WWE-All Stars is an all-star beginning for this arcade wrestling series. It's almost as fun as Aki's N64 wrestling games and it features a roster of legends and superstars that aren't available in Smackdown vs. Raw.

Even though it's more of the same old, same old (a charge that killed the classic Mega Man series back in the SNES/PSone days), Mega Man 10 is a pretty good 2D platformer and Mega fans will thoroughly enjoy it.

If you are looking for a family-friendly action-platform game, Lego Batman is sure to please. There is a lot of good content here that will please both the casual Batman fan and the old-school Batman fanboy.

Your enjoyment of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions will depend on how much you agree with Bobby Kotick's assessment of the previous entries in the series. If you truly believe they sucked, skip Shattered Dimensions as it's more of the same (just without the open world New York). But if you enjoyed them, you'll want to give the game a shot as it's another entertaining Spider-Adventure that's more linear than recent games in the series, but still a lot of fun.

At 29.99, Persona 3 FES packs a lot of story and gameplay on one disc.

Sure, there’s no multiplayer support and that’s a bummer, but the extremely challenging gameplay (especially in the case of Gradius III) should keep you busy all by yourself until the distant day in which Gradius VI comes out for PS3.

If you've still got your copy of OutRun 2006 lying around, OutRun Online Arcade won't provide anything new beyond being the best looking version of the game to date.

While it's not the most perfect version of Bomberman ever (a better variety of maps and a better single-player mode would have went a long way), it's Bomberman on Live and that's pretty exciting (and as fun as ever) in and of itself.

With lots of options, vibrant presentation, and well-implemented online play, Uno is a pleasant five-dollar diversion.

If you are looking for a family-friendly action-platform game, Lego Batman is sure to please.

This is perhaps the best Bomberman game that Hudson has put out since Saturn Bomberman.

TimeShift is an entertaining shooter with a different take on the tried and true bullet-time mechanic, but feels like there were a lot of golden opportunities lost. Still, you won’t regret your time spent in TimeShift.

The framerate is pretty good, but occasionally it really gets hiccupy when there’s too much going on, and it can get frustrating, especially if it happens mid-jump or while you’re preloading, which can really screw up your timing.

Resurrection of Evil is basically the same game as Doom 3, so unless you're a hardcore fan or have never played Doom 3, you can probably chalk this one up as a rental.

An intense adventure that does justice to the Hitman series.

Project: Snowblind's most inviting attributes is its jumble of powers and weapon classifications. Everything else however is just not perpetuating the game in the genre-defining standards it should be setting instead of rehashing.

Echoes of Time, like most Crystal Chronicles games, uses the more classical fantasy style of past Final Fantasy games unlike the guns and motorcycles found in later releases.

It all seems very familiar, but it's a good gaming experience that FPS fans will gobble up for a little while.

Crippled in the transport over to the mouse and keyboard control, Ultimate Spider-Man just doesn't hit par. However, hook up a gamepad and swinging around New York as Spider-Man becomes a fantastic experience.

NHL 2K6 is your only choice for Xbox 360 right now, but it presents itself well enough and plays true to the sport.

The structure of the multiplayer modes is much more involved thanks to the class system, making it a worthwhile mode to check out after the 10-hour campaign since it’s more than picking countries and weapons.

True, a lot more could’ve been done with this license, but for 24 fans it’s more forgivable and only a hope that another day is in store for the virtual Jack Bauer.

A hodgepodge of ideas that work pretty well together, and at least give this series a fresh direction after many years of the same old stuff.

Overall, Fable III isn't a bad game, but neither is it a step forward for the franchise. The nasty bugs, the sluggish and uninspired story, and lack of difficulty make it the least enjoyable of the series.

A simplistic shooter that is charming precisely for its simplicity.

TimeShift is an entertaining shooter with a different take on the tried and true bullet-time mechanic, but feels like there were a lot of golden opportunities lost. Still, you won’t regret your time spent in TimeShift.

Hydrophobia features a compelling world and premise that's reminiscent of the creepy, built-up universes of BioShock and Half-Life. But, unlike those masterpieces, this seemingly unfinished XBLA game features too many narrative holes and missing gameplay elements, making it seem like there was more work to be done.

Turok has a lot going for it in the next-generation, more than it did in the last generation with Turok: Evolution.

It's not a bad game, it's just not the Castlevania we wanted.

Coming home and reliving the incredibly cool persona of a badass Jedi Knight is definitely something fans will get behind. That said, the game is repetitive, extremely short (maybe 6 hours to complete the campaign) and is very straightforward in its approach.

