Virtua Tennis 4, however, seems to take about a dozen steps backward, with few redeeming features able to keep your interest. Hopefully, they take a long hard look at their flaws and serve up a better product the next time around. Until then, where's my Wii Sports?

Quick exhibition matches, both locally and online, as well as a few memorable minigames are enough for a quick fix. The odd career mode, however, is more frustrating than fun.

Brink is a worthy buy for anyone who doesn't absolutely hate multiplayer FPS action.

The game is a little bit too easy, and the level design certainly isn't very inspired. However, there are some collection quests and challenge modes if you want to go for 100% completion with this one.
