On the outside chance that some nameless gamer out there is thinking about picking up Rumble Roses XX on the basis that it will provide an excellent wrestling experience, I should plainly state, that the actual wrestling action is just average.

An original and innovative game, but, more importantly, it is great fun. I’m not sure there is any game this year that I’ve had more fun with.

Although I wasn’t one of the many that figured Blazing Angels to be the spiritual successor to "Crimson Skies," I did expect a bit more than just an average experience peppered with frustration and a poorly thought out control scheme.

Yes, it's a blatant rip-off of Grand Theft Auto. So were a lot of other games - but at least The Godfather is a good rip-off of the genre setter.

However, as a whole, it seems to be more a welcome mat for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. Still, as long as you can put up with the awkward system, Metal Gear Acid 2 is a worth checking out.

Yes, it's a blatant rip-off of Grand Theft Auto. So were a lot of other games – but at least The Godfather is a good rip-off of the genre setter, unlike some embarrassingly awful games (the putrid "Driver 3" and equally dreadful "25 to Life" come to mind).

I already can‘t wait to see what the series has in store next.

Puzzle fans should be all over this – besides the classic Tetris there are enough variations to keep the challenge consistent.

Metroid has been taken into first-person shooter territory and has done so with a rock-solid multiplayer experience.

The sound is phenomenal, just like the graphics.

It’s got everything; humor, excellent cutscenes, great graphics and strong gameplay. What more can you ask for?

It’s also over rather quickly, with very little in the way of replay value. Still, it’s a great looking package with a solid game attached, which is more than can be said of most licensed titles.

Although it could’ve used an easier difficulty setting for the single player mode, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is otherwise one of the best action-strategy games to come out in a long time.

Even if you don't compare it to the 360 version, the game either comes off of an unbalanced first person shooter or a neutered action-strategy sim.

The game sounds just as good as the visuals, except for some voice acting. Voices are a real mixed bag between great or ridiculous. Sound effects are good and the music keeps things tense.

The graphics are great, the soundtracks fit the action, the sense of speed is incredible, the online modes add some depth, and the destruction is awesome.

As a puzzle game for short and long play sessions Pokémon Trozei! should have offered more modes of play.

Joins a crowded arena of decent real time strategy games. It doesn't stick out much from the crowd, except for its license.

When you're playing Black you won't be thinking about anything but the incredible gameplay, unfortunately it will also be over before you know it.

Graphically, this game is very impressive. The players are very detailed and have lots of nice animations. The players can even get their clothes all dirty. Everything looks and feels realistic and players will actually feel like they are in a baseball stadium.

Open for Business will require you to put aside the leisurely pursuits of your Sims, roll up your sleeves and put in a hard day’s work to succeed. But in gameplay and fun, this is the most rewarding payday you’ll find in any Sims game.

The A.I. predictability coupled with linear game levels somewhat dampen the invigorating, bullets-flying-everywhere gameplay that will have your ears ringing from gunfire hours after playing.

A very good real-time strategy game and the best that has featured the Star Wars franchise (regardless of what I said about Galactic Battlegrounds).

Gamewise? Think candy - I liked the game in small doses.

This makes practically every other strategy game on the market feels like child's play.

As it stands, it feels like Namco just didn’t know where to draw the line on content for this game.

C&C: The First Decade will have all C&C aficionados waxing nostalgic for the good old days of GDI versus Nod, Kane and Yuri, and of course, Tanya, the sexiest female gaming character next to Lady Croft.

Despite its few technical faults, Chibi-Robo is a deviously charming little game, with an addicting quality that makes it hard to put down.
