CONR3 really maximizes on the underlying potential the series has always had, and the online mode really pulls everything together to make it a game that, truly, can stand alongside the plethora of great fighters that have come out this year.

For those of us that find ourselves longing for an RPG that we can enjoy for awhile, without ever feeling rushed or overly caught in minor details, Brave Story can fit that bill on the PSP.

The main single player does have a weak story line, but the multiplayer is a total riot.

The voice over work is absolutely tremendous.

Laid back and all encompassing arcade action it may not be (yet), but it is obviously striving to reach those player accessible goals—while not abandoning its nurtured and honed simulation attributes in the hopes of becoming the perfect soccer experience.

Suikoden fans will enjoy the resurrection of the core parts of the series, and shouldn’t hesitate to pick this game up.

It is this excellent implementation of teamwork between the two that makes Viewtiful Joe 2 more than just a cookie-cutter sequel and adds in a new layer of depth to the original formula.

Burn Zombie Burn is a great action arcade shooter for its $10 download price.

For all other RPG fans looking for something turn-based to play, checking out the series is something worth doing, but playing the first two games is a must before considering getting into this one.

Combat is sometimes a little too loose, but the atmosphere, sense of realism, and highly creative game design makes this FPS highly enjoyable and quite the pleasant surprise.

Metal Gear Ac!d 2 is a not only a sequel that is better than its predecessor, it is also one of the better games on the PSP.

If you’re an RTS vet who’s played everything out there, you’ll enjoy what Act of War: Direct Action has to offer. It introduces the small changes it needs to make it seem fresh, and Dale Brown’s tech thriller story line keeps you entertained throughout.

I-Ninja is about quality over quantity. Most gamers can probably finish this game in about 9-10 hours but each minute will entertaining.

Even though this game was made a couple of years ago, platform fans will appreciate the simplistic but thoughtful level design.

It is great way to kill time and anyone with ADD will feel comfort in this title as the rapid pace of the game is blazingly fast.

It definitely seems to have been the victim of a tight development schedule, with a handful of small problems that generally hold the entire experience back. Regardless, a strong effort to include and refine basically every major aspect of the MMA sport deserves credit.

A highly polished game that is fun to play for many hours, but lacking in certain abstract deliverables the Final Fantasy series and the RPG genre are renowned for.

The $60 question will determine whether or not you should buy this. It really depends on how desperate you are for this type of game. I can't really stress this enough…GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption are much, much better. If you've already played those and are looking for another crime-themed game, then this is worth checking out.

An incredibly deep empire/trade simulation made with fans of the genre in mind.

This game simply serves as a letter to fans with enough of a stockpile of guilty pleasure moments stacked up throughout that any true fan must buy this game, sadly everything is lost on anyone that hasn't devoted serious time to at least several of the titles this game borrows characters from.

Lost Magic is another brilliant and original game concept for the DS. I would even say it could become a classic if it were not for the few issues that taint the experience.

Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble is the brawler that most old school gamers have been hoping will come out. Sadly at the current price point most of them aren’t going to even make an attempt to pick it up.

As shooters go, you really can't do wrong by letting this gem take up some hard drive space on your PC.

If you’re the kind of person who ranks plot as one of the most important features in a game, Hotel Dusk is worth the 15 hours it takes to beat, and another few hours to watch the story over again (and possibly unlock one of the multiple endings). However, if you’re looking for a game to bend you brain over with difficult puzzles and a thrilling exploration experience, you’d be better off with "Shadowgate."

The new levels are all simply great and have some genuinely scary moments (thankfully, since the original was never scary). However, nothing much else has been improved.

Spectromancer might not be the best-looking game on PC, and it might not have the best bells and whistles of games that came out in the last 10 years; the one thing that it does have is amazingly fun and deep gameplay. Combined with the pace of the matches and the reasonable, 20 dollar asking price for the game, it seems that anyone who is interested in card games, either casually or seriously should pick this up despite having a few flaws.

One of the funniest and most entertaining games to have hit the market in quite a while. If you like Monty Python, if you just love to laugh, or if you follow role-playing games in general, then you should definitely take a look.

The gameplay needs some time to get used to, but it's easy enough once you work into it. Everything just fits together neatly.
