I Want
Okami (Wii)
Despite its gorgeous updated visuals, the otherwise great Okami fumbles with its awkward implementation of the Wii controls.
No More Heroes (Wii)
This action-driven, lightsaber-whirling game steals liberally from the best of other genres. Even with its less-than-perfect presentation, it works wonderfully on the Wii.
Deadly Creatures (Wii)
Deadly Creatures is a thrilling mix of brutal creature-crushing action and suspenseful exploration of vast 360 degree desert and man-made environments. Tarantulas, Gila monsters and scorpions... oh my!
Tomb Raider: Underworld (PC)

Fixing some of the issues that made Legend only pretty good, Underworld's focus is entirely on platforming, and it's all the better for it.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC)
The fourth Elder Scrolls entry is utterly brilliant and should not be missed by any adventure-spirited gamer.
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (PC)

There is little we could say to stop you from playing this if you're already an addict, but it gives you all you could want from a new expansion ...

Persona 4 (PS2)

It may be a little weird for some, but this JRPG is such an enthralling time, you’ll soon join its cult audience.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS)

An addictive new power-up system, gorgeous outdoor environments and tons of unlockable goodies make Order of Ecclesia another winner in the pantheon of handheld Castlevanias.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (Wii)

A bizarre, wonderfully trashy sequel, No More Heroes 2 adds a ton of cool new activities and boss fights without messing too much with what worked the first time. It ...

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (DS)
It’s got all the heart, some of the soul and a lot of missing plot pieces from the rest of the series, plus a unique gameplay concept. Too bad ...
Collecting Dust
Spore (PC)
SimCity creator Will Wright is creating his most ambitious simulation ever: one for the entire universe.
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Mario's first appearance on Wii launches him into outer space, where you tilt, bob and shake him across spinning globes in Mario 64 fashion.
Pokemon Diamond / Pearl (DS)
The biggest series in handheld gaming comes to the DS with 3D graphics, plenty of new monsters and the same turn-based battling and exploration that originally made its fortunes.
Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
A remarkable adventure in a melancholy world unlike any you've seen before
Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)
It's back: that mystical merger of Disney characters, Final Fantasy cameos and Action RPG combat against sub-human agents of nothingness. Weird? Oh, yeah. But also wonderful.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Four-player fighting returns with new characters like Wario, Pit from Kid Icarus - and yes, Solid Snake.
