The gameplay mechanics are refined to the point of perfection and the presentation is stellar.

Ultimately, all of Guitar Hero World Tour’s components come together extremely well.

A stupendous online mode and a boastful display of graphical prowess complete the package. Dead or Alive 4 is the most complete and most enjoyable fighting game in the series.

The game's audio is magnificent. The entire package is excellent and really brings the game's presentation to first-class standards.

Covenant’s quirky charm, nifty battle system and likeable characters comprise a noteworthy RPG and its strange yet satisfying story sets it apart from other, similar RPG titles.

A great basketball game with excellent gameplay, and the addition of the all-star weekend is a nice treat.

Champions of Norrath looks absolutely breathtaking.

Guitar Hero 5 is the ultimate party game. The solid, addicting Guitar Hero gameplay has been made even more accessible and compelling with all of the new additions Neversoft has added for this version.

It doesn’t take itself too seriously, gives you more weapons and zombies than you know what to do with, and it’s funny in that B-movie kind of a way. The gameplay is fast and exciting, too.

Metroid Prime: Hunters is excellent and shows that FPS can be well done on portables.

With Guitar Hero: Metallica, it looks like Neversoft was able to balance the interests of fans of the band and fans of the franchise.

It won’t convert Madden non-believers, but everyone else take note: the best next-generation Madden has arrived.

Rockstar Toronto demonstrated tons of attention to detail, bridging the game and film together. The action is fierce.

Red Faction: Guerrilla has some flaws including largely forgettable characters, game world and story. But it does one thing extremely well: it allows you blow up a lot of stuff in a number of different and satisfying ways.

With Call of Duty: World at War Treyarch successfully did two things: they made World War II shooters relevant again and brilliantly followed up one of the best games of this generation.

Two very distinct products – a tycoon, studio manager of sorts and a detailed movie making piece of software. The game doesn’t intertwine them as well as it should, but The Movies has enough going for it to make it easily recommendable.

Nonetheless, value proposition questions aside, it’s hard to ignore that this is one the best-looking and most fun games on the PlayStation 3.

While odds are that your little sibling will enjoy some of the game’s charm more than you, the underlying gameplay is satisfying and challenging enough to engage older players as well.
