    Need for Speed: Underground 2
    In a gaming season plagued by same-old-same-old sequels, Need for Speed Underground 2 is a rare title that changes up the formula and still manages to stay fun. When you combine its lasting pick up appeal with a surprisingly well thought out campaign mode, you have a racing game that provides depth without sacrificing the over the top action of an arcade game.

    Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2
    The story is the game's strongest point, though it won't be exposed here so as not to spoil anything, and it’s full of deeper meanings that one can read into if so inclined.

    TimeSplitters: Future Perfect
    The shoot-'em-up action is nonstop, and the character acting is hilarious. The varied modes allow for almost infinite replay value.

    Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
    Along with the recently released "Shadowhearts," Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is a breath of fresh air. It has a unique premise, great game play, and high production values. Then there is the gripping storyline, the most important part of any RPG.

    Final Fantasy XIII
    While the story is beyond confusing and gets further complicated by the cockamamie Japanese nuances and character archetypes, the game is still something that can be comfortably tackled by veteran RPG players.

    Midnight Club: Los Angeles
    If you like fast paced racers that are more on the arcadey side, then there is no reason why you shouldn’t give Midnight Club LA a try.

    Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 5: 8-Bit Is Enough
    So while Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People may have come to an end, it is still one of the more impressive point and click adventure games that came out in 2008 and firmly deserves a look.

    The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth
    A thoroughly enjoyable game, but it’s not going to turn the RTS genre on its ear.
    • 82 Metascore

    Hitman: Blood Money
    There was much about the game that was good: the lighting, the music, the character models, etc. However, there were also many things that soured the game for me, such as the game's lack of a mid-mission save system, the too-linear gameplay, the awkward controls, and the game's habit of being generally too strict.

    Star Wars: Battlefront
    A visually stunning game that will keep many Star Wars fans happy for many hours. My biggest complaint is that once you’re not in the various crafts the game can be a little boring and you find yourself dreaming the AT-ATS.

    Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga
    Divinity II is simply a great game. While there might be some odd little shortfalls that pop up that keep it from the halls of true greatness, there really is just so much going for it in the way of immersive world and enjoyable gameplay that it is worth exploring.

    Quake 4
    Seems comfortable to rest squarely in the warm embrace of the genre that id pioneered a decade ago. Certainly, that’s not a bad place to be.

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
    Chaos Theory can be defined as mild revolution. It brings freshness to the series without alienating what made it good in the first place. Only calculated risks were taken here.

    Condemned: Criminal Origins
    If a little more time was spent tweaking graphics, as well as fully developing the forensic elements of the game, I think Condemned could have been close to perfect.

    Tony Hawk's Project 8
    Newbies will feel constantly overwhelmed and will dismiss this game in a heartbeat due to its high learning curve.
    • 81 Metascore

    WarioWare: Touched!
    As much as this reviewer likes WarioWare: Touched!, it’s not worth the purchase price of a DS.

    Airborne Assault: Highway to the Reich
    A game that will prove very difficult for the casual strategy gamer, and a real challenge to the hardcore gamer. Either playing against the CPU or a human enemy, the best battle plan will win through in the end.

    • 78 Critic Score
    Growlanser Generations
    The presentation is probably the weakest spot in Growlanser: Generations. The graphics consist of 2D sprites, and the characters are very pixilated. Backgrounds can be bland at times, lacking detail. Spell effects are also rather lackluster.

    Saints Row
    While I really enjoyed the look and feel of the graphics and controls, there is still a nagging feeling that the game is just too much of a clone.

    Lumines II
    If you haven’t played Lumines before, Lumines II is a great place to jump in, especially because of that extremely attractive $20 price point for a very entertaining puzzle game.

    Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance
    Supreme Commander manages to excel on so many fronts that other strategy games fell short of, with giant maps and a monetary system that makes sense and simplifies making an army.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Drill Dozer
    If you are a fan of platformers, and want to experience it with a drilling machine, this unique game will please 2D fans. Just expect to be let down in the replay value and sound department.

    Duke Nukem Advance
    Essentially, the GBA is not the place to look for if you want a quality FPS, but Duke Nukem Advance has been crafted with due care, which generates an extremely pleasurable gaming experience.

    Phantom Brave
    Just short of being a masterpiece. The innovative battle system and nicely implemented terrain and weather settings make it entertaining and keep the battles feeling new and worthwhile. The character and item management is ultimately its only major fault…it is just TOO elaborate!

    LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
    A good example of a developer using an excellent license (in this case, two licenses) to its advantage.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Trauma Center: Under the Knife
    This game will manage to frustrate players within a relatively short amount of time. Repetition and some really difficult operations will be more than enough to push any gamer away.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 5: Rise of the Pirate God
    Tales of Monkey Island is probably one of the best games that came out last year, and probably one of the best adventure games that has come out in recent memory.
    • 81 Metascore

    Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free
    Strong Bad Episode 2 is actually a very good game that is overly easy and entirely too short.
    • 81 Metascore

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
    I only hope that enough Americans will appreciate Mr. Wright so that we can get our hands on the other two titles in the series.

    Uno
    A totally unexpected and pleasant surprise for the Xbox 360 crowd. It’s highly addictive, family friendly (although obviously that can change online), and extremely easy to get in to.
