WarCraft III features four distinct races - human, orc, undead, and night elf -- each with unique units and special abilities. Manageably small parties of warriors are led by impressive heroes who carry over through the game's missions, bringing further continuity to the storyline. Heroes gain experience as they progress through missions, becoming increasingly powerful as the story moves forward. Special weapons and magic items may also aid the heroes as they fight towards their final destinies.
 
Imperial soldiers and Rebel insurgents are called back to duty in Star Wars: Battlefront II, a multiplayer-oriented sequel shooter based on the famous movie series. Like the original Battlefront, scenes are set in environments familiar from the films. For example, mission maps in the sequel have players fighting on the swamp planet of Dagobah, as seen in Empire Strikes Back, or defending Princess Leia's diplomatic blockade runner, as in the opening scene of the original A New Hope.
EA Games' Medal of Honor series once again deploys first-person shooter fans to some of the most heated battles of World War II, in European Assault. Players take command of a squad of specialist operatives and engage in critical missions in the European Theater. As they move through the storyline, players become acquainted with powerful, recurring characters that represent the most ruthless officers to ever serve in Hitler's armed forces. Actions taken in the field affect future missions, and the success of Allied effort overall.
One of Nintendo's most anticipated games for 2008, Super Smash Bros. Brawl continues the mascot-mauling series that began in 1998 on Nintendo 64. As in the two previous installments, players will choose from an assortment of major and minor characters from the publisher's prolific past, including such stalwarts as Mario, Pikachu, Link, and Samus. New to Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the inclusion of cross-platform stars Sonic the Hedgehog and Solid Snake, as well as such "slighted" characters as Wario, Diddy Kong, and Pit of Kid Icarus fame. Characters will engage in hand-to-hand or projectile-based combat within multi-tiered environments based on iconic locales. Yoshi's Island, Delfino Plaza, and WarioWare are but a few of the featured stages, each offering built-in hazards and a number of surprise twists. Super Smash Bros video.
 
 
EA Sports BIG's exaggerated-action football game hits the asphalt for a second season in this sequel. As in the original NFL Street, real-life stars of the sport head to back streets and abandoned lots for over-the-top games of pick-up style football. The enforcement of rules is lax -- both the rules of the game and the rules of physics -- so players can perform superhuman leaps and catches, as well as stunts like vaulting off a lead blocker to hurdle the defensive line, or throwing smaller players from the secondary as projectile weapons against the offense.

At its launch, the game is set four years after the events of WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos. The war-weary peoples of Azeroth are beginning to rebuild, but toward an uncertain future. World of WarCraft offers a total of eight playable races. Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Night Elves make up the Alliance, while Orcs, Tauren, Trolls, and Undead represent the Horde. Classes available to player characters include Paladin, Rogue, Priest, Hunter, Warlock, Druid, Warrior, Mage, and Shaman. Some classes are exclusive to characters of certain races; only Humans and Dwarves may become Paladins, for example, and only Tauren and Night Elves may become Druids. Other classes, such as the Rogue or the Priest, may be assumed by characters of almost any race. Each class is gifted with a selection of distinct, supernatural powers, many of which will be immediately recognizable by veterans of the WarCraft real-time strategy games.

While it's accurate to state that Golden Sun: The Lost Age is simply an extension of the first game (albeit one with a deeper storyline and limited gameplay enhancements), that would constitute an injustice to players looking for a wonderful "old-world" traditional RPG experience on the handheld system. Playing the original is not a requirement to enjoying The Lost Age because of a built-in concise recap of the adventure leading up to the beginning point of the sequel. But, despite this summary, players who missed the first game would be well advised to play it through simply to receive the full benefit of its rich and rewarding storyline. By necessity, many of the details are skimmed or ignored in the recap, but since the story is the central allure of the game, investing time in the original is a definite reward in itself. Rarely do stories in standalone sequels invite such a desire for retrospective continuity.
