    Call of Duty: Black Ops
    But this game is an epic fail start to finish. It's storyline is terrible, the graphics are mediocre at best, the voice acting ranges from bad to worse (with Oldman the lone actor who must have used his imagination while recording his lines), the Wii's native controls aren't exactly cut out for this kind of rapid action, there's little to no reason given as to why to play the game (which isn't very fun), and the in-game cut scenes are terrible.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops
    On the whole, Call of Duty: Black Ops for the DS is a genuinely solid little shooter.

    Time Crisis: Razing Storm
    Taken as a whole; Time Crisis: Razing Storm is a fairly good package.

    GoldenEye 007
    N-Space did everything they could with GoldenEye. They've pushed the DS as far as they could, but it simply doesn't have the power to do anything more than the most basic shooter mechanics.

    GoldenEye 007
    GoldenEye 007 is a great step in the right direction for this long-neglected franchise.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops
    Whatever your gameplay preference is, Call of Duty: Black Ops has you covered and is a must-have title for any shooter fan.

    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood has everything you loved and hated about AC2, but it has shined up the positives to a sheen I didn't expect. Toss in the fantastic multiplayer with its persistent experience and leveling system and you have a solid and worthy successor to an already great series.

    Blood Stone: 007
    For those of us that are hardcore 007 fanatics, James Bond 007: Blood Stone is good enough to hold us over until the eventual resurrection of the film series (or perhaps another game), but most players will rightfully pass on this one in favor of other gaming options.

    Pinball FX 2
    Pinball FX2 is one of the most accurate and realistic pinball simulations I have played. If you appreciate the creation, design, and gameplay of pinball machines, you will get many finger-blistering hours from Pinball FX2.

    Tony Hawk: Shred
    While the previous Ride reviews might have scared you away from getting Shred, it's worth trying out if you get a chance. You might be surprised how much fun you are having with the game.

    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011
    Yuke's and THQ set the bar quite high with last year's rendition of this franchise, and they could have easily taken the year off and rested on their accomplishments. It is quite impressive to see that the development team has stayed hungry and added some key elements to this franchise that fans are going to go absolutely wild over.

    NHL Slapshot
    Veterans to the series who want their NHL game to be as realistic as possible will still want to go with the PS3 or 360 versions. But gamers who want a fun, faster paced version of the NHL, coupled with good use of motion controls, will definitely want to check out NHL Slapshot.

    Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
    For $30, it's not a bad deal to try it out and see how you and your friends can do when in the mood for some trivia. Just don't expect the same level of expectation of being on the show.

    Hollywood Squares
    Your kids might have some fun with this, or maybe with someone else who enjoyed the game show. After a few games the experience gets rather dry.

    Fable III
    Even if you don't play Fable 3 more than once, you can expect about 20-25 hours to play through the core game, and anywhere from another 15-20 more if you decide that you want to see most of everything the game has to offer. But I'd recommend not charging straight through – go wander about and sniff the proverbial flowers and have fun exploring the world of Albion.

    Alien Breed 2: Assault
    All that being said, Alien Breed 2: Assault is a fun little game to play.

    Super Meat Boy
    If you can handle the difficulty and don't mind an exercise in frustration, this is one of the best platformers out there and an honorable ode to the glorious days of old-school. If you prefer a more easy going experience, you may want to pass on SMB and save yourself the rise in blood pressure.

    Medal of Honor
    While the battle between the two modern warfare juggernauts will be settled in multiplayer, the single player stands well enough on its own to justify your purchase.

    Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs
    It appeals to your kids, and will probably be quite a bit of fun for them. They'll get to see their favorite Pokemon, and be able to run around in an enjoyable world for a bit. However, as an adult, you probably won't have much fun beyond seeing your kids enjoy their time with it.

    Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
    If you liked any of the previous Layton games, you should definitely get Unwound Future.

    Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
    Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is a really good game, but it's not a truly great game.

    Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
    If you just enjoy good adventure games with a heavy dose of action, then be sure to give Shattered Dimensions a look.

    Fallout: New Vegas
    While there is an incredible wealth of things to discover and enjoy in Fallout: New Vegas, so much of it will depend on the game being stable enough to see it. The gameplay mechanics (factions, crafting, etc.) that Obsidian has brought to the table are welcome additions, but the framerate issues, lockups, and texture oddities are not.

    DJ Hero 2
    Along with FreeStyleGames critical examination of every bit of DJ Hero and their effort to improve everything, they have succeeded beyond measure and created a title that no music fan should pass up.

    DJ Hero 2
    Overall, the game looks like it has been rebuilt from the ground up. The removal of the guitar portions, a slick new interface, a more evenly distributed soundtrack, and a few new tricks to keep you on your toes make this a far more polished product.

    Super Scribblenauts
    For all the hype that floated around the original Scribblenauts, it ended up delivering a lot less than promised. Super Scribblenauts delivers the goods in a way that the original couldn't.

    Hydrophobia
    Hydrophobia shows what true water physics can bring to a game. It showcases the water well, but that isn't enough to carry the game completely.
