Odin Sphere is the ultimate non-RPG. You will be immersed. You will be awestruck. You will be inspired to play through every stage again and again.

The gameplay is where it's at with a great, 40-mission single-player campaign and tons of multiplayer maps to unlock. Controlling Glitch is not in the least bit frustrating.

If, however, you've always wanted to make your own WarioWare mini-games – or have had the desire to create any game at all – WarioWare: D.I.Y. is an impressive package that won't let you down.

WipEout Pulse is, by far, one of the most enjoyable and addictive racing games to come along for the PSP this year. It’s a fast-paced, unforgiving and intense racing that will surely please fans of the racing game genre even with the lack of racetracks.

A dream come true for those who loved the incredible lineup of titles that made the Genesis such a great console.

It's good to see Lara back in top form and while her adventure is a bit on the short side and combat could have been handled a lot better, it's hard to say no to a pretty girl that still has what it takes to show us a really good time.

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 doesn’t strive to reinvent the franchise, and works mostly as a means of finishing off the story that began in the first game.

I really liked that you can play with both the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants; these two teams make for a great combination.

Korg DS-10 is definitely not for everyone, because of the simple fact that it is deep, rich, and does not ignore the details. There's a lot of potential here just waiting to be unlocked, that is for sure. If you're interested in music and what to put your creativity to work, give this title a go.

An excellent starting point that contains a 32-song setlist with a good variety of dance moves to perform.

The cars and tracks are all wonderfully done. The graphics are beautiful and realistic.

Even with the lower sound rating, Capitalism II commands a very high overall rating.

There’s little to complain about with Dawn of Discovery. Anyone with modicum of interest in strategy or city-building games should have a go at it; such an enjoyable experience should not be overlooked.

I love this game, and I would like to thank the developers for providing me with countless hours of gaming goodness.

A major step forward for the SingStar franchise, the PS3 version of the franchise is well-conceived and nicely handled.

FIFA 07 has got the looks, gameplay, and features of a masterpiece – and it would be such if the majority of its content hadn’t already been introduced.

City of Villains has a detailed world with rich stories, wonderful plot lines, engaging game play, and all the makings of a successful MMO.

Dead Space: Extraction is simply a must-play for any Wii owner over the age of 18 as you won’t find a more immersive, blood-chilling action adventure title anywhere else this fall.

NBA 2K10 is disappointing, to say the least.

The game has its moments, but ultimately its repetitive gameplay will see this game collecting dust after a few weeks except for those gamers demanding to unlock everything.

Quite simply, Gitaroo-Man lays the funk down on all competing musical games currently on the market with enough left over style to put a particular K9 back in the doghouse.

When you finish it's time for a ride and what a ride it is! Playstation makes you feel as if you are there taking each twist and turn with the console. This has to be almost as good as IMAX, without leaving your living room!

A good game that sparkles with player animation and modeling, and the franchise mode is a delight.

A great take on the high paced hard hitting atmosphere of the rink.

With a wonderful assortment of tunes, characters, settings and the ability to use two separate headsets or microphones for duets, you will certainly find plenty to enjoy here.

An unparalleled simulation game for a handheld machine.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 is a good buy for anyone who loves the series and demands every update, and is a must-buy for players who have enjoyed this style of golf but have yet to add a Tiger Woods game to their collection.

While it doesn’t really innovate the genre any, the story for this game really pushes the players to continue playing so they can see what happens in the end.

The game is a whole lot faster than the previous game. There is so much going on at the screen at once, it might be hard for players to keep up, but that will never be the case.

Utterly charming, downright cute and one seriously enjoyable game that players of all ages can enjoy. As far as sequels go, this one doesn’t reinvent but the new content is worth the purchase price and even more so if you missed it the first time around.

The puzzles are interesting and sometimes challenging, and the humor is spot-on. The story is a hoot, and the voice-acting is great. What more could you ask for?

2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa is the game that EA Sports should have been turning out, and it is the foundation upon which all future iterations of the franchise should be built.

Deep gameplay overlaid with challenge in a seemingly accurate playground of modern naval combat.

