There is plenty of entertainment to go around and I, for one, will be back to test my wits against all challengers.

In many ways, Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is the best in the franchise. Why? Because it offers so many more options and choices than any previous title in it.

Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth is loaded with traditional old style pre-Symphony of the Night gameplay and elements, and while it's not the best that the series has to offer, it's certainly worth the time and ten dollar entry fee if you're a fan of the original action format in which the series began.

If you're a loyal Resident Evil fan, this DLC is right for you. It gives you another perspective on the story. Even if you didn't enjoy the main storyline, this will make up for it.

This year, more than any other, it feels like NCAA won't be a stop gap until Madden hits the store shelves and can stand on its own by offering a different experience that the NFL can't match.

Since the winning SingStar formula remaining untouched, this Abba version is a winner.

It's debatable whether or not this is the best Wario Ware to date, but it's definitely worth checking out for longtime fans and newcomers to the series.

With 64 different levels, new enemies, the new drone buddy system, multiplayer modes and online leader boards, it's hard not to like Galaxies – especially if you're a Geometry Wars fans. Unfortunately, the Wii IR controls don't work as well as the original dual analog controls.

This is one of the most difficult games you'll play this year and that's a compliment.

A mature, unique story populated with interesting characters and locations make Silent Hill: Shattered Memories an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a title that earns its rating without decapitations and nudity.

A better than average action/strategy game, with tons of replay value but no real impressive or stand-out features.

The latest Tony Hawk outing is overall just more of the same.

While not a purchase for everyone, it's still a solid if not groundbreaking game with just enough fresh ideas to make the game fun to play.

Sega Rally Revolution is the kind of game anyone you know could pick up and start enjoying immediately. It's not the deepest game you'll ever play, but it is fun and an excellent way to kill some time on the weekend.

The games controls are horrible, but other than that and the low replay value its a pretty fun game.

Graphically impressive and a lot of fun to play, but has stiff competition from the system’s more glorified racers like "Project Gotham Racing 3" and "Need for Speed: Most Wanted." Basically, Ridge Racer 6 comes in third place.

Rough around the edges, but the story and setting draws you in from beginning to end.

The story and classic modes both could've been much better, and the lack of online options puts this one leagues behind the PS2 version.

With more gameplay variety than the average game and just an overall happy feeling, there is a lot to be enjoyed here for both fans of the movie and gamers alike.

With its great animation and the new nail a trick mode in tack, fans of the series will have no beef with Project 8.

EA made a daring attempt at trying to portray the 1963 film, which for the most part, reached its goal despite the small lack of fluidity in level selection and plot transitions. However, gamers who enjoyed "Everything or Nothing" will be extremely disappointed to find out that From Russia With Love doesn't even come close to its previous predecessor's gameplay innovation and fast-moving action build-up.

Solid presentation, easy to pick up and play gameplay, and variety make Curious George a worth while purchase for kids and George fans alike.

Am I disappointed? Somewhat, I think the game could have had some variety in missions, but its still a really good game.

With a few impovements in the graphics and gameplay departments Activision could really have a hit on their hands.

But if you love quirky games – the kind that usually stay in Japan, never landing on North American shores – Chibi-Robo is a game for you. It's fun when it gets down to it. Surprisingly so.

If you're a huge "Black Arrow" fan, stick with it. If you've never played a Rainbow Six game before, then this is definently the one to start out with, as it is far more forgiving, and will probably get you hooked on the series.

MLB 2K7 is far from perfect but there are great strides to make it an enjoyable Baseball experience.

The possession mechanics are ingenious, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're ripped off by some other company in the future. A lot of the puzzles and scenarios [are], in a word, unforgettable.

The storyline progresses in an entertaining manner, to keep the gamer glued to the TV for hours. Despite the short length of the game, which is on average 15 hours, Second Sight packs a lot during that time.

We gave this title a high score the first run simply because of its presentation aspects, but hindering gameplay nuisances, bugs, and content absences will continue to keep the series from truly earning its famed status.

WWE 2008 is a fine wrestling game. There are a lot of neat features that will give this game plenty of leg locks until the next edition is published.

Mario Strikers Charged is a very fun multiplayer game that features some design choices that limit it, such as the primitive online mode. However, when it gets down to the core experience it offers, it’s undeniably fun.

