If you enjoy Trivial Pursuit, this title is a must-have in your collection.

Still, all in all, the fun racing action and the budget price tag incline us to recommend this game. It's a lot of fun and takes a good day of gameplay to conquer, making for a nice value-to-cost ratio.

It would be nice to have a decent third-person shooter on Wii, but Battle Rage isn’t even close to being that shooter. That’s a little disappointing, but hardly surprising for a console whose non-Nintendo offerings have been, with very few exceptions, embarrassing.

Those who have been longing to complete their Samurai Shodown collection and its cast of legendary characters should pick this one up.

With just one substantial game mode, poor controls, and tacked-on unlockables, you'll get bored with this game in less than an hour.

This is a good pick for the younger gamers or casual players in your life. Beware, you just might find yourself enjoying it too.

Just be sure you know what you're getting yourself into with this version of the game, as this mature character and the teen ESRB rating don't seem to mix well.

Orc Lords doesn't reinvent the genre, but it doesn't have to. It keeps us busy, entertained, and challenged.

I doubt anyone will play this game more than once.

And why has so little respect been shown to this mythology. Granted, it’s going to be difficult for anyone to make an interesting Zorro game in an age where fragging rules, but The Destiny of Zorro is a total mess of a game.

There are tons of great options, right down to the ability to play ball as school mascots. The Road to Glory is a great premise, though it's also admittedly shallow and repetitive. In the end, however, EA Sports threw in everything, including the kitchen sink.

There's really nothing broken about Escape the Museum; it's just really, really boring. From the lifeless visuals, to the terribly antique gameplay, it offers little real entertainment. Were it a $10 WiiWare title, this game still wouldn't be at all compelling.

An overriding sense of "been there, done that."

Despite the lack of the heralded online modes from the console versions of Madden NFL 10, there is still a ton of content packed into the PSP version that will keep you playing for a long time to come.

There’s a full day’s worth of material here and lots of unlockables. However, it gets repetitive, and we encountered an apparent glitch that stopped us from beating the game.

If you're looking to hook up with a few friends for some solid multiplayer baseball, this isn't the game for you. You might be able to muddle through poor mechanics, but why would you want to when there are better options out there?

The obligatory checklist of unlockables is present here, but it's not enough to really sweeten the pot. The gameplay feels like it was phoned in to the programmers by the creative team, and the overall execution is really sloppy.

There are enough gameplay elements to take your mind off how bad this game is for a while, but it eventually catches up to you.

The innovations here, particularly the cover system, open up a world of possibility, but it doesn't seem like the developers were up to exploring too much of that world.

G.I. Joe PSP comes with a myriad of faults and only a small handful of redeeming qualities.

The overall lack of complexity and repetitive nature of the gameplay will seriously reduce the time you'll spend playing this game. It shouldn't take you longer than a weekend to win this war.

There's not much to this game, but what is there is done well enough. The younger audiences will have hours of fun with the pint-sized heroes.

There's certainly no shortage of content in Race-O-Rama, and quite a few of the tracks are truly enjoyable. However, the overworld has had little love put into it, and there are many minor issues and bugs that come together to create a fairly uninspired package.

The story is lengthy and there are plenty of extras to find after finishing, but the gameplay is derivative and can drag at points.

At only twelve levels, this game is incredibly short. But, in the case of ATG, that's a blessing.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 isn't a revolution for the series, but it is a hefty package comprised of solid parts.

Fans abroad have consistently praised other versions of the game for its uniqueness and difficulty. However, Pop'n Music for the Wii doesn't feel unique or difficult; it just feels like a lot of frustrating shaking set to bad music.

The fact is, this is a fundamentally sound game that, at the very least, lasts a long time and will provide respite from a considerable amount of boredom.

Combat can be mildly entertaining for a short while, and there is a neat selection of superpowers to tinker with. In the end, though, the game's problems are piled sky high, making it simply too frustrating to be worth bothering with.

There's a good amount of content and game modes, but it's all based on the terrible core gameplay mechanics.

While the annoying whine of the vehicles is pretty accurate, the crowd noise is sparse and artificial-sounding. Worst of all, the pop-metal that loops in the background is enough to make you want to huck your PSP against a wall.

