It’s difficult to believe it was only last fall when Left 4 Dead first impressed upon us the importance of the buddy system when faced with B-movie inspired zombie uprisings. A year to the date later, we’re presented with a sequel that is bigger and more fleshed out than its campy predecessor. There are more missions, more infected types, more weapons, more items, and more game modes. The quantity of content is an obvious plus, what with the impending zombie apocalypse looming in our not so distant future. Sure, we’re going to need all the practice we can get, but does Left 4 Dead 2 sacrifice quality for quantity?

Last year, CAGs raised over $32,000 (up from $27K in 2007) for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. This year, let's see if we can hit $40,000 before the year is through.

For every $5 donated via PayPal through the CAG ChipIn system, you will receive one entry into a raffle with great prizes such as a $500 Amazon Gift Certificate. Every year, the CAG Community donates some really cool and generous prizes and I'm sure the tradition will continue again. I expect the prize list to grow and grow until the very end of the fundraiser.

The last time I strapped on a pair of shin guards and laced up some Sambas, I was on one of the best eighth grade teams in the state of Ohio. My coach’s name was Danny, our team was called the Fairfield Thunderbirds, and our white shorts were dangerously transparent if the forecast called for rain. These bits of minutiae aren’t likely to pop up in Football Genius: The Ultimate Quiz, but unless you are familiar with international soccer, the 3500 included questions will seem every bit as trivial.

Since the dawn of time, man has had an insatiable instinct to shoot dinosaurs in the face with high-powered weaponry. Sadly, our forefathers could not curtail their joyous expeditions and blasted these majestic beasts straight into extinction. Thankfully, modern men can simulate the thrill of the hunt by killing virtual dinos. Will Jurassic: The Hunted quench our carnal needs of slaughtering oversized lizards or does it somehow kill the dinosaur-hunting fun?

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?
