When you are running at full speed as Sonic, hitting all the boosts, pulling off the loops, and outrunning the Orca whale as it demolishes the very pier you are running on (still the best part of the game), you remember why the game is so much fun. Those parts alone are almost worth the price of admission. It's just that pesky rest of the game that ends up ruining all the fun.

Don't expect miracles, just a fun sand boxed movie based game that can hold your attention for a short while.

Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party 2 isn’t the hottest party on the block. Gamers who own another console besides the Wii should consider one of the many other versions that have been released.

The Urbz has tones of personality and original style which is commended, but the negative vibe of all this style and social status voodoo is that it might be teaching improper stereotypes about certain groups in society.

Ah Cross Edge how I wanted to love thee, it’s too bad the clunky menus, overused traditional storytelling and mediocre fighting system wouldn’t let me.

If the thought of realistic flight modeling, amazing graphics and gameplay, and historical fact scare you, then this budget game might be up your alley.

DualPenSports is a misguided attempt at starting a 3DS franchise based on a technically and practically ineffective gimmick.

Matt Hazard: Blood, Bath and Beyond’ for the Playstation Network is a sarcastic take on ‘Contra’ that fails to channel the retro gaming feel is sorely craves. Awkward control and humor make the title difficult to justify at its current price point.

An interesting idea that doesn’t come to full bloom. A horror flavoured stealth game with a Splinter Cell offense versus undead Vampire creatures could be something gamers really bite into. Poor graphic quality, lazy missions and level design really hurt Vampire Rain making the end product feel more like a budget title then the full price offering it is listed at.

Spectral Souls is going to appeal to the fan who likes to take their time with an RPG and learn the intrictacies of the game. Spectral Souls expects you to invest a lot of time and if that's something you don't have you can safely put this one aside.

Although the world is fresh and visually enjoying they stick to the basics and wrap this movie adaptation into an average hack n' slash package.

Transformers: The Game is an average showing with a lot of potential that was wasted by the limited plot line of the movie, repetitive mission objectives and a faulty game engine.

Compared to the previous Call of Juarez titles, The Cartel is a colossal disappointment.

Despite its cool cast of characters and excellent concept, Blazing Lizards had a good starting point that missed the mark.

Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed is not going to restore this franchise to its former glory.

Naughty Bear wanted to be so much more, and possibly could have been with a little more variety and tightening up of the core mechanics.

In translation from the PC it seems the evil porting gremlins have infected another PC-console port leaving gamers with experience that makes Dark Messiah really hard to love.

The best thing Activision could have done is discounted the price making Payback closer to a budget title. At the current price point, I can’t recommend Solider of Fortune: Payback for anything more than a rental.

The production, gameplay, and storytelling mechanics all scream 1997, and 1997 is when ‘Last Rebellion’ should have been released. Compared to the lot of games that have come out on the PS3 as of late, ‘Last Rebellion’ is an embarrassment.

This game has a lot of potential and with another year of development could have been a great game for someone of any age. What we’re left with is a boring, stale, tedious shell of a game that simply won’t appeal to anyone.

It’s obvious, Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad isn’t for everyone. The low production values, old school button mashing gameplay and exploitive use of half naked woman might turn the majority of gamers off Onechanbara zombie mashing, however these same facts might help the game attract a certain audience.

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is an excellent game idea that doesn’t live up to its potential. Turning Point is filled with dull missions, simplistic artificial intelligence, dated graphics, and a whole pile of over used mojo.

Bionic Command: Rearmed 2 is definitely more frustrating than it is fun, and that never adds up to a winning formula.

The game never really settles and misses out in two main areas of RPGs that being the story and combat. I admire the attempt to go in a new direction, but it just didn’t work out this time.

Dead Block is a building defense game with a lot of potential, but ends up being too shallow and repetitive.

Lucha Libre isn't going to be crowned the king of the ring anytime soon. This Mexican flavoured grappler has the ambition and look, but in the rings things fail to come together. The in-ring action is just too sluggish with controls that match.

It's nice to see Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's characters finally represented in gaming form and the mojo tries to support the old school heroes, but there isn't enough umph in the end.

Spider-Man: Edge of Time needs to create its own quantum causality to remedy itself from beat em' up boredom.

Buy if you must, Sponge fans.. other's wait for another version.

Naruto Shippuden Legends: Akatsuki Rising is a middle of the road experience that will likely keep the hardcore Naruto fans content while the others wonder what so special about Naruto anyway.

