    Thinking about substituting Pong Toss for a Beer Pong table at your next party? Don't. You'll just end up with irritated friends, and you don't want angry drunks hurling Wii Remotes at your television.

    If you have a younger sibling or a rugrat of your own, sure, it may well be worth dropping 30 bucks on this thing to express your affection or shut them up or whatever you need to do. You probably just won't want it for yourself.

    The biggest drawback to Wings isn't the slightly gimmicky way in which Square Enix basically doubled the size of the game world overnight (by repurposing the existing world and making it older), but in how the retail game shipped with precious little game intact.

    Assuming you have dipped your feet in the pool of endless Dynasty Warriors content, it's almost absurd at this point to have to pay 30 bucks for either the PS2 or Xbox 360 flavor of what is barely more than preconceived, half-assed, tacked-on downloadable content.

    Though sure to keep children entertained and engaged for hours, this charming adventure will bring plenty of smiles to their parents as well.

    It's the game part of this game that stinks, and the rest of it should have just been a DVD.

    An uneven effort, MotoGP '08 is a decent game that should please most newbies and occasional riders but proves that Milestone has a ways to go before it fully grasps the handlebars.

    The difficulty quickly jumps from simple to insane, before you're equipped to tackle the tougher challenges.

    Boingz does provide a moderate amount of challenge (especially if you aim for a gold-medal ranking in each stage), and the springy little creatures kinda get under your skin with their attentive oval eyes and adorable aimless humming. The experience just seems better suited to a browser-based Flash game than a standalone WiiWare title.

    Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus is an enjoyable experience, and its strengths shine when played by two human opponents. Between two skilled players, matches are exciting and fun to play, mostly because the game's rules and mechanics require constant attacking and engagement.

    While pretty much the same game on either system, the PS3 version of Thexder Neo has a couple of advantages over the PSP version, namely an online multiplayer mode where you can complete stages with several other players (though it's somewhat useless, since you still have to finding fellow players of what is, to be honest, a niche game), and the inclusion of the original 8-bit version of Thexder, which is a nice touch for retro game fans.

    But it's frankly bewildering that Taito is charging $15 for an extremely marginal upgrade to a game that we played some 13 years ago.

    For Nintendo's Game Boy Advance, the action switches to classic side-scrolling 2D. Boog must make his way through several different levels using power-ups and the occasional assistance from superpowered Elliot.

    If Spirits & Spells were Halloween candy, it would be those weird peanut butter flavored taffies wrapped in orange and black wax paper. The ones you eat after all the good stuff is gone and it's either that or the jelly-filled hard candies.
