A well made game that's a lot of fun, but it doesn't break any new ground. Worth giving a shot anyway.

Party Animals gets a little out of control with its shortcomings, but that doesn't keep it from being entertaining for the little ones. A great presentation and some quirky moments make it charming for children.

Older gamers will be able to figure their way around the harder boss battles if they are so inclined while the younger ones may get frustrated and move on.

It's so firmly steeped in the style and mythology of the series that fans already know if they'll like it or not. New players ought to start with the original, or at least volume one of the current series.

This is a good game for Spider-man fans, and although it would infuriate some players for being far too simple of a game. For others it's campy and simple nature can be charming.

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.

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.

Top Spin 2 is the first next-gen tennis game, and that in itself is bound to attract some attention. However, even with all the bells and whistles it still isn't any more fun than Virtua Tennis was so many years ago, and in fact it suffers nnumerous crippling flaws. Only the most devoted tennis fans should really care about this one.

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.

The game still provides a compelling adventure, albeit a frustrating one. The camera and aiming are deplorable, but after some time it is manageable.

This is essentially a Zuma clone on the PSP for $20. It’s light on options and doesn’t have the same style as Zuma does, but if this is the kind of game you’re looking for, it does the job.

A true sequel to the old After Burner games worthy of the series mantle, but at the same time showing just how dated the series’ gameplay looks today. Unless you still play the old arcade games, this game will feel outdated now.

It's worth playing. It's not hard, but it's still satisfying for a short while.

Fans of the old Cardfighters game or the Capcom vs SNK series in general will love this, but the cardfighting hardcore have probably already moved to Yu-Gi-Oh.

If you're a fan of the movie, it's worth at least a rental, and possibly a purchase. However, you might already own it on another system -- if so, you can ignore this version.

The structure outside the battlefield, like the country it portrays, is broken. Shattered, if you will.

Crusty Demons isn't going to be the highlight of anyone's collection, but for fans of extreme sports games, it's worth playing, and those amongst you that enjoy watching people getting hurt doing dumb tricks (you know who you are) will likely get a kick out of it too.

The new control scheme makes SvR 2007 much less of a button-masher as much of the grappling is now mapped to the right analog stick, although sometimes a combo button is needed for certain grapple follow-ups.

Get the PS2 version of this collection. Do not get this version.

In fact, with the frustratingly confusing new progression system, this game is a lot less satisfying, even for those who only want to see more boobies.

What’s more, the swearing is simply over the top. If you want to make a gritty crime drama, a few F-bombs here and there are expected, but this is just f***ing ridiculous.

Really just more of the same. While it isn’t totally lame, it does have a number of flaws that make it inferior to other hack and slash titles; in short, it’s a whole lot of action you’ve already seen.

This series holds some promise, as long as the issues with fielding are fixed by next years release (and we all know that if this sells more than four copies 2k will update the roster for next year) it'll be a great game. For now this is a quick game with friends only.

And, as long as you like a game of pretty chess against a computer or a friend that’s in the same room, this will do the trick. But if you want a teacher, a fantastical remake, a door to competition online or anything resembling comprehensive, this game will let you down.

A fun, if limited, game. Escape from Paradise City offers up something interesting for the role-playing gamer looking for a title that is a little bit different.

Not a bad game, it just doesn't feel "done" at this point, as if certain things were stripped away because they weren't working instead of being fixed for the game's release.

At the core of this mess is a title that was once one of the best games on the GameCube, but it has since grown stale with age, has lost the perfect controls that helped to define it, and traded in elements of the presentation that worked for others that only make the game worse.

This isn’t an exceptionally bad game, but it is an extremely mediocre one. The movie is a must-see, but unless you’re a huge fan of the film (or desperate for an Xbox 360 platformer), you should stay away from this one.
