For the die-hard hoops fans this is of interest, mostly for the story aspect. The gameplay can be a bit… awkward at times, but veteran players of basketball games shouldn’t have much of a problem.

This isn’t Smash Bros., it’s not taking XBLA’s top spot from Geometry Wars any time soon, and it often gets frustrating thanks to various design flaws. However, it does at least offer a nice distraction with some unique gameplay.

There's something strangely narcissistic about games starring musicians as themselves.

It’s the best game in the series so far, but it’s not really that greatly improved over the original, and it still seems like a missed opportunity to make something that really, well, cooks. It’ll be enjoyable for young food enthusiasts, but everyone else will probably want to wait until mama gets a bit more serious about cooking.

Its pretty, but like Chrome its mostly flash and little substance. At least you can show it off to your friends.

The item-creation system and battle system are laudable, but Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light falls on its own sword when it comes to delivering interesting characters or an intriguing storyline; as a result, the game falls short of must-have status.

Fans of card and parlor games will find some good stuff here, even though they’ll have to shuffle through the various games included here to find it. Just keep in mind that you can play games just like these for free on your PC.

Technical issues mar what could be a great game. Even though it's not what it should be, I still recommend it for those of you that like your violence in large graphic doses.

If you're a fan of the first four games, .Hack//G.U. Vol. 1: Rebirth should make for an interesting twist on the formula you know and love. If you're not a series fan, then this game won't change your mind.

PS2 owners without a PSP or 360 should get this in a heartbeat, but know that you’re getting some really worn-out hand-me-downs. PS2 owners with a PSP or 360 should stick to the games on those platforms.

The character models are close to the same level of detail as the PS2 version, but unfortunately, the PSP version suffers from a shakier framerate than PS2’s version.

The MVP engine still has some competitive advantages, but for the franchise to thrive, a move up to PS3, 360 and Wii is essential. The PS2 edition just feels dated.

Chicken Little: Ace in Action is a decent action game that could have been great with a little more work. As it stands, it’s one of those that’ll be sure to please younger fans of the film, but that’s about it.

Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 isn't the best choice for exposing anyone to the platforming genre for the first time, but for those seriously dedicated to the genre, this is a mildly fun weekend retreat.

You'll play through the songs once and then go back to playing Guitar Hero II while waiting for Guitar Hero III to come out.

While the Secrets of Da Vinci is hardly a masterpiece, it still has glimmers of genius and intrigue. The game has obviously been well thought-out, and is a nice way to pass the weekend; but sadly there is nothing to make you want to play through a second time.

Surprisingly fun. If you like a good shooting game, well, this may not be perfect, but it's fun for an afternoon. Definitely worth a rental. If you're a hunting game fan, it's absolutely great.

Y’s The Ark of Napishtim was an okay PS2 title. Now, it’s an okay PSP title with virtually nothing new to offer. At least the game’s low-res textures look better on PSP’s lower-res screen.

The career mode finally last longer than a season, but GM mode still needs a major overhaul; lacking many of the enhancements found on PS2 and 360, Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 is an upgrade only in the eyes of diehard WWE fans who want to wrestle as The Great Khali or Umaga on the go.

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales is a great “starter” title for younger gamers, to introduce them to the Final Fantasy universe. One of the sharper-looking titles on the DS to date!

The game has a robust online element to it, and also plays well in solo mode.

The sequel we’ve all been waiting for since the original Tomb Raider hit PSone. But not as lovely on PSP, so get the PS2 or 360 version!

MLB 2K6 is solid, but graphic ugliness ruins the whole stew.

A solid action game, but not a "must have" title.

It’s a quick ‘n easy port of the arcade and Dreamcast games, which may be enough for fans who want Crazy Taxi on the go, but those of us not blinded by nostalgia will be frustrated by the game’s shortcomings caused by the choice of platform and the simple onset of time.

Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch isn’t a bad RPG, but its lack of freshness is a major strike against it. If you can get past that, you’ll find some fun to be had for a few dozen hours or so.

Despite all of the new graphical features, Prey innovates little and borrows heavily from tried and true predecessors.
