When it comes to racing, MX vs. ATV Alive is fun and calls for serious skill. The reset mechanics are aggravating, but I generally had a great time both on and offline. Unfortunately, most of the content here is imprisoned by a nonsensical unlock structure that requires immense repetition to get at. The only alternative is to pay extra money to unlock everything at once. Furthermore, with no tournaments in place, every event here is a single race and not a series. MX vs. ATV Alive is plenty of fun, but not nearly as complete or polished as other racers released during this generation.

Though on the surface it looks like just another "me too" indie game seeking to ride the coattails of Minecraft's success, Terraria expands on the familiar sandbox gameplay with a greater emphasis on combat and adventure that proves very satisfying. Fresh elements – like an absurdly expansive weapon crafting system, a broader scope of monsters to battle, and a slick retro 2D presentation – make it a stand out among the pack. Hell, it took all the resolve I could muster just to shut the game down long enough to write this review. That's rare indeed.

The First Templar is not good. Maybe with a bigger team, more time or a bigger budget this could have become something worthwhile, but it feels like an unpolished knock off. The sort of title you’d be disappointed if your parents picked up because it's not only buggy, but reminds you of all the other games that do what it does better.

In Dirt 3 a few scratches tarnish an otherwise impeccable product. It’s a superb racing experience and shouldn’t be missed. While the agent isn’t the best leader through the tour, and the garage is limited in its operation, the solid gameplay, variety of tracks and events, and overall fun factor make this a terrific game.

If you’re a longtime fan of the series, DOAD is a great addition and a fun homage to the franchise’s legacy. But even if you’re new to the series (or the genre, for that matter), this title is a great starting point. Weird cut-scenes and clunky use of the touch screen aside, this is a beautiful and fun game that fighter fans should make it a point to check out.

Dream Trigger 3D is an aesthetically gorgeous game with a really interesting premise that just never finds its legs. It's fun at first, but all too quickly becomes tedious. I'd love to see how the formula could be built upon and improved, because for a second there, Dream Trigger 3D was almost the refreshing new shooter I wanted.

Capsized is another fine example of what a small development team can accomplish with enough ambition and talent. The game is good-looking, entertaining and boasts a fluidity of play many bigger games would envy. Even with a handful of minor missteps, it's a clever, interesting platformer worth every cent of its asking price and every hour spent playing it.

The PSP version of LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean looks great, but the gameplay is practically identical to the 3DS and DS versions. It’s still silly LEGO antics, and it’s still fun, even if we’ve seen it all before. If you own a 3DS in addition to a PSP, you may want to consider the 3DS version, just because the 3D really adds to the gameplay.

Virtua Tennis 4 is a fun tennis game, after you dig through all the fluff: Mini-games and a needlessly complex career mode. If you already got your fill of Virtua Tennis 3 then there isn't a lot of new stuff in here, which is a shame, but it's still a very solid arcade tennis title. At least PS3 owners now get online play (in theory!), and Trophies this time around.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean is in its top form on the 3DS. Despite the lack of cooperative multiplayer, it’s a simple but fun portable gaming experience. The 3D really is a big addition in this case, as well, allowing you to see environments more clearly and complete jumps that would otherwise be much more difficult. And with the small number of 3DS games on the market right now, you could certainly do worse than LEGO Pirates.

The DS version of LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean is the lowest quality in terms of graphics, but the gameplay is practically identical to the 3DS version. It’s still silly LEGO antics, and it’s still fun, even if we’ve seen it all before. If you don’t care much about graphics, then the DS version will suit you just fine.

Luckily, though, anyone in the mood for some old-school emulated beat-'em-up action can find several great alternative options still on sale in the Shop. Take your digital dollars and invest in a classic like River City Ransom, Double Dragon or Streets of Rage 2 instead -- and leave Rival Turf to fall back into obscurity, continuing to only be remembered for the two teenaged punks on its boxart.

Moon Diver is a good game for the niche of gamers it’s aimed at, but it’s also inconsistent and flawed. Many old-schoolers like myself will prefer to play it solo, but will find the difficulty arc is so extreme at times that it will require some level-grinding to get through. And there are many better alternatives for multiplayer fans that provide a less muddled and confusing experience. Yet, Moon Diver has an undeniable appeal. Its smooth gameplay harkens back to an early time in gaming, and apart from that, there are a lot of stages to explore, magical spells to find, and characters to upgrade and strengthen. Old-school players should jump in with few reservations, but everybody else should think twice before subjecting themselves to Moon Diver’s delightfully archaic take on gaming.
