Even though the game has some technical issues, Point Lookout still provides some great new environments to explore. You will want to be pretty experienced before taking the plunge, however, as this journey isn’t for newcomers.

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.
