I Want
Modern Warfare 2 (PC)

Let’s keep it good and simple: Modern Warfare 2 is this year’s must-buy first-person shooter.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Xbox 360)

The newest entry in the Metal Gear series, this one stars the once hated Raiden with no Solid Snake to be seen.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)

Expanding on the original’s brilliance, this ingenious platformer only gets better by embracing the Wii’s limited capabilities and adds so many ideas, big and small, that we can ...

New Super Mario Bros Wii (Wii)

Nintendo saved the industry with games like this, so we’re sad to say the latest lacks the imaginative spark found in past entries. Easily the weakest of the 2D ...

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP)

Picking up where Metal Gear Solid 3 left off, play as Naked Snake in an original story by Hideo Kojima.

I'm playing
Punch-Out!! (Wii)

It’s extremely difficult to craft a game that hits the “fun for everyone” mark without it also becoming a dumbed-down mess, but Punch-Out!! expertly walks the line between casual ...

Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii)

With amazing bang for your buck, Metroid Prime Trilogy puts three great games in one. Sure, it may have the some minor issues present in all three games, but the ...

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (PSP)
It's definitely classic Metal Gear action, but this sequel to Snake Eater changes everything you know about the stealth series.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Four-player fighting returns with new characters like Wario, Pit from Kid Icarus - and yes, Solid Snake.
Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars (Wii)

Capcom should be applauded for having the confidence to bring TvC to the states - it’s an excellent fighting game that deserves to be played despite its commercial handicaps.

I've Beaten
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.
Super Paper Mario (Wii)
The paper-thin Mario universe gets some more mileage in this mixture of 2D and 3D gameplay - plus RPG elements.
The Conduit (Wii)

Finally a well-put together third party FPS for the Wii. Although the environments can be drab and enemy AI is undoubtably weak, this is bar none the best multiplayer experience ...

Metal Gear Solid (PS3)

The originator of the stealth-action genre, the original Metal Gear Solid comes to us again via PlayStation Network. Solid Snake, a retired military soldier, is ordered to infiltrate a nuclear ...

Need for Speed ProStreet (PS2)
Welcome back Need for Speed! It's been a long time since you've left us with a headache and sore thumbs. We've missed your awesome graphics and superior ...
Collecting Dust
Need for Speed Carbon (PS2)
When a sequel's not a sequel, the streets have no name, and the sun never shines - thank goodness the racing still kicks ass.
Soulcalibur Legends (Wii)
Some solid hack-'n-slash gaming that'll also make for a nice Wii tech demo to show your non-gaming friends. But in the end, Legends lacks lasting appeal.
WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2007 (PS2)
The best wrestling series ever goes multiformat for the first time, after years of being a PlayStation exclusive.
WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008 (PS2)
Rip up the squared circle in yet another game from the WWE. Hopefully the Bra and Panties match returns, 'cause frankly not enough games have that mode.
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop (Wii)
This Wii port of the original Dead Rising suffers from obvious technical limitations compared to the original, but this stripped down version is still satisfying on a very basic level.
I Love
Punch-Out!! (Wii)

It’s extremely difficult to craft a game that hits the “fun for everyone” mark without it also becoming a dumbed-down mess, but Punch-Out!! expertly walks the line between casual ...

I Hate
Nintendogs: Dalmatian and Friends (DS)
The same adorable game, yet again with different starter breeds.
Halo Wars (Xbox 360)

Halo fans rejoice! RTS fans grieve!

Need for Speed Undercover (PC)

Still a dependable source of middle of the road fun, but it sadly takes few risks.

Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
Master Chief returns to fuel another round of alien-smashing blood-bathery. What are you waiting for? Finish the fight!
I'm Tracking
Dead Rising 2 (PC)

The zombie apocalypse descends on Fortune City, and the hard-edged Chuck is caught in the middle.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)

Little is known about this just announced Zelda game, though rumors say that it will focus on Link's sword (that's not a euphemism).
