    Rift (2011)
    MMOs on launch are usually buggy, laggy, and not much fun, but Rift is already extremely polished and fun, and it will only get better. If you're looking for a new MMO, definitely check out Rift.

    Tony Hawk's Project 8
    Nail the Trick mode is a vastly enjoyed innovation and the Mo-Cap functionality added with the more mature story line and cut scenes are a great aspect to the title.

    Alan Wake
    Despite a five year gestation period and some unfortunate gameplay flaws, Alan Wake remains a powerhouse of interactive storytelling and sometimes unbearable tension.

    Dracula: Origin
    Despite the fact that Dracula: Origin is rather short, Frogwares has achieved the apex of what designing intelligent and entertaining puzzle/adventure games is all about, thus making Origin’s twenty-dollar price tag seem unfit.

    Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
    What it really comes down to is if you're in the mood for some classic Dragon Quest gameplay, because though the game struggles to add a lot of different aspects to the gameplay such as switching classes and side quests, the most important parts of the game, such as combat, still have that distinctive classic flair.

    FlatOut 2
    A very enjoyable racer. It's not a game you'll still be playing in a few years, but in the meantime its destructible racing at its best.

    Sword of the New World: Granado Espada
    Overall, Sword of the New World was a fantastically fun MMO to play. While not as intricate as some other MMOs, the dynamic of having three characters to control instead of just one is a lot of fun and definitely gives the player a lot of things to do and learn throughout his/her experience.

    Wolfenstein
    If you’re looking for a different way to blast those same Nazis you’ve been battling for years, look no further than this fun and exciting shooter.

    MLB 2006
    It’s professionally made, both in controls and appearance, and if you like the sport, it’s easy to say that you’ll appreciate the amount of detail that’s been taken in the game (down to the grass and dirt stains on the jerseys.)

    No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
    The game is action-packed, looks good, and can cater to the hardcore players out there.

    Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra
    Considering that Namco Bandai Games and Monolith Soft originally intended Xenosaga to be a six-part story, this third and final episode manages to efficiently cap the vast majority of unanswered questions and plotlines from the first and second games.

    NHL 2K7
    On its own, NHL 2K7 is a very enjoyable hockey game despite its shortcomings, and should be on the shelf of any serious hockey fan.

    NHL 2K7
    The menus not only seem convoluted, but are very difficult to navigate.

    Call of Duty 3
    The visuals are mind-blowing and the sound is simply incredible, especially with the score it has.

    Resonance of Fate
    Resonance of Fate is definitely not a game for everyone. What some may call insane micromanagement, others will call depth. What some would refer to as cheap and unfair challenge, others will consider challenging.

    Chromehounds
    Chromehounds is truly built as a multiplayer game where team strategy, roles, responsibilities and cooperation will prevail at the end of the day. Played in this fashion, the depth and longevity of Chromehounds, not to mention its customization aspect, will last any gamer with Xbox Live a long time.

    Star Fox 64 3D
    The only thing keeping Star Fox 64 3D from being a slam dunk recommendation is the amount of gameplay that you're getting for the game's 40 dollar price tag.

    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010
    Overall, WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 2010 is a great wrestling game. The gameplay is more of the same, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s all of the new creation tools that really make the game shine.

    Mercury Meltdown Revolution
    Still, the game is cheaply priced, and considering the amount of gameplay you can squeeze out of it, the game might just be right for anyone after all.

    TrackMania DS
    While there are some problems with how the DS presents it graphically, TrackMania generally comes out ahead of the competition.

    Hard Reset
    Hard Reset isn't what I'd call a complex game. The story is minimal, the gunfire is often, and the enemies are numerous. It has some good pacing, allowing you to take a breather and look for Nano after decimating a small horde of foes, but for the most part, you'll be emptying clips of ammo into the robotic menace.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
    Rainbow Six Vegas isn’t all roses but it’s not all thorns either. I guess you could say it’s mostly rosy all around.

    Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
    Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is a great game. While the combat is pretty repetitive, it is not boring thanks to the two suits and the seamless transition between them.

    Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable
    If you own a PSP and love RPG's then you're only doing yourself a disservice if you don't pick up this game.

    Ninja Gaiden II
    Whether or not NG II reflects a purchase for you really depends on two things. Are you a fan of the previous games in the series and are you sadistic enough to put yourself through one of the most challenging games of this console generation?

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution
    Beyond that though there isn't much to say about Retribution. It builds on and enhances many aspects of the previous games while still using the same game engine. The graphics and sound quality are the same as they've ever been so it's really all about the gameplay changeups. The game unequivocally succeeds in giving people more of what they love but there is the real danger of stagnation here. The next games are going to have to do something impressive if they want to continue wowing gamers with each release.
