    Essentially, Xotic is a fun distraction that has the potential to become a great franchise.

    Gangs of London incongruity between style, substance, and basic gaming mechanics is disappointing.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Battlegrounds works as a distraction and a fun party game for hardcore gamers. However, Red Faction: battlegrounds falls well short of being a fully featured XLA game that demands the attention of gamers.

    Streets have a cool atmosphere, an interesting cast, and some fun beat em' up action. I really dug how the pulled away the restrictions gave us an environment and let us beat down anyone we want.

    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.

    On the surface Superman Returns is impressive and the actual act of playing flying around the city as Superman is fun, but the lack of any real story hurts the overall experience.

    Above average, 7 Wonders is worth picking up if you enjoy the Bejeweled style of gaming.

    Ape Escape Academy has traded in capturing monkeys for a school full of fun and frustrating mini-games. I was thrown a little off guard, but the end results provide an entertaining package.

    For what Fairytale Fights sets out to accomplish it does so triumphantly. The big deal here is the price, and as it stands Playlogic is asking full retail value for the game, so that means Fairytale Fights is going to be the same price as something as involved as Dragon Age.

    While not entirely bad, Knights Contract feels like another missed opportunity to capitalize on a good concept, something 'Game Republic' is sadly perfecting.

    Bodycount is a no-brains needed arcade shooter that provides a few hours of embellished destruction.

    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.

    This ambitious game is a little rough around the edges concerning the production which unfortunately hinders many of the gameplay aspects.

    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.

    Kung-Fu Live is a clever and often hysterical use of the PlayStation Eye, one that is oft-wonky but a fun ride and workout nonetheless. For $15, it's hard not to suggest a go.

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

    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.

    My Horse & Me is a well produced family oriented game that focuses on the fun of owning a horse. Spending time with your virtual horse is stress free, simple to learn and most importantly, fun.

    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.

    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.

    Over G Fighters is for the hardcore fans of modern aircraft simulations. There isn't much here besides the accuracy of the jets and a few entertaining dogfights.

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

    Domino Master is nothing more than dominos in five flavours with the ability to go online. If this excites you then you should download Domino Master right away, for now this is the one-and-only domino game on Live.

    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.

    The Fight: Lights Out is an ambitious fight simulator that sets out and accomplishes most of what it claims to do. Learning and fitness curves are high, but patience and realistic expectations produce some fine results.

    SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters DS is an average showing from SNK Playermore. Lazy in translation, it seems they have missed an opportunity to make something special for strategy fans, Capcom and SNK enthusiasts, and card battling fanatics.

    A solid action game for the Nintendo DS. Even if you're not a fan of the film you will have fun running around beating up dudes, sneaking around, and various other espionage type activities.

    A fun diversion, or guilty pleasure that doesn’t have any substance is the best way to discribe Gamelofts version of single life in Miami.

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

    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.

    Average would be the word for And 1, but I wouldn't throw Black Ops and Ubi out of the game just yet. A little more polish, reworking of the controls and maybe And 1 Streetball II can play with the big boys.

    Overall, and with all its flaws, N3II is still worth a look for anyone who is looking for an alternative fantasy based action game... and for all the hack n' slash fans, this one's easy... pick it up!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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."

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

    With all the gameplay problems in The Rise of Cobra and its oddly missing online co-op play, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra falls into the rental category rather than a full out purchase. Until the price drops, I’d hold up for a movie ticket, or a few good hours of watching old Joe cartoons.

    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.

    Depending on your expectations, Clash is likely going to disappoint, and even with all its heart and extra features, the core mechanics are slightly dated, which brings the action down a notch.

    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.

    Ubisoft had great hopes and ambition when planning and creating MotionSports Adrenaline, but when an fast paced extreme sports game has unresponsive controls, it leaves you feeling very let down and frustrated.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    ‘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.

    ‘Assault Heroes’ is a solid – if not spectacular – top-down shooter with a new home on PSN. A semi-high price point hampers its value, but still worth a look for fans of the genre…especially in co-op.

    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.
