It's like "Need for Speed Underground" meets "Burnout," and it's portable on the Nintendo DS! We highly recommend it.

Battles are fast paced and can get extremely intense; simplistic controls that are easy to learn but tricky to master; Captures the look and feel of Naruto perfectly.

An excellent getaway from "Halo 2" and "SOCOM 2." Unfortunately, the entertainment may only last a few hours.

Although not perfect, Karaoke Revolution Party is a solid game for those looking for a good multiplayer title.

R-Type Command makes for a great portable game for those who love turn-based strategy games.

While the multi-player is much more full-featured than the single-player, Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam is nonetheless a great launch title that makes great use of the Wii.

A strong title. Kids will love the game and demand to play more while adults may be content with just a single run through.

A must-have classic. If you consider yourself a shooter fan, you simply must get this game.

Despite these minor flaws I found Switchball to be one of the better puzzle games based on rolling a ball around.

A much improved game that harkens back to the old days, where hockey was a great console sport.

An old-school dream. It's this type of title that makes playing games an addictive and sweat-inducing experience. Only the hardcore and mentally tough gamers need apply.

Battlestations: Midway offers a brand new approach to naval combat on the consoles. It portrays the atmosphere of WWII in the Pacific theatre quite well. Not everyone will be satisfied with the slow pace of naval warfare, but if you’re a history buff, you don’t want to miss the boat.

The poor AI and incredibly short campaign will make it boring quickly, but the online play gives a new meaning to portable gaming. Find a wireless connection and jump on.

A lengthy and enjoyable GTA clone that is actually improved upon thanks to the great use of the Wii's unique controls.

Its legacy will be the same as all the previous games in the series; a solid launch racing game that will tide you over while you wait for “the next big title.”

A good game based on a movie. It's no Riddick but it certainly entertains and is designed for fans of the film.

Definitely good for relieving stress, it’s just a couple of notches away from first person greatness.

Activision still has some issues to iron out with this series, but die-hard stealth fans will get a solid challenge and several hours of fun game play.

Despite it being shallow and lacking in many categories, it has the most important factor when it comes to video games. Fun.

Pick this one up if you want a fun golf game, but avoid it if you’re expecting something new and amazing.

This is a nice revision of last year's version. No, it is not an essential buy. If you have to be on the cutting edge, then you need to get this.

Pass gas to stun your opponents, eat human brains, roll your own head around like a bowling ball, and use your own guts as a grenade in this great new action game.

It's a game worth checking out if you like strong, sexy female anti-heroes and gratuitous bloodshed, and aren't hoping for an experience heavy on plot and social relevance.

Long time gamers will dig it, but it may be too hardcore for casual players.

It doesn't push the genre into new territory, but the single player campaign is a blast.

A great game for showing off the capabilities of the DS, and fun while it lasts, even though it isn't long enough.

FIFA World Cup 2006 makes some impressive strides over FIFA 06 for the Xbox 360. Changes in graphics and game play are evident, but EA still has plenty of room to improve all aspects of next year’s football game.

While it isn't the best fighter to come out in 2008, it does a lot of things well enough to keep fans happy and intrigue new-comers.

Replayability is actually fairly high, for once you have completed a stage you can go back and try to make the star even larger.

There is a lot of depth with the various gameplay modes and things to unlock to keep you busy.

Highly amusing, fun combat system but a bit dragged down by the sometimes hard to get used to controls. Online play is great, but lag is sometimes a painful factor against small enemies.

Castle Crashers is a great XBLA title that nobody should miss out on.

The fun gameplay will draw you in and the extras will keep you playing until you've unlocked them all.

Casual gamers will find FIFA Street 2 to be a fast-paced, fun and refreshing break from the standard sim-based games that EA is known for.

Amazing graphics and incredibly fun multiplayer.

While it isn't the best fighter to come out in 2008, it does a lot of things well enough to keep fans happy and intrigue new-comers.

NHL 07 is more or less a replicate of last year, only with minor changes. However, its still the same old fun that we've known since 1992.

Typical compilation title, you’ll either love it or hate it. If you love everything Street Fighter, you will love this collection. If you have never really been a fan, there is nothing in this title that will make you change your mind.

