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.

Disappointing. Everything about this title feels like it needs more work, from the cut-scenes to the broken A.I. of your allies.

Just a reheated serving of the Cube's "Ultimate Muscle" which was released last year. Taken on its own merit, it's not a bad wrestling game but it doesn't take the series any further, in fact it appears to take it down a notch or two.

NOT for the faint of heart or Yu-Gi noobs. Konami made this one directly for its target audience and in doing so have created a fantasic and indepth RPG that will delight purveyors of the card game for many hours.

Takes the series in a new direction and while it's not exactly perfect steps have been taken to compensate for some of its shortcomings. Props to Ubisoft for taking a chance.

It's little more than Xbox 360 shovelware that no one's going to pick up. Do yourself a favor: If you absolutely must own Blood Bowl the video game, pick it up on PC. Not only will you save $10 bucks, you'll get an extra playable race, better controls, and a more vibrant community.

Probably the most disappointing aspect of the game is the way that it deals with the mechanics and animation of shooting. There are few indications that you are hitting your target aside from the enemy actually falling down.

It comes across like fireworks, in that it's a lot of intense fun for a short period of time but when it's over, it's over. Don't expect much replay value unless you're one of those compulsive types that has to "collect-‘em-all.

Were the developers to take the basic mechanics they created, keep the humor of the cutscenes, and dramatically improve the mission design, they'd have an impressive game. However, the boring missions, occasionally frustrating challenges, and lackluster multiplayer modes mean that all but the most dedicated boarding and Shaun White fans can skip this one.

Fortunately the interface is not only simple to use but is very powerful. It never gets in the way and is always ready for you to access.

Bloody Roar groupies will be pleased to know that this is the best game in the series thus far but only you can decide if a few new moves, characters and better graphics make for a better game.

The humor and style of the film translate well here and are helpful in filling the gaps where the simplistic gameplay and rushed mini-game mode fall short.

While this game takes place between the last and the very first Star Wars episode, I was expecting a bit more revelation in the storyline, instead it only reinforces what we already know.

Mini Ninjas on DS is an incredible disappointment. There are clearly some great ideas present in the game, and the story set-up is built upon a solid foundation. Once you push the start button on this machine, however, it breaks down and falls in on itself.

The humor and style of the film translate well here and are helpful in filling the gaps where the simplistic gameplay and rushed mini-game mode fall short.

A reasonably solid action game with a few good ideas, but definitely a step below the top-tier franchises.

It straddles the line between "mediocre" and "good" with an occasional spike into "brilliant."

SOF II is not much more than a glorified, or should I say, gore-ified shooting gallery. It's not unlike "House of the Dead" only less exciting.

The gameplay is unoriginal and not recommended for gamers with considerable experience.

Rent this game, just as you would the movie. If you purchase it, it will leave you shaken, not stirred.

This game, by today’s standards, is incredibly boring, but there are many hours of play time here for those who get into it. Also, those who enjoyed the original PC game will get a kick out of the faithful reproduction.

In Wanted: Weapons of Fate, Grin has created a definite step forward for the "cover shooter" genre. It features a fast-paced campaign that we had a blast playing. Again, we suspect a rental will give most players all the value they'll get from this game, but all fans of third-person shooters should at least give it a shot.

How much you play really depends on how much you like grinding and Rogue-like dungeon-crawling and if you mind the first-person visuals. If you really like that sort of thing, expect 50+ hours of fun. If not, just skip this class.

This is a very simple game that's a lot of fun, but it's very short, and there are some technical problems that hurt the gameplay.

It's mostly successful, aside some bothersome repetition and a handful of other moments where the momentum lags. Fans of anime and hospital dramas will undoubtedly want to scrub-in to see what LifeSigns is all about. They'll be rewarded with an excellent story and some so-so surgical action.

The tutorial sets the stage for a pleasurable experience, but shoddy game modes, AI, and visuals kill the moment.

Reminisce adds only a few things to keep the returning fans locked into the gameplay, but with a setup like this, where the story and progression of characters is broken up over multiple titles, the story is what matters most. Here, Reminisce delivers quite nicely.

It's very cohesive without a trace of linearity.
