    Mischief Makers
    I can see that Treasure and Enix attempted to put something new into platform gaming with this game. In many ways they have succeeded. What Mischief Makers lacks is the instant pick up and play familiarity that makes people comfortable with a game. From what I've seen, this title just doesn't speak to a majority of the population. It's certainly a niche market game.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All
    If you liked the original Phoenix Wright and can get past the fact that not much has changed (or improved), you should enjoy yourself.

    Far Cry Vengeance
    Certain play aspects are really fun on the Wii controls, such as driving like a maniac through the jungles, and roaring along in feral mode, swatting enemies like you're hitting a home run. But the game suffers from weak graphics, and a why-did-they-bother multiplayer mode that supports only two players.

    Disney's Chicken Little: Ace in Action
    A solid action game that feels a little like Starfox, with different battle types that always amount to you shooting everything that moves. While you can't call it revolutionary, it's got good controls and a sense of humour, so I found myself liking it.

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent
    Not as bad as I feared, not as good as I'd hoped. I find some features, such as camera control, more intuitive than even the 360 version. Other functions don't hold out so well.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Rapala Tournament Fishing!
    Rapala Tournament Fishing's controls just aren't intuitive, and worse, they're not especially responsive.
    • 48 Metascore

    Delta Force - Black Hawk Down: Team Sabre
    Team Sabre's single player game is not bad. It's got a good balance between action and strategy, and it has a very good orders system that covers everything you want and more.

    EA Replay
    I’m hoping that EA Replay makes it to another platform; I have a feeling that it will do better there.

    The History Channel: Civil War - A Nation Divided
    Smartly though, the game is very easy on the lowest setting, so even the most aim-challenged of casual gamers should be able to get far into it.

    Eragon
    It feels too much like a light copy of the Lord of the Rings button-mashers Stormfront released a few years ago, only not as good.

    Reservoir Dogs
    Mr. Pink is especially bad. He looks like a 70s porn star rather than Steve Buscemi, and occasionally he sounds like Jerry Lewis.

    Disney's Kim Possible: What's the Switch?
    This game has all the usual punching, kicking, jumping, and the occasional use of gadgets that you’ve seen in other sidescrolling type games. It plays reasonably well, and it has lots of unlockables.

    Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
    If you're looking for a fighter to just pick up and play with your friends, it's a fine addition to your library.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Family Guy
    If you're a fan of the show and you're naturally collecting the whole series on DVD, I think you'll be happy when you add this to your collection. But the Family Guy game works more as a piece of Family Guy memorabilia, rather than a game.

    Rule of Rose
    If the story doesn't grab you, then you can probably pass on Rule of Rose. Its other elements aren't nearly as satisfying.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Pac-Man World Rally
    If you prefer racing with Namco characters as opposed to Nintendo characters, this is the game for you. But Mario Kart still finishes first with everybody else far behind.

    Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
    Ripping on Final Fantasy VII is nothing short of blasphemy to some, but this follow-up just doesn't impress.

    Major League Baseball 2K6
    Solid baseball, with fun gameplay and great presentation, but poor graphics and annoying bugs means we might need to bring in a pinch-hitter.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
    A flawed but fascinating adaptation of the imaginings of one of horror's most influential writers.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Trauma Center: Under the Knife
    A fun and original game, but I wish they cut back on the difficulty level.
    • 62 Metascore

    Fantastic 4
    The graphics showing off the powers, however, are much better. Mr. Fantastic's stretching, for example, looks completely convincing.
    • 60 Metascore

    Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
    The in-game dialogue is not provided by the original actors, but sound-alikes. Their voices are pretty close, but some, especially Anakin Skywalker's, can be very monotone.
    • 81 Metascore

    WarioWare: Touched!
    Perhaps the coolest part of WarioWare is that it has lots of nods to Nintendo history. There are minigames based on classic Nintendo games, like The Legend of Zelda (touch the fairies to rescue them) and Metroid (pull alien critters off of Samus), and many more.

    Star Fox: Assault
    Don't expect lots of depth, but it is a decent shooter with lots of eye candy. Whereas "Dinosaur Planet" offered a long gaming haul, Star Fox: Assault keeps it short and sweet and simple.
    • 51 Metascore

    Death by Degrees
    Stick with "Tekken 5."
    • 60 Metascore

    Asphalt: Urban GT
    Multiplayer is a great aspect of the game. The only great aspect of the game.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Rumble Roses
    A good softcore tease with a decent wrestling game thrown in. If you're into that sort of thing.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Gretzky NHL 2005
    Overall, the game doesn't look bad, but it loses it in the details.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw
    Even the new additions to the franchise lack enough depth to warrant picking this up if you already own "Here Comes The Pain."
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Incredibles
    A light action game that ties into the movie very well, and those that loved the movie and want to spend time with these characters should enjoy it.
