It’s been only a few short years since the music genre exploded with the release of the original Guitar Hero. Since then, we’ve moved on to forming full bands of plastic guitars, mics, and drums. Despite the progress, many feel the genre’s already on the verge of becoming oversaturated and stagnant. DJ Hero hopes to keep things fresh by exploring beyond pure rock music and adding a new plastic instrument to the mix. At $120, DJ Hero certainly isn’t cheap, but is the hip-hop fantasy it fulfills to a 30 year-old white nerd worth the scratch?

Remember when Diana Ross and friends brought soul into the land of Oz with The Wiz? In a different cultural twist, Beyond the Yellow Brick Road brings some Japanese flavor to a beloved classic by turning L. Frank Baum’s work into a turned-based dungeon crawler. It may not have Nipsey Russell, but is this reimagining worth the return to Oz if nobody’s home in Soulville?

Before spending time with Bakugan: Battle Brawlers, I have to admit that I knew very little about this adolescent phenomenon. In fact, aside from having to navigate past wide-eyed boys grasping Bakugan products every time I walk down a toy aisle, I’ve had no prior contact with the franchise. The game is clearly not aimed at me specifically, but does it do the cartoon and toy line justice? More importantly, will kids like this game enough to stay home and play it so that this thirty year-old man can peruse the G.I. Joes in peace?

Shipwreck’s Take: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games may cause gaming aficionados to chortle and pass it off as just another mini game collection aimed at an unwitting casual user base, but maybe it’s worth finding out why this series sold so well when it visited the Summer Games two years ago. It turns out, in addition to having two of the biggest icons in gaming on the cover, the original is actually a well-made game that (as cliché as it may sound) is great for the whole family.

Hero’s Saga: Laevatein Tactics is a strategy role-playing game for the DS. Charged with assembling a band of rebels to overthrow an empire ruling the fantasy land of Yulamecca, this title is full of grid-based isometric maps, classes upon classes of cartoon-like characters, and the gentlemanly etiquette of turn-based battles. Laevatein Tactics checks all the boxes, but does it make the right moves to stand out in the crowded SRPG battlefield?

It's been about a month and a half since I sang praises for The Beatles: Rock Band and based upon the outstanding sales it has seen in that timeframe, it is safe to say that a lot of other people are enjoying the game as well. I'm going to go ahead and assume my review was responsible for the game's success, but I'll throw The Beatles a bone and say that some of those purchases were due to their musical genius. You are now able to delve deeper into that genius with the release of the first downloadable album, Abbey Road. Does this iconic LP carry the weight of its $17 price tag or will you end up wishing you never gave them your money?
