The Kinect is Microsoft's answer to the Wii motion controllers and the PS3 Move wand-and-camera based system. With the Kinect there are no controllers at all - YOU are the controller! The Kinect literally reads your body movements.

While Front Mission is normally a mech-based Strategy RPG series, "Front Mission Evolved" is closer to games like Armored Core or Mechwarrior than its predecessors

Previous games in the Fable series have had a history of promising more than they can deliver, and Fable 3 is no exception.

A prequel in the long-running Halo series, "Halo: Reach" delivers more of the same basic gameplay that's been present since the original "Halo: Combat Evolved"...and not much more.

The prototypical third-person cover shooter, "Gears of War 2" is a solid rush of now-standard gameplay conventions and action movie dialogue. It has its charms, and is a pretty solid game, but isn't without its problems.

A fairly simple samurai swordfighting game, Kengo doesn't really have a lot going for it in terms of design or features. Largely devoid of content, Kengo pales in comparison to more fleshed-out members of the genre like Way of the Samurai.

Essentially a remake of the earlier "Butcher Bay" Riddick game, "Dark Athena" includes not only the original Butcher Bay campaign, but also a new campaign.

An old-school arcade-type beat-em-up, "Monster Madness" tries to appeal to the same kind of frantic multiplayer action that defined games like the Ninja Turtles games.

A fairly standard game from the "God of War" / "Ninja Gaiden" school of action games, Ninja Blade is dull in almost every manner. It doesn't feel "incomplete", per se, but it seems conceptually flawed. While it's not terrible, it brings absolutely nothing new to gaming.

Starring the classic barbarian hero of Robert E. Howard's stories, "Conan" is a sword-swinging testosterone-heavy hack and slash game that, while not necessarily innovative, is a fun romp in the spirit of the archetypical warrior.
