The only thing that holds Evidence: The Last Ritual back is its excessive difficulty; otherwise, The Adventure Company has yet again crafted an amazingly vivid game that breaks expectations of what an adventure game can do.

While improved in many ways, Untold Legends: The Warrior’s Code is still too generic to tell an emotionally-satisfying tale that can compete with Final Fantasy.

A better-than-expected billiards and snooker sim can be found under the somewhat sleezy, “Skinemax” softcore wrapping.

Chess-nerds, rejoice! The game that beat Gary Kasparov is back and it knows the game a whole lot better than you ever will!

Like Arthur and Excalibur, Felt and the Azoth are part of destiny... one that includes becoming part of any tactical-RPG loving gamer's library.

Generation of Chaos delivers real-time strategy thrills on the go; but Disgaea fans be warned: this is not turn-based tactics!

Transformers The Game is as underwhelming as Transformers The Movie. A lot of missed potential. Too bad.

This is wasted potential for a surprise hit. Great graphics and classic fast-paced action would be absolutely awesome if it wasn’t so darn repetitive.

A good pick for kids that love Nickelodeon; of course, expect to buy another game shortly after gifting due to the unimpressive length. At least it looks good and is a bit of fun.

Get more friends, get more controllers, get Red Hot Rumble. In that order only.

While PaRappa the Rapper isn't worth the initial asking price, its mix of clever songs, cute graphics, and downloadable content make it a great bargain bin purchase.

Has a lot going for it, especially in the graphical department. Unfortunately, gameplay issues sap most of the fun out of the game.

Save the money and get the original Xbox version.

For puzzle game addicts, this is going to be a necessary purchase, but wait for the price to drop significantly.

It looks good, it's fun to play and thee's a lot to do around the farm. Young gamers who enjoyed the movie will find a lot to enjoy here.

Barely more than a clone of God of War, Conan manages to differentiate itself with an over-the-top style and mature themes. The action has its ticks, but a hardcore action aficionado will find a lot to like here.

Overcomes what could have been crippling flaws with the same addictive gameplay, and the controls are what sells this title.

The controls have become needlessly complicated and gameplay so slow that only advanced players will truly enjoy the depth to be found here.

If you haven't done so already, do yourself a favor and get a copy of "Dark Cloud 2," which plays a bit like this and is a lot better. Steambot Chronicles isn't a bad game - it's just not very good.

Cooking Mama: Cook-Off is a good idea that just hasn’t been done well here. The game’s controls just don’t work as they should.

The game is rated “M” and one of the descriptors is “Language.” This is because the nondescript soldiers shout out obscenities when under fire, randomly and without much purpose. It’s a weird little quirk, and one wonders if the designers did just to ensure an “M” rating.

The DS version of Spider-Man 3 is a lot like the DS version of Spider-Man 2, but with a new, slick touchscreen interface that, while nice, does nothing to address the problems the last game had.

This is a hard sell, but if you like puzzles check it out. The game is rewarding, but bring your own music to the party.

It's almost a no-brainer that kids who enjoy the movie will enjoy the game. It does a great job capturing the feel and the look.

Root of Evil tries to get at the root of the original game’s flaws, but comes up short. Essentially more of the same, the game does offer a bit of enjoyment in its wacky combat; however, problems with the camera and controls make it no more than an average action platform game.

A decent reworking of the original, but those allergic to cartoons won't find much to enjoy.

Test Drive: Unlimited wasn’t specifically intended for handheld play and it shows. The wealth of content is staggering and the presentation pristine; however, a sense that this game has been unnecessarily squeezed down to size causes it to miss its potential.

Barely more than a clone of God of War, Conan manages to differentiate itself with an over-the-top style and mature themes. The action has its ticks, but a hardcore action aficionado will find a lot to like here.
