    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
    Overall, I found Modern Warfare 2 to be fun but it's starting to lose the appeal it had for me after the fourth time around with Infinity Ward. The campaign is really short and the story's pretty weak. Also, there will be parts that offend people but at least you can skip the "one" mission. Multiplayer can be fun and addicting if you don't get frustrated easily.

    Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble
    Even with some questionable controls and outdated graphics, Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble feels like the River City Ransom sequel I've been waiting for.

    Excitebike: World Rally
    Excitebike: World Rally is a really good example of how to take a classic, simple game and bring it into the modern era.

    Creature Defense
    Creature Defense mixes up the tried and true tower defense formula by adding cards. For the most part it works, but if you're not already a fan of this style of game you will likely not be won over by this mash-up.

    LEGO Rock Band
    The tracks become monotonous, and once the novelty of the LEGO characters wears off you’ll be wishing you bought a different Rock Band title.

    C.O.P.: The Recruit
    Although plagued by balance and control issues, COP the Recruit is ambitious in its depth and groundbreaking in its technology. The easily frustrated might want to skip this game, but for experienced gamers looking for a challenge, COP offers a lengthy experience and hardcore difficulty.

    Dragon Age: Origins
    Dragon Age: Origins is an excellent RPG with a great story, an awesome combat experience and definite replayability points.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Band Hero
    Band Hero isn't much different from Guitar Hero 5, but it does have a track list that will appeal to a slightly younger age group.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Band Hero
    Band Hero loosens the reins on the game play to make the game more crowd friendly. The anything goes style carries over into the song list where everyone you know is bound to find at least one song they have heard and/or like.

    Band Hero
    While Band Hero isn't perfect, it does offer more than just painful, hand-cramping guitar mechanics. This time around you can drum and sing, two modes that prove to be a lot of fun on the go.

    Need for Speed: Nitro
    Nitro is age appropriate for the pre-teen Wii player, but will not hold the attention of the older folks in the house. The graphics are fun and attractive but won't be mistaken for the nearly photo realistic graphics available on the higher-end consoles.

    Need for Speed: Nitro
    Need for Speed Nitro has a lot of solid content, good production values and a large quantity of customization for a DS game.

    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood
    This is a worthy addition to the Tales of Monkey Island series. It's one that all adventure fans should own and everyone else should at least try.

    Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony
    The Ballad of Gay Tony is not only an over-the-top action game with tons of great missions, it's also the perfect way to conclude the Grand Theft Auto IV storyline.

    DJ Hero
    An interesting first game in the musical genre that tries something a little different. It's actually a nice little game that can be fun to play.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    DJ Hero
    The gameplay is unique and engaging for those interested in it, if marred by some control issues. There's a lot of content and personality here and a well built game, but guitar heroes probably won't fall into the groove right away.

    Forza Motorsport 3
    Seriously this is the best racing game of the current console generation.

    Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
    This game has everything, fast action, time travel, a great sense of humor and some of the best visuals of any platformer game. A Crack in Time is easily one of the best PlayStation 3 games of the year!

    League of Legends
    A solid and promising free-to-play multiplayer RTS that seems to have been released a bit too early. Even so, there's a lot of fun in the content that is available.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Fairytale Fights
    Fairytale Fights has one of the very best set-ups of any game this year, yet it's marred by repetitive gameplay, annoying combat, levels that go on forever and bosses that stand out for all the wrong reasons.

    Torchlight
    A fantastic action RPG for a bargain price. This is exactly what indie titles should be.

    Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island
    Atelier Annie is possibly the most fun and accessible entry of the Atelier titles released in the West. The RPG combat isn’t memorable, but the simulation aspects that make up most of the gameplay will keep you coming back for longer than you expect.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    Nerf N-Strike Elite
    What were they thinking? The lameness of this game is a slap in the face to every NERF aficionado ever born and, quite frankly, those still in the womb.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Hasbro Family Game Night 2
    Comprised of several well loved classic games, including the historic Operation, Hasbro Family Game Night 2 should be a lot better than it is. Other than Connect 4x4, which holds up relatively well, the board games just don’t convert well to the Wii.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    TouchMaster 3
    A decidedly average game with missed potential. It's worth trying out but not at full price.
    • 85 Metascore

    Out of the Park Baseball 11
    Out of the Park Baseball 11 made many improvements to last year's already impressive simulation. With so many refinements that make it a better experience, it's a no-brainer for those looking for a baseball simulation game.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Armored Core 3 Portable
    If you're not already a fan of the series you won't be won over by this clunky installment. With an enhanced sequel coming out later this year, there's no reason to fuss with this eight year old PS2 game!
    • 83 Metascore

    Borderlands
    Borderlands is a ton of fun, and its massive arsenal of weapons makes it highly replayable.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Tropico 3
    A good-looking, surprisingly deep, charming city-builder. Lots of good ideas that make intuitive sense. More than worth the price of admission.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010
    A few hiccups keeps this title from being perfect but SmackDown Vs. Raw 2010 is everything a fan could want in a wrestling game and more.
