    The game manages to hit every one of the requisite bases to satisfy the core audience that eats, breathes, and sleeps this stuff, yet it does so in a way that's creative and enticing.

    Once you play through it there's little incentive to replay it. The lack of a multi-player mode relegates SSS to the rental category.

    This is a sci-fi adventure game with a compelling storyline, interesting gameplay and nice visuals. For all intents and purposes it's an interactive movie with lots of control variables that allow you to really get into your character.

    Flock! has a few quirks that some players may not fully appreciate, but this is the type of high-caliber title we'd like to see more of on XBLA.

    Mafia III is an ambitious game that tackles serious, relevant themes. Unfortunately, it lacks technical polish, and the mechanics aren’t much better than anything on the market, let alone offer anything new.

    It may not be much to look at, but at least the sounds are authentic.

    The fact that the GBA can't even come close to replicating the original Tron arcade mini-games of the 80s is a major disappointment. One that I'm having a lot of trouble getting over.

    It's one of those games that you will either really enjoy or think it just was not for you. In ending I will say that they are just about there in every way and any game that shows a major improvement is certainly worth a look!

    Men of War: Vietnam is made for a niche audience: hardcore RTS fans who are looking for a great campaign. Given that limitation, the game is exceedingly well-executed, offering players a total of ten long, interesting, and challenging missions.

    There aren't as many games here but since they are more involved they last longer than five seconds.

    If the fate of most badly designed games is to suffer an excruciatingly slow end by falling on their own swords, Mytran Wars is so awful it doesn't have a sword with which to end it all, and it is instead forced to starve to death.

    It's mindless repetition, frenetic gameplay and attention deficit visuals is the epitome of shallowness and yet the involving storyline contradicts everything that's happening onscreen. It's a paradox. A dichotomy. Ah, whatever it is, it's a hoot while it lasts.

    It may be a great GBA game but it should have been completely overhauled for the PSP, to the extent of creating another sequel in the series. What you're getting here is a game where the expiry date was written over with, "Coming Soon to the PSP."

    There's a lot of value, with 100 puzzles and three skill levels, but the game isn't very fun to play.

    The game gets very old, very fast, especially in the four-player mode.

    I don't want to sound too cheap, but considering you can complete this game in a day there's no reason to purchase it. There's precious little here for replay value.

    After the first few hours, "free" becomes an illusion and the gameplay gets monotonous.

    With a story that's both sweet and silly, a varied dungeon that can be played in short chunks, and a deep customization system available for those who are interested, this is a crawler that's worth checking out.

    Castle of Shikigami III is a great title for people who enjoy the occasional classic, arcade-style game. However, it has a decided lack of content and doesn't offer much beyond the initial experience.

    A game of insane length. Soul breeding gives infinite room for replay value, but just getting through the first time can actually take up the entire life span of a normal human.

    Even still, I think this is a great game for families and players that don't mind some lighthearted fun.

    Offering little in the way of new features or modes, those who already own previous Madden installments won't find much reason to purchase this otherwise great title.

    Electrified ninja swords, stealth armor, and a new gauss rifle are only a few of the goodies awaiting players. The vignette is an entertaining diversion, but the rewards for completing it are what make it truly worthwhile.

    Beatmania is dated. It could have been released on the PSX and we could all be over with it by now.

    There's no variety in the missions themselves. It becomes very tedious shooting at swarms of enemies. Aside from learning some defensive moves with your arwing, there is a decided lack of depth to the gameplay.

    It's a good diversion for an evening but it won't have any lasting appeal.

    It's an action shooter that would be appropriate for a console. It's not big on story or subtleties.

    It's not a button masher. Energy and strength must be conserved. The key to good gameplay is looking for and finding openings. Taking advantage of your opponent's weakness is the strategy that will separate the men from the boys.

    Nancy Drew’s console debut doesn’t make a huge splash, but it’s solid enough for fans that aren’t into PC gaming to take the series for a spin.

    Overall, March Madness 08 is a pretty good basketball game. The problem is that it isn't the best basketball game available by far. It can probably easily claim second best, but College Hoops is a much better basketball experience.
