    I'll say again what I said at the beginning: Planetside 2 is a downright amazing game, especially for a Free to Play title.

    This is a solid contender for RPG of the year (along with "Oblivion" and the unreleased "Final Fantasy XII"), and is easily the best SRPG to come along since Disgaea itself, if not Final Fantasy Tactics.

    I'm stunned by just how much fun Fall of Cybertron is. This isn't a game that will redefine the genre or anything else hyperbolic in nature. What it is, however, is a tremendous amount of fun.

    The use of the Source engine gave Troika the ability to use their talents on fleshing out the incredible storyline and remarkable atmosphere.

    Possibly the best first-party game to ever come out on the Playstation 2. That’s a tough thing to say with Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper and Gran Turismo out there, but it’s simply the truth.

    This is, by far, one of the best games on any platform – ever.

    For $40, this is one of the greatest compilation games ever released.

    It is no surprise to anyone that has played a Bethesda game that they have come through on a beloved franchise, well worth several hundred hours of your life!

    Containing all of the downloadable content from the other two versions, as well as a fantastic story to boot, Bioshock is an incredible title.

    Criterion has done the impossible – they've taken what is, arguably, the best race-and-chase game made for this generation and somehow made it so much better.

    This game is simply the modern day "NBA Jam" (which is ironic considering Midway is bringing back that line this year) with more to unlock and tons more things to do. This is the epitome of arcade basketball.

    It isn't deep. It won't set a new standard for action games. But I had a great time playing and I believe you will too. This is the first Transformers game I've been excited about, and having played it I can say that my excitement was validated.

    With 25 characters and 29 stages, and only half of that available at start, you have a fighting game you'll be spending lots of time in. With almost 300 trophies available, you'll be spending lots of time trying to gather all of them as well.

    It offers a fantastic adrenaline rush, great mood and dialogue to go with it, all while providing a considerable number of post-campaign and co-op challenges for those who want more.

    Street Fighter IV is proof that you can take classic gameplay and update it for today’s game consoles and it will be hit.

    The Old Republic hasn't raised the bar for MMOs, it completely reinvents the genre entirely.

    If you’ve never tried Port Royale or Patrician, but are looking to explore a truly engaging “period piece” that will provide hours of entertainment, take Rise of Venice for a spin. As the latest offering from Kalypso and Gaming Minds, the game succeeds at re-creating an age out of mind through the very modernity of its design, and the presentation is as slick as any other new release you’ll find out right now.

    Drinkbox has crafted a brilliantly unique world on top of a platformer that combines the best of the classics, along with a few of its own ideas — things like two player local co-op is a feature I don’t think I’ve ever seen in a Metroidvania game, and I challenge more developers to try to include it.

    I cannot stress strongly enough just how much fun and how addicting this game is.

    If you love RPGs for their rich characters and ability to tell a great story then Arc the Lad is for you. If you absolutely must have complex character development (stats), or an open ended game you probably won't like Arc the Lad.

    Has the technical style of their earlier racing games to make for a fun, well played racing experience, and it has the necessary personality to make it more interesting than other typical racers.

    The game is huge and you may not even get to the first dungeon for hours.

    If you’ve felt like some of the old-school magic has been missing from Super Mario games lately, let Luigi guide you through some of the most satisfying platform gaming ever designed.

    Game of the year on the Gamecube, hands down.

    If you have even a passing interest in Final Fantasy and are willing to put a little effort into learning some complex systems, Dissidia is an absolute must-buy. Whatever you do, do not miss this game.

    This game has tons of gameplay to be had if you give it a chance. Smilebit certainly went the extra mile with the extras in this game.

    An absolute blast even if you do nothing more than simply swing around town. Without the extremely responsive and precise controls, this would not be possible.

    If you're not sure if the game is for you, there's a demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace. However, if you're a fan of racing games in general, Forza Motorsport 3 is a definite win in my book.

    Skyrim delivers a mind blowing level of content wrapped in a package that would be worth the experience at twice the price.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Exceeds the previous title in every way..."Guitar Hero" was a staple of the parties I throw at my house, but it looks like Guitar Hero II has stolen the crown!
