Dead to Rights: Retribution is a lukewarm 3rd person shooter, whose redeeming qualities are overshadowed by overly repetitive gameplay.

The only experience worth calling fruitful from this RTS is it’s online gameplay modes. You can otherwise expect repetitive and dull campaigns tacked on with unresponsive and, quite frankly, idiotic AI units.

Despite having some handling problems and a steep learning curve, Moto GP 09/10 proves to be a worthwhile racing game. It won't make you forget about Forza 3 or the upcoming Gran Turismo 5, but it offers a solid online experience and more than enough single-player modes to keep you playing long enough to get your money's worth!

After botching the first game, Eidos is back to prove that they can make a worthwhile open-world sandbox game. The good news is that Just Cause 2 is an incredibly massive action game that I have no problem recommending. Unfortunately, it's marred by some strange control decisions, bad mission design and some of the most inconsistent voice acting I've heard in years. And even with those problems, I found myself falling in love with this over-the-top action game!

Metro 2033 is a smart and gritty game that relies more on its atmosphere and story than it does its gameplay. I consider that fact to be a gamble that ultimately paid off in the end. Gamers who understand and approach the game with that knowledge are in for a treat. Those expecting a non-stop bullet fest are going to be sadly disappointing. There is a lot to criticize here gameplay wise, but there is a ton more to love than just that, particularly in the incredible story telling within the title. In the end, Metro 2033 provides a solid package that I think a lot of gamers will enjoy if they give it a chance…

Long time fans of the genre looking to get their fix on the console(s) will find what they need here. Unfortunately, they are also going to find the things that hinder the genre on anything other than a PC. As I said, there is something here to be enjoyed, you just have to put up with and / or overlook some things in order to get there. Tropico 3 is a faithful port of the original PC game but is just out of its own element. It feels like you are playing the game through an emulator; the main game is there, but it does not feel like it belongs thanks to the control interface and graphical hiccups. True enjoyment of the game should be had with its original PC brethren, not a broken console representation.

You've seen Calling before. Even if you've never even heard of Hudson Entertainment's newest horror game, you have still seen its inspirations in The Ring, The Grudge, One Missed Call and dozens of other movies. If stumbling around in the dark not knowing what to do sounds like the kind of experience you want to have, then Calling is definitely one game you will want to track down. Everybody else should just let this call go to voice mail!

Although Last Rebellion feels dated with its still images in place of animations and abysmal voice and dialogue direction, the intriguing storyline and challenging battles make for a fun experience. This is a definite rent-it situation.

Are you a gamer? Do you own a Wii? Then you need Red Steel 2. In fact, this game is a reason to own a Wii all by itself. It delivers on the promises of the first game and then some, offering razor sharp controls, a beautiful art style one of the most visceral action experiences of 2010. There's really nothing else like it right now.

Square Enix really outdid themselves with Star Ocean: The Last Hope International. This is a huge, gorgeous adventure with a memorable storyline and plenty of cool twists. Better yet, it has some of the most compelling combat sequences ever found in a Japanese role-playing game. If you're a fan of traditional RPGs, then you need to play what has to be one of Square Enix's best console games in years!

MAG tries and does some things well. 256 player battles still seem too chaotic and the game relies heavily on having a good team which is hard when it's a public style offering. There needs to be more maps added and some balancing between the factions but overall, it's got the makings of being a good game if Zipper keeps on improving it.

An RTS/boardgame hybrid that's worth your $10, if you're into resource management. Although for the same price, you can get a new copy of Hail to the Chimp...

There's very little to love in Vancouver 2010, Sega's half-assed attempt to make a must-own game out of the 2010 Winter Olympics. This dud features confusing controls, lackluster events and only a couple of hours of gameplay. At least the game looks good. As they say: Don't go where the huskies go, don't eat the yellow snow and definitely don't buy Vancouver 2010 for the PS3!
