If Cars (the original video game that was a pseudo-sequel to the original film) can entertain adult gamers even though it was clearly designed for kids, what does that say about a Toy Story game that fails to amuse the fans who grew up with the franchise?

This would have been a shoddy effort as an Xbox Live Arcade title, but seeing it on a store shelf is less of a salute to the military's naval forces, and more of a slap in their faces.

The personality and surreal art style of Earthworm Jim HD win out over the fidgety controls, but they aren't capable of moving the title into the stratosphere of a must-buy.

Disgaea Infinite is like having a stack of comics with only one that can be read until you figure out the proper order in which the pages need to be flipped.

Green Day: Rock Band is exactly what the name would imply; nothing more and nothing less.

It's more about gameplay and less about the story, which means a win-win for everyone. There's sneaking, explosive action and even a little cinema thrown in for good effect. It's frustration and glee all rolled up in one excellent multiplayer title for the PSP.

Tiger Woods 11 feels much more like a transitional entry to the franchise overall, and it's hard to imagine that the 2012 iteration of the series won't shift the focus to motion sensing devices like Kinect.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 is a fine addition to the series. While the additions here are marginal, the actual mechanics of the game still benefit greatly from the Wii MotionPlus attachment, making for the best golfing game you're likely to find this year.

Enjoyable from beginning till end, even with the spikes in difficulty as challenges became harder at the tail end of the game, Joe Danger has helped put Hello Games on the map as a developer to watch out for.

Mega Man Zero Collection is still a good compilation with one great game and three entertaining sequels.

With the witty banter, humorous storyline, and excellent cast of characters, Jolly Rover manages to create an identity of its own.

The tweaks and changes are definitely appreciated, but there's really nothing here that couldn't have been done in a patch to improve the base game.

Issues aside, Snoopy: Flying Ace is a triumph for one reason above all else – feel. Once you get the hang of it, there's a connection with the controls and a sense of mastery that few games pull off successfully.

Animations and the Tackle Alley mini-game aside, Backbreaker doesn't have much to offer fans of the sport. It's worth a rental, if only to see what other developers can do with the genre.

The list of technical issues plagued the title right from the on-start and continued until the ugly ending. Whether it was one enemy mysteriously multiplying into three enemies before my eyes (maybe he was Marvel's Multiple Man?) or enemies running in circles around platforms for no good reason besides chasing their own tail, Alpha Protocol is a good lesson of how not to create a video game.

Watch the World Cup on television and bypass this effort.

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.

A force to be reckoned with. THQ has put every other fighting game on notice as UFC Undisputed 2010 has moved into the domain of one of the best games in the genre.

An intelligent, deep and enjoyable game that takes the 'play, create, share' initiative and runs with it. Fun, entertaining, a pleasure to look at and create in – MNR raises the bar for the genre.

For a game that takes as long as this one does to complete, the production value, the price and the experience, its really a no-brainer if you are an RPG player.

Mario Galaxy 2 is a game that would sell the Wii if most gamers didn't already have one. It will amaze you, it will surprise you, and most of all it will be a game that you will cherish for years to come.

It has some pacing issues, loose ends, and can be absurdly linear, but none of these factors can overpower the incredible events that unfold.

With tons of content both online and off, stellar production values, and solid gameplay, Red Dead Redemption is an absolute blast to play, and a time-consuming one at that.

While there are some problems here and there, Split/Second is a great racer, with a simple, arcade feel that allows for great accessibility and some real challenges for hardcore fans of the genre.

The attention spent on level design at least returns to being above average, even though the detail within the environments isn't up to par.

Bit.Trip Runner requires tremendous levels of patience, determination, and skill, probably more than most people can muster. If you have what it takes, Bit.Trip Runner is absolutely fantastic - a rare game that makes you truly happy to be playing.

Absolute Power isn't a revolution, instead taking the framework laid out by the original game and building on it with new features and a wacky new campaign.