But for those of us who are members of the PA cult, Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 1 is just what the doctor (Dr. Raven DarkTalon Blood that is) ordered.

It's longer, it's deeper, and it's got plenty of variety thanks to 5 playable characters, so series fanatics should be happy, long as they're still into the Onimusha formula and can mind the slower pace.

For those who are tired of the same old-same old when it comes to trivia board games at parties, Buzz! The Mega Quiz makes an interesting change of pace.

If you're in the market for a new fun way to exercise that helps break the occasional monotony of working out at the gym, look no further than Wii Fit.

A better looking and a smarter, more serious golfing experience than any other console title to date.

With new additions, 38 player online leagues and a realistic experience, basketball on Xbox 360 doesn't get much better than this.

While this version doesn’t take on drastic changes, the item stock is sufficient enough for players that want to buy a portable Bomberman that sticks to its roots and adds explosive wireless battles.

Overhead racing fans in particular will be able to stop comparing any new entry in the genre to a game that is more than 20 years old and will instead be able to point to Scrap Metal as an exemplar of the genre.

The combination of a deep character building role playing game with fast arcade action can make it hard to put down the controller.

Even though the console source wasn’t overly impressive and the PSP suffers from a number of new control issues, it’s still a good start.

The problem with Need For Speed ProStreet is that while it's long-lasting and can be pretty enjoyable despite the AI problems, it's also a bit by-the-numbers at times and no longer really stands out like the NFS games used to.

But for a game that was released months after its NBA brethren, it noticeably falls flat in a couple key areas.

Although the game suffers from it’s story, unbalanced characters, and an uninspired creature design, the game can still be considered the best JRPG on the 360 thanks in large part to exciting battles and its strong visual appeal.

Despite some problems with the iffy lock on system, lack lustre presentation and the average story, Blinx 2 is still an overall fun title.

Leisure Suit Larry takes off its clothes and shows us an imaginative world full of sexually starved monkeys that can talk, chicks with dicks, and several other zany enticements that will have you so horny, you'll be licking the dust off your television screen.

House of the Dead: Overkill is a great attempt to bring light gun games back from the video game graveyard, offering a unique style, entertaining scenarios, and a bit more depth than you would normally find in this type of shooter.

Offline it’s a hollow shell of an action/adventure game, but online it’s a fun, addictive, and worthwhile entry – a game that’s based on teamwork rather than endless deathmatches.

While Total Overdose won't be revered as a classic for years to come, it is a surprisingly solid game. You'll be sucked in by the game's very fun action sequences and the chance to blow up everything with a well placed flying car is just gosh darn fun.

Many of the gameplay quirks are just twists on tried-and-true conventions, but the single-player experience provides some decent gunplay, and there is some multiplayer action to keep the guns blazing a little bit longer.

The streamlined gameplay of Mafia II makes for a story that's simple to follow and easy to get sucked into for 12 hours. I just wish I could say the same about the environment. The open world is full of life and detail, but there's no encouragement to stray from the game's 15 chapters.

While it doesn't quite measure up to Contra III or Contra 4, Contra ReBirth scratches that side-scrolling itch a lot of us old-timers have.

New scare techniques aside, the graphics, gameplay, and multiplayer have all been accomplished by other developers. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is a shinning example of how to top a well regarded original title.

It's time that Activision and Neversoft both put a stop to the sinister rehash machine that produces an annual Tony Hawk product.

Designed with both replayability and pick up & play in mind, WRC is both lengthy and challenging, but simple enough to play for 10 minutes a day on the train to work, between classes at college, or any other scenario where time is needing some killing.

But after completing the game in a three-day span, the challenging and short-lived ten missions felt average. Or in another case inefficient, with the only extras being that of a short clip of concept art and one unlocked movie that had just been seen.

By no means a genre defining (or reinventing) game, Tak 2 delivers a solid experience from start to finish.

Leisure Suit Larry takes off its clothes and shows us an imaginative world full of sexually starved monkeys that can talk, chicks with dicks, and several other zany enticements that will have you so horny, you'll be licking the dust off your television screen.

The game's certainly enjoyable, just not necessarily long enough or amazing enough to warrant a blind purchase.

Dead Rising fans - you know who you are - are going to love this game. If you still bust out your copy of the 2006 original, do yourself a favor and pick this up.

Ultimately, Dead Island is fun and deserves to be played, but I recommend waiting a bit until the game is patched into a more stable state. Visual gaffs are one thing, but problems with auto-save that have the publisher recommending you avoid multiplayer, the game's best feature, are a complete red flag.

