Wipeout Pulse
PlayStation Portable
SCEA's pet brand of almost terminally-groovy antigravity racing is back, following in the neon tracers of its predecessor, Wipeout Pure. Pulse sweetens the deal for PSP owners with an expanded career mode, online multi-player, custom audio tracks, with at least one caveat: It's brutally-demanding in terms of reflexes and precision on the part of the player.

Turok
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Consistently stunning, visually, as you'd expect from any old new-generation shooter, Turok is only sporadically fun, and you've played it before under some other no-neck name, and probably with an original sense of purpose.

Lost Odyssey
Xbox 360
To paraphrase a phrase, with great expectation comes great responsibility. Unfortunately, Lost Odyssey from master game maker Hironobu Sakaguchi of Final Fantasy fame, does very little to take stock role-playing gaming to another level, though the promise of such has been emanating from the Xbox hype machine for some time now. On the upside, Final Fantasy games remain the pinnacle of RPGs, and Lost Odyssey ranks right beside them... just not on top of them.

God of War: Chains of Olympus
PlayStation Portable
An excellent reason to own a PlayStation Portable, God of War: Chains of Olympus is an almost-perfectly excellent game to go in it, or a mostly-perfectly excellent game, depending on your half-full interpretation of half-empty glasses. Or mostly-full... Nevermind.

Dynasty Warriors 6
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Meet the new Dynasty Warriors game, same as the old Dynasty Warriors game, which was the same as the four (or more) other old Dynasty Warriors games before that, which makes Dynasty Warriors games, well, a dynasty. Not so much a memorable dynasty though, because, by now, they're all just one glorious hacking smear of vague memorableness.

Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Windows PC
Though "stand alone expansion pack" is something of an oxymoron, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts nonetheless expands on the original Company of Heroes to great effect. Plus, you don't have to own the original game to play this one. Follow?

Go Diego Go! Safari Rescue
Wii
Though Nintendo's Wii is the de facto console of "family fun," its game library does little to engage the entire family if said family happens to include a preschooler or two. 2K Play seeks to rectify that with a line of games designed specifically for tots, not the least of which is the new Go Diego Go! Safari Rescue, based on Nickelodeon's endearing boy hero show.

The Club
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Under blazing gung-ho gunnery there is zen-like simplicity to The Club that boils down to an experience akin to "wax-on, wax-off." That, plus rocket launchers.

Devil May Cry 4
PlayStation 3
Fourth in a series, the latest Devil May Cry game rides the cutting edge of visual sumptuousness (and curious wardrobe choices) until it bleeds and then wraps it all in classically excessive drama. Fortunately, unlike the previous three crying maybe devils, anyone can play 4 and actually have fun, too.

Pirates of the Burning Sea
Windows PC
Just a handful of years ago, pirate-enthusiast gamers were really getting the short end of the plank; they had few choices, and half of those had either already been around a long time or were just weak. Today, thanks largely to the pirate-mania resurgence fueled by a certain movie franchise, wannabe Sparrows have options again -- and Pirates of the Burning Sea is one of the best.
