Graphics are improved, and gameplay is far superior to that of its predecessors.

While the game may have it’s rough spots, Shenmue 2 is a must have for ANYONE who’s played through the first, and is still worth a look to newbs looking for an epic quest to dig into.

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

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 SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 may have its flaws, but it is still overall a very fun, entertaining, and perhaps even addictive experience.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 offers everything that FFTA offered plus some.

Fundamentally, SSX On Tour takes everything I loved about "SSX 3" – and every SSX game before it – and wraps it up in one delicious package. What's the problem then? It's pretty much just more of the same.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot improves on its predecessor in several key areas. The gameplay -- the melee-based action to the crime-scene investigation puzzles -- is far more polished and well- thought-out this time.

It'll remind you why you picked up the console in the first place and, more than likely, spark a renaissance of Wii parties.

There is no reason why RPG lovers wouldn't like Baten Kaitos, but non-RPG lovers may have trouble adjusting to the slow speed of battles. Strategy lovers especially will appreciate the Magnus system's strategy.

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

Skate 3 is the series highpoint in terms of accessibility, fun and features that will extend the life of the product long into the future.

Incredible controls, solid gameplay, beautiful graphics, and an engaging storyline.

An atmospheric first-person adventure that is plagued by its length and sometimes rigid flow.

The gameplay is extremely engaging because the Wii Motion Plus support is so well done. This is how motion controls should work from here on out.

Tiger Woods 08 is a remarkable golf game.

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

Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny is a solid portable fighter.

For every great feature in the game it's a downside. Upgrading skills is nice, but not when it takes 30 repetitive street missions to buy the next Swing Speed. But most of all the length of the game is the biggest disappointment. A swift 8 hours of your time you can have it beat.

It is hard to imagine the Peanuts gang being relevant in 2010 but Flying Ace shows that a good idea, great execution and a little imagination can make anything possible.

There are lots of layers involved with Beaterator and peeling those layers back and discovering a new sound or enjoying others' creations is what makes this a success at the end of the day.
