    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.

    While the game is fun, it just may not have the gorgeous graphics and complexity of control to keep gamers coming back for more. However, it’s not often you find a game you can share with random passerby #47.

    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.

    It may remind you of Burnout, but this is no wannabe or knock-off. It’s a solid racer with lots of destruction, good physics, and awesome online play.

    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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    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.

    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    Gives pinball fans access to some of the most popular and beloved pinball machines of all time, fully recreated in all their glory in digital format.

    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.

    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.

    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.
