A mediocre follow-up to the original Champions of Norrath. Good, but not $50 worth of good.

The expansion is only $29.99, and well worth it for the hardcore FFXI player.

While not the classic SRPG that Disgaea was, Makai Kingdom is right up there with the best of them and is a must-own for any fan of the genre!

Fans of the original game as well as those seeking a challenging game for their Wii owe it to themselves to pick up Trauma Center: New Blood.

Quite simply, Sniper Elite is one of the finest World War II era shooters that I have ever played.

Number one in Japan for 46 weeks and counting. That's got to mean something.

A deep World War II shooter with excellent AI, physics, and heart-pumping, edge of your seat action.

In terms of quality of minigames, Raving Rabbids is probably the best the party game genre has ever seen.

If played for too long, I found the game to be rather tedious and repetitive, but in short busts (about one mission per seating, I would say) the game can provide fun.

Beyond the tropical setting and mini-games, you get a very solid digital replication of everyone’s favorite indoor activity, minus the booze and hustlers of course. A solid offering that will delight billiards fans for a few months.

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

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.

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.

Any role playing game fan should love this game. What’s more impressive is that even non-RPG fans can find many aspects enticing.

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All picks up right where its predecessor started, offering one of the best adventure game experiences available on any current console.

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.

A good, deep baseball game with plenty of options to challenge the most extreme college fan.

Brave Story isn’t for everyone. The storyline drags along at a snails pace and the lack of customization options doesn’t benefit the replay value.

While lacking in many areas, Star Fox Command is easily the best Star Fox game in years.

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

Undertow is a unique and addictive game. It really embodies everything I want to see in an XBLA game.

The Cube version lacks innovation, is disappointing and is almost a complete copy of the GBA version.

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

Despite control issues Wii Sports is probably one of the only launch titles that offers so much fun from such a small package.

While you certainly won’t be disappointed with the quality of the conversions or the usability of the collection, the game's prolonged existence has almost deliberately been removed by the addition of infinite credits.

It's unique, sports great visuals, and is a blast to play. With a free downloadable multiplayer component slated for release in the coming weeks, it's a good value, too.

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.

If you’re looking for an interactive mobster story, you’ll enjoy this game, but don’t expect the same sense of freedom and humor found in similar titles.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Elebits makes wonderful use of Wiiconnect24 and the Wii remote, something all third party companies (heck, even Nintendo) should keep in mind in the coming months.

A must have for two audiences: those who have been looking for a game that lets you play around with a virtual version of an illegal substance, and those who enjoy a great puzzle game that takes a lot of skill to master.

Acclaim doesn’t exactly hit one out of the ballpark, but legging out a triple in a crowded market ain’t too bad.

A fun diversion for longtime fans of the series. It offers the same addictive gameplay as the PC version.

Buy it for the minigames.

A game that all LIVE Arcade players should check out, and a must purchase for fans of the original.

Hands-down, the Gametrak system provides the most realistic home experience of the sport, even if the game itself isn't revolutionary.

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.

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

Rugby 08 is at the end of the day an average re-release with some updated features.

One of the best games for Wii thus far, which challenges on a hardcore level, and pays off with time and dedication.

Konami needs to go back and re-think the direction of this series. A somewhat disappointing hardcore hack and slash game for fans of pure action.

If you have some Olympic fever left over and don’t feel like shelling out for a certain Olympic game featuring two very popular gaming mascots, then New International Track and Field may be worth diving into.

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

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

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.

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.

While DDR fans may be a bit put off by the “natural” layout of the buttons, the stellar music and fun graphics will have you making room on your floor for a new dance pad.

Rather than focus on a cleanly executed adventure game, the designers poorly implemented a number of unnecessary gameplay mechanics like combat and stealth.

LarryBoy and the Bad Apple for the GBA is clever and fun but also far too short, and is best suited for younger/inexperienced gamers.

While Summon Night: Twin Age is a perfectly acceptable dungeon crawler, it has nothing that makes it particularly compelling.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is packed to the brim with heroic good times. It manages to be the least tedious of any Action RPG I’ve ever played, and the Wii edition makes good use of the new console’s unique strengths.

There are so many problems caused by pure sloppiness that it is difficult to recommend it. However, if you are willing to overlook the terrible controls and lacking extras and sub-par interface, Metal Slug Anthology can provide a very rewarding experience.

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.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a great Star Wars action game, with an interesting story and a lot of potential for fun, so long as as you can look past some moderately annoying issues.

If you’re a gamer that is itching for a challenge, God Hand will deliver. It’s not the most brilliantly made game ever, and in fact it actually feels very unpolished, but once you get over the initial learning curve you’ll have a blast. Just make sure you start on easy mode.

As enjoyable as any of the FIFA incarnations, but it just has not reached the level of simulation that hardcore soccer hooligans are looking for.

Contact offers a refreshingly unique experience, but it certainly is not for everyone.

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

Ultimate Team mode is an absolute blast.

You'll want badly to love it, but only a select few will be able to forgive the flaws.

While a fairly decent attempt at a Dragonball Z game it does not live up to the legacy left behind by the Budokai games.

As a single player experience, Amped 3 shows lots of humor, creativity and diverse gameplay. Gamers will easily lose three hours in a sitting, trying to unlock additional challenges and courses.

If you’re looking for a good DBZ fighter, go to your nearest bargain bin and pick up Budokai 3. If you’re looking for the ultimate Dragonball Z simulation game, go pick up Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Both games are cheaper and provide better gaming experiences than Burst Limit.

A confusing storyline, chunky graphics, hit and miss controls, and repetitive gameplay make this a game that will only appeal to fans of the anime series.

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.

A flawed first person shooter, marred by an incredibly frustrating control system, coupled with a dull combat experience.

It can be fun with two players, but it's a real stretch. With Aggro, there is a sentiment to try it at least once, but we can't recommend more than that.

Amazing graphics and incredibly fun multiplayer.

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

In closing, Dark Sector has familiar gameplay to Gears of War, using the cover system, perspective and excessive bloodshed, but it's addition of abilities helps animate the darkened world.

Hardcore RPG fans that are willing to overlook Wild Arms 5’s obvious faults will likely still get enjoyment out of the title. For everyone else however, there are much better RPGs on the PS2 that are more worth your while.

Features a fresh storyline and a great soundtrack along with excellent cut scenes. Unfortunately, Getting Up is also plagued by terrible gameplay.

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.

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.

The game might make a good rental if you're looking for some hardcore hack and slash action, but is scarcely worth buying.

Very solid and well put together, though an odd choice for a handheld. Recommended for big GH fans and casual gamers.

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.

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?

It's obvious that Razes Hell is a budget title, but it's also obvious that Artech has done some really good things here.

On a fundamental level, there is nothing wrong with Pac-Pix. Where it falls apart is just the fact that it doesn’t provide enough substance. It feels like exactly what it is – a stretched-out tech demo.

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.

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.
