    NBA Jam is a lot of fun to play, especially with friends both online and off. The game plays exactly like the original in terms of gameplay, which was the series' strong point. EA has gone to great lengths to ensure that the strengths of the original has remained in tact.

    Some pretty bad bugs cropped up and the collar is really annoying at times. I did like the characters in the game and the story isn't too bad as well. It's better than Mothership Zeta for Fallout 3, but those that played that know it's not saying much.

    Bomberman's newest Xbox Live Arcade game is hardly the revelation some were hoping for, but it's a solid multiplayer game nonetheless.

    Majin and the Forsaken is the definition of a mediocre title. Nearly every aspect of the game is bland and unoriginal, with the exception of a great control scheme when it comes to controlling the non-playable Majin. Some players may find a tolerable adventure in the game, but don't expect much else.

    If you're a dedicated Dragon Ball fan, look no further than Raging Blast 2 for your fanservice.

    The storyline's intention for motivation quickly becomes trite, and Pigsy is not the most favorable protagonist. The gameplay, however, is surprisingly unique compared to Enslaved's.

    Unless you're desperate for CoD and only own a Wii, pass on Black Ops or get it for a different console. Discerning Wii owners looking for a good FPS should get GoldenEye, and start saving for Conduit 2.

    This expansion adds some welcome content for China and Japan, but is primarily just a collection of minor enhancements and tweaks.

    Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is a fun game that was almost brought down by questionable control issues and a repetitive story. If players can get past a few minor problems, they'll discover that this prequel offers a surprising amount of great content, beautiful graphics and even some fun multiplayer modes!

    A fun, if not terribly challenging, pulp adventure title. The brief ride is enjoyable the entire time, and a solid pick for fans of the genre.

    In summary, Cities in Motion looks to become a solid transportation sim in a colorful package. A comprehensive city model and a wide assortment of transport modes provide a wealth of choices to the aspiring city planner.

    Sonic Free Riders has a lot of good ideas, but none that are brought to fruition what serves as the ultimate experience.

    I really wanted to like Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring, but the gameplay system's faults just keep it from being a truly enjoyable experience in the long run.

    Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos had the chance to take the original game and fix everything that was wrong with it. Instead, it was remade, almost from scratch, and actually made worse in many areas because they tried to make the game more simple…

    Buy two. If you buy one for the casual gamer in your life you will just end up fighting over it. For the sake of your friends and loved ones, I beg you, buy two.

    It's fun, it's cheap, and it gets you Team Fortress 2 upgrades while letting you play poker against a bunch of fun characters. It's a good game, even if you don't play TF2. The controls aren't great and the poker isn't the best, but it's still a hoot.

    There isn't a single redeeming quality to Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes that will justify playing the game to its full extent.

    Ultimately, the Qlione bundle that comes at the price of $6.99 on the PSN gives you a good value for a 2D shooter that involves a healthy amount of strategy.

    The game has great replay value and it is relieving to see the developers not take their selves so seriously in expecting their own game to be more than it is. You are getting what you pay for... a (solid) space shooter for two bucks.

    If you're looking for a great holiday-themed adventure game with laugh out loud funny writing, look no further than Costume Quest!

    Spelunker HD proves that this is one classic game that deserves to stay buried!

    Return to Mafia II in yet another unspectacular expansion pack. Joe's Adventure has the potential to be great, but it falls short thanks to boring filler missions, a lack of a checkpoint system and a frustrating timer. And worst of all, it turns out that Joe's adventure is barely worth telling. This is only for the most hardcore Mafia II fans!

    n-Space takes the rather generic framework of Blood Stone and turns it into a thrilling Bond experience, through gameplay innovation and old fashioned ingenuity.

    Dead Rising 2: Case West is a fun game, but the dull setting and lack of shopping makes this my least favorite installment yet.

    This patient could be a zombie except that zombies have to have been alive once to come back to life after death. House, M.D. is D.O.A. and isn't even suitable as a time waster.

    A solid engine brings an interesting conflict to life. No shortage of grognard fun, but not for the faint of heart.

    If all you're looking for is a huge head count and exciting two-on-two action, then Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team is the game for you.

    Scribblenauts returns with yet another disappointing puzzler. 5th Cell manages to get the control right, but the terrible campaign and limited puzzles drag everything down. There are remnnants of good ideas here, but Super Scribblenauts doesn't deliver on its promise.

    Knights in the Nightmare is a solid addition to the PSP library.
