Top Gun is average at best and boring at worst.

For best results, keep the seal on this game unopened so as not to release the demon of boredom - and to facilitate a much easier exchange or refund at the store where it was accidentally purchased.

I don’t think Sacred 3 knew what its own genre was. If it was self-aware that this was nothing more than a hack and slash dungeon crawler, it could have gone the extra mile and given it a refreshing arcade feel, like Dragon’s Crown did. However, Sacred 3 thinks it’s a serious ARPG, and as a serious ARPG it simply falls up short.

It's feels like you're playing in a mall display of a replica of the movie set. Camera angles need constant attention as they seldom reset to the most appropriate view. There's just not enough to like about this game.

You'll play Postal 2 for the novelty, but its junk food gaming at best. Bad for your body and mind and only used for the short high you'll experience while you notice your boredom level increasing after hour number 2.

Its sole redeeming quality are the incredible number of monsters that are available in the game.

Unlike last years popular and more importantly, playable, "Sonic Heroes," Shadow The Hedgehog is a misstep in almost every direction.

Cima will have limited appeal if only because the gameplay design is not refined. The game is cumbersome in its execution and not deep enough to warrant such inconveniences.

Once you play through it there's little incentive to replay it. The lack of a multi-player mode relegates SSS to the rental category.

The sound effects are decent, but the music is retro, cheesy 80s rock that repeats ad nauseam.

The game suffers from long loads, poor control and an unplayable multi-player mode.

Poor mechanics and collision detection hamper the experience. An excruciatingly asinine mini-game that makes repeat visits throughout the story throws an additional road block up, and its only shameless function is to pad the length of a game that is over in about two hours.

Too slick for its own good and offers little of the gritty reality of college basketball.

The game is relatively short but the replay value has been artificially inflated by limited saves that force you to start over when you lose your life.

After the first few hours, "free" becomes an illusion and the gameplay gets monotonous.

For balls to the wall, mindless shooting this game will satisfy, if you can focus on the destruction you cause and not the technical short comings.

Slightly flawed and not altogether enjoyable is the prognosis on Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel. Watch the cartoon. It's free and a lot less frustrating.

These games should be kept out of the hands of youth so as not to show them how ignorant we were when we were young.

The Classic Games mode is admittedly alluring. Is it worth $40? No, not really. The rest of Pac-man Party feels uninspired and gratuitous.

I like the card game and find it addicting, but to me it's not really worthy of having an entire game created around it. I miss the RPG action. The turn-based card game gameplay would have made an interesting mode or mini-game. It's like making a main course out of the appetizer.

The graphics are exceptional but it's just too bad they are wasted on such a simple and repetitive gameplay style.

The story is genuinely interesting and kept me playing far after the fun had drained out of the game. But in all honesty, I cannot recommend it. With a couple tweaks, this could have been an awesome game, but as it stands Murderer: Soul Suspect is dead on arrival.

Purple Haze, at best, is a rental. It's short and lacks any replay value. There are no multi-player modes and the entire experience is about as realistic as a Disney theme ride guided by Andrew Dice Clay.

Rivals does have one aspect I like and that is the online play. A chance for 10 on 10 is a video hockey fans dream come true. It plays smooth and seems better online and not by mistake.

This is the kind of game that I would expect to find in a cereal box. At least that way I'd have some cereal to look forward to for the rest of the week.

Tony Hawk: Ride is not the broken junk heap some critics would have you believe. However, it is far from the revolutionary title Tony Hawk and Activision were counting on. In fact, it is actually a less enjoyable outing than lackluster games in the series such as Project 8 and American Wasteland. Still, if you're a skater, have the patience of a saint, or are a glutton for punishment (and frustration), there is a novel, skate-sim experience that can be uncovered.

It will definitely pass the time while taking the subway to and from work but at the end of the day, you'll come home, turn off the PSP and fire up the console version which is a homerun compared to this ballwalker.

A slight improvement over LOW1 and not worth the purchase in my opinion. Get it right and I'll like it. Don't waste my time with a few tweaks.
