If you're a fan of one of the previous games, you probably have this already, but if you're new to The Sims, this is a great way to jump into the water. Just make sure to climb out for air from time to time.

I walked into Out of the Park X as a complete neophyte and came out rather impressed. Everything was easy to understand, if a little daunting at first. It's not the kind of game you can really get a handle on after dabbling in it.

Be that as it may, this is definitely one of my must-have games for this year. It’s too bad it's so damn short!

If you are a fan of the classic 16-bit era of RPGs then you should definitely buy Crimson Gem Saga.

So, is The Munchables a good mid-range title? Yeah, it is. No one is going to confuse it for Super Mario Galaxy, but it's still a lot of fun.

In the end, I can’t recommend Cross Edge to everyone, but I can recommend it to people who like deep RPGs and don’t mind a little bit of camp with their story.

Fans of Ratchet and Clank who do not own a PSP will be the only ones who will definitely want to check this game out. But keep in mind, it's a short game, coming in at around 8 hours tops. So this may be a rental only if you have to play this game.

From perfectly motion captured fighters, seamless online modes, and excellent presentation, UFC 2009: Unleashed truly is “As Real As It Gets”.

All in all, this is a decent port of the PC version, if only they hadn’t ported the blemishes as well.

PvZ succeeds masterfully at simplifying the tower defense genre into a game that nearly everyone can enjoy.

If you're not a fan of puzzle games, you won't like this one. If you have only a passing interest in puzzle games, you might find Puzzle Kingdoms more frustrating than fun. If you love puzzle games, are suffering from withdrawal and desperately need your fix, Puzzle Kingdoms should provide a good experience despite its obvious flaws.

While X-Men Origins: Wolverine does have a few nagging issues, there is a great deal to like here as well.

A movie-based game that is well done and relatively problem free? X-Men Origins: Wolverine is definitely one of the more pleasant surprises of the year.

With its stunning graphics and terrific story line, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is definitely one of the more pleasant surprises of the year.

For a game based on the season's first blockbuster, and given how well a job was done on this limited-but-loveable platform, I am impressed.

All that being said, MLB Dugout Heroes feels like baseball. Plus, circling back to the best part about Dugout Heroes: It's all free.

Explosive Megamix is only $20, so it can be looked at as a value title. However, there are plenty of other value titles that have better gameplay.

I do think that the gameplay is solid, and a couple of tweaks could make this a great game.

If you are yearning for a multiplayer beat-em-up, this might satisfy you for a bit. Be warned though: since there is no story, I found the limited appeal is for all but hardcore fighting fans.

Flock has a lot going for it. It’s a unique action-puzzle title in a genre filled with too many uninspired Bejeweled clones.

In the end, this charming little puzzle game just isn't a good fit for the Wii.

It has an unmistakable charm, and it could have been a great game. As it is, it's hard to recommend to anyone except for hardcore rhythm game fans.

When I got Tokyo Beat Down, I was really hoping for a great beat-'em-up experience translated into the third dimension, similar to how adventure games and one-on-one fighting games have transitioned into 3D. Unfortunately Tokyo Beat Down falls short of that, and if I want a beat-'em-up I'm better off putting my GBA copy of Final Fight One into my Nintendo DS.

What can you say? It’s Metallica. If you like Metallica, pick this up. If you don’t, you may want to skip it.

In the end, Lux-Pain is really more of an interactive novel than an adventure game, and the intriguing premise is undermined by the uninspired gameplay and confusing story

Burn Zombie Burn is a very fun arcade style action game.

Taken as a whole, Wheelman is a fun weekend title that fans of arcade style racers will enjoy, however briefly.

For fans of WWE games, those who grew up in the 80s and 90s watching WWE wrestling, or those who always wondered who would win between John Cena and Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and Big Show, or how about the tag team of Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase Jr vs. Dusty Rhodes and Ted Dibiase; this game is a must-buy.
