Passion alone isn't enough to make a game great. Stronghold 3 assumes too much of the user initially, and doesn't do enough to keep the village-building fresh and interesting. Bugs and instability plague the user and combat is still a bit of a mess.

Marvel fanboys should approach with caution and everyone else should probably save their money for the sizeable list of quality games on the way to the handheld later this year. Aside from satisfactory brawling and shield-throwing, Captain America: Super Soldier on 3DS fails to deliver. It's like Steve Rogers before the super serum - slow, average and totally uninteresting.

But considering multiplayer is inarguably the main course, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded won’t disappoint. While it lacks the charm of the original and the polish of other modern shooters, overall you’ll find a great experience that was just a few tweaks away from being amazing

Whether it's four-player local or online play – or any mix thereof – you need to play with others. Playing alone is, well, lonely, and results in frustrating and boring gameplay. Mix together a few classes, and the competition of players who can do better and each level becomes a frantic frag fest

It feels refreshing to be able to say that Sonic is good again. His upward trajectory over the last year continues and he's only gaining momentum. Sonic Generations is largely a game for the most hardcore of Sonic fans, but for the millions who have fond memories of narrowly dodging spikes, grinding on rails, or even that time he was a pinball, Sonic Generations is a game made for you.

Infamous: Festival of Blood is also PlayStation Move-enabled, and it works fairly well, but -- surprise, surprise -- you'll definitely want to stick with your DualShock controller. Infamous: Festival of Blood's gameplay-tight mechanics shouldn't be mucked up with motion controls.

Disney Universe provides an experience that can be enjoyed both solo and locally with co-op, so you’ll have options. Plus, the game comes with reasons to revisit stages and collectibles to keep you coming back for more. Disney Universe has its problems, but it’s a solid title bound to please its intended audience

Might and Magic Heroes VI may have some issues with battlefield tactics in the late game and its story, but the strategy remains a blast nonetheless. Near infinite hours of gameplay await, and anyone looking for a well-made and addictive turn-based strategy game need go no further than this.

Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi is beautifully flawed. It has gameplay that actually captures the unique complexity, spirit and speed of the franchise, which is no small feat. Like I said before, it manages to make the anime look dated, and that's something few Dragon Ball games have done. Yet such an achievement does not come without faults.

IGN defines a 10.0 -- a masterpiece -- as "the pinnacle of gaming, a masterpiece may not be flawless, but it is so exceptional that it is hard to imagine a game being better." That's Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. From start to finish, single player to multiplayer, this game sings. The characters, the graphics, the sound, the story – they’re all top notch. If you’re willing to skip Uncharted 3, be prepared to miss one of gaming’s finest moments.
