    Players will have seen every reference the game uses, but the ultimate combination is a fun game that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

    The story is a bit of a rehash but thankfully some of the ‘monster-in-the-closet’ stuff is fixed.

    If you have enjoyed previous Sonic games but were hesitant to pick this one up because of the most recent Sonic outings, worry no more. Sonic Colors is worth the price of admission.

    Spec Ops: The Line isn't a perfect game. The multiplayer is essentially a miss, the gunplay is somewhat formulaic, and the controls have a bit of a snag, but it is a great return to the franchise.

    I can't say with certainty that it is a result of the patch, but I can say that I feel that this game plays on the field much better than last year's version.

    At the end of the day a 2D shooter is all about the gameplay and Soldner-X 2 nails that department.

    The action and puzzle-solving elements balance nicely. The humor throughout the game is actually funny, especially some of the animal testing equipment they use.

    8-bit is Enough is another solid entry in the Strong Bad series.

    With its stylish visuals, some rocking sounds, and a solid control scheme to all compliment the frenzied gameplay, you should enjoy the core of the game.

    It's a good extension of the series and a nice way to introduce the older Aerosmith fan base.

    If you like "Gauntlet style" hack-n-slash style games, then Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is definitely for you.

    Some of the more hardcore fans of the series may decry the lack of a plot in the game, but it really serves to get the player more involved and may also be a good draw for people who have never played the game before.

    Fatal Frame oozes with tension and terror. Mystery lies inside the village, and the atmosphere throughout the game is held together by the graphics and sound.

    While there will certainly be debate on the online license change (when it eventually works), there is no doubt that UFC 2010 is a vast improvement over its predecessor.

    This game has a few mixed production values, but comes out on top in terms of being an episode in the 24 series.

    If you are a fan of the previous titles you will also like SingStar, but be aware that this outing isn't going to revolutinize your playing experience.

    While the game is frustrating in a number of parts, it's still rather fun to play, if perhaps a bit too much for the young audience it's aimed at.

    The bottom line is that long time fans of the Need For Speed series should be very excited about the new direction the franchise is going in.

    This game is beautiful to control, I just wish I could have a more broad story mode so I can play as the rappers or the other wrestlers instead of just 4 made up ones.

    The cars are difficult to control, and the paths of terrain they travel through are not much wider than the car itself. Any mistake made can be the difference between first and last place, as well as how much damage to the car is taken.

    At just $9.99 anyone who loves zombies, weird Japanese games, arcade games or even giant eyeball alien games owes it to themselves to check out The Last Guy.

    It’s not outright terrifying like "Fatal Frame 2" could be, nor is it intermittently creepy like "Half-Life" was, but it finds the right balance in being consistently ominous.

    The gameplay is simplicity itself, as are the graphics…some may be turned off by this but they will miss out on a fun game that stands apart from your standard fare.

    It carries with it some of the best aspects of "Call of Duty 2," and adds some new gameplay elements to the series. On the downside, it also brings with it some occasionally braindead AI, and is still a very linear game.

    The DOA series has always looked great, and the hidden depth is still there. Whether this is a must buy for you depends on if you already have the original game.

    While there are certainly flaws in the single player and multiplayer, the game’s fantastic visuals and engaging storyline make it a worthy addition to any Quake fan’s library.

    This title manages to combine the fun and excitement of the X Games with a technically solid racing engine and come up with an experience that can satisfy nearly every kind of race fan. Add to that tons of unlockables and challenges, toss in some excellent multiplayer, shake well with a lot of attitude, and you’ve got a game that no racing enthusiast should miss!

    Those who are sick of the fantasy settings that seem to be commonplace within the MMORPG world will find this as a breath of fresh air. While the setting may be different, there are enough similarities for MMORPG players to feel at home.