Dead Rising fans - you know who you are - are going to love this game.

For veterans it will get old fast, while new players may find more to sink their teeth into.

Players who missed the original game will certainly find a solid, enjoyable, but ultimately forgettable RTS experience in Warhammer: Mark of Chaos Battle March.

Though it does have something to add to the RPG genre, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World does not deliver enough to be considered one of the great.

Although the game doesn't have too many bonus features and the different tables are similar in design, you still get 4 challenging and very realistic looking pinball tables at your disposal.

With a diverse group of characters, game modes, and maps, it's a good choice for those who want something with some instant satisfaction.

So from the point of view of story and gameplay, Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective doesn't quite make the grade.

Overall the multiplayer experience is sort very vanilla. This is mostly because the games don’t feel very innovative and the formula itself has been done more than Paris Hilton by the Mario Party series and other Wii mini-game titles like WarioWare and Rayman Raving Rabbids.

I wouldn’t recommend playing the game for too long at a time for risk of getting bored with it. However, in small doses it is fun. The character dynamic is something new and when the thief is in play, it can be a blast.

Dead Rising fans - you know who you are - are going to love this game. If you still bust out your copy of the 2006 original, do yourself a favor and pick this up.

There’s certainly a lot to like with the online offerings of Virtua Tennis 3, but the core gameplay and single-player experience don’t quite hit the unique balance of arcade action and simulation trappings that was found in the first entry in the series.

It won’t dethrone Tetris from the pinnacle of puzzle games, but every royal family needs a hyperactive little brother and Lumines Plus fills that roll nicely.

If you're still a fan of music games, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is another good, solid entry into the series. However, while Neversoft is in a position of releasing serviceable titles every year, but don't seem capable of making real fundamental changes to how the game is played.

It's not long enough to own at full price, but Wanted introduces enough new gameplay elements, like curved bullets and rounded cover, to make it worth checking out, even if it’s only nine levels.

For fans of the series, this is another great Naruto game.

Although Tak 2 doesn't do anything really wrong, there isn't much here that is new or innovative.

Like most Mega Man games, just don't look for much originality or innovation.

It just goes to show that true classic games will always be fun, no matter what the next generation comes up with.

It's short length, combined with a very forgiving Easy (AKA "Penguin") difficulty level, means that most experienced 1942 fans will blow through the whole game in an afternoon. But if you are a fan, this reimagining is very rewarding indeed.

The presentation leaves something to be desired, but the price tag – either free or for $10 – is totally worth it for those who want some casual fun in their Xbox 360 rotation.

The formula remains the same as other rhythm games, but it's enough of a new twist if you're looking to break away from DDR for a while and try something with a slightly different and successful approach to the genre.

The Godfather II movie has been hailed as the best sequel ever. The game version is fun, but technical issues, a lack of replayability and a sense that it feels hemmed in by the restrictions of the license prevent it from receiving the same accolades.

Too often, an old game becomes an "extreme" game with the addition of pulsating light displays and techno music. But after the colorful, swirling backgrounds turn to black, Space Invaders Extreme is still just Space Invaders, a game that is over 30 years old.

Despite the flaws, Call of Juarez is a decent effort from Techland that is definitely worth a look.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate continues the story of the movie and can be considered Wanted 1.5, so fans of the film and comic should definitely give the game a try.

Depending on what you're expecting from this backward-looking game, you’ll find its limited number of genres to be either repetitive due to minor changes between titles or reminiscent thanks to including all series updates, large and small.

A mixed bag. On one hand, it’s immersed in the time period with a clever script and the intricate fusion system. On the other hand, the storyline itself is very straightforward and the combat isn’t as polished as one would hope it to be.

With decent gameplay and a retail price of about 19.99, Kessen III is a bargain for people who are looking for a way to spend several hours per day on an engaging historical melodrama.

The formula remains the same as other rhythm games, but it’s enough of a new twist if you’re looking to break away from DDR for a while and try something with a slightly different and successful approach to the genre.

The Xbox Live support is certainly the main draw, and that also makes it somewhat disappointing that there are some issues with its implementation.

Brutal Legend is a game chock full of sweet tribute to the metal gods.

In a nutshell, it’s a satisfactory entry into the Phoenix Wright series without much deviation from the original. And so I bring down the gavel.

The game plays as well as ever, but the limited depth means there's less chances to really enjoy it, unless you don't mind playing single seasons over and over.

The most disappointing thing about Wanted, however, is that it ends after a mere nine levels.

Good graphics, interesting abilities and an absorbing storyline make this one of the more involving titles of the year.
