    G-Force is a movie based game that really took me by surprise. With some solid visuals, a neat 3D mode, good sound, and gameplay to match, the only real flaw is that the levels can feel the same which can make some of your time seem bland.

    Although SuperNOVA 2 is an instant party in box allowing me to find a new appreciation for this type of game I can’t help but think it maybe too much of the same for DDR veterans out there.

    Overall I can't help but recommend this game, especially for those that have not played the original on the DS/DSi.

    Wii Sports is all about showing what Nintendo's newest console an do in terms of innovation and making gaming accessible to everyone and overall it does a great job of this.

    In its simplicity, Splatterhouse remains faithful to its arcade roots, offering modern gamers a fresh take on a classic franchise minus the time limits and limited lives of arcade play.

    Although it lacks some depth that other popular fighters have, one will still have fun with this game.

    I came away from Nascar 2011 impressed. I think part of this was that I had zero expectations of the game going in but it is a fun, accessible video game version of the sport. Hardcore Nascar fans might find room for improvement but as a decently featured entry into Nascar it is a worthy first effort.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    The user menus and interface are done amazingly well on given the small screen with limited controls. This game is definitely not for the casual gamer but if you give it a chance its merits can be large and rewarding.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Overall Up for the Xbox 360 is a decent experience with the only drawback being that it is so much like other movie tie-in games, with no innovation or new features to compliment the game.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    While the gameplay is pretty solid, control issues and visual glitches take away from some of the fun.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    With fast-paced gameplay and a slick tag-based combat system the style of play can be quite appealing to all fighting game fans, casual and hardcore alike.

    Blue Dragon is a good RPG; it is just not a great one.

    There is no doubt that Animal Crossing: City Folk is a good game, however it is only good for those that have never played the past games before.

    Overall Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree is a pretty good first entry of the Touch Generations onto Nintendo’s Wii.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    For most casual players I would steer them towards their local video store, but for fans of this genre I would most likely tell them to pick up and buy this game.
    • 45 Metascore

    If you are a fan of the movie and own a DS, Napoleon Dynamite: The Game is pretty much a must buy.

    Mario Super Sluggers is a decent game, but is lacks any significant improvement over the GameCube version it is supposed to replace.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    For the price it's not bad for being a multiplayer-only title, it's just that nothing about Breach is particularly noteworthy.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Unfortunately average sound, extremely short gameplay and lack of a multiplayer keeps this from being all it could have been.
    • Da Gameboyz
    • 73 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    With improved graphics, solid sound and pretty good gameplay, the new control and re-imagined levels make for a game that is much more superior from the original.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Although Blacksite: Area 51 is a pretty good game it just doesn’t have the legs to make it one of those great experience.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It also captures the tension and wit in a lot of the real life games, but unfortunately not enough to make me play this title with any regularity.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    An enjoyable point and click adventure that has a few quirks that stop it from being a great game. With a short length and linear style to it, the game really is over too quickly.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Gun
    The shortness of the game doesn't give it very much replay value.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Worth picking up as the gameplay is addictive and quite enjoyable.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The rest is sort of cookie cutter so far and unfortunately the game's poor controls hold Shift 2 back from being a truly great title.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A very simple game to learn and can be a lot of fun. It is a little bit of everything sandwiched together with a little bit of rhythm and blues.

    Although the game is short in terms of playability and has some glaring flaws it still earns a joystick up from this reviewer.

    The level design doesn't hold a candle to many of the latest games, but Gunman still pulls off a very entertaining single player experience.

    Sure, the graphics and gameplay are not over the top, but this is classic Square...what is left to say.

    Shaun White Snowboarding is one of those games that you should go into with little to no expectations.

    NHL 2K9 seems to take a step or two backwards in their endeavor to make some changes to the franchise.

    • 72 Critic Score
    The process of learning prolonged dance patterns as the game unfolds can be a bit of a bummer. Still, the story and characters are enteraintaining, the graphics are uplifting, and selection of familiar popular dance tunes will keep you grooving.

    • 82 Metascore

    This is not a title I would recommend to the average gamer, but it is a unique experience and I found it well worth the time, just for the weirdness factor.

    Lord of the Rings: War in the North isn't the most innovative or original experience you will play on the Xbox 360, yet the co-op gameplay is very enjoyable. I can certainly see many gamers sitting back with their buddies enjoying mashing away through the games many levels while living out their LOTR fantasies.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    From a casual gamer's view, I really wanted to like this game more then I did but I found it difficult to hold my attention to it. That being said, fans of the series may have a little more patience for it then I did but I just can't help but think but nothing can hide the inventible issues one may come across.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The game has all the elements of a great tactical simulator with the emphasis on realism rather then fantasy, but has been mortally wounded by shoddy modeling, its graphic's limitations and all around poor execution.
    • Da Gameboyz
    • 67 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 does have some great attributes to it, but the hit and miss mini-games and the somewhat lackluster single player experience hamper the overall score.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    While Fatal Fury: Archives Volume 1 might be a cool nostalgia trip for all the old hardcore guys from the arcades, I’m afraid that it just won’t this current generation of gamers.

