    Though lacking in length and complexity, Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law makes for a nice tide-me-over snack in attorney sim games until the next Phoenix Wright game hits store shelves. And Adult Swim fans will like it.

    Undertow is a whole lot of fun, and it delivers a full size game in a small package. The classic arcade action makes it easy to pick up, but it manages to deliver enough depth to keep you engaged.

    Absolutely - bar none - THE must-own game of 2007 on ANY platform. Mass Effect is damn near perfect!

    This is a great game all around, and the few gripes really don’t amount to much. Get some friends, get this game, and get rockin’!

    With EA Sports’ March Madness still only treading stale water, 2K Sports continues to innovate, staying ahead on game play appeal. College Hoops 2K8 for PS3 is the king of next-gen console college hoops titles.

    With EA Sports’ March Madness still only treading stale water, 2K Sports continues to innovate, staying ahead on game play appeal. College Hoops 2K8 for PS2 is the king of previous-gen college hoops titles, but it’s lacking the shine it once sported.

    The board game is still essentially a dice powered foot race. The boss fights were a step in the right direction, but the rules of the game itself need to be refreshed. However for what it is it's great.

    It’s not the most original game on the PS3, but it’s easily one of the best. This is a must-have in any PS3 owner’s library.

    This is worth playing all the way through, the developers reward you for wading through their world.

    SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 may be the only major pro wrestling title in town, but it's a good one and, unlike Madden with the NFL license, doesn't let its exclusivity lead to a lack of innovation and improvement. A solid upgrade!

    While some PS2 owners will be glad their old platform is getting some port-down love, the game just isn't getting any better from a graphical standpoint.

    The PSP is hot again and SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 for PSP is along for the ride; but it doesn't measure up to Silent Hill: Origins, Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions, Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness or Jeanne d'Arc.

    With the most familiar controls of any version released this year, the Xbox 360 version edges out the PS3 version this season, by a hair.

    It’s a Doom RPG from cell phones with a fantasy theme ported to the DS. Odd? Sure, but it’s a good, unique dungeon crawler that’s surprisingly addictive in spite of its somewhat simplistic nature. If you’re a fan of the genre (or simply curious), it’s certainly worth your while to try it out.

    Any gripes I have about this package are about the games themselves and not the quality of the port. Suffice it to say, if you like Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Puzzle Kombat, this is a great package that does justice to both games.

    Sure, it's too short, but it's also inexpensive, and it's so fun to play you'll be begging for more. Definitely worth a download!

    Dragon Quest Monsters – Joker delivers some much-needed freshness to the monster collecting genre, but don’t expect it to be Dragon Quest IX. It’s just pure monster-collecting fun.

    If your little girl wants a pet-raising game, Nintendogs is still the best bet. If she likes horses and ponies better than dogs, I’d point her to Pony Friends. However, Horse Life is still an excellent addition to this genre, and well worth checking out if the resident pony lover is looking for something with a bit less pony interaction and a bit more actual game.

    SOCOM: Tactical Strike isn’t the action-based affair most series fans are accustomed to, but the real-time strategy title is good at what it does. Graphically impressive on PSP, SOCOM: Tactical Strike is worth a look.

    Call of Duty 4 is the whole package – both a spectacular single-player campaign and one of the best multiplayer modes I’ve ever encountered in a FPS. It’s got some of the best graphics ever to appear in a videogame, some of the best sound and voice acting, wonderful controls, and plenty of variety to keep the interest up and adrenaline flowing.

    One of the better offerings in the genre and worth picking up.

    Trivia isn't for everyone, but this game is well executed, and I would like to see them tackle some other genres.

    Jerry Seinfeld plus Xbox 360 platformer equals lots of gaming goodness.

    If you can have only one racing game on the DS, get Mario Kart DS. However, after that, you’d do well to check out Pixar’s Cars: Mater-National Championship.

    Not having wires across the floor gives great freedom to the player and encourages stage antics, a great addition to any party.

    Deep career mode with tons of challenges; fun online features; a decent song list with more available as add-ons. What more could the next Eddie Van Halen, Edge, Eric Clapton or Oz Fox ask for?

    There are so few games that get air combat right, but Ace Combat hits the nail on the head. From the huge scale air support missions to the vicious online dogfights, everything about this game is perfect. Its limited appeal is offset by the fact it serves that audience so well.

    This is the kind of game we were promised when the Wii was in development, and it is nice to see someone other than Nintendo deliver on those promises. Capcom has a real gem here, but you have to play it to understand.

    This is made for the hardcore set, there's no doubt. It is nice to see a game that doesn't phone it in for the late platform, and delivers a great title. Capcom has done a nice job, and delivered something that would have created quite a stir in the PS2's prime.

    If you've never played the first Tomb Raider, this is a great way to go about it. If you have, this is a great way to get reacquainted with it.
