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

As mentioned earlier, Rock Band 2 is Harmonix perfecting their established formula with a few gameplay improvements and the addition of some new modes.

The real problem with TNA Impact is the lost potential. Gamers wanted there to be an alternative Smackdown Vs Raw that wasn't in Japanese or 2D. Sadly, they will have to keep waiting for one.

Sadly, it's over far too quickly. I can easily recommend this title for casual and non-gamers. As for the rest of us, it's worth checking out, but don't expect the next big DS release out of it.

I love the character design and the over-the-top approach the taken but the dastardly duo of ridiculously hard AI to mask a shallow control mechanics doesn't bode well when trying to get fans on board a new franchise.

What works is that there isn't any resource collecting and you are free to pursue your warpath just don't expect to get pulled in by the rather sleepy story.

It is hard to place the exact point that Undiscovery got lost. You'll be wondering at times what went wrong to keep this good game be great.

Viva Pinata 2 doesn't bring anything revolutionary to the table as a sequel, but it does fix most of the first game's problems and add some features that many felt should have been in the first game to begin with.

I can't think of a reason why this game was made, and even less reason why it was ported. Avoid.

Mercs 2 is a largely successful effort that will literally give you more "bang" for your buck than most games out there.

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.

Disgaea 3 is the best Disgaea installment. With deeper gameplay, abilities, options, customization, and a whole lot more, this title will please fans of the series.

It'd make a great rental though. Take it for a test drive and see if the experience sticks for your preferred control method and number of available players.

Even with all the game's problems, I still managed to enjoy Too Human somewhat, simply because it did an excellent job of tapping into the part of my brain that wishes I had spent more time playing with dolls growing up.

Madden has finally entered the next-generation with a fierce new look and some ability to flex some powerful new features like Madden IQ.

SCIV takes the existing winning formula and carefully adds new elements to make this edition the best edition ever.

Final Fantasy IV is another DS masterpiece.

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.

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.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is enjoyable, and it's pretty impressive as far as fan service goes, but its appeal is going to be fairly limited.

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

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.

The improvements made to the Battlefield formula have changed the way future Battlefield games will be judged. Right now, the only company to be with is Bad Company.

If you are an RTS fan or unsure if you like these types of games, Kane's Wrath is a wonderful place to start your micromanaging skills.

Unfortunately, design cuts were not made and porting issues were left in tact which left Supreme Commander for the 360 a case study that PC and console are still two very different platforms.

Gyrostarr would be great fun as part of a larger, more elaborate arcade-style space shooter set free from WiiWare limitations, but on its own the total package falls short of enjoyment and expectations.
