considered, if you enjoy the sport or even if you just enjoy challenging yourself with new games that are Move compatible, I'd say this one is worth picking up.

Tower defense meets real-time strategy, with the winner to be determined a few hours from now.

SSX lands the trick of relaunching the much-loved snowboarding game series.

Grasshopper Manfacture and Suda 51 have dropped a true gem onto Xbox Live, and it's one that is well worth your time and money.

SSX is a return to the frantic trick-based games of several years ago with a modern online component. It is a heck of a ride.

Street Fighter x Tekken is a very unique blend of a 2D fighter and a 3D fighter and feels fresh in a variety of different ways.

Codemasters returns to the Formula 1 market with some updates and improvements to keep you on track.

If you haven't picked up the new Mortal Kombat yet and plan to get all of the download content with it, Komplete Edition is the version to buy.

Challenging enemy AI and a bag of cyber tricks aren't enough to make up for weak atmosphere and story.

Asura's Wrath is a definite explosive and engaging experience on the first time through but falls short when it comes to replay.

Grand Slam Tennis 2 has the makings of a great tennis game because the tennis simulation at its core is a good one. Everything else about it is rather bland, though, and the career mode that should be its showcase is poorly put together. I think that the potential for a great Grand Slam Tennis 3 is here, but 2 lands just outside the baseline.

No Mass Effect 3 player should be without this DLC.

Gangstas in Space was fun to play through and I enjoyed the fact that it was story-based and fully voiced after having played through the disappointing GenkiBowl VII. On the other hand, I still expect to get more than two hours out of pay DLC, even if there's a spaceship waiting for me in my garage after I'm done.

If you've ever enjoyed UFC, fighting games or even games in general, give this game a look. You'll thank me later.

An enjoyable combat system isn't enough to save what is otherwise a rather lackluster RPG.

Overall, Quarrel is an enjoyable game that word puzzle fans will really appreciate since such games are a rarity on XBLA. Add an extra layer of strategy from the Risk aspect of the game, and you have a great little game to play when you want to give your brain more of a workout than your reflexes.

Soulcalibur V is just as solid of a fighter as its predecessors but it hit a few bumps somewhere in that 17 year skip from the last installment.

The cost of Genkibowl VII isn't worth the quantity of gameplay you get for your money, and the quality of the gameplay isn't good enough to justify committing to a Season Pass at this point. I had a lot of fun with Saints Row: The Third, I expected more out of Professor Genki.

Perhaps 'Boringgirl' would have been a better title.
