A solid beat 'em up from the team that brought us Champions of Norrath and other great brawlers. Definitely worth a purchase if you want a superhero game that's actually enjoyable.

If you're a fan of Silent Hill, you need to buy this. And if you're a publisher releasing titles on UMD, you need to get this so you can see how it should be done.

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.

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.

Carol Vorderman’s Sudoku offers over one million puzzles to solve and a variety of modes, but fails to feature Vorderman to any significant degree.

Even the target audience has games in the same genre that are more well defined. While these may entertain, after one or two levels you realize that there is nothing new coming.

We hope that next year's offering will provide a much clearer vision of what the game is supposed to be.

Don't expect this game to turn you into any kind of music expert if you're not one already, but if you already have some skill, Jam Sessions is a surprisingly good tool for any musician who wants to dabble in song creation.

This is a solid game, and beyond multiplayer, not meant to be played casually. If you want to see how precise the Wii controls can be you need to check this out.

The lack of any online functionality certainly hurts the game, but you’ll still find it enjoyable nonetheless.

This is not a game, but it's also not the audiovisual tool Nintendo would like you to think it is. It's a toy, and it won't hold your attention for too long.

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

Doesn't provide much more in the way of improving upon the original formula, and manages to totally demolish the fantastic enemy AI on the trip over to Sony's console.

A good solid game worth the price of admission.

Take a look up yonder and read over the tracklist to see if it suits you, because it was seriously lacking for both me and Lisa.

PAIN would be a great game if it were actually a game. Instead, it’s like a brief demo that you’re being charged $10 to play.

If you like biting your controller and being frustrated at a game that freezes after you've failed to save it for 8 missions, it's for you.

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.

It's possibly the first decent Pixar game. Young gamers who liked the movie will get a kick out of it, but older gamers will be better off with the dozens of other racing games out there.

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.

Your kids will love it, and even older gamers can find something to enjoy in the lighthearted stealth gameplay.

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

It’s a thinking man’s war game worth a shot if you’re in the mood for something different.

Absolutely not a title I would recommend to any kid already playing other platformers like Mario, Ratchet and Clank, or Sly Cooper.

I'd recommend keeping your copy of NHL 2K7 and pretending this year's version never actually came out. Like an NHL videogamers lockout or something.

One of the best sci-fi military shooters that the PS2 has seen. It's short, but with high replay value and a lot of extra content.

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 may not be my first pick for a puzzle game to play on the DS, but Super Collapse! 3 gives players a healthy variety of game modes and options to the point where the wealth of variety makes up for an otherwise mediocre core game.