The problem is, the overall presentation feels immediately obsolete. The "flashy new HD graphics" are only new if you haven't already played Blitz, and the lack of Facebook connectivity feels like a step backward.

Only the monotonous music besmirches an otherwise delightful atmosphere.

An addictive game that has a good spawn rate, wonderful graphical elements and solid sound.

Control-wise the game has been nicely polished since "Know Your Role" and "Just Bring It."

The puzzles left a lot to be desired, a move that makes the game more accessible to casual gamers but leaves us hardcore gamers wanting more.

A true frag fest that is destined to become a classic among UT fans.

I think this is a very solid game that offers a long life of gameplay. It is not limited in making you play one certain way.

It is graphically very nice, has solid sound and has addicting gameplay. Much fun to be had here, with the entertainment factors far outweighing the few flaws the game has.

Nearly every aspect of this game is perfect, and despite its historic roots, becomes a 'must own,' not only for Mega Man fans, but for every PSP owner out there.

Besides being way too short for comfort, the gameplay features suspense at every turn. I also liked the simplicity of the game such as the exclusion of a cross-hair and health bar.

I am really looking forward to seeing what the developers of this game have to offer in their next game.

Your standard Madden, with a standard amount of improvements. The graphics have reached a standstill, but the new gameplay features makes this title well worth the purchase for Madden fans.

The only downside is that there isn’t as much to Gradius V as there is to some of its competition (R-Type Final, for example) in terms of variation and replay value, but the key element of Gradius V is its challenging and fun gameplay.

Certain parts need polishing, sure, including AI and level design. But anyone craving superhero action should pick this title up immediately.

Its great depth of gameplay, packaged in an approachable and fun format, elevates it to the upper echelon of tennis titles. Buy the game, not the 3D spectacle.

The best song selection yet combined with unparalleled playability and a challenge for anyone from beginner to master makes this PS2’s definitive music game. A must-have for anyone who plays video games to have fun.

A truly unique experience from start to finish, The Darkness is one of those games that will hook you in and steal your soul.

Solid tactical experience that will provide hours upon hours of a play time.

The game is really fun to play since you have the ability to change between two main characters. Another thing that really helps breakup the repetition is when you are flying up in space to purify the vampires.

While the cars don’t control realistically and motorcycles feel slightly awkward, the wonderful terrain and the entertaining racing challenges make this an Xbox 360 game racing enthusiasts will definitely enjoy.

On single-player, Blur is an average racing game with a powered-up twist. Repeating races and receiving beautiful cars that remain untouched due to the lack of customization gets old fast. The outdated rave-vibe, including the music and menus, don't do the presentation any favors either. As a multiplayer title, Blur is absolutely exhilarating.

This is a truly solid and enjoyable expansion. It can be very hard on the player, but part of the magic of the NWN series is that it requires you to think about what you are doing.

The story mode has really nice hooks in it that will keep players wanting to keep playing until they know what happens in the end.

There should be a warning on this game about it becoming habit-forming, because it certainly is that.

Lots of replayability here if you like online play.

The instruction manual is lacking and the controls can be a little confusing. But with all of the different gameplay elements, Age of Wonders is an excellent addition to anyone’s library.

Unbelievably exciting.

A great adventure game, despite having a few technical problems and being a little too easy. There's really no excuse for the sound problem, and that is why I didn't rate this game higher.

There are a number of new and unique concepts demonstrated in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs, but it's the execution -- which is nearly flawless -- that makes them stand out from the crowd.

Epitomizes the quintessence of the series while introducing hugely entertaining innovations.

There are some glitches, but the pure joy of unlocking that next hero and then trying to come up with the perfect team is reason enough to work through the game a couple of times.

THQ and Vigil Games did an outstanding job creating an intellectual property that has weight. The voice-acting is top-notch, the combat is exquisite, the replay value is high, and the world they have created is fascinating. Darksiders is a marvelous way to start out 2010.

While it might not be perfect, Need for Speed Underground is an impressive racing game, packed full of bonuses that will keep you playing for days.

But the tracks seem to be an issue this time because they just feel broken and incomplete compared to the first TrackMania. In the first game I didn’t have the sense of having to replay the tracks over as much as I did with TMS.

