Duelists can unleash more than 3,500 cards and battle through a classic good-vs.-evil campaign in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4. Based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's animated series, the story of Tag Force 4 finds the immortal Dark Singers reborn with incredible new abilities, and a desire to topple New Domino City. Those not interested in the formalities of a "Story" mode (that Konami claims is more than 300 hours long) can step right into the battling action in "Free Duel" mode, or they can use an Ad-hoc connection for four-player action or one-on-one battles. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

Featuring four separate game modes and visuals designed as a loving homage to classic 8-bit titles, Half-Minute Hero finds gamers saving the world from evil in 30-second intervals. Each of the four game modes is split into 30 levels, and each offers a different style of gameplay. In the RPG-like "Hero 30," players attempt to defeat evil lords by engaging in random battles (featuring completely automated combat), leveling up, earning loot, and stopping by small towns to recover health and purchase items. "Evil Lord 30" is a simple real-time strategy mode where gamers can summon three different kinds of monsters to dispatch a variety of monsters in each location.

"Princess 30" is a side-scrolling shooter in which a young royal and her squadron of protective knights fire arrows in all directions as they attempt to capture helpful items, and "Knight 30" is made up of a series of escort missions where players try to protect a mage from relentless monster attacks. The catch in every one of the game modes is that players have only 30 seconds to complete each task before the world ends. Fortunately for gamers, the apocalypse can be averted thanks to the venal nature of the Time Goddess, who will gladly turn back the clock for a small fee. Half-Minute Hero also features a multiplayer mode, letting up to four gamers compete in local Ad-hoc competitions. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

Following the top-rated simulation-style NBA game on PlayStation and Xbox consoles in previous years, the 2K Sports series expands to play its pro basketball on Wii and PSP with NBA 2K10.

New Signature Tendencies influence player decisions in the heat of the moment, and new facial expressions convey emotion while adding realism to the presentation. The 2K Sports "Association" franchise mode returns, offering almost complete control over trades across the league, and the ability to run real-time practices and assess how players work together as a team. NBA 2K10 also provides new defensive controls, which allow gamers to take charge of pressure, off-ball positioning, and shot blocks. For gamers who prefer to see themselves as the heroes of the hardwood, an enhanced "My Player" mode allows the custom creation of an NBA superstar-to-be, who can begin in summer training camps and try to earn a starting position on a favorite pro team -- with patience, hard work, and skills. Released in autumn 2009, NBA 2K10 represents the tenth season of the basketball series, with developer Visual Concepts creating the Dreamcast-exclusive original NBA 2K a decade earlier. ~ T.J.
