We already hit MLB 13 The Show, a good-not-great update of the amazing MLB 12 The Show, and now we're back with the far-inferior and frustrating MLB 2K13. Why does this game strike out?

Dead or Alive 5 PS3 Review
There hasn't been a Dead or Alive game since 2005 and the awful 2006 movie adaptation made most gamers assume that this franchise was, well, less than lively.

Brave is about to become the next major hit for Pixar when it opens in theaters on June 22, 2012.

Dragon's Dogma Review (PS3)
Dragon's Dogma, released on May 22, 2012, is finally here and Capcom has delivered a massive, engaging world for fans of role-playing games. Especially fans with a lot of time on their hands.

Inversion Review (PS3)
Inversion, released on June 5, 2012, is the new sci-fi shooter from Namco Bandai and tries to build on the fan bases for games like Gears of War, Resistance, and Killzone. While it brings a unique gameplay concept -- gravity manipulation -- to the genre, can it compete with the big guns?

Call of Duty: Black Ops Review (PS3)
One of the biggest selling games of all time, "Call of Duty: Black Ops" had not only a lot of hype to live up to, but a legacy as well. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" has been the go to for online shooter fans. They were no small army boots to fill, but "Call of Duty: Black Ops" is smart in not trying to be the same as CoD:MW2, but rather accomplish similar feats using a different strategy. Oh, and there are zombies... everyone loves zombies.
'Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13' Review (PS3)
Tiger Woods returns to the forefront of the golf game market with the latest installment in his hit franchise, "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13." Is it a hole in one or a double bogey?
"Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition" Review (PS3)

I'm not sure "Mortal Kombat" can hold its own against "Street Fighter 4," but they're...
'Twisted Metal' Review (PS3)

The MLB The Show franchise, a Sony PS3 exclusive, has been an award-winning sports series for years. Does MLB 12 The Show keep the reputation intact or even improve on what many considered perfection?
'Street Fighter x Tekken' Review (PS3)
Capcom tries to replicate the success of their hit "Marvel vs. Capcom" franchise with another crossover fighting game, "Street Fighter x Tekken." Is it another smash hit or does twice the fighters fail to equal twice the success?

"Killzone 3" Review (PS3)
"Killzone 3" shows off the PlayStation 3 like no other game to date. You can play it in 3D, you can play it with your PlayStation Move motion controller, you can play it cooperatively on your couch or you can play online, "Killzone 3" seems to be the Bo Jackson of the PS3.
"LittleBigPlanet 2" Review (PS3)
"LittleBigPlanet 2" is epic adventure in a tiny litle package. Sure Sackthing is cute and the adventures are grand but it's the user generated games that stole the world's heart.
"DC Universe Online" (DCUO) Review PlayStation 3 (PS3)
Reviewing DC Universe Online (DCUO) was a challenge. Part superhero action game, part MMORPG it's as if the "World of Warcraft" hooked up with "The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction" and had an baby out of wedlock, little baby "DCUO." The game is fun, but it's really neither game, "DCOU" is more than a hybrid, it's an evolution in the MMO...
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon PS3 Review
It may only be May but you won't play a DLC game more insane than Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, a spin-off of one of the best games of 2012 with dragons, cyborgs, super-soldiers, and more insanity than most '80s action movies. Is it worth the nostalgic trip to the future?
'Mass Effect 3' Review (PS3)
EA and BioWare deliver the most anticipated game of the year and one that closes out a trilogy that fans adore. Is it "The Matrix Revolutions" or "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King"?
Prototype 2 Review (PS3)
2009's "Prototype" was a decent action game that still paled in comparison to the similar "inFamous." Three years later, Radical Entertainment returns to the world of Alex Mercer with a more ambitious, action-packed, impressive game that defies all of the complaints and criticisms of its predecessor. It's the action release of 2012 to date.
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes PS3 Review
The LEGO series of video games has become one of the most successful in the history of the form. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and more have been the foundation for LEGO games.

Indigo Prophecy Review - PS2, Xbox, PC
Indigo Prophecy attempts to revive the psycho-thriller RPG genre. There are new twists, mini-games and movie-style cinematography, but the slow, deliberate pace is back. Think of it as an American attempt to produce a Japanese style thriller, in the vein of Fatal Frame or Silent Hill.
James Cameron's Dark Angel
The show may be gone, but Dark Angel lives on in your game console. Just as the show didn't measure up to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, neither did the Dark Angel game.

There's been a lot of talk about the pocket-playable Metal Gear. To be frank, it's a love it or hate it title. If you dig Pokémon, Yugi-oh, or Magic you'll adore Metal Gear Acid. If you prefer shooting to shuffling, then this may be the Metal Gear you can do without.

Red Ninja: Rise of Honor Review - PS2, Xbox
Red Ninja had potential. Everyone likes ninjas, and folks like female ninjas in skimpy outfits even more. Unfortunately this Tenchu-knockoff needed a bit more time in ninja camp, as it's a bit clumsy.
Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory Review - PSP
Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory, the name is oddly fit. Rengoku is an action RPG for the PSP that is neither heaven nor hell, though you may find yourself and your android avatar repenting over and over again.
Ridge Racer - PSP Review
Ridge Racer PSP is the launch title that shows off the PSP like none other. It sounds and looks luscious, it plays fast, and it puts the Nintendo DS version of Ridge Racer to humiliating shame.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Dynasty Warriors brought large scale battles to a new level. Romance of the Three Kingdoms slows it down a bit, and puts you in charge of entire armies in this strategy war game.

The Bard's Tale may end up being my number one RPG pick for this holiday season. It looks and plays great, in addition to being laugh out loud funny. Three cheers for the return of the Bard!
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction Review - PS2, GameCube, Xbox
Hulk smash lame superhero videogames! The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is one of the better comic videogames to come down the pipe in a while. Fast, lots of action, and GTA style free roaming fun... sign me up for some gamma ray treatment.

Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade
Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade is an action RPG that looks, feels and plays like Champions of Norrath, which may be because it's made by the same folks.
We Love Katamari Review - PS2
We really did love Katamari. It was the $20 freaky little Japanese game that could. It was constantly sold out at gamestores and even spawned homemade Katamari Damacy fashion, globally. It's no wonder than Namco would put out a sequel. We Love Katamari is the epitome of the postmodern videogame. It's self referential bizarrity will have you too singing, "We Love Katamari!"
X-Men Legends 2: Rise of the Apocalypse Review - PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC

Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament
If you liked Dragon Ball Z Budokai, you're going to like Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament. It has the attention to detail that will make any anime fan grin. But if you dislike anime or cel-shaded fighters, Yu Yu Hakusho may not be the spirit detective for you.
