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

Juka is just too tedious. It feels too much like work, and what good qualities the game does have don't seem like they're worth working for.

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

A game whose defining gameplay mechanic is terribly broken, and whose remaining gameplay mechanics fail to make for a worthwhile game. Probably worth checking out if you're a fan of the film, but otherwise, don't bother.

Once you're done, start hoping with me that they will some day work out the licensing issues to do a Marvel/DC game like this so we can see Spider-Man and Batman pair up to bring down... oh, pretty much anybody. We can hope, right?

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.

If you've already played the Xbox version there is absolutely no reason to play this version other than to add gamerpoints to your pile.

This game is one uncreative mess.

If you have fond memories of this game, and don’t mind the 360’s crappy D-pad, go for it, I guess. Everyone else, you’re better off getting Street Fighter II or, better yet, the latest Mortal Kombat game when it comes out.

Don't know where to start when getting a game for a girl? This is a good place. Nancy Drew has been around for years for a reason, and this mystery adventure does a good job of fitting in with the franchise.

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.

They're great buys for the children in your life, but the older Spongebob fan will find nothing of note here.

If you like aprehending criminals with some humor and nonsequitous bad taste then this is for you.

Yes, it's fun, but nothing really new enough to warrant a recommendation. Die-hard Battlefield fans will see plenty of value, all others should stick with what they already have.

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

Justice League Heroes may offer teams of two instead of teams of four when you play, but its superior two-player dynamic and far superior story make Justice League Heroes more fun than "Marvel Ultimate Alliance," despite the eye-candy edge held by Activision’s title.

Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs lives up to its role as an expansion pack: rather than shaking up the core game, it manages to offer up enough enhancements to make it interesting.

Had there been a shorter time limit imposed on many of the games, or some sense of progression where different jobs kept coming then WTF would have been easy to recommend. As it is, only those that really enjoy the weird sense of humor that comes out of Japan will “get” the game and want to continue playing it for longer than it takes to get 8 mushrooms across the street.

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.

Surprisingly fun. If you like a good shooting game, well, this may not be perfect, but it's fun for an afternoon. Definitely worth a rental. If you're a hunting game fan, it's absolutely great.

Even if you love the Ford license, this game will just be a waste of not only your money, but your time as well.

Family Guy feels divorced from the quality of its TV show inspiration; although funny, the game play is shallow and poorly realized... even more notably on PSP. Next!

Strategy fans that have some experience under their belt will find sufficient challenge with Space Empires V. Just be sure to read the (thick) manual and go through the tutorial. All others should really think twice before picking this up.

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.

A complete disappointment. Far from fun, it holds you hand through level after level of bland action platform gameplay that makes you wish you could escape from this digital nightmare.

This one of the worst games I've ever played on the DS. There's nothing for fans of the series. They strip the cartoon into skeletal framing. There's nothing for gamers; too many bugs and too little variety.

They're great buys for the children in your life, but the older Spongebob fan will find nothing of note here.

Watching the show would be more enjoyable.