There’s something to be said for a game that can keep you glued to your tiny DS screens for hours on end without so much as taking a bathroom break. Incredibly addictive and fun to play, Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise is one of those games.

The result is a next generation soccer game that is enjoyable to play and more importantly, an accurate simulation of how the game is actually played by the pros.

Has enough wonderful extra and multiplayer maps to add more fuel to Ghost Recon’s highly entertaining fire.

If you have played a SOCOM game in the past, not much has changed, it's a tightly controlled game.

The PS2 games have slowly been amping up the experience with minute additions over the years, but this Xbox DDR considerably kicks it up a notch, like so much Iron Chef.

One of the best strategic turn-based RPGs out there, and its length (40 hours?) makes its value skyrocket. If you’ve always been interested in testing out the turn-based RPG market, Gladius would be a great starting point.

With six game modes, a complete Legacy mode, and most of the Division 1 teams represented, NCAA College Basketball 2k3 is the most complete college hoops experience around.

Not any different from the first game but it is, by far, the most engrossing X-Men game a fan could ever ask for.

From its alternate reality setting and realistic gun mechanics to its trading system and action horror formula, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is radioactive rareness.

There are some players who will undoubtedly love Okamiden, either because the flaws (such as backtracking) are not as familiar or because they have the capacity to overlook its myriad mistakes. I wish I could do the same.

Space Invaders Extreme 2 is a fun and solid shooter that exudes tons of old-school charm and addictive gameplay. Unfortunately, it doesn't add much new for fans of the first game, and feels pretty stagnant as a result.

The gameplay elements are great but it’s the creepy atmosphere and story that will keep you glued to your controller.

Agent 47 has a slew of new moves at his disposal this time around. Combine that with the notoriety system and accidental death feature and you have a solid experience.

Even with some shaky controls Brutal Legend is still a fun, humorous and entertaining game. Don’t disappoint the metal gods by missing it or tossing it aside only after a couple of hours. Like any good metal album it might take a couple of listens (plays) to really sink it.

Obsidian Entertainment has bolstered the series with an array of fantastic additions, including crafting and Hardcore mode, but it's hard to appreciate them in light of incessant bugs and unfulfilling quests.

When you play this game with a room of other people, and you find yourself laughing at all the gags and references to old games, you’ll be in love with this XBLA treasure.

Assault on Dark Athena is a great deal for players, as it gives those who missed out on the phenomenal Escape from Butcher Bay the chance to check it out in HD, with a host of perks. However, based solely on the strength of these perks, it’s a bit harder to recommend for those who played through Riddick’s first console game.

While it’s not a radically new direction for the series, the return to the familiar elements that made this series such a joy are back and the action-packed moments scattered throughout make this a game fans will definitely enjoy.

The gameplay could have been more challenging, and the course in the Rivals mode could have been real courses from the past, but these are small quibbles. It's a great game, as always.

With great action-RPG elements, awesome multiplayer support and a meticulous faithfulness to the comics, this is the best X-Men game ever.

Advanced strategy game fans will find Airborne Assault a true challenge and this game should not be missed.

An immensely detailed if not immensely exciting game.

With force feedback support, the sultry sign-in/sign-out voice of announcer Kate Powers, and a bunch of random, zanily funny mock commercials during the credits sequence all thrown in for free, you'll definitely end up with more than you expected if you've never played a You Don't Know Jack game.

It is incredible! I have not enjoyed a portable game this much since the Game Boy Advance's launch.

The longest racing game available for Xbox.

With a story that will have you cheering for the people’s revolution and action sequences that will have your adrenalin pumping, Freedom Fighters will hook you from the beginning to end.

The freestyle controls are excellent and the graphics are easily the best of any basketball game available for the GameCube.

Not only do Orcs beg to be slashed again and again, but the combat system is so entertaining that you won't even care about the repetition. The Two Towers is not without frustration (just wait till you get to level 10...ugh!), but it's not without fun either.

Does everything that the first one did except bigger and better!

It doesn't stray too far from the conventions of today, but there is no doubt, at least in this reviewer's opinion, that this is the best Thief game to date.

Whether you own the first game or not, if you love pinball, this is a can’t-miss release.
