With Din's Curse, players will have access to something that is familiar and fresh all at once. Having new scenarios play out each time really heightens the replay value of the title.

This is a storybook adventure, no doubt about it, and a lame one at that. Proceed with caution.

After hours upon hours of competitive gameplay, Samurai Shodown: Sen didn’t serve enough entertainment value to satisfy my tastes. It’s a shame since the series has long been one of the more popular franchises among hardcore fighting fans.

Mount & Blade: Warpath can be a very overwhelming game given the sheer amount of complexity, but gamers who stick with it and get past the steep learning curve will have a good time.

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.

While it won’t revolutionize the first-person shooter genre or change the way we see online multiplayer shooter action, Section 8 sets out to show gamers a good time it is accomplishes that mission successfully.

A huge improvement over its predecessor, Just Cause 2 is a blast to play, offering a vast island to explore and great ways to do it... Unfortunately, the repetitive mission design and lousy script keep this from being a truly classic experience.

Red Steel 2 is everything the original game should've been and more. While there are some lingering control issues and a linear feel, this is one of the best shooters you can find on the Wii.

The game looks good and the controls are not hard to understand, but this is another in a long line of games that are riding the crest of the feature film and not offering anything compelling enough to maintain interest for long.

The final product is one that will appeal to more impressionable children, but probably frustrate the more determined ones.

While the controls can seem a bit touchy at times, the actual racing animations feel stiff and not as fluid as they should be. Sure, these are big bikes and metal doesn’t bend that well, but there were times when it just felt as though the game was on a rail. That said, for those who like racing games and motorcycles, MotoGP 09/10 has a robust racing package that should sate appetites.

The setting is definitely terrific, and multiplayer is handled quite well, but the game just does not go that extra mile and offer something outside the graphics that sets it apart. It is a good game; it just does not go that extra step to becoming a great game.

The Firewalker is like the hotheaded younger brother of the Mako. It will likely get more nods than jeers from the fans, but the fun is over in less than an hour. Maybe we’ll see a healthy amalgam of the two vehicles faithfully integrated in the third game.

Cave Story on the Wii can be recommended to fans of the original, fans of Pixel's other projects, and just about anyone that enjoys a challenging 2D game.

Original Supreme Commander purists might be gathering their pitchforks, but the bold move to make the game appeal to a broad audience who might have found the original extremely daunting was something the series needed.

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.

I am a stat-junky, so Infinite Space instantly struck a chord with me. I desperately want to love it. It has a likable cast of characters, an amazing amount of gear to play with, and a story with just enough intrigue to lure you forward.

The completely revamped gameplay might turn off some fans of the series and the story isn’t quite what it should be for the end of a chapter in the Command & Conquer universe, but there is a lot of perks and upgrades to be found here for those that stick with this radical departure from the series’ mechanics.

Providing an alternate ending for those players who dedicate their time to helping those in need within the underground world, Metro 2033 has replay value in droves.

God of War III is amazing and disturbing all at once.

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is utterly depressing. I wouldn’t mind, if there seemed to be a reasonable, unified theme. I want to love it for the beautiful world and frightening ghosts within, but beauty can only overcome absolute boredom for so long.

The new content does its job of keeping the appeal factor high, but the bugs, lack of story depth and uninteresting characters don’t exactly invite in newcomers.

With an emphasis on feel-good playability, it’s hard to go wrong with Rage of the Gladiator. Any old school boxing gamer will feel right at home.

Whether your interest is massive or mild, I highly recommend giving Shatter a try. It reminds us what we love most about the genre, and maintains excitement rather than prolonging itself to uncomfortable limits.
