    Doesn't deliver the exact experience of that on the PC, but in watering the formula down just a tad, EA has managed to create an experience all its own.

    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.

    Running the game smoothly without a good system is going to be hard, but at least you’ll be treated to some imaginative gameplay.

    Lumines Live is expensive, and isn’t without its problems, but it’s still one of the best things you’ll play on Live Arcade.

    Final Fantasy III benefits from a complete makeover in its first US appearance, transforming from the ugly duckling of the mainline Final Fantasy series into a must-have for DS owners!

    I came to this series knowing not what lay ahead. Imagine my surprise when I found a beautifully crafted fantasy realm that reminded me both of the Disciples series and the more recent Warcraft III.

    The game is short, but it almost seems like a good thing, as too much more of it would have been too much. Again, the game is great fun (even given some frustrating camera issues that make it difficult to pinpoint an enemy causing Tequila damage), but it’s best in small doses.

    The design of the game will be familiar to all fans of the series, and I believe it’s safe to saw that Grandia III may be the best installment of the series so far. A must-have, especially for fans of the series.

    Gun
    Gun is intense and packed with violence and action, but it is extremely brief and tends to overdose on the M-rated excesses.

    Mercury Meltdown Revolution may be a port of a game in a genre the Wii already has in plentiful supply, but it’s a solid port, a good game, and at an ideal price. That adds up to a great value that’s well worth checking out.

    It's a solid game for baseball junkies, but it's paced like...well, a baseball game. You've got to be into it to get anything out of it.

    For DS owners that haven’t played Brain Age yet, it may be hard to understand what the hype is about. Let me give you a word of advice – take your DS to one of those demo download kiosks Nintendo has in game stores, or find a friend with a copy of the game and download a demo from them. Only after trying it will you have an idea just how fun this title is.

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

    I know a lot of people will feel there are better uses for their new game system than a minigame collection, but I also know that many of these same people will be having a blast with their family playing Wii Sports during the holidays.

    It’s still fun after all these years and plays better than many fancy 3D fighters that could be named. It is well worth the small cost.

    Easily the best TH on a portable Nintendo system. Well worth your time if you're a fan of the series. It may not be the best introduction to the series, but it's a great game nonetheless.

    This is a game that caters for all players; from war enthusiasts to war-hating vegetarians.

    This game is a love letter to gamers that grew up with the Vic Viper and ring-spitting Easter Island heads, but it’s just as easily enjoyed by those that never played the Gradius games and are looking for a good old-fashioned arcade-style thrill.

    A worthy sequel. You get what is advertised - more of Tony Montana. If you want open ended crime gaming, get another game. This is Tony Montana you're dealing with here.

    The MVP engine still has some competitive advantages, but for the franchise to thrive, a move up to PS3, 360 and Wii is essential. The PS2 edition just feels dated.

    A fun title that doesn't take itself super serious. A good breath of air for a subject that sorely needs it.

    It’s hard to find fault with a game that does so many things so well.

    The core gameplay that made the first game so great is still here, and considering that most fans of the original are undoubtedly eager for more, this game will certainly quench their thirst... for justice!

    The wealth of multiplayer options rounds out an assortment of gameplay modes that provide a ton of gameplay that should keep you busy until the next installment.

    Not as fun as a genuine Starfox, but it's a fair offering for his first handheld adventure.

    Not as inventive at Sim City, but this clone brings some new elements to the table, making City Life one worth living.

    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.

    Remember playing Lemmings "back in the day"? If you do and can't be bothered to search out any of the free versions for the PC or if you want to be able to play it "on the go" then this is for you.

    The framerate is horribly inconsistent and random glitches in character models mar the visuals.
