The variety of modes, the insane amount of unlockables and the sheer element of fun makes Grand Adventure a game not to be missed.

Definitely a must-have for any Fiddy fan but if you’re just concerned with the quality of the gameplay then I would recommend renting this one.

When you first put it in, you are immediately assaulted by offensively-bad graphics and a career mode that lacks substance. Top it off with a control scheme that’s too complicated to be anywhere near fun and you have the worst golf title of the year.

Volition tries and fails to re-create GTA’s sense of style, but their attempts at humor, from the naming of the businesses to the radio commercials, just comes off as even more derivative and less-inspired than its current gen doppelganger.

It stays true to its roots by delivering an engaging combat and multiplayer experience and add some much needed depth in the form of strategic maps.

It's Madden like you've never played it before and that's something we haven't said in a long time.

Madden has graced us with the greatest update of the genre since ’04, and once you pick up this year’s version you can never go back.

To say that the Lead Blocking Control completely revolutionizes Madden is the understatement of the year.

Madden on PSP this year is a much better experience than last year, but EA Tiburon has yet to provide a reason to pick it up beyond the PS2 connectivity that allows gamers to take their PS2 seasons with them on the road.

Somewhat underwhelming. It’s got all the ingredients of a great game but somebody just didn’t get the recipe right.

Disappointing. Everything about this title feels like it needs more work, from the cut-scenes to the broken A.I. of your allies.

The everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach attempts to overshadow the lack of depth in Deep Labyrinth, but it can’t escape from its own repetitiveness. While we may be misdirected temporarily, we soon find ourselves back on the well-beaten path.

D1 as a budget title is practically a joke, but as a premium title, this game is too ridiculous for words.

It's a shame that the controls weren't tighter and the level design weren't more varied, because this one could have been a classic. As it stands now, it's a title easily worth picking up for shooter fans tired of being stuck with R-Type.

In many ways, however, Dead Rising surpasses "Resident Evil" in terms of providing pure excitement without cheap "dog smashing through a window" tricks. Though flawed in many areas, Dead Rising is a thoroughly entertaining zombie-smashing experience.

Those who mastered the game as a child will be the only people that will get the full experience out of the Xbox Arcade port. Casual players will be instantly turned away by the daunting single-player difficulty and the outrageous lag experienced online.

Sure, the title is only five bucks, but there is absolutely nothing new here besides the ability to continue from your last stage, which is something no self-respecting Galaga player will ever use.

Virtually guaranteed to become an instant classic. It's fast, furious, fun and fantastically florid and flagitious.

As awful as repeating any of these single-player mission sounds, it’s something that you’re going to have to get used to. Due to the unfair advantages of the enemy, including the fog of war that prevents you from seeing what lies ahead, you will constantly be surprised by waves of enemies as you push forward without the ability to obtain any intelligence or reconnaissance.

Painkiller will cater to fans that want their action simple and lightning-quick. The weapon selection is limited but versatile, while the body count is astonishingly high right out of the gate.

Up to 16 people can play online but don't expect that many to show up for a war. Fortunately you can play with as little as one extra person online - and that may be the best you can hope for.

It's hard not to have a smirk on your face throughout most of the game as you revel in the light-hearted, comical atmosphere. It's a treat not to have to take things so seriously for a change.

Miami Vice feels like a budget title. I only hope that these new schools that are offering game developing classes makes use of this game as a "what-not to do" for control development so that someone in this world can get something from this game.
