While Bioshock doesn't necessarily do anything remarkably new once looked at from afar, what it does achieve is a literal masterpiece of all the elements presented. Most shocking of all is the deep customizable weapon system which gives it an almost RPG feel.

All things taken into account, the game turned out to be a huge disappointment. Being a mish-mash of games I had played before in the past, the integration of different aspects of these popular games in the genre did not bring this saga any justice.

All things said and done, Brain Age 2 is a very good sequel to an already entertaining title.

This is a rare case in which a budget minded title is actually of more merit than many full priced titles currently on the market.

All in all, I felt this game lived up to my expectations in all aspects except for the difficulty in the party management menus and the overall storyline. Honestly, the lack of basic plot elements early on was the biggest letdown of all.

A story telling masterpiece.

What I will say is this: When the RPG bug hits me, I always seem to stumble over the very game I need to satisfy the itch. Luminous Arc is my bug spray. Do yourselves a favor. Take off the elitist crown, get off your throne of indifference and play this game. You may actually surprise yourself and have fun.

In the end, Heroes of Mana does a fair amount of things right, but the core elements that would make the game playable are simply sloppily issued and broken.

Rune Factory might not be perfect, but it's the first Harvest Moon game to be released on the DS that doesn't feel old hat.

Do yourself a favor, save the $60 and rent this one instead.

In the end, Brave Story comes as something of a surprise and quite a pleasant one at that.

Of the many puzzles games currently available, this is one of the most inventive and imaginative, offering up a tiny reward each and every time you solve a puzzle.

All in all, it's a game you'll more than likely want o pass on, even if you're a die-hard fan of the original.

All in all, it's a game you'll more than likely want o pass on, even if you're a die-hard fan of the original.

While the storyline and plot are more exciting than what we saw in the original Final Fantasy, the rest of the game is pretty damn bland, with the soundtrack being the game's one glimmering moment.

My final advice to you is twofold. One, save your money and play the entire game at your local retailers (it's that easy by the way) or two, pick up some stuff by the bands I've mentioned, learn from them and start your own band, for real.

It may not be the next God of War, but it's a unique diversion and one that is amazingly fun.

We're provided with a greatly enhanced sense of presentation, both from an audio and visual angle, as well as additional content not found in previous version.

Lastly, Transformers: The Game is incredibly short, and doing both the Autobots and Decepticons campaign will only take a mere six hours or so to finish.

This is what a good game is supposed to be like. Visually stunning but not overpowering to take away from the game play. A humorous and interesting story, but the real heroes are the minions themselves.

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.

It's truly an amazing experience for hardcore RTS fans and novices alike and you'll be doing yourself a great disservice by passing this one up - it's a true gem and sparkles brightly.

While the visuals in the game may at times look a bit dated, it's the entire experience that takes this title and brings the game above and beyond its smaller parts.

It's a shame, as this title feels completely dated and lacking in almost every possible way and it made me want to bust out my old copy of "Stadium" and go back to the days when battling was fun.

After several days being severly malnourished and incredibly tired, I can safely say that Gemsweeper is a title that is well worth the time, effort and money.

For a puzzle fiend, this is a no-brainer. With a well balanced difficulty throughout, and real honest to goodness online battles, this is one league you can afford to be a part of.

The control scheme is impressive, the multi-player mode is entertaining and the mission structure is solid, but the visuals and audio presentation really could have used a bit of work; plus the game is simply too short.

My PSP has never looked (or felt) this good. Do yourself a favor and play this.