Tetris Evolution isn’t really an evolution of any sorts, it’s more like devolution. I felt "Tetris Worlds" was a far superior product that didn’t try to add flash to cover up for its lack of content.

If you already own Dungeon Hunter for your PS3, then I would stay away from this one. Aside from some minimal takes on control which do nothing to improve the gameplay, this is exactly the same game.

Although I hate to bring up price while reviewing a game, its hard to ignore that you can purchase Asphalt 6 for all iOS devices for a mere 99cents while Injection will run you a cold $29.99.

Warhammer: Battle March alienates mainstream gamers with its unfriendly mission structure, drab graphics and confusing control scheme.

Overall, Neverland is a little too dated at is in the tough market of strategy games on the PSP which hurt its overall appeal.

Like the stereotypical politician, Hail to the Chimp promised more than it can deliver.

If you're a Gundam or Dynasty Warriors fan, this is pretty much a no brainer as it's probably one of the best games in the series to be released outside of Japan thus far. Unfortuantely that's not saying much.

Sadly, besides the online portion 25 to Life is a dated effort that seems too generic, and overall dull.

Blood Drive had potential. However, there isn't enough game here to satisfy your sweet tooth. The idea of having an alternative Twisted Metal is extremely enticing, but Blood Drive can't deliver due to its shortage of modes and abandoned online mode. Unless you are really hard up for a vehicle combat game, I can't fully recommend Blood Drive.

Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project is going to appeal to a very niche market of gamers, mainly the ones who have found memories of playing the original Duke games, or even this 2D offshoot.

Sonic Unleashed had promise, and actually part of the game is pretty decent, but its too bad the entire game wasn't completed with the mindset of "Day" Sonic. Sorry Sonic, gamers pass on this one.

I can not recommend Science of Evil on the PSP, if you want a good Hellboy experience pick up a comic, or check out the film.

This game version sadly falls in the worst of all three media releases behind the graphic novel, and motion picture.

I wish it wasn't true, but X-Men: Destiny is a dud

Its a shame that Darkest of Days didn’t turn out better. One thing that is for sure is that Darkest of Days doesn’t feel 100% complete.

Vertigo is a Marble Madness attempt gone horribly awry. Uninspired graphics, poor physics, and confounding level design combine for a disappointing download experience. Even the bottom end of the 'Monkey Ball' series is a better go.

A flat out bomb, just like the pictures ticket sales. It's a shame Electronic Arts had to develop a movie version of Catwoman without the freedom of using the real feline character from the comics. Stay away from this game.

I think blowing little plastic chunks off the enemy is great, and if done right would be a blast. There is some mojo to be found in the plastic patriots, but a serious overhaul if overdue.

Robotron has to be the weakest link in the line up of Midway games for Xbox Live Arcade. Simply because of Midways Smash TV which is a superior game that is more fun.

‘Kurulin Fusion’ – despite its low $4.99 price point – is simply not worth the gaming and dollar investment. Its unimaginative take on the ‘stack and match’ genre is unbalanced both in gameplay and difficulty.

I honestly think Fuzion Frenzy 2 would be better served over the Xbox Live Marketplace as an Arcade title, then a full disc release.

The concept of Destiny really is original, and should have made for a great game, but instead we are left with a final product that feels unfinished and rushed to completion with many sacrifices made along the way.

But beyond a quick whisking into mayhem, Genkibowl is lacking more of, well everything.

A game like this had potential to be more than just button masher for the kids.

Mad Tracks is a missed hit.

Collecting balloons, searching an island for an race to compete in, fighting with the awkward controls are all part of Diddy Kong Racing that wasn’t appealing.

Malice has some of the campiest voice work I have heard to date. It's not horrible by any means, but the dialog between the characters is pretty lame.

Transformers: Cybertron Adventure is one adventure you will want avoid, even if you are a die-hard Transformers fan.

Unless you have a young kid that likes all kind of sports and want a family friendly game then you could try this one, but there's others out there that are far better for the same price. Or you could just stick to Wii sports.

Unless you're a die-hard fan, there's no reason to pick this one up.

Yes, Combat: Task Force 121 is a budget title, but the low price factor can't excuse it from being so poorly developed... especially when stacking up to other budget titles like "Phantom Dust" & "Scrapland."

However, nothing could make me recommend Power Gig to the masses. The system is simply broken and can't live up to anyone's expectations.
