The game is relatively easy to play but due more in part to the excellent control layout than the gameplay design.

So if you're itching for a decent survival horror game on the go and can deal with the "teen slasher film" feel and storyline, OTA is a pretty good choice.

A simple but engaging title that will pull you right back in to the farming lifestyle, and if you're like me you'll find yourself addicted all over again in no time!

As long as you realize you'll be getting only a few hours of dumb fun out of the deal, blasting away at home and online is a riot.

It's a solid racing game that with a few tweaks and a more balanced vehicle hierarchy could turn into a bright franchise with the next installment. This one got our attention; let's hope the next one knocks us out.

This ain't no "Resident Evil" or "Silent Hill" but it has its appeal. Where I think it goes wrong is with the story which just kind of falls to pieces later in the game.

This is a quality card game that packs a lot of strategic fun for players aged ten and older. The simple controls make it accessible, and the varied play via Xbox LIVE is very satisfying.

Shred Nebula has the right idea: Take top-down shooter action, spice it up a little, and create stages for people who prefer identifiable goals to random point-chasing.

This is a great game for fans of HSM, but if it's a rhythm game that you're looking for, Elite Beat Agent just can't be beat.

For many casual gamers, scrolling shooters are something to play online for free when there's time to kill. It will take a little more dedication to spend $30 on this collection, especially considering that leaderboards, perhaps the only reason to play for long periods of time, aren't available. For those looking for a unique take on a genre and willing to pay for it, however, these three games are worth at least a rental.

It's focused on all the right elements. Shooting fans looking for continual action mixed with a degree of intelligence can't go wrong with Chaser.

There's not really a lot of control in this game. All you really have to do is get ready to do some button mashing when you find yourself in a combat situation.

It isn't a bad game in and of itself but as a sequel it absolutely sucks.

Almost all the enemies present a similar challenge level. Consequently kill.switch becomes redundant which isn't helped by the lack of a fully realized storyline.

Duel Masters in videogame form is redundant from the actual playing cards. There's not much in the way of animation or storyline that furthers the card battling experience. The only benefit is that you can play against the AI if you can't find a friend.

Unfortunately it sounds like a wristwatch alarm. After an hour or so of playing Xevious, staring at your watch will seem like a refreshing change of pace.

The game will have you mashing buttons but it somehow feels right within the context... It's fun without being too cute.

Thanks to the simple combat, sterile environments, and weird balancing, playing Bleeding Edge feels more grindy and repetitive than any other game I’ve played in this space. The characters are all pretty cool and weird, but when everything is zoomed out and the gameplay loop repeats itself over and over, everything just, well, bleeds together and loses its edge.

It can take a long time to get used to the combat system. It's complicated to be sure but if you find that you don't like it, you're still faced with another 40-hours of gameplay. Proceed with caution.

The variety of modes, the insane amount of unlockables and the sheer element of fun makes Grand Adventure a game not to be missed.

Lots of content, competitive multiplayer, and great course creation tools give this title a lot of value.

The fun platforming, inspired level design, and bevy of character suits all make this a game worth experiencing. Although the formula is a bit derivative, Disney Universe has such a unique style that you won't notice it that much.

A blast to play - it's great mindless escapist fare - exactly like the movie.

Aside from the lengthy dialogue and simplistic gameplay, you should play this title for the story.

It's lengthy while not particularly exciting or fun.

There's so little offered in Hot Rod Show, it feels a lot like one of those trinkets you'd buy from a machine at the grocery store. Still, the game has an undeniable charm, and it's fun in extremely short bursts.

Dynasty Warrior 5 should be called Dynasty Warrior 2-and-a-half. I would expect more advancement from a franchise with four sequels.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD reminds us why the original THPS games reigned supreme, with its near-perfect control scheme and (for the most part) well designed stages. It does feel admittedly light on content, and there are a few missing pieces that seem like they should have been obvious inclusions. Still, if you want to relive the glory days of the THPS series, fifteen bucks isn't too much to ask.
