For its merit, it has that simple, pure, fun factor that keeps me coming back, even after memorizing every nuance of each board. Yet with a sparse selection of maps, a single match type for each mode, and what feels like a dousing of turpentine on character customization and choice, in the end Splatoon feels like purchasing an expensive gallon of paint, only to crack open the lid and find just a quart of paint within.

Anarchy Reigns simply doesn't live up to its hype. It's not the big multiplayer brawler that finally brings action games into the online world, but it is a pretty solid action game nonetheless.

At $29.99, Point Blank is honestly a little steep simply because the game does lose its charm after the first couple of hours.

It's a new and improved Sonic Riders with plenty of new tracks and characters to enjoy. It's a must-have for Sonic fans and a "might-enjoy" for aces of the racing genre, especially for those who like F-Zero and Wipeout.

Some of this game's elements can get tedious, but all in all it is fairly enjoyable and should provide many hours of strategy, RPG, and archeological-based goodness.

Despite finding quite a few things that proved substantially irritating at different moments, the battle-heavy action does indeed scratch an itch.

A fun movie tie-in game, and it certainly lives up to what is expected of it. Although it isn’t terribly long or deep, it will give fans of the series some solid gameplay , and it certainly isn’t too challenging for younger fans who might want to play it.

But this game is definitely unique among its peers, and although it is not quite the best of both worlds, it is definitely worth checking out if you are a party game or RPG enthusiast.

The game has some serious replay value with its branching storyline and various endings, and the bonus "8th Day" content will keep fans coming back to this one.

Though the difficulty can be hard to swallow at times, the puzzle gameplay quickly grows on you.

Overall, Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge offers a solid puzzle gameplay. It's engaging, it's has goals that make sense, and it looks good. Also, it's not another Tetris knock-off, which is nice, after playing so many games that look almost the same.

The actual driving element is minimal, but if you like puzzle or arcade-style games, Burnout CRASH! is right up your alley. It's certainly charming and addictive, and for $10, it doesn't get a whole lot wrong. I'm just hoping that the next game that comes along with the Burnout name sticks a little closer to the roots of the series.

With four different modes and the twists that can arise from simply using different weapons and power-ups, you'll likely get more than your five dollars out of this one.

It's fun to play, addictive, and certainly worth adding to the collection of those Rabbid fans out there.

The Club is a fresh take on the shooter. It has a core concept that is truly engaging; it just feels as if it needs to be fleshed out a bit more. The single player Tournament mode is an absolute blast that will keep you occupied for a few hours. Unfortunately, the multiplayer features, though varied, are poorly executed.

The characters are colorful and capture the feel of the film eloquently.

Fun series of mini-games loses its appeal all too quickly.

But this game is definitely unique among its peers, and although it is not quite the best of both worlds, it is definitely worth checking out if you are a party game or RPG enthusiast.

Izuna will find its fans, but it will also alienate plenty of gamers that may be expecting a funny, fuzzy, anime frolic.

A wonderful little game that is a must buy for any Final Fantasy fanatic. The revamped graphics, sounds, story, and additional content make the game a valuable addition to your PSP.

The main adventure is more than respectable when compared to other current games in the genre, but it's the "other" stuff that really makes this a valued product.

The game has some flaws, but for now it’s just a setup and as a setup, it’s decent.

The long levels get tedious at times, but the pacing is just good enough to get you through the game.

The story was completely disjointed, and the graphics were only satisfactory, but the gameplay was really fun, and the soundtrack is good, so I'm not going to hate on this one too much.

Though the difficulty can be hard to swallow at times, the puzzle gameplay quickly grows on you.

Our advice? Don’t bother picking up Lego: The Hobbit now. It’s a great game, but it’s not a full game. Instead, pick it up later this year when The Hobbit: There and Back Again comes out. It will likely be available at a discount price then and together with its DLC that will probably be at or just under the price of a full game. That way you can enjoy Lego: The Hobbit the way it was meant to be played.

It's not big on frills but it is loaded with modes, including online play.
