    This collection of 13 pinball tables offers more than enough variety to justify the price that you pay for infinite credits.

    This brawler has good combat and solid content, but it lacks the refinement and razzle-dazzle to earn a title shot.

    Clumsy combat, a glut of bugs, and ancient production values tarnish this otherwise rich and complex online role-playing game.

    Majesty 2 wastes its unique premise on quests loaded with repetition.

    This enjoyable remake proves that bubble popping never goes out of style, but a few control quirks hamper the fun.

    Wet
    Though there is a certain roughness to the action, Wet is still a raucously entertaining adventure.

    This third-person action game is a great open-world adventure for anyone with an appetite for destruction.

    Everything about this game--the impressive visuals, stirring soundtrack, superb voice acting, fiendish puzzles, hard-hitting combat--feels like it has been lovingly crafted by a development team that's both knowledgeable and passionate about the source material. Miss out on this one and the joke's on you.

    Shift is neither an arcade racer nor a simulation; it's stuck somewhere between the two, and while there's plenty of good racing to be had here, it's unlikely to completely satisfy fans of either.

    Resident Evil 5 is a fun and frantic evolution of RE4's breakthrough gameplay and the series' horror themes.

    The bottom line with NHL 10 is that if you have NHL 09, you don't absolutely, positively need it. But there are enough new features and little adjustments and fixes both online and off that any self-respecting hockey fan should probably still go for it. EA Sports has once again done an absolutely tremendous job of simulating shinny.

    Heroes Over Europe offers some enjoyable arcade dogfighting, but it lacks the depth and excitement needed to keep you coming back for more.

    So while Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 may not take the series in a big and bold new direction, or benefit from the kind of refinement you would look for in a sequel, it does deliver the button-mashing, power-flinging, over-the-top action fans of the original would expect.

    It's inelegant and underdeveloped, and it represents a major step backward when compared to the original. Halfhearted dialogue, bad AI, unimaginative level design, stripped RPG elements, and all sorts of other factors make the game feel as if it were pieced together on an assembly line and quickly tossed onto store shelves.

    The staggering originality of Scribblenauts makes it a great experience and a memorable puzzle game that will have you laughing with glee while you frantically think up crazier and crazier ideas.

    NHL 2K11 is a big letdown compared to last year's great arcade hockey game.

    Both the past and the future look dreary in this bizarre and unsatisfying time-travel shooter.
