If you love Shrek, and you need your Ogre fix, pick this up as a rental, otherwise I'd skip Shrek the Third the game, and head to the theater instead.

For visuals, we have the weakest area of the game.

Vehicle customization in Driver 76 is a beautiful addition that gives it a slight edge over the notorious GTA, in the vehicle department.

This new version feels like its reversing the progress Treyarch has made.

If graphics are your thing the Wii isn’t going to satisfy you, but if you’re in for the total overall experience you might want to web up this version of Spider-Man 3.

The game can get repetitive and a little stale, but in short dosages it works.

Hopefully in the future they will add more tables to add into the mix, and more importantly make them free.

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.

Generation of Chaos ends up feeling like chaos, unfocused and under whelming. A little more interface development time and instructional tutorials could have gone a long way. Plus, I wanted to be more hands on combat then a pre controlled fight.

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

Packed full of content, excellent graphics and robust character aspects meets up with overly challenging gameplay that takes away the initial fun level.

The storyline might be a little cliché, and the path is laid out for you, but as you find unveil the secrets of this dynamic world you will be captivated for as long as it lasts. Miyamoto should be proud; this is the first Mario game for the new Nintendo platform and it's a smashing hit.

Everything I expected and more and this easily one of the most addictive easy to get into puzzle games on the system with full support of Xbox Live features.

Don’t expect next gen visuals, rather an example of a top quality last gen game. The unique controls scheme seems to work for the most part in Rival Swords, and is a fun game to play on the Wii, never mind it’s the only one with this type of content on the system.

Despite the unoriginal linear storyline Enchanted Arms provides a creative list of Golems to collect, interesting and strategic combat, along with all the rest of Japanese styled finesse you’d expect in a role playing game.

Xbox 360 owners are going to benefit a little more than Playstation 3 owners with the online multiplayer modes including the cool addition of Virtua Tennis TV.

Virtua Tennis 3 has a few minor issues that can easily be overlooked given the accessible gameplay and fun factor.

The entire production feels unforced, with a overly complex storyline and repetitive meaningless missions. I wanted to love my sweet Armored Core action, but I have been denied.

The PS3 version is just as grand and impressive as the previous versions, if not slightly better in the graphics department.

Black Falcon is an updated version of the arcade game that does everything right, without loosing the original essence of the game.

TMNT is perfect for what it is, but it definitely could have been a lot more. Its unfortunate Ubisoft didn’t go with a four player game, or any Xbox Live features. Games without Multiplayer have to be strong in substance in the single player aspects, and even though TMNT is fun, it’s not good enough to fill the void of no multiplayer, or co-operative play.

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.

Quickspot is bound to surprise any gamer who lingers long enough to play a few rounds. At $20, this delightful match game might not be the next Tetris, or Brain Age, but for what it accomplishes, its spot on.

The war torn adventure is epic and dramatic following the paths of three soldiers in WWII. Despite a few nitpicks that seem to come along with all first person shooters on the PSP, Roads to Victory holds up nice given the platform.

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.

It’s strange that EA Chicago responsible for the amazing Fight Night series couldn’t capitalize on the Def Jam series.

Expands and improves on the original game with more multiplayer options, a refined single player game, and even more impressive visuals.

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

This is one pure racing experience that will test your skill while dragging you deep into the detail and testing world of Formula One racing.

Bullet Witch represents the yin and yang of gaming, balanced between good and bad aspects.

In 2007 the focus has been placed on the mound with improved artificial intelligence and new features and controls.

Even though some of the Metal Slug games can be pawed off as minor upgrades, they each have unique characteristics that keep them interesting.

Even with the cute and loveable Disney themes incorporated into Meteos there is no slack given on the challenge of the game, or the gameplay. If anything Meteos: Disney Magic is an improvement on the original game.

Even though Crackdown falls a short of becoming a classic, I have faith that another dosage of "Crack"down could be the start of something epic and memorable on the same scales as the aspiring "Grand Theft Auto" series.

Trioncube’s cute charm and interesting spin on Tetris is fun for a while until the cuteness factor and fun starts to ware.

All the new content makes up for any feelings of déjà vu as the series continues to evolve. Old standbys like the Lacerator and bolt collecting returns, but the new excitement is around new additions like the Bee Glove, new mini-games, and the inclusion of armor.

Besides having a typical storyline and a few camera issues, Gurumin is a solid action adventure game on par with the big leagues.

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.

If sinking Battleships, Bombers, and Oil Tankers sound like fun, give Battlestations: Midway a once over because I’m sure nothing like it will come around for a while.

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

Beware; even though Hotel Dusk has an intriguing story, great atmosphere and an interesting look, you have to like to read. Word heavy, Hotel Dusk won't appeal to gamers who need action and constant stimulation.

Smooth Moves is bizarre collection of micro-games couldn’t be more delightful, and you would be hard pressed not to crack a smile or laugh during the spastic high jinks.

Lost Planet isn't a bad game, but it's seems a few areas like the voice acting, game flow, and enemy A.I. really put a damper on the its overall potential.

