Perfect for quick sessions or marathoning through, MI2:SE packs a lot into its package.

It's not bad for a $15 game, but it does next to nothing to advance the FPS genre. You're better off getting a used copy of Call of Duty 4.

While it may not feel like an entirely new game in some respects, it does feel more refined this time around. Whether you played the original Crackdown the entire way through, or perhaps only purchased it to get into the Halo 3 beta, you really should check out this sequel.

Relative to the $40 price tag, there isn't a whole lot of game here. This would be a solid buy in the $10–15 range, and an acceptable one at $20.

Forty stages feel more like four hundred due to slogging painfully from one to another.

The game is competent, but it alternates between short, and usually decent, platforming segments and tedious sections of puzzle-solving. Also, you can beat the game in the amount of time it takes to watch the film twice.

Persona 3 was an excellent game to begin with, and if you have never experienced it, Persona 3 Portable is a must-play title. However, if you have played it before, the extra content makes this title worth picking up and playing through again.

Deep customization drives the core shooter gameplay, which is only held back by a fear of repetition and a few bugs.

You'll have a great time with the single-player campaign and the fairly limited, but entertaining, multiplayer component of Singularity is just icing on the cake.

Neither good nor terrible. If you're a big fan of hack-and-slashers you can probably bump this up a couple of notches, but other than the occasional element that may briefly stand out, N3II is pretty average.

The story material is handled wonderfully (though if you've never read the books or watched the movies, prepare to be lost), and the gameplay is a great mix of familiar devices and new elements. Although the inevitable follow-up to this title may take a darker turn, I look forward to experiencing it all the same.

Technical issues make the single player mode frustrating. Multi-player mode is generic.

Although there are plenty of modes, the dart-throwing mechanic gets dull after only a few minutes.

Operation Arrowhead is a realistic combat simulation game that still suffers from a variety of technical bugs, just like the original. There is a great amount of fun hiding under the surface, which requires patience and time to find and appreciate.

It's only a few hours long, but it's fun while it lasts.

While TU might be weak in all other areas, it delivers exactly what the targeted niche market is expecting: A huge cast of oddballs going crazy during unbelievable cutscenes.

Hot Shots has always been a fun-yet-challenging series, and that description remains apt here. If you enjoy tennis, this is a good one.

It's a fun shooter, but it lacks innovation and polish – two things we generally expect from Treasure. Diehard fans will enjoy besting their top scores, while casual fans will likely run through the game once before moving on.

The game is fun for the first hour, perhaps two, but after that, you've already done everything there is to do besides repeating the process many more times.

The local multiplayer is great, but the single-player and online games are boring.

Secret Files: Tunguska perfectly captures the adventure genre with plenty of passion, challenge, wit, and depth. This kind of game is certain to appeal to those bored with platform and action games.
