Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD may accomplish all of its goals, but there is still a lot to be desired. The graphics are outdated, the gameplay is missing a key component, there aren't enough levels and the create-a-character mode has been removed entirely. If you can get around these disappointments, you'll find a good, but not great, skating game for cheap!

With a couple of rocky Spidey games under their belt, Beenox proves they can do the webslinger justice with Amazing Spider Man. While the game borrows heavily from the Batman Arkham series, it modifies and integrates those elements into an engaging and gripping Spider Man experience that compliments and expands on the new movie. Though short, Amazing Spider Man saves the web-head from gaming mediocrity and delivers one of the better movie tie-in games in recent memory.

Inversion is yet another derivative third-person shooter with a gimmick. This time around you control gravity in the most limited way possible. Although there are plenty of strong moments, the game is ultimately brought back down to earth with the never ending cinemas, repeating bosses, ugly graphics and frustrating level designs!

Max Payne 3 signifies a new direction and developer for a series that has been well-known for its engrossing narratives and bullet time-focused gameplay. Unfortunately, the narrative begins with a thrilling premise that never quite manages to fulfill its grand scope. The gameplay is still addictive as previous games in the series, but occasionally suffers from instances of unbalanced difficulty and level sections that favor cover over bullet time. As with other Rockstar productions, the visuals, sound, and music are presented with the utmost level of quality. Max Payne 3 and the character himself are best compared with a love/hate relationship in which a majority of the aspects are entertaining and thrilling, while a few issues intermittently hinder the experience.

DiRT Showdown breaks new ground for the racing genre. New event types set it apart from other games in its field, but a lack of traditional aspects holds it back from extended player engagement. More tracks and vehicles would have provided a solid premise with the adrenaline rush it needs to maintain the excitement. The game modes don't prevent Showdown from becoming boring after only several hours in, so the thrills are short-lived.

The art style might be a hard sell for some people, and if that's the case they'll be missing out on one of the best new fighting game franchises in recent memory. Here's to hoping that Reverge Labs and Autumn Games can release a "Super Skullgirls" in the near future.

Confusion over the name aside, Mortal Kombat on the PS Vita is a must-own for any fighting game fan. Not only does it have all of the amazing content from last year's stellar console release, but it also features substantial new modes that are more than worth the $40 asking price. Without a doubt, this is the definitive version of Mortal Kombat!

Sumioni is a mixed bag. While it is a solid action game in terms of its foundation, the overall execution of the idea and obtrusive touch screen controls prevent the complete package from excelling.
