    You have this great game, which is so fun to play at home and online (especially over Xbox Live), and when you’re prepped to take it on the road with you all you are left with are white knuckles of frustration.

    This one is worth your time if you’re simply looking for a unique take on the classic sandbox genre. Otherwise, it might not be a bad idea to lay low and wait for a price drop in the future.

    The truly unfortunate thing about FIFA Street 3 is the shallow Street Challenge because the play mechanics work fairly well and the game can be fun. It is just aggravating to do pointless challenge after challenge after challenge.

    Despite the numerous obtuse moments, the interesting story should keep you playing at least a little while.

    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.

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

    Loading the game into your machine is like unleashing Pandora's box. You'll either love it or loath it. Keep the aspirins handy in case of headaches.

    One of this season's best rentals. It's a short, but fun, little game that captures the spirit of the anime series that it's based on.

    A perplexing amalgam of moves, gadgets, puzzles, characters and situations that don't blend. Imagine if you could hear every individual voice in a choir instead of one, massive, aural wave.

    It's all rather generic which means that you could have put the crew of the Love Boat in this game and nothing would change, except that it might actually be more fun.

    Thankfully this game includes a pitch meter which measures the input pitch against the actual pitch and shows the singer the difference (i.e. if he or she is flat or sharp).

    This game is very frustrating and relies on a blend of skill and luck which means even if you're a skilled player you will never have total control of the randomized events... Still, for the right person this can be a very fun game.

    Younger players who aren't up to snuff on the somewhat difficult controls of the console version will get more out of this than the average console player.

    Better than last year's game with new modes and some new controls but it's a long way from being the definitive version of the sport.

    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.

    Addicting. It operates on many levels. Not only to you have to think fast but you have to plan in advance. I think that most gamers will be amazed at just how many words they can think of when pushed to the limit.

    I’m all for remasters of old games and keeping those same clunky mechanics with those old games, including the punishing difficulty. However, I want my sequels to old games to adapt and grow with the times. If Shenmue III had done that, it not only would have been a better game overall, it would have appealed to a bigger audience outside its cult following.

    I found the interface to be more problematic than most games of this genre.

    Although I will admit that the gameplay, which is based on a card collecting game, can be addicting, this game has no good reason to be the Xbox... I've seen better graphics on the PSX for crying out loud.

    A game that will appeal to novice and intermediate gamers. It's loaded with quality but it lacks variety.

    The game is entertaining for five or ten minutes at a time and works well as a timewaster. If it was any more than 500 points I would say don't bother, but for the money, the game is a good value.

    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.

    It's not as refined nor as fresh as the previous games in the series, but it's okay for a few larfs. However if you're looking for a quality quirky tennis game, "Mario Power Tennis" should still be your first choice, with "Top Spin" ranking as the current "real" tennis benchmark to beat.

    The gameplay took a hit since the last installment, but the storytelling is still superb.

    In spite of its shortcomings, however, Cradle of Rome is still an oddly addictive puzzler. There’s no real city planning, the screen sensitivity wreaks all sorts of havoc during puzzles, and the presentation in strictly bare-bones.

    It’s a shame that the surrounding structures don’t hold up, because the in-game experience of NBA 2K20 remains top-class. Another year of refinements has smoothed out some rough edges of the basketball gameplay that was already worth seeking out. The level of control you have over shot types is both useful and entertaining. Defensive assignments feel like they work more consistently. The commentary repeats itself less. They’re great moves forward. But if you engage with the modes 2K seems to want to push most, you’ll have to deal with baggage that weighs down the experience.