    If you already have MarioKart then I feel like it may be a waste to purchase a game that's a poor copy of Mario's concept.

    As far as NBA 08 on the PS3 is concerned it continues to fall short of other great b-ball games on the system.

    For those that enjoy karaoke, or who enjoy SingStar games and own a PS3, SingStar Vol. 2 is most likely a no-brainer and you might well treat yourself.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party is yet another solid entry into the very populated mini-game genre market.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Although not a bad game, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat did not live up to my expectations. There is nothing original about the game and in many ways I felt that this was a poor man's GRAW.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Overall, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is game that will please its target audience. But for those that do not consider themselves Ice Age fans, or fall out of the under 12-year old age bracket, then Dawn of the Dinosaurs will inevitably disappoint.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    I was surprised at how much content there was as I expected it to be very quick and easy, catering to its target market. However, it has a lot of meat to it.

    Any Disney fanatic will no doubt want to add this to their library of games, but the diehard racing fan may want to approach this title with caution.

    The slow gameplay and the sluggish controls make NHL 2K10 a struggle to play, and it is too easy to score as the defensive AI is lacking.
    • 69 Metascore

    Mirror’s Edge for the Xbox 360 is an enjoyable game and has several heart pounding moments scattered throughout its’ nine levels.
    • 55 Metascore

    A good showcase of the PS3’s graphical ability but the controls felt too rushed and made very little use of the new features of the SIXAXIS controller.

    One might be quick to pass a title like this off as an attempt to cash in on a popular TV show. Heck, we see it all the time. There is real value here though....The game is an extension of the show in that it provides a new way of enabling people to lose weight and this deserves praise.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Overall I truly enjoyed playing this game and strongly recommend it as a new title for the 3Ds. The gameplay keeps evolving enough to keep you interested as you continue through and the graphics and sound keep you immersed in the world. Again my issue with the lack of explanation of the characters and history brings the game down for me a bit, but not enough for me to stop playing. This title is a great pick especially if you are a fan of platform adventure games and definitely if you are already into the Rayman series.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It isn't for everyone. But it is definitely a lot more user friendly than other examples of its genre, and, for the price, is potentially a good introduction to this sort of game.

    With some pretty solid graphics, adequate sound, and some surprising gameplay elements, this game definitely will surprise many; however, the difficulty level may be a little too much for the wee little ones.

    Gormiti offers various gameplay elements such as platforming, basic combat, cooperative play (always good) and puzzles. Older gamers likely won't find much satisfaction with this one but I think it's pretty obvious this one's geared towards the younger crowd.

    Although the playability of this title can still be questioned Sega is to be commended for attempting to add extras to lengthen the time a gamer plays this title.

    Based on my time with the game I would venture to say that younger audiences and fans of the Shrek movies will enjoy playing as the green Ogre and all his friends more so then your average mature gamer.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Overall, Split/Second for the PSP is a decent arcade racer for gaming on the go. Sure it has its share of issues that include some sluggish controls, rubber-band and collision detection concerns. Yet there is plenty of bang for your buck and fans of the next generation version of the game should enjoy this scaled back version.

    If there is any fault here, it is that the Mission Mode is shorter then one would hope for, and the visuals don't take enough advantage of the 3D capabilities.

    All in all, keeping the same Sims formula may keep old fans satisfied but in my eyes changing things up a bit more would have made this title much more interesting and successful.

    NHL 2K9 for the Wii disappoints in the graphical department as it cannot compete with its competitors in terms of visual appeal. However, the hands-on controls more than make up for this by adding a sense of actually being in the game and not just sitting on the couch playing the game

    For those that enjoy karaoke, and who may have already established a decent SingStar library, SingStar Country will most likely be right up your alley. However with only 30 songs and no ability to download content as you can in the next-gen SingStar games, you should be aware there are better options available for fans of the genre.

    Okay, so it was vaguely interesting for me, but, train nuts out there, by all means add a point or two to the score. It's a niche sim, but it does exactly what it says on the tin, does it fairly well, and has only a few bugs, none of which are truly gamebreaking due to the nature of the game and its community.

    Overall, Rabbids Travel in Time 3D manages to accomplish what it sets out to do. That is to provide mindless entertainment for 3D gaming on the go. It is a simple game, fun and perfect for younger gamers, as it is easy to pick up, the controls are very basic, and progressing along the games many levels is accomplished with ease. More mature 3DS owners will likely want to pass this one up, but younger 3DS will want to give this one a go.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a good game, with a surprising amount of content for the price, but it will definitely turn away those who don't like even cartoon gore, and leave a slightly bitter taste in even the most hardened gamer's mouth... and mind.
