    DiRT 2
    Basically, there's not enough content to the Wii port of Dirt 2 to warrant a purchase, and you certainly don't want to pick this up if you have access to another home console version of the game.

    DiRT 2
    By and large, Dirt 2 is an unremarkable and mostly boring racing game, and the more you play it, the worse the flaws get.

    DiRT 2
    There is no individuality or unique feel to any of the supposedly varied tracks. The mission variety is a thinly veiled joke, and the graphics aren't enough to make you forget that you're not having any fun.

    Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days
    All in all, Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days is a great strategy RPG, and while I still prefer the original title's story line and characters, there's nothing to really complain about when it comes to the gameplay.

    Darkest of Days
    The premise is great, the big set-piece battles are fun, but everything else is boxed within dated design concepts from which other titles have long evolved.

    NBA 2K10: Draft Combine
    NBA 2K10: Draft Combine is an interesting experiment that would only appeal to a limited audience.

    Section 8
    Section 8 is difficult to recommend to anyone but fans of the space-marine shooter subgenre.
    • 80 Metascore

    SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny
    Even with several flashy, promising new PSP titles on the way this gaming season, Broken Destiny should be near the top of your must-play list.
    • 86 Metascore

    Guitar Hero 5
    The new mechanics work extremely well, and the visuals have received a nice new coat of paint to really make performances pop and give you the feeling that you're watching actual concert footage instead of a simple video game.

    The Hardy Boys: Treasure on the Tracks
    Altogether, I think it's a pretty good value for $20, and while it's a budget title intended for kids, I think it would be a pretty solid game for any casual gamer.

    Champions Online
    Champions Online has something for everyone, so when we get to the bottom line, I'd recommend giving it a try. The problem with having something for everyone is that when you try to make everybody happy, no one really is.

    Emergency Room
    It's an interesting approach to the Trauma Center formula, and I'm glad to play another game in that funky sub-genre, but at the same time, I'm waffling on whether I'd recommend this title for purchase.

    Warriors Orochi 2
    Ultimately, Warriors Orochi 2 takes an already tarnished franchise and further beats it into the ground.

    NBA 2K10: Draft Combine
    NBA 2K10: Draft Combine is an interesting experiment that would only appeal to a limited audience.

    Cursed Mountain
    Cursed Mountain is a very good surprise for all survival horror Wii owners.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Batman: Arkham Asylum
    Fans of the franchise owe it to themselves to pick it up, and anyone with a hankering for a high-quality action game will find Arkham Asylum to be just what the doctor ordered.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Batman: Arkham Asylum
    There have been many different Batman games over the years, but none quite so polished as this one. Batman: Arkham Asylum combines the best elements of the classic Batman mythos with the modern-day interpretation of the hero. The end result is a game that outshines its flaws and is quite simply a blast to play.

    Dissidia: Final Fantasy
    At its barest elements, Dissidia: Final Fantasy is phenomenal.

    Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy
    Mana Khemia 2: The Fall of Alchemy feels like a half-finished game.

    CrimeCraft
    It's surprisingly rewarding to climb in levels and get a new gun only to trick it out with some mods and a new paint scheme, and for what the game lacks in complexity or a plot, it definitely makes up for it with its fast-paced and enjoyable gameplay.

    Sudoku Ball Detective
    At the end of the day, Sudoku Ball: Detective is still your basic game of sudoku. The ball gimmick doesn't really affect general gameplay, while the four specific modes only benefit those who want some added pressure to their game.

    Disney Wizards of Waverly Place
    As stated before, Wizards of Waverly Place is an above-average game for the recent crop of Disney Channel games to come out on the Nintendo DS.

    Metroid Prime Trilogy
    The only real obstacle in determining whether or not you should get Metroid Prime: Trilogy is if you are currently an owner of both of the GameCube titles and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on the Wii.

    My Make-Up
    However, at $30, the title's price is far too high when you consider the too-precious save memory and the fact that there are other, similar and less expensive games available for the DS.

    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 2: The Siege of Spinner Cay
    You should play the first episode anyway because it's great, and this edition only continues the winning tradition.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Shadow Complex
    From the power-ups to the level design, Shadow Complex is a love letter to Super Metroid. The result is a game that is a heck of a lot of fun, although it would be unfair comparing it to Super Metroid.

    Wolfenstein
    Wolfenstein really doesn't do much to move the FPS genre forward, but it does manage to nail the fundamentals and offer a highly entertaining experience.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Wolfenstein
    I love Wolfenstein, if only for the brilliant single-player segment, which swishes together 1940s pulp-action sci-fi and straightforward gunplay with atmospheric adventure.
    • 71 Metascore

    Spectrobes: Origins
    This is a decent game, and kids will likely enjoy it for a while, but it falls well short of being any sort of modern classic.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Speed Zone
    Unfortunately, the third-party genre offerings on this console are not particularly numerous, and most racing titles out there range from the abysmal to the merely mediocre. But if the Wii is your primary console gaming platform, you're avid about arcade-style racers, and you can tolerate a steep, steep learning curve, Speed Zone may be worth a look.
