    Despite Obsidian's fan-service, Fallout: New Vegas is a heaping pile of bugs.

    For those who prefer strategy and planning over the random elements of a game like Puzzle Quest, Clash of Heroes may be the deviously clever, deliberately paced game you've been looking for. It can be a bit rough around the edges, but it's also the smartest and most rewarding puzzle-RPG you're likely to play.

    An exceptional high speed platformer that accomplishes what Sonic has been trying to recapture for years now. The sense of speed and some fancy parkour moves are held back by some slight control issues, but it's a platforming adventure well worth diving into.

    Ultimately, Portal 2 is pure genius. With gameplay that never stops becoming addictive and new characters that always threaten to steal the spotlight, Portal 2 is one of the best games of 2011.

    While it has its flaws, Sanctum is a unique and commendable twist on the tower defense genre. The first-person shooter elements and incredibly fun multiplayer aspects offer a fun experience, and with the promise of new downloadable content on the horizon, the game is worth forgoing a few McDonald's Happy Meals to pick it up.

    Overall, Mayhem 3D lacks depth in many departments, but it delivers an average experience for fans of destruction racing games.

    The new approach to the stale genre ensures a fun single-player experience, even if it is a bit short-lived.

    The vehicles aren't the only thing with a mind of their own. The camera is worse.

    Had it been taken as seriously as other racers on the market, NASCAR 2011 could have been a very solid title.

    EA Mobile didn't really push to make Boggle a unique experience on the iPad like they did with Scrabble. It would benefit greatly if there were an iPhone download to input your letters so anyone playing could do so at the same time, not one at a time.

    Lego Star Wars III should easily be the best the series has to offer. With superior graphics and a decent variety of game styles, it easily overcomes any shortcomings in narrative. Unfortunately, the same problems that have plagued previous Lego games are still on display: difficult to control vehicles, overly simplified combat, unresponsive controls, glitches, drawn out levels, and poor guidance.

    Only the monotonous music besmirches an otherwise delightful atmosphere.

    If you already own some version of Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld, you won't have much reason to shell out the cash for this collection.

    The game may have been better suited for PlayStation 3.

    Uprising is for gamers who seriously enjoy punishing games.

    Like Strider before it, Moon Diver is a repetitive button masher that will enthrall you regardless of its shortcomings.

    Less successful as a game, but useful as an educational supplement.

    Bronze would be a lot easier to recommend if it were a $1-5 download on a phone service. Despite its very narrow boundaries, the game plays fine and is mildly entertaining in short bursts. At its current price, however, Bronze ends up looking (on platforms with such vastly superior offerings) like a historical footnote, at best.

    Fun to play but painful to behold, an ugly prom date with a "great personality." It's simple, fun, and terribly bland-looking, but if you've got that strategy itch and are reluctant to invest in a more complicated or lengthy game, then World Supremacy is worth a look.

    As an intellectual experiment, Dinner Date is interesting and even profound. As a meta-narrative about the social constructs that confront the modern man, it fascinates. As a game, it barely qualifies.

    While Majesty 2: Monster Kingdom doesn't reinvent any part of the gameplay, the change of scenery and units is appreciated, but in the end you're still playing the same exact game with a new coat of paint. The unrelenting difficulty, arguably even higher than the last expansion's, makes this entry for Majesty die-hards only.

    If you want a full Ridge Racer experience that makes one of the best uses of 3D so far and just so happens to fit in your pocket, then Ridge Racer 3D is a launch game that deserves your attention and immediate purchase.

    Quality issues aside, it's a fun 3D shoot-'em-up, and the PSP could use a few more of those.

    A party game in the purest sense of the term. It's the type of game you'll want to play in short bursts with a sibling or return to countless times with a group of friends.

    Ys I & II deserve their honored place in history, but from now on, they should probably stay there.

    The idea that looked good on paper translated into unfair challenge and highly monotonous gameplay on the screen. Sanctum of Slime will have you reminiscing about the days when the Ghostbusters franchise meant good films, not lousy video games.

    For what RIFT tries to do, it does very well. I rarely felt bored with all the random events and rifts constantly breaking up the monotony of questing. It's also important to give Trion a tremendous amount of credit for releasing such a "complete" MMO.

    THQ has done a fantastic job of cherry-picking the best elements of wrestling with some of the most recognizable characters and stars in a visually fantastic package. Unfortunately, it's a good foundation with some major holes. The lack of select wrestlers, missing match variety, anemic campaigns and pointless create-a-character undermine a very good wrestling game/fighting game fusion.

    It's fast, it's colorful, it's funny, and it goes down smoothly-in other words, it has many of the same things going for it as the Naruto comics themselves.

    An enjoyable game that's both enthralling and humorous.
