Rock Band comes to handheld, and while single player only, it recreates much of what makes the series great.

This mysterious new title from Ubisoft is set in a modern-day Chicago devastated by a unkown force.
I'm playing
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds (PS3)

Guitar Hero World Tour (PS3)
Guitar Hero branches out for its fourth core installment by adding drums and vocals to the mix, as well as allowing us to unleash our own musical creations upon the ...
Saints Row 2 (PS3)

This anti-GTA IV doesn't have the technical niceties (graphical hiccups abound) or Oscar-worthy story of Rockstar's magnum opus, but wins on pure fun factor and gleeful silliness. Co-op ...

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (PS3)
Indy hits the small screen in block form. It's fun in small doses, but not as consistently entertaining as LEGO Star Wars.

Start gargling that warm honey, because SingStar is back to Pop your socks off.
SingStar '80s (PS2)

Organized-crime strategy game that challenges players to become Miami's cocaine-peddling drug lord.
Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World (PS2)
