As an action game, Crysis could be the best first-person shooter ever, blending over-the-top gunning and dazzling pyrotechnics with enough freedom to make you feel like the cunning badass you always wanted to be. It's an immensely satisfying, richly detailed experience.

Just don't draw any conclusions until you've played the game from beginning to end.

Skipping through years of Resident Evil mythos never feels rushed, for the game mostly progresses at just the right pace and makes it entirely worth experiencing.

If you own a Wii, I recommend you hold out and wait for that version, which features an interesting alternate control scheme and full online play.

Definitely not the worst choice for your PSP, but it’s sad to see the stalwart Sonic standing on such unsteady feet these days.

It's best to get Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends for a younger relative, and then borrow it when they aren't looking.

There is no higher point in Mario platforming than this, and given the height of galactic situations, only something far off the spectrum like Super Mario Micro or Super Mario Universe ad nauseam could possibly topple it in terms of scale and evolution in game design.

With both local and full wireless support, you can't go wrong having a portable version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

While there have been some changes and remodeling in the time off, this is more of the same good stuff as the first season. If the craving for more has hit you by now, this will make the perfect stocking stuffer.

While the combat can be rough and punitive, and the graphics won't make you stand up and shout, its whole is greater than the sum of its parts. While by no means a perfect game, it offers a fun and decidedly different take that's unique to the PlayStation 3 platform.

Though the pacing is quite nice for a 40 hour quest, you spend way too much time gallivanting about the land to just level up. The scenery may be pretty, but it's a chore to go through.

Overall, Empire Earth III just feels cheap. Poor visuals, poorly thought out design choices, a completely lack of originality.

A brilliant idea on paper.

While some games sell the cheese-factor and are still fun, Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is just plain bad with nothing at all to counterbalance all the negatives.

There’s a reason it's defeated Halo for the top spot on the Live charts. It's simply that good.

I just wish it had been a little less polished and a little more ambitious, focusing more on the story and developing additional abilities for the player to gain as the action progresses. It'll never be game of the year, but it's a solid experience no FPS fan should overlook.

Brilliant stuff. Where else can a bubbly fallen angel butt heads with a bratty, ambitious prince hoping to become Overlord of the Netherworld?

THQ had an opportunity to cash in on an expensive license with a barely-there effort, but instead decided to spend the time and resources necessary to build a racing game that offers lots of fun for kids and fans of the movie.

Food Frenzy has an interesting visual style based on the ending credit sequence of the movie, but that's not enough to spice up the repetitive nature of the gameplay.

Every minute of Guitar Hero III has been an exciting experience.

By testing your brain rather than your brawn, it stands out against the too-common controller-wagglers.

ZX Advent packs an ample challenge that will chase away many of those groomed on easier 2D action games like the recent Castlevanias.

[Trials and Tribulations] much like the titles that preceded it, is fueled by a quirky and colorful cast that you'll remember long after the experience is over.

The goal of becoming a chef is quickly lost in the mundane nature of most of the missions.

I've been a sucker for the pulse-pounding excitement of the MotoGP race days for a few years now, and couldn't be happier with how MotoGP 07 turned out.

This one is strictly for the kids who aren't able to relish the true humor of SpongeBob, and who aren't quite adept enough to see how much of a rehash Atlantis SquarePantis on the Nintendo DS is.

The kids will get a kick out of all their heroes being in one place, while Mom and Dad can enjoy a few hours of alone time. It's win-win!

It's too hard at the beginning for newcomers and young ones, too simple in its stage and artistic direction, and overall, it plays like a prototype to the previous and superior Katamari titles.