A barely playable arcade game with no lasting replay value.

There's only a single-player mode, and honestly, I can't see why anyone would want to play this game for more than a few minutes. It really is that bad.

None of these games is perfect, but all of them will draw you in, and for $20 most gamers would be insane to pass this up - provided they didn't already acquire these titles through XBLA.

Smash-up’s online gameplay is more functional than Brawl, though it still doesn’t live up to expectations. The extras and unlockables aren’t that interesting, but the game’s good fun when played locally with friends.

Scooby Doo! First Frights goes where many games have gone before, but it's a respectable title fans should enjoy. Levels are often huge and interesting to explore, and ultimately, the developers make fun use of the license.

Battle of Giants: Dragons is a pretty tight package, but it's presented with little consideration for the player. The gameplay is absurdly obtuse, with objectives that amount to little more than slowly meandering through uneventful levels and engaging in battles that yield little reward.

Madagascar Katz is a perfectly solid kart racer, and it is definitely not the "cash-in" that I was expecting it to be. Though parents and young kids will probably pick this title up based on its name alone, they are actually in for a treat, as the game behind the license is actually quite good. Although the game's difficulty may be a turn-off for some younger or inexperienced players, I found the game as a whole to be very refreshing.

Good FPS but not worth full price. Limited replay value.

Perhaps multiplayer competition between DSi owners would have been just the thing this one needed.

The game's quite easy to start with, because they give you the ladders you need, but it can get pretty frantic after a while, especially if you manage to unlock the other difficulty levels (there are four).

The controls in this Domo game are a bit more complex than in the other ones, though that's a good thing because it allows you to do what should be done.

he game also includes a mixer to practice songs, but the buttons to change venue, tempo, and difficulty didn't exist on my copy of the game, so I couldn't even try this out. Weird!

This game isn't particularly fun compared to Hard-Hat Domo, Pro-Putt Domo, or even Crash-Course Domo, but if you must have the collection, it's also not that bad.

The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun will not revolutionize the cartoon to video game market. However, it does do something that tends to be rare with these games - it delivers on the experience fans have come to expect.

It's still possible to have fun racing in this game, but given the steep learning curve and plethora of other Wii racing options, there's no answer to the question of, "Why bother?"

Repetition is the biggest enemy here. It's not a bad romp, if you have the patience.

Chaotic: Shadow Warriors is mostly solid, but uninteresting and repetitive gameplay, along with an overall lack of polish, make it a lackluster experience difficult to recommend to fans.

With only a small selection of mini-game events and options, families aren't likely to get much value out of Playmobil Circus.

It's a really short adventure, and though the various elements are all really well polished and fun, they're also way overused. The entire experience feels very formulaic.

MLB 2K10 is a decent game, and I almost want to tip my hat to 2K for including PS2 owners in their line-up. But the core mechanics aren't innovative; certain elements of the gameplay are cut back too much, while others are convoluted and unintuitive.

Whether you're paying $5 or $9.99, this is a worthwhile buy, providing hours of fun and lots of play options.

Not only is the price outrageous for the amount of game you're getting, but the game you're getting is absolutely terrible.

If you can get a group of friends to partake of the Ad Hoc multiplayer mode, you will generate a bit more enjoyment from the game listening to your friends freak when they can't control their Core. Misery loves company.

Entertaining for a few short hours at best.

For puzzle gamers who want to test their reflexes and are on tight budgets -- especially small kids who can't handle more complicated tasks -- it's a decent buy.

Although collecting monsters with the camera can be confusing and tedious, the battle system is rather good. Being able to fight and trade monsters with a friend wirelessly is also a welcome addition.

Though the Xbox 360 version does have a more organic-feeling control system , avatar integration, and a lower price point, if you consider yourself a PC-only gamer, you should definitely check this one out!

The tone of the story is, after all, quite a departure from the franchise's previous two outings. However, the amusing dialogue, fun gameplay, and delightfully absurd missions make this a must-buy for everyone, whether by download (in which case it requires a copy of GTA IV to run) or on disc with The Lost and Damned.

The sheer amount of content in The Lost and Damned is truly impressive considering its modest twenty dollar asking price.

It's a really short adventure with very few trimmings. Multiplayer, however, is a big plus for the game.

