Arkham City is huge, filled with secrets, and if you're a big Batman fan you'll love all the appearances tossed in, both for the good and bad guys. The addition of a New Game Plus mode also provides an astounding amount of replay value, and if you're any kind of completionist, you'll spend dozens of hours exploring the city for every little secret it contains. It's easily one of the best titles I've played all year.

No matter which system you play this little gem on, you will easily get your time and money's worth as the game is very appealing, addicting, and appropriate for pinball players of all ages.

So I'd suggest checking this out primarily if you skipped over Dead Rising 2.

When it's not being repetitive, it's full of fun and you could potentially carry the team if your co-op player doesn't have the digitary dexterity needed to complete some of the more hectic tasks.

It's hard to describe exactly, but there's something about Rez that just hooked me into replaying it more than Child of Eden has.

So skip this. It's not a very good game, not a good Spider-Man game, and not something I'd suggest to anyone.

Regardless of graphical quibbles, Forza 4 is a fantastic racing experience. There's a ridiculous amount of content here, both online and off, and a huge community that pours a massive amount of support into the game via car clubs, liveries, tuning, auctions and so on.

What the game lacks in exploration (there is a little, but not as much as, say, Metroid) and fun combat, it more than makes up for in pace and puzzle-solving satisfaction.

The problem with Renegade Ops is that it's all too brief; we're talking a few hours max.

The HD remixes to controls and visuals are nice additions, but the ability to switch back to the classic look and feel is welcomed.

The 3D stuff looks pretty great, and since Tetris doesn't involve much action, it doesn't tax your eyes like other titles might.

It's not quite flawless, and it would be great to see a current gen Ace Combat that would run at 60fps, but Namco's attempt at revitalizing the series is actually pretty solid.

It's about as bland as a game can get.

As far as ports go, Overclocked is a little light on content, and as good as the voice acting addition is, I don't think it's a big enough change to warrant a second buy.

It's not a title that I can see myself coming back to over and over again. Its appeal feels a little limited, and it's reliance on cheesy pop music for certain events did start to annoy me pretty quick.

If you're looking for something that will kick your ass yet keep you coming back for more, look no further than Dark Souls.

I pretty much love The Gunstringer, and it is easily my favorite thing Twisted Pixel has put out so far.

That is a lot of boom for a very little bit of Shakalaka if you know what I'm saying. This is the definitive version of the series, not only as it has up-to-date visuals, rosters, and modes, but it is about as complete as you could hope from this series.

Rage starts to wear out its welcome about 3 to 4 hours in. That's the point where it started to feel like the promise of an open world shooter was more of an illusion than reality.

Over the past year or so the PSP has really seen a surge in awesome role playing games, and Persona 2 is no exception.

Brilliant! No matter what you call the sport, no matter which side of the pond you reside, it can't be denied that this year FIFA 12 is the best game of football around.

The combat can be downright boring at times.

This one is definitely more geared towards the hardcore RE fan than those that are new to the series with 4 or 5, so keep in mind that if you haven't played through the original trilogy of games, you're going to be in for a bit of shock with this one.

Easily worthy of a score equal to what both games scored individually. Especially with all of the enhancements and extras included, on top of the remastering itself and $39.99 price tag.

If nothing else you're getting one of the best games from last-gen on current gen consoles, and the HD upscaling looks fantastic.

The only problem I see with BloodRayne: Betrayal is that it will alienate fans of the 3rd Person 3D games that the franchise was built on.

Bit.Trip Saga, the 3DS set, is certainly disappointing in that it's more of a bare bones grouping of the titles as opposed to the Wii compilation.

Bit.Trip Complete feels pretty much spot on to the WiiWare releases, but with bonus content to give previous players some incentive to buy it. Is it enough of an incentive to re-buy if you already own all six games? I don't think so. But it's certainly the best option out there for people that are new to the series.
