The adventure itself is relatively fun and while certainly not similar to previous adventures, provides you with an ample opportunity to strut your stuff, Bomberman themed, in a number of mini-games meant to tax your brain.

Anyone from 5 years of age to 95 years of age can pick up a controller and compete for first place. That's the beauty of it, the incredible universal appeal that it offers.

If you're in an online gaming slump this summer and a burned out on CoD4 or the like; Colonies just may offer a reason to stay inside and enjoy the frosty chill online.

The game has a fantastic soundtrack, great graphics and a fighting engine that, while not the best I've eer seen, still has a good amount of depth.

Incredibly fun and will provide you with about twenty hours worth of gaming. However, Cima does come to an end and once it’s done, it’s done.

I think that fans of the game are going to get more out of this game than most others, though again I think fans of R-Type are more interested in playing a shmup than an SRPG. That fact aside, R-Type Command is a solid reinvention of the series.

Destined to become a cult favorite, which will most likely sell for a billion dollars on eBay one day, Bombastic is a puzzle gamers dream come true.

As far as compilations go, Sega Genesis Collection is pretty damn solid - but where the hell is "Streets of Rage"?

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

Some may be put off by the rate at which you go, but those interested in pure story and puzzles will find a little piece of Heaven in Syberia.

The fact remains that more micro-games could have been added – far more. Yet Nintendo opted out, choosing instead to concentrate on a multiplayer aspect. While this facet of the game is entertaining and helps make this a better purchase, it still feels like a shameless cash-in on what was a truly innovated and wonderful game.

The games are fun, the price is right and the package, though lacking in extra features, is sound. Nostalgia gamers will invariably eat this one up.

With just enough innovation going for it, this title is a welcome change from all the ports the handheld seems to be plagued with.

The story is bland, but on the contrary, the writing is intelligent, well-localized and entertaining more often than not. The gameplay doesn't stray very far from the norm, but the content does.

It's not for everyone but for those of you looking for a challenging game with a look and feel all its own with enough rewards to keep you going, schools open and Monster Hunting 101 is in session.

The game is far too easy for its own good and can be beaten in less than an hour (though this is something of a moot point for those who want to beat every micro-game within the game).

As far as compilations go, Sega Genesis Collection is pretty damn solid - but where the hell is "Streets of Rage"?

Overall, I have to say I enjoyed this installment of the game far more than I did the first, as it all flows together in ways that the original simply couldn't.

If you love monster hunting, colleting, etc., this is the kind of game you'll dig.

Does what it needs to do to get the job done… but it doesn’t put in any overtime.

In the end, Bleach: Shattered Blade is a great fighting game that takes advantage of the Wii contextual controls in a very good way - not perfect, but certainly a step in the right direction.

It's not perfect and I'd liked to have seen more competent AI, but I found my time in the B-DaWorld to be spent well and I look forward to returning there ... in about ten minutes.

In many ways, it is a groundbreaking title and is certainly deserving of praise for attempting to do something new, however it fails to be as good as it could have been, resulting in a game that has many fantastic parts that never form a unified whole.

With simple controls and familiar characters, Cartoon Network Racing provides the juvenile set with a racing experience that is easily accessible and entertaining, featuring a host of rewards that make the overall game session that much more worthwhile.

While many of my favorite Capcom games are represented, there were several games amongst the oddball ones that I found to be incredibly entertaining.

While First Departure may not be for every fan of JRPG's it's really a must have for Tri-Ace fans that want to complete their Star Ocean collection.

If I had to pay for them, I probably wouldn't, but as a freebie included with the system, they're great for showcasing the system's capabilities and give all of the people in your household a chance to game — even those with no previous experience!

The Godfather II, even with its glitches and ho-hum visuals, is still an incredibly enjoyable experience.