It's a nice little diversion, one that adds a decent twist to an old classic arcade game. Sometimes being a reasonable time-waster is all that a game needs to accomplish.

A strategic and deep game lies beneath a simple and casual game despite the lack of story-driven gameplay. The lack of an active online player base makes finding online matches difficult.

There's basically nothing to keep you coming back. The inclusion of Download Play is nice, but likely will rarely be used.

The adventure is over in a flash, and though DGamer is still one of the strongest social networks on DS, it hardly makes the ends meet.

The game is competent, but it alternates between short, and usually decent, platforming segments and tedious sections of puzzle-solving. Also, you can beat the game in the amount of time it takes to watch the film twice.

NCAA Football 11 has great gameplay, but very few improvements make it hard to recommend.

Despite a lack of story, the puzzle side of the game is very solid and fun to play.

The puzzles are well done, as usual, and the rest of the game is fun too.

Play this game for the rest of your life if you want.

So who is the intended audience for Cabela's North American Adventures? Not gamers, whether hardcore or casual, that's for sure.

Lots of card combinations. Solid Yu-Gi-Oh gameplay.

There's only a handful of chapters, and the gameplay is repetitive and uninspired. The few solid elements presented here are appreciated, but they don't come close to adding up to a fun gameplay package.

In spite of its flaws, Ubisoft offers a hefty selection of options and gameplay. Just Dance Kids needs work, but it's still a valiant effort all the same.

Curious to see what a decent platformer was like on Atari 2600? Then, Yogi Bear on Wii might make for an interesting history lesson. If you're after contemporary fun, however, steer clear of this unimaginative drek.

One of the worst party games ever invented.

As a sequel to Beyond the BattleBox, this game not only fails to stake new territory for the series but it refuses to move out of its parent's house.

First you must consider the target audience of adolescent girls and take into consideration that they may not play as many videogames as their brothers or male classmates. That being said the game has some depth to it that is quite welcoming as it plays out like a puzzle game mixed with platforming and yes, it works.

As it is, the AI puts on a good show but it doesn't react quite the same when you get right in its face when it loses.

From the graphics to the gameplay, to the lack of any multi-player modes or saves, this is another XS game to stay away from. XS Games is really making a reputation for itself. I wonder if they had any hand in developing Nokia's N-Gage?

The most impressive feature of Smashing Drive is the graphics, which ironically was the least impressive feature when it was released for the Xbox and the Cube.

It's relatively easy and may not offer enough of a challenge for serious gamers.

Unfortunately the accuracy of the weapons is low. The controls are loose and sometime they don't even register a command. Very sloppy.

Blades of Thunder reduces the thrills of chopper combat to that of delivering crates of Kentucky Fried Chicken to remote Indian reserves in the Canadian wilderness.

As I've said in other poker reviews, you can download programs and play online for free, against real players. And the best part is that you don't have to play for real money.

About the only thing the developers got right are the graphics. Considering how low-res they are, it's not much of an accomplishment.

Even at the budget price of fifteen bucks, save your money and hunt down an arcade version of either games. At least you'll have a few hours worth of fun instead of an eternity of mediocrity.

I find it very strange that one game is so good and the other one so bad. Perhaps the title of this duo should have been re-titled Jekyll and Hyde. It's like the developers just gave up on Marble Madness halfway through the development process.

There's absolutely nothing redeeming about this game except that it's price lower than a real game, so you won't get ripped off as badly if accidentally purchase it.

This is the kind of game that I would expect to be included in a cereal box. It's not very involved and virtually anyone can blast through it in a day or two.

Fans of WWII will no doubt seek it out since there is a rabid market for such games. But once they get it home and find out that it sucks, they feel shocked, betrayed, angry and bitter at the very industry that they have come to love and trust.

All of the races and objectives are fun to explore but leave no lasting impression. They don't compel you to want to replay them for any reason. Think of this game as nothing more than a series of half-hearted mini-games involving the Teutul family, who by the sounds of things, don't seem to be particularly interested in this game either.

Having more memory is always a good thing. Being able to view and play Pokemon games for the GBA on the Cube is also a good thing.

Fans of the show might find something to like about Zoids but gamers that know their mechs will be stunned at how restrictive and faulty this game is.
