    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.

    PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient isn’t a great tool for any real standardized measurement of how brainy a person is, but it is a very well done variant on the puzzle genre.

    A worthy expansion to the game and admit it, you want to cast Lava in your town. I know you do.

    It's not "Oblivion," and it's not trying to be. Enchanted Arms is to Tactics-style RPGs what Oblivion was to action-RPGs. A solid next-gen effort from an underdog developer.

    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.

    Regardless of all of these problems, Earth Defense Force 2017 is still wonderful, stupid fun that manages to surpass its lowly production values and shoddy appearance to become a surprisingly superb game.

    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.

    The control just really brings it down. Offering some level of sensitivity control would have been nice. Offering support for using the nunchuk/classic controller/GC controller for more classic style of TH control would have been awesome.

    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.

    Blitz the League repackages a year old game for the next generation, but it's a GOOD game. Worth picking up if you don't have the original version.

    Because of their speedy nature, Sonic games really necessitate fresh surroundings, and especially in an on-rails game, different locales help to give the feeling that you’re actually progressing. Unfortunately, because of that these forced challenge levels work against the game, and that’s a shame, because otherwise Sonic and the Secret Rings may have very well been that comeback game Sonic has desperately needed.

    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.

    The new design segments game play dramatically, but the core excitement of horse racing is brought across more than ever in Gallop Racer 2006.

    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.

    It's not that the game is very bad, it's that the game doesn't ever try to be very good.

    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.

    Call of Duty 3 on Wii somehow slipped through the development cracks. Awkward controls, less impressive visuals, and a total lack of multiplayer make it less desirable than its counterparts on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

    Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is just too little, too late, and released at the worst time imaginable. It is a game that was quite frankly doomed to be forgotten.

    Really not a bad starting point for the series' North American debut. A bit more focus on the set list and this will be doing alright.

    This is one of the few games released for the holiday buzz that seems to measure up to being a game, not an advertisement.

    If you're looking for a shooter on the Xbox, there are countless others that are more involving than this one. The gameplay in Painkillers: Hell Wars has been out of style for a decade.

    It's slow paced and you'll get tired of hearing the same jokes and trash-talk over and over again, but serious poker fanatics will enjoy the big-name players and casual players will enjoy the feel of playing a game with their buddies.

    If you’ve never played The Sims 2 before, this is the latest console version and the one you should use. For anyone else, it’s simply not enough new content to merit a full-priced purchase.

    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.

    Keepsake is a very enjoyable game for the most part, although you may find yourself pulling your hair out at times. You should definitely give this game a try, if only for the beautiful graphics and design.

    While it still very much feels like a sequel, everything is bigger, better, and more stylish. In the end, Def Jam: Icon manages to feel like a fresh experience instead of more of the same.

    All in all, Dr. Sudoku is a fair to decent portable version of sudoku, albeit the game has some moderate faults in the presentation and some other annoyances here and there. If you're a fan of sudoku, you'll probably get your money's worth out of this game.

    Strategy fans that are tired of war should purchase this outright. Everybody else should at least give this a try.

    It’s better than you think, but it's only to be played in small doses.