Where "Grand Theft Auto" was rather playful in its depictions of crime and violence, Manhunt is simply very blunt and all too real. It doesn’t attempt to present itself as anything other than what it is: a grim and somber representation of cold-blooded murder.

If you’ve played the first two games in the series, chances are you’ll find little new to pique your interest. However, to fans of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, this can be an endearing quality, as the gameplay stays true to form.

Extreme Justice is a definite improvement over the first title and kudos for trying to expand the Pursuit Force universe.

Atari Anthology will prove two things to anyone who buys it; that Atari was truly an arcade force to be reckoned with, and that they had terrible problems developing titles for their own console.

The game felt rushed, it was short, and the multiplayer was lacking.

Almost a little above average. It has a great idea, but it just fails to implement it properly or with any real sense of fun.

While not a breathtaking golf presentation, Tiger Woods 06 does a good job of establishing it’s dominance on the 360.

While the title does introduce a lot of new elements to spice up the Tak formula, they unfortunately come off feeling as though they could have fleshed out a bit more if the developer had more dev-time.

If you've been a fan of 2K's NBA series this won't be a disapointment. Don't expect much more then a good game of basketball though.

Challenging gameplay, beautiful graphics, and pleasing audio make this a solid experience.

Graphically, it's unimpressive but serviceable. Nothing is really outstanding except the creature designs and the blood effect.

While the title does introduce a lot of new elements to spice up the Tak formula, they unfortunately come off feeling as though they could have fleshed out a bit more if the developer had more dev-time.

My Sims games have a checkered past, but Agents is a real gem. Above all, the gameplay is designed so well that you'll be a regular Sherlock in no time.

However, if you're looking for a fast little RPG and you don't mind some grid-based combat and you can ignore the chibis, then Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment is just what you're looking for.

A very good start for EA with this franchise, as they tuned up the sim, tuned down the arcade, and created a nice cushion to bounce off for future titles.

Despite its flaws, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 is still a very good game and a lot of fun to play.

Overall, R.U.S.E. is an interesting take on what some would consider a stale topic these days. It brings some great ideas that have never been seen before into the RTS genre, and executes them well for the most part.

Despite feeling as aged as it is, Dragon Quest IV is still one of the most engaging and endearing RPG titles in gaming history.

Zombie Apocalypse is a fun little shooter game with a few flaws, but most of those flaws don't seem too glaring when you bear in mind that it's a $10 Xbox Live Arcade title.

Still a fun, destructive romp through a virtual city despite obvious flaws in the game design.

If you are looking for a golf game to get into that is new player friendly and instantly enjoyable, Woods 09 is a great entry point.

In all, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 for the Nintendo DS is a simpler game than its console counterparts. Despite a shallow Career Mode, it remains a fun diversion which captures the feel of some older, classic wrestling titles.

Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 is a welcome addition to the series. Sadly, it doesn't introduce any real new gameplay ideas and elements.

Attention Universal: This game demands a sequel! Not only does Wanted offer a stylishly sordid universe begging to be explored, all of the core gameplay mechanics have first-class potential and deserve to be pushed harder.

NLF Tour keeps its feet grounded in believability while taking a more arcade style approach. To boil it down, Tour is a happy medium between Madden and NLF Blitz.

While fun, expect the bunnies to outlast the gameplay.

The bottom line, really, is that Wii Sports, as a multiplayer game, is downright fun. Whether your thing is tennis, baseball, golf, bowling or boxing, you’re bound to be smiling - at least for a few seconds - while playing Wii Sports.

It's nice seeing these SNK classics being preserved through these compilations, and it's encouraging that they decided to drop a whopping 16 titles into the first volume without resorting to cheap filler titles.

For young children, this will be a whole lot of fun and will be greatly enjoyed. Letting kids create their own virtual Teddy Bear and customizing it to their own style will really bring a smile to a young child's face.

Kirby Super Star Ultra is a fantastic revisit to one of the Super NES's best 2D platformers.

A solid addition to the Guitar Hero family.

WKC isn't a bad game. It is a disjointed game. There are so many things included that none of them were able to get the attention they deserved.

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is one of the best Sonic titles in recent years.

Star Ocean: The First Departure is a great take on a first Star Ocean entry to the series.

With the beat 'em up genre making a resurgence lately, future developers need to take some notes from this great, but flawed, tale from Dragon Ball.

