Assassin's Creed review: If you focus solely on the missions and don't want to experience what makes the game awesome than it could get repetitive. The story's ending is so-so, but only because it leaves you wanting more. None of these things hinder the game's climbing and assassinating experience, which is precisely why it's so damn fun. -- Mike Palermo

Beowulf review: Additionally, the challenges often bring fun tags like â€œsave the virgins,â€ but they usually just add more frustration to the gameplay.In this day and age, it shouldnâ€™t come as a surprise that a game based on a movie fares poorly, but for a character who has survived since 700AD, he deserves better treatment than this.

Beowulf

Beowulf review: Beowulf is a combat-driven action adventure game set in the realms of Nordic mythology. Arrogant, self-serving and lustful for gold and glory, as Beowulf you will journey to Denmark to destroy a bloodthirsty beast wreaking havoc on a frigid land.

BlackSite: Area 51

BlackSite: Area 51 review: As is, Blacksite: Area 51 isn't a bad game on any level, it just has a few annoying issues. In its current state I can only recommend this title on a rental basis or wait till it's fewer than 30 bucks. -- Brian Peterson

F.E.A.R. Files review: To be fair, Extraction Point is somewhat better than the newer Perseus Mandate, but even so itâ€™s too short to be truly noteworthy. There are moments here and there that make the experience decent, but the overall package is lacking. Do yourself a favor and wait for Project Origin rather than picking this up.

Guitar Hero 3: Legends Of Rock review: Beyond its easiest setting it may be too hard for some uncoordinated, quadra-spaz-fingered buffoons like me, but practice - as in all games - does (I’m assured) bring its rewards. Now, where's me guitar?

Halo 3

Halo 3 preview: Halo 3 players will be able to continue the fight as Microsoft announced three all new multiplayer maps to be released on Dec. 11 as part of the Heroic Map Pack, the first in a series of downloadable content from Bungie Studios to come via Xbox LIVE.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men review: ” The soundtrack is also fitting, delivering some anxious music when appropriate.Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a solid heist game and a solid co-op game. The premise is very interesting but some of the core gameplay isn’t as polished as some of the other shooters you’ll find this holiday season. Thus, while the game is solid, it’s competing against a flood of amazing games.

MX Vs ATV Untamed

MX Vs ATV Untamed preview: MX vs. ATV Untamed features bigger, more populated outdoor open-world environments, an X-cross career mode showcasing all eight vehicles and the all-new EnduroCross mode pitting gamers against logs, rocks, mud-pits and more, and illustrating the full potential of the game's Rhythm Racing physics engine.

Need For Speed ProStreet

Need For Speed ProStreet review: While Need for Speed: ProStreetâ€™s departure from the tried and true NFS formula may turn away some fans, I happen to like the direction that EA is taking the series. Of course, knowing EA, Iâ€™m sure theyâ€™ll change it up again next year. NFS isnâ€™t the most innovative or even the best NFS title to date, but it is worthy of a purchase if you are into street racing. -- Brian Peterson

Race Driver: GRID

Race Driver: GRID preview: And in the Far East, Japanese racing culture sets the tone where night races, including Drift racing, takes drivers through neon illuminated cities and to outlying mountain roads. There's also the opportunity to compete in races that operate on the fringes of legality in the back streets and industrial areas of Yokohama.

Rock Band

Rock Band review: Meanwhile, the visuals throw you into a world of music videos with their close-up camera angles and grainy filters. And, as usual, the writing in tutorials, menus, and loading screens has that entertaining sarcastic spin. As a solitary experience, Rock Band is exciting but limited. Play it the way its title suggests, as a band, and this holiday release is hard to beat.

The Golden Compass review: If you were hoping to be swept up in the narrative, this game also ignores critical plot points from Philip Pullmanâ€™s brilliant story, leaving much guesswork to the gamer. It pains me to say this, but turn off your TV and just read the book or head to your local theater. This is a story everyone must experience, just donâ€™t try interacting with it.

The Golden Compass review: Had the game had another six months to a year of development time, many of its problems and rough edges might have been smoothed and the score below perhaps doubled, a fact that will bring little comfort to either the development team or little Timmy this Christmas.
