If you're new to LEGO games, then LEGO DC Super-Villains is a good place to jump in. The quirky and humorous storyline, imaginative level design, and unusual villains as heroes spin on the super hero genre make it one of the better recent LEGO games.

A beautifully difficult heavy metal nod to 80s platforming.

In the end, if you are willing to learn how to play general, admiral, and pilot at the same time, Battlestations: Pacific needs you.

FlatOut: Head On gives you a lot of enjoyable racing for a portable game.

However, if you're already a Sam & Max fan then buying the game should be a no-brainer. If you're new to the Freelance Detective duo but enjoy slightly subversive and twisted storylines delivered with wit and thinly veiled satire, you should seriously consider introducing yourself to their world.

This is still Patapon at its best, but it doesn't measure up to the first two. Regardless, don't expect me to play much else besides this game for quite some time.

The game is best enjoyed in the same manner as it delivers its action – in short doses. As a budget title it’s not bad as a mindless alien-blasting diversion or a walk down memory lane for older gamers who grew up in the top-down view era. If you’re looking for deep immersive gameplay you won’t find it here, but it fits the bill when you’re in the mood for some quick and easy action.

The "dumbing down" of the single layer game is a big disappointment, though, and Rainbow Six fans will find this to be a huge letdown. Rainbow Six deserves better than to become yet another arcade shooter.

Somehow, Naruto Clash of the Ninja Revolution both makes good use of the license and ended up being a very enjoyable game overall. It might not be the greatest game of this year, but there is a lot to like about Naruto Clash of the Ninja Revolution.

It might have taken four Spider-Men to do it, but overall Shattered Dimensions is the web-slinging superhero's best game yet.

You can't judge a comic book by its cover. XIII looks stylish but plays bland.

Vietcong can provide some tense and enjoyable gameplay, but also serves up some very frustrating levels that will try the patience of many gamers. With a bit more polish and consistent level design Vietcong would be a really good game.

There is no doubt that MX vs. ATV: Reflex is the best MX vs. ATV game I've played yet. The new controls, track damage and add-ons to the existing formula make it the only MX vs. ATV game you'll ever need – at least until the next one comes out.

War gamers without an uncompromising bias towards turn-based play and real-time strategy fans looking for a more realistic depiction of battlefield strategy and tactics should definitely give the game a look.

The game is still very fun to play and worth the 800 points on the marketplace if you're a fan of Dead Rising, but it doesn't offer as good of an experience as Case Zero or Dead Rising 2 did.

If you’re looking for a management style game – time, financial, etc. – you won’t find it here. This is more of a game about collecting things – sushi recipes and ingredients, décor for your shop, hats for your bot, … – and interacting with a quirky cast of locals. Animal Crossing fans will certainly enjoy their time with the game, although the number of things you can do and collect here pales in comparison. Rolling Hills oozes charm, though, and even though your time in town might be relatively short, it will definitely be cozy and relaxing.

The most accessible F1 racing game to date.

A winner with at least majority decision, if not a knockout.

If you enjoy hacking a lot of monsters and are willing to put the time into the game that it demands, you'll probably have a good time with EverQuest Online Adventures.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine may not bring much originality to the third-person shooter, but what it does it does in a fun way and better than many.

While the game can be fun in short stretches and Bunnylord is deserving of further video game appearances, overall the game delivers more frustration than frills.

The Escapists just doesn't make its concept work as an enjoyable game, and most gamers are simply going to find it too tedious and too frustrating to have any fun with the game.

Has its challenging and enjoyable moments, but it has its share of problems too.

Ultimate Alliance 2 is not a bad game. It misses some opportunities to capitalize on its great story and wealth of character interactions; it didn't receive the presentation update that next gen gamers expected; and it doesn't make much effort in pushing the dungeon crawling action RPG genre forward.

Rugby 08 is enjoyable enough to warrant a rental by those curious about the sport, but only serious followers of the sport will find it holding their attention for longer.

Masters of Anima's blend of action-RPG and real-time strategy gameplay works well and makes for an enjoyable game experience. If you don't play strategy games, then you may find the battles to be pretty difficult and you could find the game to be frustrating. If you're looking for something a little different and are up to the challenge, though, you just may find yourself hooked.

In spite of the “cutesy” appearance of a Disney game that’s too hard to play for the wee set, Disney Magic is a lot of fun to play. If you enjoyed Meteos, then you’ll like this variant on the game.

Galaga fans won't recognize the game, shmup fans will find it too easy.
