    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team
    With it's focus on dungeon crawling, this is a diversion that you'll want to return to again and again - and believe me, there are a lot of Pokemon waiting to be rescued!

    Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation
    Though it may not be deep in terms of strategy, the storyline and experience to be found in Super Robot Taisen is hard to beat.

    Sacred 2: Fallen Angel
    Sacred 2 is a title fans of dungeon hacks will adore and at times hate, due to its technical shortcomings. Even with its glitches, Sacred 2: Fallen Angel is sure to keep loot whores playing for a long time. Just make sure to save often.

    Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome
    Nippon Ichi has given gamers another fine srpg experience, but the enjoyment level is degraded a bit by the lack of difficulty and forced character grinding.

    Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
    A very short, all too easy story mode, but after all is said and done, a nice free skate title with good online play. The Hawk franchise is starting to show wear and tear around the edges and is in desperate need of a major overhaul.

    Nintendogs: Lab & Friends
    Nintendogs offers up unconventional gameplay, adorable puppies, and might just bring out the obsessive compulsive behaviors you never knew you had.

    Gun Showdown
    I must admit I am a sucker for games that tap into my childhood in a positive way. Gun Showdown pointed its barrel at my long lost younger self and told me to reach for the skies. Being a veteran of many gunfights, I did exactly what I was told and haven't regretted a thing.

    Star Fox: Assault
    If you can overlook the minor inadequacies found in the control scheme and don't mind a game that is rather short in terms of length and difficulty, than Star Fox: Assault is certainly a game you'll enjoy!

    Suikoden Tactics
    Fans will buy it, and probably no one else, but even if it was a perfect game, would things really be any different? Would it really start a Suikoden craze that would sweep the nation and allow the game to sit atop a throne near Final Fantasy and the other glam-rock RPGs? Probably not, but that doesn't matter, because the fans know, and as far as I'm concerned, that's all Konami cares about.

    Tokyo Xtreme Racer DRIFT
    The change to drift style is certainly a welcome change of pace and the control scheme is extremely well done. Some minor changes could help the game flow smoother and a touch of variety would do the game a world of good.

    Mercury Meltdown Revolution
    Overall, Mercury Meltdown Revolution is a fun puzzle game that will probably be overlooked by many people but hopefully time will tell and this title will be loved for its ingenuity and sheer size.

    True Swing Golf
    The question here, though, is does this work effectively? Does the touch-screen manage to emulate the sport of golf to a degree that is realistic and workable? Yes, it does.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
    It's as good a golf game as they come, and while there might not be a whole lot of improvement over 06's mechanics, it's at least as good if not better than last year's title.

    Metal Gear Acid 2
    Alas, I guess if they removed the Metal Gear from this [game], then we wouldn't feel badly for calling it what it is: a decent, card-based strategy game that moves quickly and feels good, but is missing that real "x factor" to take it to the next level.

    Deep Labyrinth
    A total immersion experience, Deep Labyrinth exceeds my expectations as a gamer in terms of providing a locations in which I can take on numerous beasts, explore diverse and detailed locations and simply dive into a level of adventure and fun that seems vacant in many games appearing on the market.

    Death Jr.
    Essentially a platformer with added elements of a first person shooter. This style gives the player a nice change from the norm, but has an unrefined feel.

    Shadowgrounds
    This game is fun, but flawed and it makes no effort to stand out on it's own or to do anything innovative.

    Destroy All Humans! 2
    Now I've said this before, and probably before I'm finished I'll say it a few more times, but as you play, you can't help but feel that you're playing just another set of levels of the first installment. Even the boss levels are just as frustratingly difficult as before, but the rest of the game is a cakewalk.

    Me & My Katamari
    The lack of precision in controlling your Katamari really stands out when you are trying to maneuver within very tight areas.

    Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
    I still grow bitter every time I have to restart, but there is something about the game that keeps me coming back time and time again, even if I'm frustrated.

    Terminator Salvation
    Terminator Salvation is a clear movie cash-in title. It still manages to be an enjoyable game, just one that grows tiresome pretty quickly.

    Lair
    The bottom line is this. Lair was meant to showcase much that the PS3 has to offer and it does so in many ways.

    The Matrix: Path of Neo
    Even though it is difficult to master, I highly recommending trying to punch through as best as you can, especially if you are a fan of the trilogy, because there is nothing cooler than fighting a horde of Agent Smiths while realizing you're the one in control.
    • 72 Metascore

    Kingdom of Paradise
    The game almost seems to negate the use of combos at points, which is thanks, in large part, to the infuriatingly poor blocking system.

    Destroy All Humans!
    Spending time trudging through this so-so title, I feel a bit cheated. Rent this one, blaze through it in a few hours and get back up on the roof and wait for the real thing.

    MotoGP '06
    If you're a fan of the Moto GP series, than you'll have no problems jumping right in and twisting the throttle. But keep in mind that if not for a few minor tune-ups, this title is nothing you haven't seen in "Moto GP 3."

    Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup
    The reality of the younger audience aspect is that it isn’t as deep as other EA sporting games and therefore the lasting appeal will drop significantly for older gamers.

    Final Fantasy
    As it stands, fans of the original game will eat this up and newcomers to the RPG scene will adore it, but hardcore role-playing fans will more than likely want to pass.

    Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge

    Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock
    In the end, Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock comes across as one of the lesser games in the ever popular series and that’s simply based on the puzzle content which is incredibly easy.

    Puchi Puchi Virus
    Everything about the game is well presented for the most part, as the visual and aural aspects are quite unique. It's eclectic, like I said before, but it's colorful and that adds to the overall allure or charm.

    Pac 'n Roll
    A colorful, engrossing run through one of the best "rolling ball simulators" since Atari gave birth to the idea. Some extra bulk weighs the title down and keeps it a gnat's wing away from being a true classic, but Pac n' Roll is good, clean fun for gamers of all ages.

    .hack//Outbreak Part 3
    While I did enjoy Outbreak I can’t get over the fact that the whole production seems completely padded out. There isn’t any real purpose for the story being split into four separate chapters, it ultimately feels like they just took a large game and split it into quarters to make more money.

    Mazes of Fate
    The story is great, the dungeons and interface are laid out well, the enemy selection is good and the action is pretty entertaining. However, the presentation found within is very 1991, so be prepared to make friends with a game that's certainly not the new kid on the block.

    Magical Starsign
    A competent RPG that has a very well written storyline within, as well as a robust battle system and enjoyable soundtrack. It's certainly not the best role playing game I've ever played, but it's one of the better ones on the Nintendo DS.

    Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo
    It might be a little slow to start, it does have its odd quirks, and it isn’t perfect – but it really is a very good game and it is being ignored because people either assume it is bad or they don’t know anything about the franchise.

    MySims
    Overall, My Sims is a great start to what could be a fantastic series. If they'd flesh the game out a bit, EA would have a game that would easily rival Animal Crossing, offering players the chance to fully realize their town from the ground up instead of simply trading shirts with stupid animals that will just as soon steal from you.

    Phantasy Star Universe
    It's a simplistic and shallow game that by all means should make it one of the worst RPGs ever made. It has a player-base that's virtually non-existent, and will only be decreasing with time. The single-player mode, though improving on the originals, is pretty shameful when compared to others. And yet, just like the original, it's a blast to play and will surely keep some people addicted for a long time.
