With a healthy dose of game modes and songs, you can't go wrong with a game that encourages dancing and singing, and just having a great time with a group of people. Play this one loud, karaoke fans.

Sabre Wulf isn’t quite perfect, but thanks to its originality, great characters and platforming action, you’ll find that it just doesn’t get any better than this.

For what RIFT tries to do, it does very well. I rarely felt bored with all the random events and rifts constantly breaking up the monotony of questing. It's also important to give Trion a tremendous amount of credit for releasing such a "complete" MMO.

You will not believe how exciting this game is. Burnout features the kind of on-the-edge-of-your-seat action that made movies like "Speed" a success.

The b-ball gameplay is great – stellar controls, smooth frame rate, and an impressive array of animations. NBA 08's pinball and Arkanoid-style mini-games are tons of fun, and the rest are entertaining diversions that encourage players to return.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is one of the finest games of 2010. It has wit. It has flavor. Most importantly, it has style.

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.

Hitman: Blood Money for Xbox might not be a revolutionary step into new territory but it's still a wickedly enjoyable romp that is sure to please longtime fans of the series.

Dead Space is a fairly linear affair that will take most gamers a little over ten hours to complete. However, it is one hell of a ride.

The game is about variety, in a fantasy setting, and everything experienced embraces the game and seems geared to make the game player feel at home. Free Realms is an enjoyable adventure.

Some of the finishes are amazing to watch.

In today’s world, a lot of gamers are looking for high-def graphics. As King of Fighters lacks that, it makes up for it in gameplay and sound, presenting a fighting experience that you won’t soon forget.

It does a good job of capturing the style of the movie while transporting the main character to a new place with new companions. While you don't need to have seen the movie to play this game I’m sure it will enhance your experience.

Rock Band Unplugged is a great addition to the Rock Band series, offering a refreshing rhythm game mechanic that feels very comfortable on the PSP. Even though the game lacks multiplayer, the DLC feature should help give this game some legs in the future.

My biggest gripe is why am I paying 25 bucks or so for an expansion for a game that was just released about 6 months ago AND that I pay a monthly fee for that was promised to have weapons and things added anyway.

Exciting and unrelenting, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is a grand reworking of the series’ most prominent worlds.

It is evident that the designers, Related Designs, put their heart into this game, along with a lot of money. The result is very satisfying and there is a lot of bang for your buck.

A non-traditional RPG that comes out feeling traditional. The exploration, pre-enemy encounter elements give the game an instant hook to newcomers.

The interface seemed a little more complicated than it needed to be. For example, selling an item, buying an item and then inventorying your new item was far too more complicated.

More of a stealth game than anything else, Hitman: Blood Money serves up a familiar taste of assassin gameplay with new features to spice it up.

The Show is THE baseball game to get. It's got the best batting and pitching controls, the most entertaining mini-games, and the most replay value.

The controls are one of the best I have ever seen on an iPhone game; it is so simple and comfortable to use with having a control stick appear anywhere on the screen wherever you place your finger.

Although it hardly branches out into an altogether new baseball experience, this game is a real blast to play.

Call of Duty: World at War is a solid entry to the franchise, offering some pretty intense gameplay and nice new online features. However, the return to WWII means that it feels like a game you’ve played before.

The game has a good feel to it, and while you do use an awful lot of moves in the game (more as you advance) you will eventually find a nice groove and be able to get things done. The targeting for the guns does stink, though.

Days of Ruin is strategy game bliss. Its super addictive and exhilarating combat make it one of the hardest games to put down. You will hate it every time you have to stop.

The majority of quests and locations are familiar, and stepping into Azeroth for the first time is sure to be mildly overwhelming. Cataclysm is an expansion for the veterans, and an amazing one at that.

An impressive game with beautiful environments, excellent platforming, and superb puzzles.

LostWinds is a gem that shouldn't get lost in the current glut of Wii titles.

