Buzz!: Quiz World
60
Quiz World has some rough spots, but if you've got a group of trivia fiends in your home, Buzz! has your back.
Left 4 Dead 2
100
If more Left 4 Dead is what you're after, this sequel has it. A lot of it.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
80
While technically accurate, the "New" in New Super Mario Bros. Wii is surrounded by all of the classic 2D platforming mechanics from Mario's past, making it more of a nostalgic product than something truly new. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
LEGO Rock Band
100
LEGO Rock Band's charming premise crumbles under the weight of a scattered track list and a clumsy execution that doesn't do justice to either LEGOs or Rock Band.
Chinatown Wars doesn't attempt to fully duplicate the console GTA experience, and the end result is a much better game than what PSP owners have received in the past.
To outsiders, the changes in Modern Warfare 2 might sound minor. But if you've played a significant amount of Call of Duty 4, they range from "neat idea" to "totally mindblowing."
Band Hero
60
It's Guitar Hero 5 with different graphics and a more diverse setlist. If you like these 65 songs, you should probably get Band Hero.
Torchlight
80
Runic's Diablo-like debut drills straight down to the core of what makes a great dungeon-crawling loot grind.
Tekken 6 is a great fighting game, but it's bogged down by a lot of extraneous baggage.
Grand Theft Auto IV
60
Without strong characters or story to rely on, The Ballad of Gay Tony highlights the ways in which open-world games have been refined and improved since the original release of Grand Theft Auto IV.
The third installment in the Mario brothers' handheld RPG series is the funniest and most engaging one yet.
Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time manages to play to its strengths while adding enough to make this the best in the series.
The gameplay is pretty clunky, but everything else surrounding it makes WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2010 a really interesting package for wrestling fans.
A Boy and His Blob
80
A Boy and His Blob is a charming all-ages affair that one-ups the game it's based on in virtually every conceivable way.
Almost in spite of itself, this is both a solid tower defense game and a good piece of fan service for South Park fans.
Forza Motorsport 3
100
Whether you're on the track racing or off the track tuning and designing cars, Forza Motorsport 3 is incredible.
Brütal Legend
60
The heavy metal fantasy world of Brutal Legend and the characters that populate it are far more well-realized and engaging than the ambitious-but-flawed gameplay.
Nathan Drake's latest outing is one of the most exciting and memorable action games in years, and one you need to play for yourself.
Lucidity
60
With an excellent visual style and middling gameplay, Lucidity tries hard to be more than average.
Katamari Forever
80
Katamari Forever doesn't change much about this quirky, long-running series, and you know what? That's totally OK.
