    With easy to learn rules, but surprising strategic depth, Catan gets some company in the “Turn-Based Fun” genre of XBLA!
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Puzzle fans will likely enjoy this quirky title, though others would be better off trying before buying.

    Transformers: The Game is a textbook example of a licensed game done wrong.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy I Anniversary for the PSP is a must purchase for fans that may have missed out on previously released versions.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Incredibly fun and unique, but it can become frustrating. A good bet for fans of old school twitch action.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While there's lots of story and flavor oriented material here that Harry Potter fans will enjoy, the overall game is little more than a laundry list of chores tht Harry must complete.

    • 95 Critic Score
    DiRT seems to do just about everything right.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Poor camera angles frustrate the player as they desperately try to figure out ambiguous objectives which usually involve carrying things, crawling around, and drowning.

    RE4: Wii Edition is the penultimate release of a fantastic game.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Incredibly shallow, even for a budget title.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    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.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 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.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    While Tetris DS may have Planet Puzzle League beat in terms of presentation and in the number of players that can play it, the core gameplay in this game is, in this reviewer’s opinion, the pinnacle of puzzle gaming.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A good choice for gamers with young daughters, or Nintendogs fans who can't get enough.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Pick this one up if you know some of your friends are going to also. It's fun in multiplayer mode. Otherwise, be sure to try the demo before you grab the full version.

    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.

    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.

    With inexcusable control and targeting issues there is no reason to subject yourself to this game.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    An iffy buy for Diner Dash fans and not recommended for anyone unfamiliar with the franchise.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The concept was great, the only thing working against it was the fact that using the touch screen to shoot zombies could have proven to be too easy compared to its light gun cousin. To make up for this the developers seemed to go out of their way to make the game unfairly difficult when instead they should have increased the strategic elements of the game.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 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.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    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.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Shrek the Third will be a fun game for younger gamers, and slightly entertaining for everyone else. Rent this game, but don't go wasting $50 on it.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 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.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    If you can forgive the game's sloppy visuals, lacking content, and rushed feel- and are simply looking for a better way to web swing then maybe this game can temporarily fill your Wii drought.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    Captures the essence of the board game beautifully (quick to learn but hard to master).
    • 60 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The product as a whole feels uneven and rather low-bugetish, but as promised it delivers aerial combat which is both exhilerating and explosive.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Pocket Pool is the perfect billiards experience for those who enjoy fondling their cue stick.
