There are definitely some truly scary moments in Penumbra: Black Plague, and the story is good enough to make you want to find out how everything all turns out at the end. Don't clear your calendar to play it, but if your gaming slate is clear, and you're in the mood for a bit of horror, consider giving it a try.

There is nothing new here in gameplay, but you’ll probably enjoy the new missions.

The biggest flaw for MotoGP 07 is that despite how well the control scheme works and how rewarding the gameplay can be the game simply doesn't bring much to the table in terms of progression of the series.

Cladun gives you more for your $20 than many games give you for $60 and does so in such an endearing fashion that you won't want to put it down. It absolutely should not be missed.

There are still things to work on for next year, including better control and the play by play, but this game will definitely keep me busy until next year’s game.

While it does lack some of the polish of Nintendo's best, Sonic Colors is very, very good and offers enough truly unique features to sit at the table and hold its own. Welcome back, Sonic – we've missed you.

The improvements are marginal at best (which may be a tribute to just how well FCI was executed on the Xbox) and the game is really not offering anything new in gameplay.

Granted, I fell asleep playing it.

Taken in the recommended small doses, there's tons of play value in this 800 MS point title. Fans of classic shooters shouldn't pass up this opportunity to play one of the looniest and best examples of the genre.

Dissidia 2 is the marriage of a fighting game with a ridiculously detailed RPG. So unless you're looking for a shooter or a racing game, this may very well be the last PSP game you ever need.

For about ten bucks, which is likely six to seven times less than a boxed Greed Corp board game would cost at retail, the game gives players a lot of value.

From start to finish, the single player campaign of Bound in Blood definitely provides one of the most memorable FPS gaming experiences of the year.

The music was sub-par, and the menus seemed too cumbersome.

The game certainly has its moments and is by no means a lost cause, but in the end the game is only strongly recommended for World War II shooter completists and long standing fans of the Medal of Honor series.

Its slower, more thoughtful play style coupled with the ability to save mid-battle makes it a perfect game for on-the-go playing.

The first 2 hours are some of the most boring hours you will ever play in a video game.

MySims Agents had the potential to be nothing more than a bland, forgettable adventure game. But thanks to its great sense of humor and charming quirkiness, it's able to rise above mediocrity.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon turned out to be quite a nice surprise considering that I didn't have very high expectations for it and it wasn't exactly on my radar this jam-packed Fall release season.

Tabula Rasa has some flaws, but ultimately the deep and engaging combat is what makes the title shine.

I defy any gamer with even a modicum of affection for Star Wars or LEGO to play this game and not have a good time with a big grin on his face.

Overall, Ransom of the Seven Ships is a solid adventure, clever and entertaining.

For those that stick around, however, Mount & Blade Warband remains every bit the gem of a game that its predecessor was; more so, actually.

The Behemoth has to be commended for bringing gamers a really nice shooter with a fantastic look and feel. In these days of development teams with a cast of dozens, it is nice to see a small group of passionate individuals produce a game that is clearly a labor of love.

The game sets out with a gorgeous anime/Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic that is as beautiful as it is fully realized.

If the Star Wars license had been better exploited to create a truly unique gaming experience and the game had just a little more programming polish, Republic Commando could easily have been a top-rated game.

It gets a bit repetitive after the halfway point, and then it ends quickly after that. There's no real replay value to it once you have amassed everything.

Get your ass to Mars.