With improved visuals, controls and gameplay, SC2 gives rivals Halo Wars and Command and Conquer a run for its money.

While Awakening is mostly a worthy follow-up to Origins, it manages to touch greatness in several areas, only to quickly shrink away from it. The story is genuinely interesting, but the plot unfolds in such an uneven manner some folks may stop caring before the big reveal

Overall, the game is pretty mediocre. The multiplayer falls short and the single player can be beat in less than 12 hours, the controls are rather awkward at first and the cyclones are hard to control.

Mega Man X Collection is money well spent. X1, X2, and X3 are the best games to show up in a retro set in quite some time. Don't miss them.

Mysterious Times is a competent Animal Crossing clone. If you are sick and tired of woodland creatures, you should give Mysterious Times a try and be pleasantly surprised at how well the game was done.

Overlord is far from perfect, but it does contain a very interesting mixture of fantasy role playing and real-time strategy.

Football fans will absolutely love what EA has in store for them but the PS3 might not be the best version across all the platforms due to poor framerate stability.

Whether or not you should purchase Wii Fit depends on the answer to this last question: Do you want to exercise and get in shape? If so, then this is a great tool for you. If your answer is "no," then you might want to play something else.

While Madden NFL 06 has a few nice extras, for the most part, it feels like Madden 2005 Version 2.1. Sometimes being uncontested isn't such a good thing.

If you've never played a MegaMan Star Force game, or perhaps even if you happened to like the Battle Network games but shied away from it in the middle of its long, successful run, MegaMan Star Force 2 and its prequel are worth a shot. If you played and enjoyed the first MegaMan Star Force, you'll find more of the same fun here.

I really enjoyed this game. It wasn't the longest game in the world, took me about 6-9 hours to beat. However I had a great time playing the missions and it reminded me of "Max Payne" a little.

Dark Sector is a great experience and worth a playthrough, but perhaps the largest issue with Dark Sector lies in that much of it is all too similar to what has come before it.

Undercover is a great way for the NFS series to get back on track.

If you've never played a MegaMan Star Force game, or perhaps even if you happened to like the Battle Network games but shied away from it in the middle of its long, successful run, MegaMan Star Force 2 and its prequel are worth a shot. If you played and enjoyed the first MegaMan Star Force, you'll find more of the same fun here.

While Telltale's latest LEGO venture sets the bar high for co-op-based titles, the recycled material has indeed passed its expiration date.

Far too [few] improvements drag down what is otherwise an entertaining game.

Tony Hawk's Project 8 will appeal to the fanbase and the fanbase only.

Some extraneous features like voice commands are nice features but don't add much to either help or hurt the game. The meat of the action will make your gamer heart soar but ends far too soon.

The drum-beat of the gameplay may be a little erratic at times, if only because the drummer's creativity and ambition overwhelmed his finesse, but it delivers the hard-driving goods when they're needed most.

If you have been hankering for a Double Dragon style game and haven't been satisfied with recent beat 'em up offerings, Spyborgs is going to satisfy that craving.

Although not super deep, Excite Truck is a fun little Wii game. I’m most disappointed by the lack of four-player split-screen.

In the end, the formula is shallow and the experience marred by too many small problems. That said, it is a likable and fun Wii title that merges qualities from the action and RTS genres into a one hybrid genre.

It's a shame that the game falls into some decidedly old-school design traps, but there's still plenty of fun to be had here.

While Madden NFL 06 has a few nice extras, for the most part, it feels like Madden 2005 Version 2.1. Sometimes being uncontested isn't such a good thing.

I think that the Star Wars universe is naturally a better fit for Travelers' Tales' LEGO series. In LEGO Indiana Jones, the combat isn't as fun, thanks to the lack of lightsabers, for example.

Mario Party 7 offers much love to everyone that will take it. The mic is accurate and responsive, no complaints there, though it would have been nice to have a few more mini-games that actually involved it.

While this is a perfectly competent golf game with a couple neat new features there just isn't enough going on to warrant upgrading for players who already own previous editions to the game. Only the hardest of hardcore golfers need this year's version.

The lighthearted gameplay, silly innuendo, and general feel of the game are enough to make you crack a smile, even if the shallow story mode makes you sneer.

Animal Crossing: City Folk is not a bad game, and is in fact a very good game. The only problem is, it's ultimately the same game as before, and to a greater degree than any Mega Man sequel ever was.
