At long last Activision releases a portable "Hero" game that I actually like. While Band Hero isn't perfect, it does offer more than just painful, hand-cramping guitar mechanics. This time around you can drum and sing, two modes that prove to be a lot of fun on the go. Throw in some fun multiplayer gameplay and Wii connectivity and you have a huge step in the right direction!

Dragon Age: Origins is an excellent RPG with a great story, an awesome combat experience and definite replayability points. I plan on making multiple rounds with this game – testing out my options and the different origins stories to get a taste of the extent of what this game has to offer. However, if you’re planning on picking this game up, do yourself a favor and get the PC version.

A solid standalone expansion to one of my favorite time-sinks, Armored Princess has enough new goodies and little bits of polish to make for quite an enjoyable time.

Fairytale Fights has one of the very best set-ups of any game this year, yet it's marred by repetitive gameplay, annoying combat, levels that go on forever and bosses that stand out for all the wrong reasons. Not only is this game a huge disappointment, but it's also one of the least enjoyable games I've played this year!

Regardless of whether you're new to the franchise or a seasoned veteran, LittleBigPlanet is one of the best games on the Sony PSP. It sports incredible graphics, tons of free downloadable levels, a robust level creator and, of course, Stephen Fry. This is one game I can see myself playing for years to come!

Left 4 Dead 2 took a great first-person shooter experience and added fresh new gameplay modes, loads of murdering and surviving accessories from melee weapons to adrenaline shots, all of which continues to satiate my desires for an FPS game that I can happily and easily spend a copious amount of hours on. If you’re wondering whether or not this zombie juice is worth the squeeze, I’ll say it most certainly is. Minus the TERRIBLE AI. So terrible, in fact, that it needed full on capitalization.

An interesting first game in the musical genre that tries something a little different. It's actually a nice little game that can be fun to play. The music's pretty good as well as you play farther in. I liked the controller but there could be some improvements in it.

NHL 10 is the best hockey game ever released. It’s the most complete, the most realistic, and the most enjoyable sports game I personally have played. Sure it has a few foibles, but they’re like sand in your shoe; a little annoying but easily ignored. If you like hockey, this is the game for you

One of the year's best Nintendo DS games has turned into one of the year's best PSP games. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars shines bright on Sony's handheld, bringing everything that made the original so much fun with it. This version sports improved graphics, sound and a few substantial changes that make all the difference. Until further notice this PSP port is the definitive version of Chinatown Wars!

Wait for this game to come down in price and then hope there are still some people left playing online. The multiplayer of Section 8 is worth playing but with a major lack of single player content, don't expect a large healthy online community in the coming months. Most players will have moved on to bigger and better things before this game's price matches its value.

Obscure: The Aftermath is a fun survival horror game that is marred by dumb AI and a lame story. But even with its problems, I still had a great time looking at the amazing visuals and laughing at the cheesy dialogue. It's not going to win any awards, but Obscure: The Aftermath managed to exceed my admittedly low expectations!

Lips: Number One Hits is a more polished version of the first game with some Avatar support. It's too bad you have to do a disc swap if you want to sing the songs from the first game. A nice little easy karaoke game for those what enjoy singing with easy accessibility for all skill levels

With its confusing title and convoluted storyline, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days has a lot going against it. Throw in some terrible pacing issues, awkward control scheme, repeating levels, dull characters and a complete lack of Final Fantasy, and you have game that shouldn't work. Yet I often found myself having a good time with this good, albeit flawed, adventure game!
