F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin(Xbox 360, PS3) – The sequel to the much-lauded first-person shooter F.E.A.R. is twice as scary, twice the action, and twice the weaponry. You’ll be looking over your shoulder for evil spirits while blasting away at enemies with heavy firepower and an assortment of Mechs. It’s not for the faint of heart.

NASCAR Kart Racing (Wii) – Imagine the game as Mario Kart but featuring your favorite NASCAR drivers. The game features Kyle Busch, Jeff Burton, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and others.

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (PS3, Xbox 360) – For those old school heads who lived by their Sega Genesis, this one is for you. This collection features such Genesis classics as Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Columns, Ecco the Dolphin, four Phantasy Star titles, Zaxxon, Altered Beats and more.

House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii) – The Nintendo Wii is losing its innocence with this one. It’s one of the few M-rated for the system, HOTD: Overkill is a zombie killing game with a B-movie vibe. So expect all the blood, cursing, and violence at the forefront. This one isn’t for the kids.

LocoRoco 2 (PSP) – The sequel to the beloved Loco Roco now includes new levels, the ability to swim, and a bunch of new, cute little songs. If you liked the first one, the second one is a definite must have game.

Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad /Bikini Zombie Slayers (Xbox 360, Wii) – The Onechanbara is a popular Japanese hack-n-slash action game that follows Aya, a cowgirl who wears a bikini, wields a katana, and kills zombies for a living.

Deadly Creatures (Wii) – Deadly Creature is a cool idea for a fighting game. You get to play as different creatures like scorpions, tarantulas, a variety of reptiles and other insects and do battle against each other.

Retro Game Challenge (DS) – The game is based on the Japanese TV show, Retro Game Master, where a comedy duo plays Japan’s most popular video games where they record their progress during a time limit challenge. The games that are in Retro Game Challenge are actually original mini-games with the same sort of gameplay from the games played on the show.

X-Blades (PS3, Xbox 360) – It’s an action adventure Japanese hack-n-slash with you playing as Ayumi, a warrior who carries a pistol-blade. She actually carries a variety of weapons and has the power to cast spells. This anime-based title could be worth checking out.

USA Today's Puzzle Craze(DS) – The game consists of different word puzzles where beating the puzzles lets you move up from the mailroom to editor-in-chief of USA Today.