Spider-man: Web of Shadows is a great super hero game for the Xbox 360, and one of the best Spider-man games to date. Players looking for a new game to quench their super hero fix will not be disappointed.

Some of the controls are a bit unorthodox and admittedly they take a bit of getting used to. Though once you get them down, you'll never want to play any other way.

Yes, different. Not better, not worse, but different.

Astro Boy will surprise you with its challenge, its endurance, and its clever (and crazy) boss battles. The dash-to-survive gameplay is very unique.

The best F1 racing game to date. It incorporates incredible graphical elements, intense racing action and awesome sound for high-speed thrills and chills.

No other frustrating game has given me so much enjoyment. In terms of frustration without being cheap, Metal Slug 3's closest competitor is an ancient PSone game called Einhander.

The Sims 2 is, by far, the best console version of a PC great.

While some missions are by the number, you will find yourself enjoying the action and supernatural twist that will keep you playing to the very end and well into the night thanks to the online multiplayer. This is definitely a Must Have for any FPS fan.

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.

Were it not for the rocky translation and major bugs, I would’ve rated MGS: Substance a whole point higher. Unfortunately, these problems couldn’t be overlooked and cost the game some footing.

Despite my grumbling about the artificial intelligence,...what I enjoy about System Shock 2 is the high degree of freedom you have in deciding what directions to develop your character.

The list of must-have Wii games with appeal for both the casual and core player is exceedingly short. To make the cut, a game must be immediately approachable and easy to understand, but it must also offer challenge and depth to those who seek them. Boom Blox Bash Party is atop that list.

The levels are simple, but there is enough challenge to keep you interested, though older gamers may finish it too easily.

Although a relatively easy game, Culture shock leaves you craving to play the next episode. Lets just hope that the villain of Episode 2: Situation: Comedy is more up to par with bad guy standards.

It is also extremely demanding on your PC, and will downright frustrate a laptop user for the constant processor usage and potential heat issues. Otherwise, it is a lush game with extras (look at the Fun Area-- made mostly for kids) that keep it fresh.

This game sparkles because of the Offensive Cover System and animations, otherwise it is a straightforward shooter that sets up with some pretty simple and standard missions.

Perfect Dark isn’t a huge overhaul like other remakes on XBLA, but is still a solid and engaging title. FPS fans who missed out on the original would do well to check out this groundbreaking title, and hardcore fans should experience the game with the technical improvements.

It is tailored to you - based on your input and actual play. Of course you can play above your actual ranking if you wish, but if you let it operate honestly, it will keep you at a comfortable level with subtle, incremental challenge as you progress. It really, really thinks.

Fun, but lacks the intensity of the first game. The intensity was lessened with the sequel, perhaps due to the fact that it was a sequel and I had already experienced that kind of horror once. Silent Hill 3 uses the same scare tactics as the first two games, so unless you're a newcomer, you probably won't be too horrified.

While it’s impossible to display all of the innovative features of the console version, Splinter Cell for the GBA is still able to capture all the intensity and thrilling action.

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.

This chapter is the best so far of Episode Two. It does a great job of bridging the gap between the first several episodes, and the subsequent second half. The setup is wonderful.

Does provide quite a pop! in fun factor, a zoom! in the adrenaline sector, and lands with a pow! in the winner's department.

Believe it or not, the water in DoA3 is more realistic than the water in "Wave Race: Blue Storm."

From the quick-step jumper to the slicing 3-point shooting, the game had a lot of replay value.

Small screens aside, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep is an amazing title that every KH fan must play.

Another great "upgrade," Guitar Hero: Metallica is a must-own for fans of the band.

The best episode so far.

One of the best and most time-consuming iPad games out there.

While the PC version sports weaker textures and graphics than the console versions (as well as some gamepad issues), Wakeboarding Unleashed still is a pretty good translation of a great extreme sports game.

