    DoDonpachi looks and sounds great.

    Although Breach sounds like an incredibly exciting game on paper, its execution comes up short. The online-only content is very limited, and the action pales in comparison to pretty anything Infinity Ward has ever created. With so many superior alternatives, this kind of lackluster experience has no place in the modern market.

    I'm disappointed that the story never pays off, and seems more like a bridge to a third installment (getting close to Earth). It may not be deep, but it is an exciting journey, and possibly the most frightening game since the original Dead Space.

    By turns engrossing and frustrating, the game will appeal much more to those willing to look beyond the obvious flaws and those who enjoy B-movies because of their charm.

    The gameplay lends itself to be enjoyed with a controller, but falls flat due to its button layout. It still suffers from some setbacks and odd design choices, but unlike the first game, it is actually playable and, most importantly, enjoyable.

    The actual game included on the disc is an amateurish platformer at best, and a tremendous waste of potential under scrutiny. Instead, LittleBigPlanet lives and dies on what the community builds, and only therein lies the infinite value made possible by this robust toolset masquerading as a AAA "game."

    The slight interface changes and the ability to play as the internal factions does mix things up a bit, but once the novelty of reigning over the Orient wears off, you'll wish Paradox would start working on the next entry in the series, rather than another underwhelming expansion pack.

    Ultimately your enjoyment of Re:Coded will stem from how much you like or loathe the Kingdom Hearts side-stories.

    Fans of Edgar Allan Poe or those who like a "twist" to historical fact might find Midnight Mysteries to their liking, but it's hard to recommend the game to anyone else.

    7 Wonders II probably shouldn't be your first choice for mobile puzzle gaming, especially if you have a copy of Tetris DS or Bejeweled Blitz. However, if you're limited on funds and seeking something a little more international in your gem matching, this is a safe bet.

    It's frantic, it has moments of hilarity, and it's just plain fun. And although variety isn't one of chick chick BOOM's strong points, it's still one heck of a download, and an easy recommendation.

    Undead Nightmare may sound gimmicky at first, but it quickly becomes clear that Rockstar spared no expense creating what is arguably one of the best DLCs of all time. It's not just the sheer amount of content that's included, but also the method in which said content drastically renovates the Red Dead experience in an exciting and meaningful way.

    Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a perfect storm of clever puzzles, suspenseful storytelling, and spectacular visuals that hasn't been witnessed since the heyday of LucasArts adventures. The linear plot makes this a one-time experience, but one that is so enthralling and witty that you'll be thankful for the opportunity.

    Lost Horizon reminds gamers that the adventure genre is still very much alive, can still be entertaining, have a gripping storyline, doesn't coddle gamers by having challenging puzzles that will have you saying "How did I not see that!" after finally figuring each one out, and that not all great adventurers need a fedora.

    Puzzle Expedition is far from flashy. Without a scoring system or an engaging story, the only reward for a job well done is pride, and there is plenty to go around. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more challenging puzzle game on the DS. At times, it's even too devious for its own good.

    It's not perfect, but it is a great addition to the genre, and unparalleled on XBLA.

    Kinectimals took me by surprise. It's not an amazing game by any means, but rather a cool pet simulator that doesn't dip too far into nausea-inducing cuteness.

    Super Mario All-Stars on the Wii is not a bad compilation by any means. The included content is solid and offers a good look at the early years of the series. Unfortunately, everything in the bundle is fairly predictable and doesn't exactly shine for a momentous benchmark like this.

    Truth be told, if you are a diehard Worms fan, there is a lot of content here: character and weapon customization, local and online multiplayer, 30 campaign and puzzle stages, and core Worms gameplay essentially untouched, just how you like it. But I've never found the franchise to be more than a gimmick repeated ad nauseum, and the lack of innovation and unwillingness to take meaningful chances with the all-too-familiar formula makes this a mediocre experience before it even starts.

    For Disgaea fans who want to see the lovable prinny losers get punished over and over again due to the demanding difficulty level, I could see it being a smart purchase. Otherwise, try before buy is the best advice I can give.

    Mahjong Journey: Quest for Tikal is a generic title that can be entertaining, but without any sort of payoff. It's the kind of puzzle game that you don't mind playing on a friend's system to kill a few minutes. You play, you win, and you forget.

    I'm hard pressed to find another fitness title that looks like Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, but then again, the title does a poor job at implementing stretches and warm-ups into the exercise routines.

    Ultimately, you're going to have to ask yourself if Tetris for the PS3 is worth the $9.99. It's a perfectly playable version of the game, and it looks nice. However, there's nothing really special about it. It's Tetris. It's on the PS3. It's kinda hard to get too excited about that.

    The best advice to any gamer looking for their next Kinect title from the small library of quality titles is to avoid MotionSports. Here's hoping that the team can take what they learned here and have time to build a sequel that carries out their agenda and also controls well.

    The Cap'n deserved a better game, and for that matter, so do we.

    The decision to make it strictly Move-enabled is odd, but there is no denying that the game possesses enough challenge and charm for fans and newcomers to give this light-based puzzler a chance.

    As a standalone XBLA offering, Case West is technically a decent value, a bite-sized slice of Dead Rising 2 with online co-op, but the game it's wrapped around is nothing special.

    Pleasantly cute, yes, but more importantly consisting of smart designs and inventive game mechanics.

    Anyone can jump in and enjoy DanceMasters instantly, but those looking to truly master the game will find a long, rewarding process ahead of them.

    The best aspect of Fighters Uncaged is that it can now be used as a blueprint for a book on "How Not to Create a Kinect Game". Avoid Fighter's Uncaged; it'll only aggravate and show you the downsides of motion-controlled video games.
