    If Blinx didn't have enough to worry about, Artoon's camera work teeters on the brink of disaster and often just crashes and burns.

    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.

    I would hesitate to say that this game has more depth. It's more difficult but the strategy is still the same as the original. Once you figure out what all the new variables do, you'll think you're still playing the original game.

    Purge is an average game and as such there really isn't much of an online community despite the game being out for over a month. It's just not catching on.

    When you finally realize that most of your moves are going to be accessed by only two buttons with the occasional button-pushing mini games, it's likely to be game-over for most players.

    "Wrestlemania X8" was hardly a perfect game but at least it was good. WWE Survivor Series sees it, but doesn't raise (that's poker lingo for your information). It resides in the shell of its predecessor.

    Ultimately, while the setting, characters, and storytelling feel right at home, Darksiders III swings for the fences with its combat ambitions and only just barely manages to get on base. It gets points for trying something new, but the end result is a muddled set of ideas that clash with each other, with nothing in place to soften that collision.

    If you are a hardcore fighting fan with a sweet tooth for the past, then this game is worth checking out. The gameplay is fun and the moves are over the top, matched with colorful characters and powers.

    It's a completely different vibe for a superhero game and I actually kinda like it. It's definitely more of a cerebral experience than "Spider-Man 2."

    The PvE-only aspect is a nice touch, and it’s refreshing in a world where so many games like to focus on pitting player against player. The problem is that the enemies are rarely more than bullet fodder, and you don’t need to be much of a team in order to take them down. Still, Anthem is rife with potential and we’ve seen games transform into something amazing post-launch. I am hoping that will be the case for Anthem.

    Jericho doesn't really bring anything new to the gaming world.

    Overall the game plays like it's on a permanent cheat code, which may not be a bad thing to some of our little cheaters out there. Lots of enemies will attempt to overwhelm you but they all have basic moves and very little intelligence making them easy to decimate.

    It's inventive, funny, engaging and somewhat original although I think the developers should have stayed true to Prohias' vision.

    It's all last-gen production values as far as graphics, sound and some technical issues are concerned but it can still be an exciting challenge for racers of all skill levels.

    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.

    Actually a better game than either of the console versions - but not by much. It's more fun to play and the puzzle elements will give your brain a good burn.

    Pacing issues and juvenile sexuality will turn off many players to an otherwise solid game.

    You really don’t want to pick this up if you already picked up the original.

    The game takes an innovative premise and executes it in a way that's incredibly frustrating to deal with. It's so frustrating, in fact, that few people will find it worth the $10 asking price.

    With three modes and six levels each, ten challenges, a local multiplayer option, and tons of unlockables, there is plenty to do in this ten dollar package if you can get past the frustrations and don't mind a challenge.

    The game looks great and runs fairly smoothly. It's not very long, but then again neither are kids' attention spans.

    The combat is kind of strange. It doesn't seem congruent given the subject matter. It's like adding a new book to the Bible called, Popeye.

    The only adventure you'll have with it is trying to get your money back should you be so unlucky to have purchased it.

    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 co-op functionality and the vast array of collectibles are nice additions on the surface, but being unable to play with friends online and not unlocking anything substantial keeps the experience lackluster.

    It's lengthy while not particularly exciting or fun.

    River King: Mystic Valley seems to be somewhat of a fall from grace for the series.

    I just wish that it looked a little nicer, and there was more depth of gameplay added to the Campus Legend mode.

    Chaotic: Shadow Warriors is mostly solid, but uninteresting and repetitive gameplay, along with an overall lack of polish, make it a lackluster experience difficult to recommend to fans.

    Marvel Super Hero Squad can only be recommended for young gamers who enjoy their superheroes and would do better with a simple game.
