It's not the best trilogy in the series, but it's still a very fun set of games. It suffers a bit from spotlight sharing issues and the puzzles maybe aren't the most well-thought out, but the stories will pull you in and has some memorable characters to add to the full cast from the series. The visual upgrades are wonderful in almost all cases and makes it worth picking it up just to play on your PC monitor.

Touch My Katamari is a step in the right direction for the franchise, it's a lot of fun. Best of all, it doesn't cram the Vita's touch controls down your throat and makes good use of the hardware.

Full of retro goodness, Joint Strike is a flashback to the sore thumb days of old.

With its lush visuals and outstanding soundtrack, recommending Capcom's newest downloadable game is a no-brainer!

Elevator Action Deluxe doesn't break any new ground, but it is a loving homage to one of the earliest action games. Here you'll find fifty unique stages of platforming puzzles, tricky labyrinths and increasingly difficult enemies. Even if the visuals won't blow you away, the game retains the spark that made the 1983 arcade game so much fun!

SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 may have a lot of games, but it's missing some of the Neo Geo's best titles.

A bit of trailer trickery might have you thinking that Crossfire: Sierra Squad is more open than it really is. While it's not quite a rail shooter, the environments and scenarios are much smaller than you might expect. Still, a wealth of content and a ton of weapons make up for the surprise once you settle in to the fact that this is an cover-based arcade shooter above all. The guns feel good, the graphics are fine, and if you turn off your brain you'll probably have a pretty good time.

Starhawk is truly a gem in the PlayStation lineup of 2012. Frantic and addictive multiplayer combined with some unique gameplay elements make for one of the best multiplayer experiences available in the industry today. It's just too bad that the multiplayer experience fails to carry over to the single-player campaign.

Resident Evil 5 is a lot of things - it's a great action game, the multiplayer is a lot of fun, the graphics are unequaled and the story is a lot of fun. There's just one thing Capcom's newest survival horror game isn't: Scary!

Maniac distills the chaotic thrills of Grand Theft Auto’s wanted level system into a full game of mindless enjoyment. It’s a darkly humorous shooter that is easy to recommend at the low asking price, even if it may not take the gaming world by storm.

Bottom line: Over the Hedge was fun for tweens, but better for the bottom end of the ESRB rating.

It's been too long since a decent Formula 1 racing game has been available on the PC and Xbox 360. Codemaster's first effort has a lot of things going for it, but there will be room for improvement for years to come. They seem to be on the right track!

Overall, I'm going to have to call this one a winner mainly on the strength of its gameplay and visual aesthetic. Just don't go in to it expecting the depth or structural realism you might find in other tennis games.

Is it the system-seller that PS VR2 fans were hoping for? Not exactly, but there is plenty to like about Firewall Ultra. It’s an extremely comfortable VR shooter with fun tactical gameplay that uses the headset’s features in an interesting way, though it does take some getting used to. Sluggish progression and minor bugs need to be addressed, but First Contact Entertainment has been updating the game rapidly since launch.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions feels a bit light on content, but the translation of a nonsense literary sport into a playable game has been handled nicely. There are a lot of nice unlockables included in the base game with no microtransactions, and those that feel confident enough will enjoy the online play. For those looking for a deep single player experience, though, there is not a ton here. Still, Quidditch Champions is fun in short bursts, and it will be interesting to see how it develops over time.

Recommended for Lego fans and families who want parent and children to be able to play a MMO together without either being completely bored. The few foibles in the game are mostly covered up by the quality of the game play, depth of the mini games and building mode, and similarities to the popular Lego series by TT Games.

Quick, fun, but shallow. Puchi Puchi Virus gives you a quick dose of puzzling fun, but the new game smell wears off quick.

Rainbow Cotton is a fun arcade-style shooter, but it has a couple of flaws. While the game plays pretty well and I did enjoy my time with it, the lack of any information on even the basics of the game’s mechanics as well as it sometimes being hard to see what Cotton’s shooting at can make the game a bit more difficult than it should be, even on the easiest of difficulty settings. It’s still an enjoyable game, but a few additions could have made it even better.

Square Enix really outdid themselves with Star Ocean: The Last Hope International. This is a huge, gorgeous adventure with a memorable storyline and plenty of cool twists.

From the addictive loot gathering to the endless slaughter of robot overlords, Shoot Many Robots offers hours of chaotic and entertaining gameplay. Unfortunately, issues of repetition and a difficult single-player experience distract from the overall experience. Shoot Many Robots can only be recommended to gamers that are willing to take their fight against the robot apocalypse online.

The series was solid to begin with and it seems that the developers tinkered with a formula that didn’t need to be changed.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was a tough game to review. The campaign almost completely lost its way with respect to the soul of Call of Duty campaigns. Meanwhile, the multiplayer and new iteration on Zombies are fun, with Zombies in particular being a real surprise. As a total package, it is deeply flawed, but taken as disparate parts there is a lot to like, depending on your personal tastes.

Rock Of Ages is a weird but fun take on the tower defense genre. Its a fast, challenging and intense game that is worth your time and money. If you can get past the difficult controls there is much fun to be had.

A year after releasing Resident Evil 5, Capcom is back with the exciting conclusion to the story.

If you're looking for a lengthy racing game for the PlayStation 2 then Test Drive Unlimited is well worth checking out, even if there's not a lot of variety in the actual events.

Borderlands is a ton of fun, and its massive arsenal of weapons makes it highly replayable.

I got sucked in for awhile, but the trial and error game play and non-stop mazes wore me out.

Palia offers a pleasant world to explore and a bunch of fun activities to keep you busy. But the purposely languid pacing and the lack of group features have me wondering if this would be better as a more streamlined single-player game. I must give credit where it is due for producing something new and different in the MMO space, with decidedly non-gross monetization. Though it might not be directly for me, many players will fall in love with Palia's friction-free gameplay and friendly characters.