The gameplay isn’t perfect, as the bits of story elements aren’t terribly well-developed and the bot AI in the single player campaign is spotty, but the game still does a fine job of being a compelling and frantic online shooter.

The new putting system and the US Open add some great new challenges for fans of the series, giving them plenty of reason to invest.

The game shines in letting you take your agent from meager rookie to rooftop jumping superhero in a painless and easy manner. You’re not pressured into building up your character just because you can’t access certain parts of the game.

If you’re buying the game for its single player campaign, you’re making a big mistake. Battlefront falls apart when it comes to the single player game but doesn’t fail in bringing the online multiplayer action we’ve been dying for ever LucasArts started designing Star Wars games.

Need for Speed ProStreet grasped a hold of me and has yet to let go. The game is engaging, competitive, and challenging. Each car is suitable for the game, and every time I unlock a new one, I feel a desperate need to test it out.

Halo: Reach is 2010's multiplayer title of the year.

Improved running controls and shorter load times, taking better advantage of the PSP’s hardware. The game still has a few technical flaws, but all in all, this is the best football experience you can get on the PSP.

F.E.A.R. 2 is a great game that offers an intense single-player experience and a solid multiplayer experience. While the single-player mode might be somewhat linear and maybe a little too short the overall experience is still top notch.

It brings back fond memories of a genre that is going through a renaissance on the Xbox Live Arcade and indie scene with darlings such as Braid, 'Splosion Man, A Boy and His Blob, Limbo, LittleBigPlanet and many others. With that said, Super Meat Boy is among the best in the genre in recent memory.

Where it separates itself from the real game is that it allows you to duel the characters from the show with surprising accuracy, you don’t have the problems of picking up or keeping track of your cards and it allows players to play with cards they either can’t afford or haven’t come across yet. A huge bonus.

If you enjoyed the first game then this should be the game for you, especially if you are a hardcore strategy game fan.

Quite simply the best handheld baseball game you’ll own on the PSP. Think of this more as a tighter, extended version of last year’s game with shaper visuals, better sound and a Career Mode anyone who calls themselves a baseball fan will simply go bonkers over.

So I admit this game is an ass kicker, especially for all you fighter pilot gamers out there. By all means add this title to your collection. Just make sure you have an over abundance of patience, and a full head of hair, because you will be pulling it out.

An interesting mix of RTS, turn-based and straight strategic gameplay and varied mission designs. However, the turn-based/RTS system may seem a bit convoluted for some gamers who expect a more simplistic action-oriented approach to squad-based strategy.

A wonderful, must-play action game.

This is one of the better movie-to-game conversions I have ever had the opportunity to play. Even though it is on the easy side, children and adults will enjoy the story and the various challenges that will await them.

Feeds off an incredible storyline, but is hampered by somewhat linear gameplay.

Massive Assault’s gameplay is simple to understand, difficult to conquer, and most importantly, very addictive. The action is fast and intense, which makes the game feel like an RTS at certain times.

A very solid, playable game that stands above the vast majority of the games in the rhythm and dance genre.

I was drawn to play Europa Universalis III because of the sheer amount of options that it offers. Not many games allow you to control an empire for more than 300 years and allow you to do it any way you see fit.

If you’ve never played N or N+, then it’s suggested you pick up N+ on the DS as soon as possible. You definitely won’t regret the purchase of this stellar platforming puzzle title.

While there is resource management present, the game has simplified it to building and upgrading structures to help keep it simple and balance between that and action.

It's so good you'll probably forget you're playing a soccer game. European players will be thrilled, but American gamers would be foolish to think they won't be just as excited.

Like a large pot of soup. The soup makes a great dinner for the first few days, but by the end of the week, it isn't quite as appetizing as it was before.

A great fighter, and definitely one that fans of Guilty Gear will want to check out.

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.

While it may not be neck and neck with the big boys yet, the series has however now become a legit contender in the RPG genre.