Lego Star Wars is the perfect rental game: it's short, it's fun, and it's got a great multi-player mode. It is too short and too easy, though, to warrant a purchase.

All in all, however, Hitman Blood Money is a worthwhile experience. The satisfaction of seamlessly pulling off an assassination and raking in the highest reward makes all the trial and error worthwhile and, frustration aside, the act of playing through a mission again in an attempt to end up with less notoriety or more money becomes challenging rather than tedious.

Its slower pace might put off the usual crowd, but those with the patience to explore the immense island and unlock its many secrets won't be disappointed.

The conversion to the Xbox 360 isn’t perfect, but it does the job. For the love, everyone stop using Ryu and Ken!

GG Boost mode adds in a nice change of pace, seamlessly blending a complicated tournament fighter with a traditional, simplistic side-scrolling beat-em-up; Multi-tap support makes for great 4-player party fun.

Vegas 2 would have worked better if it cut out the single player entirely and added more to he multiplayer.

Graphical upgrades, adjustments to the combat system, new missions, and additional content (there are more warehouses, hubs, rackets and such) make it the version that offers the most bang for the buck.

Chocobo's Dungeon takes a strict gameplay structure, bends it for the sake of accessibility and then builds something new on it to enhance it further without entirely breaking the game.

For $10, you get a great presentation, packing plenty of action, three difficulties, scoreboards, and online play.

Overall this is a really solid game that has the potential to be so much more. Unfortunately the repetitive missions and ho-hum gameplay hold it back.

Shadowrun is far from perfect and the things that are missing will definitely be missed by many, but it is a very fun take on an old FPS formula and offers addictive gameplay that will make you overlook otherwise major flaws in game design.

It loses a few points due to the price, but it's an otherwise fine game.

A brilliant, if somewhat belated, RPG with a gripping, unique story and one of the best combat systems of any RPG.

While it does have its share of bugs and bad points, overall this game is well worth buying if you enjoy the genre. The multitude of items and armors keep things interesting, while socketed items and armor take customization to higher levels.

If you’ve downloaded Pac-Man, Frogger and the like already, you’ll have more of the same fun with Dig Dug, once you get past the less-than-perfect controls that plague all these games.

Essentially, if you liked the gameplay and subject matter of its predecessor, you’ll enjoy Hitman: Contracts all the more. If violence and suspense aren’t your style, you’d best look elsewhere.

Newcomers to the genre who want a light-hearted golf experience will appreciate the game’s intuitive gameplay mechanics. However, those desiring a more in-depth golf experience may not find it here.

Its simple learning curve and stimulating gameplay make it a high recommendation for not only Suikoden fans but also to those who are new to RPG/Strategy gaming.

It's fun to be Bourne. Great fighting moves and various takedowns. The story has some gaps, but you can fill them in if you're familiar with the movies.

An excellent pinball title and a perfect dose of retro action that won't get old fast.

It has all the elements needed in a movie-based video game, and in some aspects even goes above and beyond that. However, the lasting appeal of the game leaves a lot to be desired. If they had just thrown in another gameplay mode, this game could have been spectacular.

Fans of the series will no doubt find exactly what they are looking for, while some will struggle with the hard-to-master controls.

Like Lego Star Wars before it, it's a worthy homage to a classic movie franchise.

Bottom line is that if you love Mario Party, you’ll still love Mario Party 8. If you don’t love the Mario Party games, this one isn’t going to do anything that will change your mind, even with the Wii controls.

It's not perfect, but it's worth a look.

Remarkably similar to the console version. The portable offering will no doubt find a home with fans of the series. Just a few more tweaks and it could draw an even larger, more enthusiastic gallery.

Offers some novelty, and a good casual gaming experience, but nothing that takes it beyond that.

Don King Presents Prizefighter is a competent boxing game that is fun to play and which offers an entertaining career mode. That's all it is, however, and isn't really going to blow anyone away.

It is a fun and skilled gamer experience that requires some learning and patience. You will enjoy Red Steel the first time around, but I don’t see any space for replayability value.

