    Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island
    This is one of those pleasant surprises that sneaks up and grabs ahold of all your gaming time when you least expect it.

    Out of the Park Baseball 11
    It can’t be said enough – the amount of customization and sheer gameplay that is available in this title is simply astounding. While baseball management simulations might not be everyone’s cup of tea, for anyone that has a love of the great American pastime, this is absolutely a title that you should check out.

    Borderlands
    Borderlands is leading the way with the new FPS/RPG genre. It strikes a comfortable balance between real-time combat and character advancement.

    Tropico 3
    With the game available from retailers now for $10-$15 less than most newer releases, it’s definitely a great way to unleash your inner dictator.

    WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010
    The addition of the Divas, the upgrades to the Royal Rumble, and being able to share all your custom creations with the rest of the gaming world take this from being a really good title to making it a really great title.

    Space Invaders Extreme 2
    Space Invaders Extreme 2 is a fun game, and it will only set you back $20.

    Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers
    Duels of the Planeswalkers isn’t a perfect interpretation of sitting down and playing a few rounds with friends at the kitchen table, but it’s remarkably good all the same.

    Axel & Pixel
    Axel and Pixel gets full credit for attempting to make a creative, artistic game, but the low difficulty and short length cause it to unfortunately fall short of the mark.

    Brutal Legend
    The title is chock full of little details that make it a must-have. While it is a bit on the short side, there are plenty of collectibles to keep you busy after you complete the game, and the entire ride is entertaining from start to finish. In a sea of holiday sameness, how many games can make that claim?

    Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
    There isn't another game out there that can come close to offering a more movie-like experience and at the same time not short-change the gameplay like in other cutscene-heavy titles.

    A Witch's Tale
    In the end, we can thank NIS for bringing us another game we typically wouldn’t see, but I would caution most gamers to stay away from A Witch’s Tale.

    Demon's Souls
    In a world where multiple save points, extra lives and cheat codes dominate, it's down-right refreshing to see a title step up and proclaim "I am difficult, and that's all right." Demon's Souls is that title, and for that I commend it.

    NBA 10 The Inside
    For NBA 10 on the PSP I said that Sony threw in everything but the kitchen sink, and the same holds true this year. The biggest problem is that the developers didn’t really work on improving the actual basketball simulation game.

    Fortix
    As it stands, however, I found Fortix a mediocre experience that just didn’t grab me as much as I thought it might.

    PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe
    If you own a PSP and you enjoy tower defense games then buying PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is a no brainer.

    Dead Space: Extraction
    Dead Space: Extraction is a true Dead Space experience.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    MotorStorm: Arctic Edge
    The bottom line here is that somehow, someway, Bigbig Studios managed to create a Motorstorm game on a handheld system that stands up to the PS3 versions in almost every single way.

    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 3: Lair of the Leviathan
    Those who have been trying to decide whether or not to get into this game can know it feels like a Monkey Island title and if you've played the previous ones before these new chapters, you'll be able to capture that same feeling again.

    Order of War
    Order of War isn’t a bad game, it’s just not a very good game for the typical PC RTS gamer.

    Shin Megami Tensei: Persona
    If you are fan of the Persona titles, then you should have a good idea of what to expect. Just don't set your expectations too high since playing the previous Persona titles will most likely spoil you to this game and show you how far the Persona series has come.

    Where's Waldo? The Fantastic Journey
    This would have been a perfect Wiiware offering or budget title, but as a full-price retail product, it simply doesn’t offer quite enough value.
    • 69 Metascore

    Wet
    WET certainly offers some entertainment value, and those who want to check it out for a weekend rental will likely get their money’s worth.

    Wet
    The game hits its stride far too early, and then never really hits it again after that.
    • 83 Metascore

    Need for Speed: Shift
    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.

    Heroes Over Europe
    In short, Heroes Over Europe is a mediocre title which adds little to the arcade flight-sim genre.

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2
    One could sum up my issues with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 by the liberties that were taken with both the story and the characters. It's the only thing in my mind that keeps the game from being truly great, because the gameplay mechanics and leveling system are really top-notch.

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2
    Most of the time when I see a developer change between products, it spells inevitable doom or a watered down shadow of the previous title. In this case, I think Vicarious Visions has taken what Raven started and managed to not only match it but improve upon it.
    • 79 Metascore

    Scribblenauts
    Ultimately, Scribblenauts is a novelty but little more than that.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
    Bowser's Inside Story takes a lot of the great things about the series, ratchets them up to 11, and leaves them there the whole time.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    The Beatles: Rock Band
    If you are more a fan of music titles than the Fab Four, then you might be disappointed in the shorter songs and roughly half the songs you’d normally expect for the price. Any way you slice it though, this is good music that folks from almost any generation can relate to - I can’t think of a single band that has ever pulled that off, or ever will again.
