- Excitebike: World Rally posted on 11/11/2009
- A timeless classic and a legendary remnant from Nintendo's glory days, this NES motocross classic sees new life on the WiiWare service with this revamped racer. Reviewer Terry Terrones went into World Rally with high expectations, but walked away incredibly pleased at the new amount of content packed into this Wii exclusive.

- Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron posted on 11/9/2009
- Revisiting the once popular Battlefield: Long, Long Time Ago formula, Star Wars: Battlefront: Elite Squadron just didn't prove itself new or innovative enough to completely win over reviewer Aaron Koehn.

- Hero's Saga Laevatein Tactics posted on 11/9/2009
- Another entry in the ever-growing selection of SRPGs on the DS, Laevatein Tactics doesn't quite blow away the competition but still remains a relatively solid, if flawed, strategy experience for the DS.

- LEGO Rock Band posted on 11/9/2009
- The rhythm game genre is reaching a saturation point and LEGO Rock Band is yet another example of publishers actively looking at new ways to try and keep things fresh and interesting for the established fan base. Unfortunately, while the LEGO brand has been enough to help other licenses like Star Wars and Batman find new life, it just doesn't do enough to elevate Rock Band to new heights.

- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 posted on 11/10/2009
- Infinity Ward returns with a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Modern Warfare that has already stirred up controversy over the now infamous airport level. But don't let that distract you from the real discussion: is the game any good? Reviews Editor Tae K. Kim spent two days playing every available mode and his impressions follow. The game definitely has potential but its place in video game history will ultimately be decided by the fanatic online community who may take issue with some of the n00b friendly changes.

- Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (DS) posted on 11/3/2009
- With a successful outing at last year's Olympic Games under their belts, two of video gaming's biggest heavyweights return for the 2010 Vancouver-based Winter Olympics. A new Adventure Mode and plenty of snowy sports are just a few of the new additions to this sports compilation.

- Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble posted on 11/3/2009
- Even with copious amounts of fireballs, fan service and the occasional fighting kangaroo, many fighting games tend to take themselves a bit too seriously. Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble, the new side-scrolling brawler from Atlus looks to break that trend by introducing an incredibly silly storyline, zany characters and a heft dose of gratuitous machismo. Reviewer Nathan Meunier was pleasantly surprised at not only the game's tongue-in-cheek presentation, but it's fun and oftentimes wacky on-screen antics.

- C.O.P. The Recruit posted on 11/3/2009
- While not nearly as groundbreaking as it's console-based role models, Ubisoft's C.O.P. The Recruit serves as a solid sandbox title with some incredibly fun gameplay and inventive shooting and stealth scenarios.

- MagnaCarta 2 posted on 11/2/2009
- Even though it largely follows what very well could be excerpts from "The Idiot's Guide to RPG Plot", Heidi still found MagnaCarta 2 a relatively fresh and well-done role playing experience.

- Astro Boy: The Video Game posted on 11/2/2009
- One of Osamu Tezuka's most beloved creations was granted a silver-screen adaptation rather recently, complete with a complimentary videogame tie-in. Does this side-scrolling anime-influenced action title keep with the spirit of the fun-filled original anime, or does it fall sorely into quick cash-in territory?
