On February 1, 2011, Activision released the first DLC to see the light of day for their latest blockbuster hit in the Call of Duty franchise. Black Ops shattered the world launch record with more than $650 M in sales following the first five days of its November release, while gamers and fan boys alike have been impatiently salivating for the first extension to be released through Xbox Live. So after a week of persistent red eye and an astounding 1,200 Microsoft points later (translated to $15), how did Activision deliver?

Taking a page from games such as Demon's Souls, Mindjack claims to offer a revolutionary experience allowing any player in the world opportunity to enter your game as either an npc in your aid or actively take control of any member of the opposing force. As one of the freshest multiplayer gimmicks to be released in years, does Mindjack bring true innovation to the field or does it simply fall at the heels of the established hitters in the genre?

Who absolutely loves 2D anime fighting games?! Not you? Well, SHUT UP AND PLAY THIS GAME! BlazBlue: Continuum Shift is truly a 2D masterpiece, and even if you're not a huge fan of 2D fighters (or fighters in general), this game will keep you coming back for more...especially because you just HAVE to see all the character color combinations!! First developed as an arcade game, the BlazBlue series rapidly gained popularity and was soon released on consoles under the name BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger (the prequel to Continuum Shift).

Curse of the Crescent Isle applies a blocky world to present a tale of a kingdom attacked by an evil figure. Not a new story; Curse of the Crescent Isle uses a premise that has been used time and time again. What freshens up this platformer is a switch of perspective that is a rarity. Even with a twist using a dated game design crates issues at times that can make this game a chore. Though every chore is rewarding and Curse of the Crescent Isle is no different.

First released on October 29th , 2009 in Japan, Bayonetta first hit the scene with hundreds of crazy advertisements displayed around the country. Highly anticipated? I think so...and for a good reason. Publisher Sega (in cooperation with Nex Entertainment, PS3) and director Hideki Kamiya struck action-game-gold with this title...ok, maybe just silver, but the point is it was, and still is, a popular game.

Much has been touted about Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's new multiplayer mode. So much so that little was known about its single player component until the game's release. It may come as a bit of a surprise, then, to learn that Brotherhood's campaign is just as expansive and exhaustive as its single player only predecessors, Assassin's Creed I and II.

While keeping with familiar game play similar of other puzzle games, but adding elements to create an intense experience.

Who doesn't love a game where you can kill yourself over and over again? Well, if you're like any other poor college student, and sick of Adult Swim's "Five Minutes to Kill Yourself", Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable might be just the game you're looking for.First released on the PlayStation 2 console, Persona 3 didn't receive as much attention as the game deserved.
