Street Fighter IV is a great game overall and Capcom should be commended for designing a game that can work on so many levels by appealing to both casual and hardcore players. When I reviewed Street Fighter IV on the PS3 and 360, I really grew to love it -- especially after sinking time into practicing with every character.

Not great, but well enough. If you play the game and just skip all of the collection crap (unless you have a ton of time to kill) and just simply move from race to race via the menus, you might be able to squeeze out an experience that isn't painful. But don't go wandering and expect to find anything cool - it's all just wasted space.

The Bigs 2 may not be the perfect baseball game, but it delivers enough pure fun to keep you playing with your friends for hours. Become A Legend starts fun and gets more and more annoying the deeper you get. The mini-games serve the game well for the most part, even if some feel out of place. There's no doubt that The Bigs 2 is an improvement over the original with bigger and louder mechanics built into the gameplay that help enhance things on the field. I advise those who enjoyed the first Bigs to head out and pick this one up for another fun trip to the ballpark.

Battlefield 1943 is an impressive package that sets a new standard for digital titles. You won't find anything new in terms of gameplay, but the seven-year old Battlefield formula remains a lot of fun today. This is a streamlined game that does one thing and does it well: online multiplayer battles. If that's your thing this is one of the best times you'll have on PlayStation Network this summer.

This disparity between excessive accuracy in the military hardware and the broken nature of the mission elements leads us to wonder if developers of games like this aren't being overly ambitious. I love having dozens and dozens of realistic weapons and vehicles and highly detailed geography and ballistics modeling, but the unintuitive interface required to manage it all and the irregularities in the scripting make it hard to appreciate those qualities.

If you know nothing about the story found in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, this game is not the place to start because it glosses over the facts and emotions of the real story. However, if you're looking to pick up your broomstick and take Hogwarts by storm, this title should find its way into your library.

As a prequel, Bound in Blood does a good job of presenting the characters, their storylines and what eventually leads back into the franchise history. It also packs in a ton of fast action, loads of explosions and a heavy dose of duels against opponents that want to take you to Boot Hill. Unfortunately, the repetitive nature of the missions, coupled with some technical issues, really keeps this title from standing out more. What's worse, the constant freezing whenever the game saves checkpoints breaks up the action, which really breaks you out of the flow of the gameplay, and is simply inexcusable.

If you liked the first Worms game on XBLA, don't hesitate to download this bigger, prettier sequel. If you were a bit bothered by what was missing from the first game, take Armageddon's trial for a spin and I'm pretty sure all will be forgiven. This is one of the most fun multiplayer games around, and now the single-player campaign provides a satisfying experience, as well. Few games offer the chance to wield a weapon called the Buffalo of Lies -- don't miss yours.

Overlord II is a sequel that is neither bigger nor better than its predecessor. The size and scope have been dialed back to something that is more akin to a straight action game. And since none of the frustrating elements of the first have been fixed -- namely the camera, control, and save structure -- this game just isn't much fun. No amount of British wit could bring a smile to my face as I treaded through the tedium that is Overlord II.

At the end of the day Fight Night Round 4 is, to put it plainly, a wonderful boxing game. There are certainly issues to be found in the new Legacy Mode, but it's much closer to what players want from a career mode. The online offering, while not hugely different from the previous Fight Night, still delivers where it counts. I didn't experience any lag in my fights and the World Championship mode will hopefully be something that fans cling to.
