    What could have been a generic puzzle game is made all the better by a layer of depth with the RPG elements. Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is a very fun title that can be played in short bursts as well as marathon stretches.

    Regardless of all of these problems, Earth Defense Force 2017 is still wonderful, stupid fun that manages to surpass its lowly production values and shoddy appearance to become a surprisingly superb game.

    This is a hard sell, but if you like puzzles check it out. The game is rewarding, but bring your own music to the party.

    If you're looking to relive the glory days of Pilotwings, wait for Nintendo to rerelease Pilotwings and Pilotwings 64 on the Virtual console, or go out and find a copy of Sky Odyssey on the PS2. Either option would cost a fraction of Wing Island's price tag, and you'll have far more fun with it.

    A simulation at heart that tries to dress up as an adventure. The adventure and plot are secondary, so may not be for everyone. Meant to be played here and there, rather than straight through.

    It’s better than you think, but it's only to be played in small doses.

    If you’re really dying for a great tennis game on your PC, import the European release of "Virtua Tennis 3." The PC version of Top Spin 2 is a long-overdue and shoddy port of an already imperfect game.

    Look at it this way – at 400 points, this game is essentially 20 quarters worth of gameplay. If you ever played the game in the arcade, odds are good you used up at least that many.

    A great adventure game that does everything a game is supposed to do, and while the bad habits of Hollywood march in to gaming, it still is worth every minute. Kratos could kill his way through the Mushroom Kingdom and it would be entertaining.

    The lack of any online functionality certainly hurts the game, but you’ll still find it enjoyable nonetheless.

    A decent handheld reduction of the main series with little new to offer in its short campaign and limited multiplayer.

    This is a game where the sum of the parts make a fairly satisfying whole.

    Better than the Xbox and PC versions. Still pretty darn bad.

    Are you in need of a haircut? Pick up a copy of The Sacred Rings and a couple of hours later you’ll have pulled out so much of your hair you’ll be set. Too difficult, too derivative, too damned boring.

    Carol Vorderman’s Sudoku offers over one million puzzles to solve and a variety of modes, but fails to feature Vorderman to any significant degree.

    While it still very much feels like a sequel, everything is bigger, better, and more stylish. In the end, Def Jam: Icon manages to feel like a fresh experience instead of more of the same.

    Zoey 101 is a shallow minigame collection that your kid will get bored with within an hour, even if they watch the show it's based on.

    Outside the rabid RPG fans, who will be intrigued for the unique design, there isn't any engaging experience with Rising Star for more casual players. Even the most rabid of RPG fan will yawn through the poor design.

    Are YOU the kind of Xbox 360 user that craves chaos and destruction? Do YOU enjoy games with a unique 2D presentation? Did YOU miss out on Alien Hominid when it was released last generation? If so, then YOU will probably enjoy this game.

    PS2 owners without a PSP or 360 should get this in a heartbeat, but know that you’re getting some really worn-out hand-me-downs. PS2 owners with a PSP or 360 should stick to the games on those platforms.

    The game has a robust online element to it, and also plays well in solo mode.

    It's an astounding racer that offers a lot of depth and reward to dedicated players, but might scare away the novices.

    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.

    You won’t find anything revolutionary about Chili Con Carnage, but that’s the point. Non-stop action peppered with a wacky sense of humor makes this a great handheld game. It’s easy to get over the camera issues, as long as you focus on the fun.

    Enhanced visuals, two new fighting styles, and minor combat changes simply aren’t enough to prompt a second purchase. For a first buy, however, it’s worth every penny.

    Major League Baseball 2K7 may be the only third-party MLB baseball game in town, but other than some minor quirks, it earns that distinction.

    A decent reworking of the original, but those allergic to cartoons won't find much to enjoy.

    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.
