    Left 4 Dead 2
    If you're one of the people who it does appeal to, get ready for a great ride and months of online play. These zombies don't quit, and you probably won't be able to either.

    LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
    Overall, it's hard to say if LEGO Indiana Jones 2 is particularly recommendable. I doubt that anyone is dying for the chance to play through Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but it is cool to get locations from the original trilogy even if they are on the short side.

    God of War Collection
    God of War and God of War II are gaming at its best and this collection is recommended to anyone who missed the games the first time around.

    Star Trek: D-A-C
    Star Trek DAC isn't great, but it isn't awful. It's fun, but only for a while.

    0-D Beat Drop
    0-D Beat Drop is more of a variant on games that you've probably played before than a unique experience
    • 94 Metascore

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
    Modern Warfare 2 is a complete package and one of those games you'll be playing for a long time to come. It's not only one of the best shooters of the year; it's one of the top shooters ever to appear on a console.

    Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans
    It's going to be tough for me to recommend AotS to anyone who isn't a die-hard Dragonball fan. Not because the game isn't good and enjoyable for fans and non-fans alike, as it is; no, I can't give this one my stamp of approval because it's 2009 and I'm flatly refusing to endorse any RPG that continues to cling to the random battle system.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Reflex Edition
    This port isn't identical to its bigger brother, but it is damn close and that is commendable.

    Dragon Age: Origins
    Dragon Age: Origins might have a few clichés here and there, but for those looking for a RPG to lose themselves in, you need not look any further. Dragon Age: Origins is a winner.

    Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier
    Overall, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier is recommendable. In spite of the camera issues and frustrating and repetitive elements of the gameplay, it has enough going for it to make the overall experience fun. I think that I would have enjoyed the game more if it was all aerial and no platform, though.

    LEGO Rock Band
    I'm sure that some people will be disappointed to find that this Rock Band release features a relatively small track list, is missing some of the features found in other Rock Band games, and doesn't support the full catalog of downloadable tracks available for Rock Band.

    C.O.P.: The Recruit
    And make no mistake – this is an impressive game from a lot of standpoints. It may have suffered a bit from the lack of hype leading up to its release and some not bad, but not exactly great gunplay, but C.O.P. is one of those games that people will still find themselves gushing about years from now.

    Dragon Age: Origins
    If games were rated on story alone Dragon Age: Origins would sit at the top of the scale, but you simply can't ignore the gameplay issues.

    Dragon Age: Origins
    The graphics are dated, the battles are like pulling teeth and while there is a lot to accomplish, none of it ever actually borders on being fun.

    Band Hero
    Overall Band Hero is a good game, as it's essentially Guitar Hero 5 with a different skin and track list.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Band Hero
    Yet another effort to make music games portable fails to make the charts.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Need for Speed: Nitro
    Need for Speed: Nitro is an arcade style racer that, while not too terribly deep, is worth a spin around the block.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis
    Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis is a fun and interesting game, but unfortunately fails in several important categories. Although it’s technically sound, it loses serious points because of the same old story about the end of the world, but especially because the puzzles that defy the most elementary logic.

    Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony
    It's still GTA IV, but there's plenty that's new and plenty that’s fun to do. This is a ballad worth listening too...

    Zombie Tycoon
    Aside from a few slipups, it provides a fun, funny take on handheld squad games, and it does it with its tongue firmly in its cheek, in the best way possible.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    DJ Hero
    DJ Hero makes you more of a mimic than a mix-master, but it's still fun to play.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
    A Crack in Time is simply fun to play. The puzzles are well-designed, the platforming fun without being frustrating, and the battles are a blast ... and it all takes place in a humorous and imaginative galaxy that's a joy to explore.

    Fairytale Fights
    The moral of this fairytale is to avoid playing this game.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Torchlight
    Some gamers may be disappointed to hear that there's no multiplayer option in the game, but there's so much fun to be had in the dark reaches under Torchlight that you won't really mind.

    Vegas Party
    Unless you want your party to be a slumber party, let Vegas Party stay in Vegas.

    Nerf N-Strike Elite
    It's hardly an 'elite' game, but it will keep the kiddies entertained for a bit.
    • 63 Metascore

    Hasbro Family Game Night 2
    Not all board games can be improved by virtualization, but there's some fun to be had in this game collection.

    Nostalgia
    Aside from the random battle system, I can't think of anything bad to say about Nostalgia. Interesting setup? Check. Good story? Check. Amazing presentation? Check. Exciting method of travel? Check. Plenty to do? Check. But none of that stuff can overcome the developer laziness and player annoyance that comes with the random battle system, which is even more grievous here because it extends to the airship travel, not just the on-foot dungeons.

    Borderlands
    One of the great things about Borderlands is that there is always plenty to do. In addition to the story missions there are always a number of other missions available, either from characters that you meet in the game or from job boards in the friendly settlements.

    Tropico 3
    So here's the deal: If you like sims and have the patience to let things run on their own for stretches of time, you'll probably enjoy Tropico. If you're a Tropico fan from the old days, expect more of the same except with prettier graphics and make your decision based on that. If you're the type of sim player that enjoys building large SimCity style metropolises, Tropico probably isn't for you as you won't be building any San Juans in the game. Lastly, for everyone else, the slow pace of the game and the time it takes to get a working economy will probably try your patience too much.
