After two years of nothing but rocky seas, Puzzle Quest 2 manages to right the ship and correct the course. D3's newest Xbox Live Arcade game is everything you could want in a sequel, from improved graphics to enhanced gameplay. Still, the freshness of the original is likely gone forever!

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair is a multiplayer game first and a single-player game second. This is a daring twist on a tried and true franchise, one that may split a lot of gamers. The good news is that this experiment mostly works, even if it comes at the expense of a proper single-player mode.

While there are aspects in the game that mimic some of the more expensive shooters out there, Blacklight: Tango Down just doesn't play well in a lot of areas. For $15, it might not be a bad purchase though for those on a budget and wanting another shooter. There are plenty of upgrades for the weapons and unlocks to pick up. Still, it's a bland shooter that needs some more work to really be a staple in your library.

Trinity Universe isn't quite the shining star I was hoping it would be. A complicated character augmentation system and a bland sense of exploration keep this adventure from being truly stellar.

Coming hot on the heels of The Beatles, Green Day: Rock Band feels like a big step down. But don't let that get you down, because Harmonix's newest installment of their popular Rock Band franchise is still worth playing through. Even if you only know a few Green Day hits, there's more than enough content to warrant the price. Now bring on a more established rock band!

With the easily accessible Arcade mode and the great degree of customization of the difficulty level in the more complex Simulator mode, SBK X will appeal to rank amateurs and devoted motorcycle racing fans alike. It provides a reasonably accurate representation of high-end motorcycle racing (probably) feels like.

I feel like a wimp saying it but; this game is too hard. Even on beginner difficulty it can be a struggle to achieve ultimate victory. I recommend UFC Undisputed 2010 to fans of the sport and/or the franchise only. Very few others will have the patience or the dedication required to become competitive at this game.

Sold as a retelling of Super Mario Kart, Blur ends up being a solid game on its own merits. The fast-paced races, exciting power-ups and fun online mode aren't marred by a shallow single-player career and a low supply of race tracks. The game's fun online mode more than makes up for any minor issues I have with the game!

Monster Hunter Tri has a lot of things going for it. It's the biggest adventure game on the Wii, has phenomenal graphics and offers gamers a robust online experience. Unfortunately it also has control issues, no story and a frustrating difficulty. Even with these flaws, Capcom should be proud of what they were able to do with the Wii hardware!

Skate 3 may not be the revolution we were all hoping for, but it adds enough to warrant a day one purchase. The game offers a brand new city to trick off of, compelling new modes, amazing online multiplayer modes and a fair amount of customization. If you're a fan of the first two games, then you're going to fall in love with Skate 3!

Dead to Rights: Retribution doesn't try to reinvent the wheel; instead it's perfectly fine wallowing in the franchise's past successes. With disappointing visuals, a lame story and an endlessly dreary backdrop, there's very little to like about this fourth Dead to Rights game. If Namco doesn't reboot this franchise soon Jack and his dog Shadow may become completely irrelevant. Perhaps we're already too late!
