    The in-game instructions also leave you dizzy, so Cities XL is really quite impenetrable if you haven’t played something else in the genre. After suffering through the cheesy “inept mayor/smart assistant” shtick of the tutorials I was still left horribly confused regarding basic game principles. Worse, I was bored.

    That said, Demon's Souls is a terrific game. It sets such a high standard for dungeon crawling titles that can only be matched by the best of them.

    It’s not without its quirks and imperfections, but NBA Live 10 gets enough of the fundamentals right that it’s hard not to be excited about EA has in store for next season.

    Whether you rent it or buy it, Extraction is a must play for any mature Wii gamer.

    Ninja Gaiden presents a decent package that will entertain you for brief periods of time if hack and slash button mashers are your type of game.

    Halo 3 ODST offers up everything you'd expect from a Halo game. Fast paced action, a decent story, and a great multiplayer experience.

    It has flaws, it has problems, but once you get past though issues, it's still a fun and involving RPG underneath.

    However, the game is enjoyable overall, though really only a ‘must have’ for those who can score a million points with their eyes closed and one hand tied behind their back.

    Majesty 2 has been a long time coming, and no matter what your favorite variety of real-time strategy game may be, you will find something to like about it.

    So the game is fun, but ultimately flawed. It'll definitely appeal to those who like over-the-top, action-heavy titles, but the low graphical quality and somewhat repetitive nature of the titles will likely turn others away.

    There has never been a sports video game that has combined such silky smooth playability, technical excellence, fantastic AI, and respect for the game as presented here.

    For hockey fans with only a Wii, NHL 2K10 still comes highly recommended, warts and all.

    It’s just that the game fails to deliver anything overly meaningful especially considering that the groundwork for this title was already laid thanks to Raven Software’s excellent work in the past.

    All this being said Scribblenauts falls short of expectations through a lack of polish and some pretty horrendous action controls.

    If Darkest of Days were a film it would make the rounds at festivals, where “flawed but interesting” has its place. But there are no festivals in gaming, outside of the ten games that get selected for spotlight every year at PAX.

    By combining fantastic presentation with impressive racing action, Dirt 2 could very well be the sleeper victor in a very crowded genre.

    Don’t waste another second hanging on the fence about it. Buy this game.

    If you’re looking for a game that focuses on customizable shoot-em-up gameplay, and little else, CrimeCraft might be your bag, baby. However, if you’re looking for something more in the RPG market or a game that will keep you entertained for months to come, CrimeCraft most likely won’t lead you to trade in that shimmering broadsword for an automatic assault rifle.

    Fun and frustration have rarely come together in such a cohesive package as they do with Trials HD. Those looking for a physics puzzler that will push your gaming skills as far as they’ve ever been stretched have certainly found their new obsession. For the rest of us, Trials is still worth a look, but the recommendation is not quite as enthusiastic.

    Overall Death to Spies: Moment of Truth is a solid stealth game.
