Don't get me wrong, this is a great version of the game that improves upon the original. I just want to impress upon you that you won't have any new experience, beyond the Wii remote.

Not as good as the first game, but far more enjoyable in multiplayer than in single-player mode.

The game seems to be designed to be rented rather than purchased, as it is not only boring, but short as well. Have a few friends over and knock this one out in an evening. Then return it and never think about it again.

A weak handheld title, that doesn't give any reason to run out and get it. This is a passable title, but barely. If you have every other action title mastered, and a long flight then I'd recommend it.

Pac-Man: Championship Edition is a surprisingly fun retooling of the classic that may even find fans in those that didn’t care for the original. It’s just a shame it’s a tad feature-poor and a little pricey.

A powerhouse at multiplayer, a pinto at single player, if you have a group of friends or the patience to wait for the online players, this is a must have.

If you have a little girl (or perhaps a somewhat effeminate little boy) that loves ponies, you really can’t go wrong with Pony Friends. While it’s not quite as polished and ambitious as Nintendogs was, it’s still surprisingly good, and head and shoulders above most other virtual pet games.

Mad Tracks makes for a nice distraction, but it’s doubtful that you’ll want to play this for more than ten minutes at a time.

Forza 2 is a great game for novices and gearheads alike. Play it simple or fiddle with every last thing you can – the game works both ways.

Shadowrun doesn’t just trample on the memories of the classic RPGs many people fondly remember. It’s a sham and a rip-off, especially on the Xbox 360. If you absolutely must buy this game, buy it on the PC. Better yet, don’t buy it at all, at least not until it hits the bargain bin.

Don’t be fooled by comparisons to Super Paper Mario – Crush is its own unique animal, and a puzzle game through-and-through. However, if that’s what you’re looking for, Crush delivers with a fresh concept, a solid presentation and some truly enjoyable dimension-twisting puzzles.

Despite a nice-looking game with well-done subplots for minor characters, the game is fundamentally flawed.

Like vinyl, Adventure Games’ nostalgic qualities are aiding a comeback of sorts. With the resurrection of Sam and Max, as well as some other notable titles, the bargain bin quality of The Secrets of Atlantis doesn’t warrant a second glance.

A great introduction to crosswords on a handheld system. The engine is a great asset to a handheld that has provided new ways to play many pen and paper puzzles. For crossword junkies, this is a must-have.

Dawn of Mana is an extremely beautiful game that is irreparably broken both functionally and conceptually. It may look like a dream, but it’s a nightmare to play.

We don’t get many dating games here in the states, which makes Brooktown High somewhat unique. Unfortunately, the slow pace and lack of opportunity to actually socialize with the other students makes this a game that does little to capitalize on that fact.

It's hard to play, but if you like the tabletop version of the game you'll enjoy having this one on the go.

Where before there was too little, here there is not enough worth getting involved with. The home console installments are usually worth your time, but Namco-Bandai has yet to make a handheld Naruto worth it.

Another case of too much for too little. The extremely simple gameplay and unimpressive graphics just don’t justify a $30 price tag, and arguably wouldn’t even justify even a $20 or $15 price tag.

If you’re looking for a PS2 RPG with a unique personality, Odin Sphere’s the game for you.

It’s a shame that it’s so boring to play that putting up with the game just for its presentation seems like walkin’ the plank because you wants to get to heaven.

Poor execution dystroyed this game, with a little polish and better design work this could have been a really fun game.

This is the best of the Pirates games this summer, and adventure platformers are a throwback that is worth revisting.

Touch the Dead might give some loyal Nintendo-owning parents a heart palpitation; this isn’t a Mario title, Mom and Dad. So save it for when the kids are asleep and the two of you want to get scared-n-cozy!

Yes, it’s free. It’s also repetitive, tedious, unambitious and boring. You know how they say “time is money”? Don’t spend your time on this game.

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.

Shrek the Third is probably one of the best platformers on the Xbox 360. Too bad there aren’t more to compare it to.

This is a take it or leave it kind of game, and it would be good for fans, but doesn't offer anything unique beyond the license.
