    Helix has the potential to be a better title in future incarnations, but for now you’ll just have to enjoy the music and dance to the beat of your own drummer. Get it for the music!

    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.

    Die hard golf gaming fans may get some enjoyment from ProStroke Golf, but there's not much here to excite the average gamer.

    Sadly, Activision’s second installment in the True Crime series is a big disappointment that begins with the storyline and ends with almost everything else.

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

    All positives are undone by nasty technical problems like huge load times, slower than snail mail gameplay, and a story that wouldn’t hold the attention of a lobotomized bag lady.

    An enjoyable game, but it offers few new features. It doesn't quite live up to the standard set by games such as Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell. There are no major problems with the game, but no major breakthroughs either.

    The product as a whole feels uneven and rather low-bugetish, but as promised it delivers aerial combat which is both exhilerating and explosive.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    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.

    The things that Godfather: Mob Wars does, it does well. There just should have been more similarity to the console version.

    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.

    If you’re a survival horror fan looking for something that doesn’t involve zombies, genetically engineered mutants, aliens, or any of the other usual cliches of the genre, Rule of Rose might interest you with its 1930s setting, creepy children, and unsettling atmosphere.

    NASCAR '08 is not a bad game in any sense of the term, but neither is it fantastic. If you're a racing fan or a NASCAR fan there's stuff to like here and even if you don't care for NASCAR itself it's still a competent ride.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Overly difficult gameplay for an arcade game. A solid title that the majority of people will simply find too hard. Anyone looking for a real challenge will find it more than enough.

    Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam could have been an interesting take on the THPS formula and a cool combination of Tony Hawk and SSX gameplay, but instead it's a poorly conceived and designed mess.

    • 87 Critic Score
    A solid collection of 18 card games. It does not go overboard with extra features that don’t belong in a card game, yet it has a surprising amount of content.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    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.

    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.

    Mutant Nightmare isn't going to blow anyone away, but it can provide a bit of entertaining ninja action when you just need something to occupy your time.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    All of those annoying elements that we thought were gone in the next generation rear their ugly heads. It's too easy for adults, too frustrating for kids.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Fans of the third-person action genre are suited to enjoy this game and will certainly walk away with some level of satisfaction.
    • 58 Metascore

    Aegis Wing is a pretty decent looking and sounding 2D side-scrolling shooter with a nice twist on co-op multiplayer. The free price tag somewhat makes up for the lack of ship variation and small number of levels.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Shellshock promises gamers a chance for a realistic Vietnam War experience, but what it delivers is a repetitive third-person shooter that fails to break any new ground.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    It’s got a badass main character with an interesting back story, amazing presentation values, and all of the outer makings of a AAA title. Unfortunately underneath everything on the exterior lies uninspired level designs, repetitive combat, and mostly boring gameplay.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Dragonball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu gets credit for trying to provide a more newbie-friendly card-battler, but it comes at the cost of the planning and complexity that makes the genre fun.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Paying 800 points for this game nets you a pretty dry experience.

    The best of the Legends bunch, but Showdown – a title packed with potential – is a disappointing letdown.

    The real draw is online play, and friends will have a blast ramming each other into the walls.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A fun action game that improves on flaws of the previous turtle games. This is definitely worth a weekend rental or purchase for turtle fans!
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Fun for a little bit, but even die hard fans of the genre will be put off after an hour or so.
