I give them props for trying to re-work the popular Most Wanted angle of this series, I just wish it was a bit more evolved instead of running out of gas too early.

The Baconing isn't completely devoid of enjoyment; occasionally you may stumble upon a fun weapon or two, such as poison arrows or a flamethrower, and the experience system allows you to choose what kind of bonuses to receive with each Level Up (such as faster speed, more health, etc). But without the laughs to back up the mediocre gameplay, not to mention the ludicrous difficulty, it might be time to bring out the oversized shepherd's hook and pull Deathspank off the stage.

EA really took advantage of the touch screen.

Although its single-player mode is way too short and the trick controls are completely mediocre, Carve is a perfect arcade-style online racer easy to learn but hard to put down.

APE is quite tactical, the control is good and it should keep fans interested, even with the fog-of-war, funnel levels, and pathfinding problems - a good RTS entry.

Wrath Unleashed does have nice visuals as far as character models go but landscapes during battles could’ve been a bit better.

I am sure if I was much younger or a weak gamer, I would take more enjoyment in the game, but I was left with a challenge-less adventure.

Possibly the single most important factor for a kid's game is control. The game will likely be inaccessible to kids under five unless you spend a lot of time coaching them.

I would highly suggest fans of the series to buy it even though the battle system is a little weak.

This is unfortunate because this series has the potential to reach a much higher standard of gaming but as it stands now, it’s nothing more than average.

And XND succeeds to large extent, offering a control scheme that makes the fighting easy for beginners to get into the game, while offering enough finesse moves and fast action for fighting veterans.

Spectrobes takes too long to get going – the digging is a novelty that wears off way too soon – and the lack of puzzles and/or interesting side plots and quests kneecap the experience.

NBA 08 feels like an almost finished game.

You can pick up the controller and start a game, without ever being completely lost.

The visuals are excellent, with the interactive backgrounds looking great and reacting perfectly.

While the game does have a solid number of modes, the gameplay seems to be too repetitive and lacks strategy that other games have.

The arcade action is a nice diversion (and fun) for half hour stretches but any long-term involvement is not likely – it’s just not deep enough. And the speed issues…

While it's a quick ride, action fans will get a decent time out of Van Helsing.

The main components of the Spider-Man 3 – the fighting, the webslinging in a wide-open environment, lots of villains – are spot on but most everything else just feels somewhat incomplete or at least unpolished, particularly the story.

A huge disappointment. The general concept is decent, but the game never evolves past that. The controls are frustrating, and the aesthetic / story of the game is such a yawn fest that only those with tremendous patience will be able to persevere for more than ten minutes at a time.

AoC doesn’t exactly bring any shame or disgrace to Empire Earth (EE), but it doesn’t do anything to make itself a must have for EE fans. That being said, most EE fans will like what AoC has to offer.

Although there are all kinds of these games out on the DS, this one is definitely worth your time.

First and foremost, this is the easiest game I’ve played for Xbox. Gaining and maintaining the lead is so easy that the only race I completely blew was due to a sneezing fit.

Jumps are a bit hard to do and some of the more advanced stunts are really a challenge.

With the combination of some of the absent design aspects, the forcing of micromanagement, and the sub par graphics, I can only marginally recommend this game.

A good game that could have been much better. As it is, the game brings a lot of great ideas to the table, but its lack of cohesion will distract fans of turn-based strategy, while action gamers are likely to be frustrated by the game's slow pace.

Fantastic 4 doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a straightforward beat ‘em up, action game.

Full of surprises and crazy conspiracies Bigfoot breeding? Lunacy weapon? Fake moon landings? Aliens among us? Puzzle Agent 2 contains a decent story along with a unique art presentation and plenty of mind-taxing puzzles to twist the second tale of Tethers into a title sure to entertain and challenge casual puzzle gaming aficionados.
