    Unfortunately the gameplay experience also feels fabricated. Glitches and slowdown expose this "matrix" for what it really is: a shoddy attempt at an MMORPG.

    The focus of their next Spider-Man game should be making the combat feel as authentic to Spider-Man as they've done with the web-slinging. With a focus on improving the combat, the A.I., and more epic cineractives, Spider-Man 3 would have been a great game.

    Dawnspire is like a cross between "Diablo" and "Gauntlet," but neither game was meant to be played with bots.

    The game is very short, and with nothing much beyond the game's story mode, most players will be done with this title in only a few short hours.

    It's trial by fire as there is no in-depth tutorial or training mode. Just get in the game and try to stay alive, that's the best advice I can give you.

    I find it vexxing (love that word) when I play a game and I can't stop thinking about all of the things that are missing, rather than what is present... Batman Begins is rife with missed opportunities and it's a much lesser game because of it.

    Overall, I can appreciate the concept behind Fullmetal Alchemist: Trading Card Game, but I just wish that it could have gone that extra mile and become more of a video game than just an electronic card game.

    Though completing the 70+ character roster gives the game some replay value, there's not much else to do once that is finished.

    Due to the game's repetitive nature I would advise that you don't play it for long periods at a stretch. It will get boring. Savor it. Play one level and then put it away for a day or a week.

    About as classy as a "KerPOW!" sound effect and sadly never elevates itself beyond basic Bat-Shtick.

    It's really more of a de-evolution as the game is littered with problems from start to finish. If you were hoping for a solid gameplay experience considering the game has been often delayed over it's long development cycle, you will be very disappointed.

    Fans of the franchise will find something fun to work with here, but everyone else will be left with nothing but confusion.

    Capcom did the right thing by allowing 2 player battles and extending the replay value with 5 characters but some gamers will have had enough of the load times and mind-numbing decisions by the end of the first story.

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

    I do feel bad that SimCity Societies is cursed to go misunderstood. It is less an attempt to steer SimCity in a new direction, and more an attempt to fuse a familiar brand and city building theme with another popular, accessible kind of gameplay.

    In the end it's the drab gameplay that ultimately hurts what could been a more innovative experience...I'd certainly recommend playing the game - just maybe in bite size chewable doses.

    If you want a history lesson in RPGs then you owe it to yourself to look into Phantasy Star Collection, otherwise you might just want to continue on with new titles such as "Harvest Moon" and "Golden Sun."

    I would simply advise getting the PC version (providing you meet the system requirements). Otherwise you're going to be spending money, and lots of it, to essentially turn your PS2 into a PC.

    I really have no idea why this game was made so short. You can make it through the story mode in an afternoon.

    Aimed at the younger demographic, Sinbad is a decent little production but the gameplay is repetitive and it doesn't last very long. It's pretty much hack and slash from beginning to end.

    Mario Sports Superstars could appeal to multiple demographics, but might not hold the attention for any of them. Each sport is fun, but the lack of variety in games and their respective courses wears thin. The Mario sports games are rife with potential for players of all ages, sports fans or not, to gather their 3DS consoles and participate in wild tournaments. But with Mario Sports Superstars, I only want to go further inside my house to play different Nintendo games.

    You will learn a few valuable lessons playing Diner Dash. First of all you'll learn that the hospitality industry can be a total grind, and second, you'll understand why so many waiters and waitresses are so miserable.

    This game has to be played in the two-player mode to get the true feel of it.

    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.

    Despite its uninspired gameplay, the simple tasks and challenges may appeal to a younger audience, especially those that've seen the film. But if you're part of the "+" demographic in The Golden Compass' "E10+" rating, then you'll likely be bored soon after Iorek's opening wolf-whuppin' battle sequence.

    I find it a little disappointing that this second version of EyeToy focuses almost exclusively on the dance/rhythm genre. This technology has so much more potential than to be squandered like this. Besides, it's not even as deep a game as the Konamix series.

    There's not enough difference between the first and second Conduits to say they've made a true evolutionary breakthrough. Although Conduit 2 has more to offer in terms of environmental variety, it retains much of the original game's narrative unoriginality and awkwardness of presentation.
