Shiren the Wanderer is an addictive and well-constructed roguelike from Atlus with a plethora of dungeons to conquer and a wide assortment of bosses. Reviewer Alicia Ashby walked away impressed for the most part, but was a little upset by Shiren's similarities to previous Mystery Dungeon and lack of an online component.
A stellar continuation of 2007's objectivist-fueled epic, BioShock 2 offers up plenty of worthwhile improvements and much-needed gameplay tweaks, all the while introducing players to yet another immersive chapter in Rapture's impressive mythology.
While Return to Ostagar looks great and offers up even more Dragon Age, it's still a painfully short affair that's devoid of any worthwhile character development, and probably not worth the trip for high level Grey Wardens.

An inferior presentation and broken AI co-op play keep this buddy sequel from succeeding on the PSP. If you want to see Salem and Rios at their absolute ass-kicking best, stick with the much better console versions.
Quirky, crass, and incredibly fun, Suda51's stylish sequel to 2008's No More Heroes slashes its way onto the Wii with even more boss battles, much-improved gameplay, and loads of worthwhile new content.
An improvement on just about every aspect of the original game, with the exception of one tiny aspect; the very final battle. Mass Effect 2 sees BioWare's approach to the role playing genre evolve beyond anything they've worked on previously, and gives us a glimpse of how both RPGs and shooters will begin to merge in the years ahead.
An outrageous, colorful and addictive brawler, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom offers up a diverse cast of characters and more than enough bonus content to keep both Tatsunoko and Capcom die-hards satisfied.
