Odin Sphere may have flaws and you might find yourself repeating areas over and over again as you play through the five different books, but the fact of the matter is that this is as close to perfection as you're going to get on the PS2.

The firing mechanic is supremely functional, but everything else that remains within is not and that's what takes this game for being for the supreme light gun gamer and turns it into a no brainer.

All in all, it's hardly the perfect role-playing game, but wow is it fun while it lasts.

Code Lyoko might not be the longest game you'll ever play, but if you've got a child or teen who is interested in the series, they might find some longevity in the title.

This is one spider you'll want to squish.

All in all, if you're going to pick up a game based on the movie, this is the one to grab!

Legend of the Dragon is one of the few Game Factory titles I've ever looked at with pure disdain. The truth of the matter is that its $39.99 price tag has almost no justification, as the game has very little in actual substance.

Aedis Eclipse isn't the greatest SRPG you'll ever play, but it is certainly still one of the most complex.

Realistic historical missions kept me going when the temperamental controls would not. Well, that and possessing some methodical desire to get the hang of flying the damned thing. Either way it amounts to the same thing. Crank up the Stones and let's light 'em up!

It has the perfect balance of RPG elements and precise platform control. The visuals are amazing. The story is funny and smart. The control is not decisively Wii based, but it incorporates enough of the new remote's functionality while sidestepping the novelty pit many games before it have fallen into.

The foundation is there, all it needs so more love and attention.

So, my friends, this is my cross to bear. Rest assured if the series continues down the path of leather pants and fret board showboating, I'll be unplugging my axe and shutting down my amp.

Though some of the mini-games will have you ready to tear out your hair, the overall adventure is amazingly fun and worth playing - regardless of your age. The musical score is amazing and the graphics and presentation are top notch. Seriously, this is a great game.

Another mediocre title that has the Shining slapped on it and packaged for sale. Bearing no likeness to the past masters, the series remains blissfully ensnared in a vile web of putridness that keeps it from being anything other than mediocre.

After Burner: Black Falcon brings arcade fun into to the palm of your greedy little hands with beautiful environments, a likeable, if not eccentrtic, cast of pilots and truly exceptional rail shooter styled game-play. If you love arcade flight games, this is a must own title for the PSP.

As opposed to the DS version of the game, Cooking Mama on the Wii is a mess and something that is often very hard to enjoy, especially for the younger crowd. The Wii sensitive controls don't work well and even when they do, there will always be one or two parts of a recipe that you'll maul because of those rogue elements.

If you are a puzzle fan and hate role-playing games, you'll love it. If you're a role-playing lover who despises puzzle games, you'll want to hug it. If you're a first person shooter fan who loves to kill things, well, you might like this.

If you are a puzzle fan and hate role-playing games, you'll love it. If you're a role-playing lover who despises puzzle games, you'll want to hug it.

The single player doesn't last forever and the multiplayer modes are fleeting, but for $19.99, this is a great title and a puzzler that shouldn't be missed!

To me there's nothing exciting about being stuck on some invisible rail smacking winged creatures out of the air only to be finished off with a series of context button commands.

While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it's still an exciting and enjoyable triumph of visuals and sound on the PSP.

The realistic un-arcade slant is a welcome addition to someone who has been wallowing in golf games that largely feature humongous green pipes and strippers as caddies.

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

All in all, Wario: Master of Disguise was a game that attempted to bring something new to the table, but instead faltered and broke along the way.

Some may be concerned about the ability to continue consistently, but SNK has created a system that allows you to choose how often you're allowed to continue, meaning you can blast through the games in one sitting with no fear of death or play like you're on your last quarter.

The new additions to the Meteos franchise only serve to make the title more interesting and as fun as ever, so what you're really getting is an improved version of an already great game, but one that has a little Disney magic sprinkled in - and for once, it's a great use of the Disney name.

The lack of a story is offset by the addition of tons of ass kicking - and sometimes a good ass kicking is more satisfying.

The action may grow somewhat trite and drawn out and the whole "someone looted me while I was passed out" aspect kind of sucks, but the attention to old school detail and gameplay really packs a mean wallop and the localization is incredibly amusing and fun.
