And why has so little respect been shown to this mythology. Granted, it’s going to be difficult for anyone to make an interesting Zorro game in an age where fragging rules, but The Destiny of Zorro is a total mess of a game.

There are tons of great options, right down to the ability to play ball as school mascots. The Road to Glory is a great premise, though it's also admittedly shallow and repetitive. In the end, however, EA Sports threw in everything, including the kitchen sink.

There's really nothing broken about Escape the Museum; it's just really, really boring. From the lifeless visuals, to the terribly antique gameplay, it offers little real entertainment. Were it a $10 WiiWare title, this game still wouldn't be at all compelling.

An overriding sense of "been there, done that."

Despite the lack of the heralded online modes from the console versions of Madden NFL 10, there is still a ton of content packed into the PSP version that will keep you playing for a long time to come.

There’s a full day’s worth of material here and lots of unlockables. However, it gets repetitive, and we encountered an apparent glitch that stopped us from beating the game.

If you're looking to hook up with a few friends for some solid multiplayer baseball, this isn't the game for you. You might be able to muddle through poor mechanics, but why would you want to when there are better options out there?

The obligatory checklist of unlockables is present here, but it's not enough to really sweeten the pot. The gameplay feels like it was phoned in to the programmers by the creative team, and the overall execution is really sloppy.

There are enough gameplay elements to take your mind off how bad this game is for a while, but it eventually catches up to you.

The innovations here, particularly the cover system, open up a world of possibility, but it doesn't seem like the developers were up to exploring too much of that world.

G.I. Joe PSP comes with a myriad of faults and only a small handful of redeeming qualities.

The overall lack of complexity and repetitive nature of the gameplay will seriously reduce the time you'll spend playing this game. It shouldn't take you longer than a weekend to win this war.

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.

There's certainly no shortage of content in Race-O-Rama, and quite a few of the tracks are truly enjoyable. However, the overworld has had little love put into it, and there are many minor issues and bugs that come together to create a fairly uninspired package.

The story is lengthy and there are plenty of extras to find after finishing, but the gameplay is derivative and can drag at points.

At only twelve levels, this game is incredibly short. But, in the case of ATG, that's a blessing.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 isn't a revolution for the series, but it is a hefty package comprised of solid parts.

Fans abroad have consistently praised other versions of the game for its uniqueness and difficulty. However, Pop'n Music for the Wii doesn't feel unique or difficult; it just feels like a lot of frustrating shaking set to bad music.

The fact is, this is a fundamentally sound game that, at the very least, lasts a long time and will provide respite from a considerable amount of boredom.

Combat can be mildly entertaining for a short while, and there is a neat selection of superpowers to tinker with. In the end, though, the game's problems are piled sky high, making it simply too frustrating to be worth bothering with.

There's a good amount of content and game modes, but it's all based on the terrible core gameplay mechanics.

While the annoying whine of the vehicles is pretty accurate, the crowd noise is sparse and artificial-sounding. Worst of all, the pop-metal that loops in the background is enough to make you want to huck your PSP against a wall.

A barely playable arcade game with no lasting replay value.

There's only a single-player mode, and honestly, I can't see why anyone would want to play this game for more than a few minutes. It really is that bad.

None of these games is perfect, but all of them will draw you in, and for $20 most gamers would be insane to pass this up - provided they didn't already acquire these titles through XBLA.

Smash-up’s online gameplay is more functional than Brawl, though it still doesn’t live up to expectations. The extras and unlockables aren’t that interesting, but the game’s good fun when played locally with friends.
