    A mighty fine take on the genre. A solid game that's worth owning.

    It's a fun trip down memory lane, but it makes you seriously wonder how much longer Capcom is going to repackage decade-old fighters instead of giving us "Street Fighter 4."

    Even fans of the series may be hard-pressed to find this a worthwhile purchase – they already know the story.

    The movements of the characters are nigh hilarious and detract from a true serious experience. If you don't get hung up on that, you will probably have just a grand ole time.

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

    Finding your groove in this game, if you are new to this sort of thing that is, takes a good amount of time.

    While the Secrets of Da Vinci is hardly a masterpiece, it still has glimmers of genius and intrigue. The game has obviously been well thought-out, and is a nice way to pass the weekend; but sadly there is nothing to make you want to play through a second time.

    It just doesn't manage to appeal to either the hardcore sports gamer, but fans of And 1 will get a kick out of playing with their favorite stars. Anyone else might be better off holding out for a better game.

    If you're looking for a PSone/early PS2-quality turn-based RPG on PSP... keep on looking.

    The addition of new content makes the game a worthwhile purchase for any serious racing fan, though the lack of online multiplayer means you'll be racing alone.

    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.

    Stunts and Effects is more than a minor expansion pack; it adds enough new wrinkles to renew your interest in the year-old, but still fun, original game, The Movies.

    It's possibly the first decent Pixar game. Young gamers who liked the movie will get a kick out of it, but older gamers will be better off with the dozens of other racing games out there.

    Cars is a good adaptation of the Pixar film, providing a fun kart racer appealing to the younger crowd, with racing AI good enough to captivate older racing game fans.

    I feel bad giving this game a terrible rating, because it wasn't terrible. It just wasn't really that good, either. If you're a big fan of the movie, it might, maybe, be worth a look, but you'd probably be better served by a full console version.

    There are better driving games, certainly, but if you absolutely must have a driving game based on this movie, this is pretty much your only choice.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It lacks replay value, but forms a good matched set with Brain Age.
    • 68 Metascore

    There is a reason why this type of game has been around, and the twists on the gameplay for the DS version make it worth owning, even a must have, for puzzle fans.

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

    Newbie or veteran, fan or critic, you will enjoy this game. Blood Money is frustrating enough to be challenging, but fun enough to keep you coming back for more. Best game in the series.

    If you want Texas Hold 'Em, there are plenty of other ways to get it. This game may have been alright had it been released even a year ago. As it is, Stacked just falls flat inthe face of the competition.

    Jaws Unleashed is a rather scant offering, but it could still be your new guilty pleasure. The field of shark simulators is rather narrow, and it’s entirely possible that Jaws Unleashed wins top honors just by showing up. Perfect for kicking back and turning your brain off, but not much more.

    One of the best sci-fi military shooters that the PS2 has seen. It's short, but with high replay value and a lot of extra content.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    One of those "maybe worth a rental" kind of things. But with the frustration this game gives you in pursuit of that simple guilty pleasure, it may not even be worth it for those just looking to wreak a little bloody carnage.

    X-Men fans would do better to stick with the "Legends" games. If you absolutely need some mutants on the go, however, you could certainly do worse.

    All told, it would be highly recommended at half the price. As it is, $20 is too much for such a simple game. It's fun to be sure, at least in short bursts to "clear the palate" of puzzle games, but it doesn't have what it takes to be something that will last long into the future.

    It’s a collection of decent puzzles surrounded by a bad movie tie-in.