A great game that has lots of great features, but is also lacking in the fundamentals.

A no-brainer purchase for hard-core fanboys but still priced a bit too high for everyone else. At least give it a rent for city-swinging fun and to try the New Goblin.

As good as a derivative puzzler can be. Puzzle Scape won't make you forget Lumines or Tetris, but it will offer enough variety to find a spot in your PSP puzzle game starting rotation.

Touched shows that the new technology in the DS can add to the game’s novelty, but there needs to be some use of the standard technology as well.

Yet another PSP title that is held back from greatness due to excessive load times. Despite this, it's a must own for RPG fans.

It’s a solid turn-based strategy game that’s easy to pick up and fun to play, good for both fans and those new to the genre. The lack of multiplayer hurts, but it’s not a mortal wound.

Mario Kart Wii feels recycled and simplified from past installments, but it's saved by a handful of creative and nostalgaic courses and it's excellent 12-player online matches.

While this game still falls short in a variety of areas, the nuts and bolts of the poker playing are in place and are perfectly tweaked.

If you haven't picked the game up on another platform and fancy visiting a video game classic, lovingly restored for a new audience, then this is certainly a game worth checking out.

Rogue Trooper is a pleasant surprise for those looking for a slightly different military shooter. What it lacks in glitz and finesse it makes up in sheer fun – and isn’t that what gaming is really all about?

At 8 to 10 hours of game play, it won’t be the toughest challenge on the market, but it’s one of the best television/movie to video game adaptations you will find on the market.

The good outweighs the bad, and the developers get extra points for making the DS version unique without giving up the overall adventure and story.

It may not be as classic as its name implies but this collection is longer on fun than you may expect. If it were a $30.00, $40.00, or $50.00 game it would be a no-go, but at $20.00 this is well worth it.

At 8 to 10 hours of game play, it won’t be the toughest challenge on the market, but it’s one of the best television/movie to video game adaptations you will find on the market.

The game is full of flaws in both game and level design that are sure to push your patience and raise your blood pressure. That being said, when the game works like it should, it is a hell of a lot of fun.

Although it's technically a fine game, if you own the original, there's not much reason to purchase WWE Day of Reckoning 2.

While some of the titles included may not scratch your old-school itch, the majority certainly will help you remember why you fell in love with video gaming.

It doesn't have ultra-realistic CG cut scenes, it doesn't have memorable characters that will jerk a tear from your eye when they fall in battle, but Etrian Odyssey is the quintessential old school RPG experience.

While there certainly are a lot of things that could have been done better with the Xbox version of Mafia, it still remains an enjoyable game.

Another expectedly solid title from EA. Unfortunately, a few faults keep it from true greatness.

Fans of the third-person action genre are suited to enjoy this game and will certainly walk away with some level of satisfaction.

A fun title that gets old just a bit too quick in single player, but is a strong addition to the series.

Even if you just find a couple songs you really like, it's the kind of game you'll go back to quite often when you have some free time. So overall, it's a good game. Unfortunately, it's just doesn't have enough gameplay modes to make it great.

Solid racing and a good online premise save this game from being a ho-hum racer. It may not be jaw dropping and great, but it is good and that's all that some games need to be.

Mega Man ZX is a good, though not perfect, action game that does justice to the Mega Man series.

Although clearly not targeted towards the hardcore gamer, this is a great way to revisit some old favorites.

A worthwhile bargain purchase for hardcore LP fans and for anyone who missed the title the first time around, but this is not going to knock everyone off their feet nor is it a "must play" for anyone with less than a fanatical interest in the original.

So here we have a sixteen game collection for thirty bucks, that won’t take up a lot of space on your Wii, packs in some good games, and whose only problems are various other locations to play these games and a bit of hoop jumping for some of them.

An otherwise solid title plagued by ghastly controls, Super Monkey Ball: Touch and Roll is frustrating at best, its saving grace being a slew of incredibly fun minigames.

Deadly Silence manages to exhume possibly some of the most memorable aspects of the series, while fine-tuning the experience with some intriguing DS-capabilities. However, its control method and outdated visuals can prove frustrating at the best of times for newcomers to the series.
