Required playing from the week in video games.

ModNation Racers"ModNation Racers" gives the "'Little Big Planet' customizable level" treatment to the racing genre. Create your own tracks, upload them online, and drive your friends crazy by laying out a course that makes absolutely no f**king sense. Why does the road dead-end into a mountain? Why is that lake in the sky? Is that a bird driving a car? It's good to be in control.

Also in stores:
-- If wacky racing isn't your thing, try the slick, cinematic tracks on "Blur." Race your cars, like the Dodge Viper and Lotus Exige S, through London and the Los Angeles aqueduct. (You can even recreate the drag-race scene from "Grease"!)
-- Choose from over 100 fighters in "UFC Undisputed 2010," a UFC game so realistic, it features color commentary from Joe Rogan. Unfortunately, most of it is Rogan accusing Carlos Mencia of stealing his jokes.
-- Yoshi and Mario return for more outer-space action in "Super Mario Galaxy 2." If ever there were proof that the Mario brain trust is on a serious diet of hallucinogens, it's the "Galaxy" franchise.
