While the visuals are amazing, the game just doesn't deliver as well in the fighting as it should.

If this game still had the previous (or an even deeper) fighting system, a run button, and weapons, it would probably already be a classic. While the visuals are amazing, the game just doesn't deliver as well in the fighting as it should.

So fun, that you'll find yourself addicted in no time. The controls are simple, but the gameplay is complex and delightful to play. And the killer soundtrack just adds bounty to the beautiful.

For a weekend rental, you will be hard pressed to find a better, or more fun, racing game than Burnout Dominator. Hardcore fans need to be advised that this game could just as easily be called Burnout 2.

I love the fact that the physics engine in the game applies not just to the player, but to the entire game environment. I felt like sitting back with a bucket of popcorn to enjoy the big, big, beautiful explosions in all their earth shaking, shrapnel flinging glory.

While the Wii version is an oddly enjoyable experience, the DS version is a complete disappointment.

Just think of it as a new challenging adventure with one your favorite characters and new "stylus skills" added.

Although the game feels like GTA Lite in many respects, it still is a GTA game, with GTA humor and gameplay infused into it and it's hard to beat the $20 price tag. Just don't pick up Vice City Stories expecting anything new.

The Awakened is a good romp. It treats the subject matter with respect, always mindful that this is first and foremost a detective game. Get out your pointers, and start clicking.

It's tough to beat an arcade fighter for mindless fun and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection performs admirably.

Standard fare in the world of licensed games. With lackluster levels, imbalanced controls, and below-par graphics, 300:March to Glory does not seem to be a good representation of the subject matter upon which it was based.

The Lumines series is a great puzzle game series, but Lumines Plus should not be in your collection unless you don't have and do not plan to purchase a PSP.

This is a card collecting game, and it appears that it will help keep the genre alive a little longer. It's more akin to a defibrillation than a Genesis.

Don't look for it to shatter any sales records here in the U.S., but if you're looking for a technical racer that requires attention to be placed on tire wear, rather than the unlocking of vinyl decals, you will be in for a real treat.

If you enjoy shooting, fast paced action, and beautiful environments, Bullet Witch should be a winner for you or, at the very least, will give you hours of pure entertainment.

A game that leaves you wanting more is definitely the sign of a good game, and it's also the sign of a perfect rental.

It all boils down to the controls. When you have the capability to utilize the innovative controls of the Wii, sure use them to the fullest extent, but don't leave the casual gamer in the powder while you do it.

The new additions made the game that much better.

If you can get past the voice acting, lack of advancements to the core fighting system, and almost boring micromanagement features, then this latest installment was designed for you.

Feels more like a first generation PS2 title than a title nearing the end of the PS2 system.

The MLB2K series returns this year with its best incarnation yet. It may not deliver the most accurate stats or rosters such as MLB 07, but it delivers far better presentation quality, control, and realistic player animations.

MLB 07: The Show delivers more realistic baseball action than any game I've ever played.

It hasn't quite caught up to its 2K Sports brothers, but it is definitely a step in the right direction.

In addition to the noticeable lag in online games, MLB does have its fair share of problems. There is an unusual amount of clipping when players collide during plays, as sometimes baserunners can clip into the fielders. The framerate is also slow, especially for a next-gen game.

It's one of the best PS2 baseball games and it's a lot less money than any other version of the game.

What I really like about the game is that it allows you greater control over a variety of often-neglected elements such as fielding, base running, and the ability to move the catcher in the optimum position.

It's also going to disappoint many ardent fans that were waiting for the "next big thing," only to find "the same old thing."

It will provide you with a relaxing and somewhat strange experience that no other game offers. It looks great on the PS3 and will impress (and maybe hypnotize) your visitors when they come over.
