    LEGO City Undercover is at its heart another LEGO game, so if you've played a few in the past then you already have a pretty good idea of whether or not you'll enjoy it. I enjoyed the game, the story is fun and I like the way that it is packed with so many pop culture references it's bursting at the seams. The open world city and surrounding countryside are fun to explore and the game feels like it delivers the largest LEGO world to date. Sure, LEGO City Undercover relies on the same formula that LEGO games have been using for quite a long time, but that formula is a good one and makes for fun, light-hearted gameplay.

    A good game for the casual gamer and a great game for the comic lover.

    One of the creepiest and unsettling games to come along in a while. Play it alone at night with the lights off and enjoy the creepy ride.

    The units in the game are very detailed and unlike a lot of strategy games they look really good when the camera is zoomed in all of the way. Furthermore the game provides an excellent unit editor that really lets you customize the look of your armies.

    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.

    In spite of its flaws, Destroy All Humans would be easily recommendable if the campaign lasted longer. As it stands, you can play through the game and get all that you need out of the free roam mode with a weekend rental.

    Now, on the PS3, Metal Gear has regained some, not all, of its former glory. But weak, reused bosses, a broken online game and the gameplay to video ratio keep it from the lofty standards that Metal Gear Solid set up so many years ago.

    The player models are good with recognizable faces – although the game does tend to make every player look like they’ve spent a lot of time at the gym in the offseason.

    For a casual fan of the sport like me, it provides an enjoyable level of challenge and never feels like it is punishing me because I don't know all of the subtle nuances of the sport.

    If you like your arcade racing to be intense or prefer more concrete goals in a game beyond simply accumulating cars, you’d be better off renting Test Drive Unlimited. You’ll have enough time to marvel at what it’s accomplished, but not enough to grow bored with it.

    Strategy gaming stripped to its core and flung out among the stars.

    It has a narrow niche and it fits it well – better than any racing game I’ve ever seen. I did notice some jerkiness on my older system that just barely meets the requirements, but other than that, the game ran well.

    The inclusion of a single player (bot practice) mode is something I always appreciate because I don't have to drop into a game and have my butt handed to me for the first 46 matches while I figure out what gun I'm holding.

    If you're looking for a challenging modern platformer, you won't find it here. However, the game has plenty of charm that will attract new fans in addition to providing a comforting nostalgic experience to gamers who came up in the 90s. Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a great choice for kids, providing them with hours of frustration-free fun.

    Cold War adds some interesting new elements, but nothing stands out strongly enough on its own to make it a stand-out entry in the Call of Duty franchise. It does lay a solid foundation to build upon in the future, though, so let's see where this goes.

    More interactive movie than third-person shooter, The Thing is an enjoyable diversion loaded with atmosphere.

    Catan introduces videogamers to a classic strategy game that board gamers have enjoyed for quite some time.

    It plays a little shorter than Culture Shock and the puzzles are easier, but Situation Comedy is still chockfull of Sam and Max nutty goodness.

    If you're a more patient gamer and enjoy a more passive experience, you'll probably find The Sims fascinating. It certainly is a unique game.

    A great party toy and novelty, but not enough depth for long-term single-player gaming.

    OMDU is an enjoyable game, with a nice combination of strategy and action gameplay with enough inherent randomness to keep the maps you've played a number of times before interesting. That being said, you should be aware that progression in the game comes in terms of access new traps, trap upgrades, and trap mods, as well as gear and perks, rather than in making your way through a campaign or a large number of levels. I found it odd and a little frustrating that trap upgrade points are awarded as random drops rather than through using the traps in the game, so it can take a while to upgrade the traps in your favorite loadouts while traps that you don't really use have reached higher upgrade levels. While there is variety in terms of enemy types at different difficulty levels and the number of heroes and traps you can use, the number of maps in the game is naturally limited. Achievement chasers will be in heaven, though, as the game features over 100 achievements to unlock.

    If you’ve played the first three episodes, then by all means play Episode 4. It’s one of the better episodes in the series and will hopefully build some momentum for the series as it enters its final two episodes.

    South of the Circle tells a compelling story, and the minimalistic animated art style and excellent voice-acting make it an absorbing experience. It’s easy to recommend to anyone interested in experiencing a story with themes not usually touched on in games, but if you want a lot of gaming in your games you’ll probably want to pass on this one.

    Medal of Honor Airborne is an enjoyable game, due in large to the development team's efforts to make a game that isn't just another World War II shooter clone. It won't take the shooter world by storm, but it is certainly fun to play.

    A well-researched and designed game that's a bit of a departure from your standard war game.

    All XGRA is asking of you is to get in, hold on tight, and enjoy the ride. While it may not be the most incredible ride it is still an enjoyable one, especially for the price.

    Frustrations aside, the game's an enjoyable and pretty solid little twin-stick kill-fest. Warhammer fan or not, go out and kill some Orks.

    A story-driven journey through a war that's been overlooked by video games.