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

Slightly refined. The replay value is high with the ability to earn points and the online community is buzzing.

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.

Rainbow Six Vegas might not be the crown jewel of the series, but it's still one of the year's best shooters.

Red Steel is one of the most interesting and ambitious launch titles for the Wii, and even though it doesn't provide a flawless experience, it's still fun.

The racing is fast, fun and innovative with the Nintendo motion sensitive controller. The ride might not last long, but while you're behind the wheel you'll have a smile on your face.

In Wii Sports, innovation and gameplay triumph over substance, graphics, and depth, a feat which only Nintendo could accomplish.

As basic as you can get for a shooter. What makes Platypus stand out is the graphics that have been wrapped in an layer of clay, this brings out a unique charm and the quality that pushed me up from a [50 to a 60].

Luxor provides the only Zuma like experience on the handhelds right now, so if you want some ball blasting puzzle game fun, this is your answer.

Although, Cars has been released for all the other consoles it might be the most fun on the Wii given the motion sensitive controls.

Served with a side dish of humor, Rayman Raving Rabbids makes use of the Nintendo Wii's motion sensor and gives the next best answer to a Wario game.

Sure, there is room for improvement, most noticeable in giving the gamer more direct input on the season, and keeping the roster up to date, but the bottom line is that Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 will keep us wrestling fans happy until next year.

If you have ever been a fan of the traditional Mario styled gameplay then you will instantly love Yoshi's Island.

Never becoming too complex, Avatar blends the right amount of kung-fu air-bending action along with story telling and adventuring.

Just like the first Dead or Alive Volleyball game I found that Tecmo did an excellent job capturing the spirit of vacationing this time with more to do on the island.

A breathtaking graphical masterpiece.

Triple E will mostly like appeal to gamers who like their games a little on the frantic side. I enjoyed Every Extend Extra in short bursts, but in the long run this wouldn't make it into the PSP rotation.

In Call of Duty 3 we have more of the cinematic heart pounding action that fans have come to love from the series. Call of Duty 3 keeps a good pace and delivers exactly what I expected.

Tony Hawk is back to what maters, skating without all the extra annoyances Hawk games have started to become.

The original Lumines did everything right and Lumines II follows suit with an upgrade to the visuals with music videos interlaced with the game. Lumines II might not have the same impact as before, but Q Entertainment is still on the pulse.

A one of a kind game that is original and fun.

Besides the minor fault in the targeting system, Killzone: Liberation is a finely tuned, polished game that is worth the investment.

Like all the Grand Theft Auto experiences, Vice City Stories offers fun gameplay, an excellent story with hours of enjoyment wrapped up on a little UMD.

The best of the series and a top-shelf racing game for the PSP. Climax has packed this disc full of events, vehicles, and options that will keep you on the dirt for a while. Even though ATV Offroad Fury Pro can be a little repetitive, it's still fun.

Phantasy Star Universe is still holding on to its roots and needs to be dug out and replanted. Online, or offline the Phantasy Star experience will end up feeling a little generic for today's standards of gaming.

Boasting the largest cast of Marvel Characters ever assembled into a single game, Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a comic book fans dream game.

If you enjoy games like "SSX Tricky" or if you're a certified skate freak then Tony Hawk Downhill Jam will please your adrenaline rush.

Boasting the largest cast of Marvel Characters ever assembled into a single game, Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a comic book fans dream game.

Playing as a Double Agent is the perfect plot line for a Splinter Cell game; finally we feel a little closer to this world of international espionage.

Justice League Heroes breaks the mold when it dealing with DC's past history of below average DC games. There are a few problems in the A.I., and repetitive gameplay, but in the end there is a lot of fun to be had.

Destroy All Humans! 2 really isn't a huge improvement over the original, more like a mild upgrade.

A little old, a little remixed, but still intensely fun, Gun Showdown is one of the best action shooters available for the PSP and I highly recommend a high noon showdown.

Never becoming too complex, Avatar blends the right amount of kung-fu air-bending action along with story telling and adventuring.

It's over the top, pumped full of action, and Tony isn't shy about dropping a few F*** bombs.

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

Intrinsically simple yet consistently challenging, with slick presentation, attractive aesthetics and level designs that always raise an appreciative smile in tandem with any sense of puzzled frustration, Mercury Meltdown is the perfect game to dip in and out of whenever on-the-go.

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.

There is no other shooter that could be more exciting to have on Xbox Live Arcade then Doom.

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.

The gameplay all revolves around the touch screen, and the puzzles and boss battles are interesting and well designed.

The addition of the Carnival and Conquest mode is a nice side track from the trappings of the season mode, which is wrapped up in a nice level of polish from the graphic and audio side.

Until they can get the A.I. to act a little more realistic like the pros that are in the game it will never have that real feel in single player mode. But if you need your fix before your buddies come over, this is your game!

If you're not into the movie or cute fuzzy forest animals then Open Season doesn't offer up much to the causal gamer, especially with the voice mimic talent they found for the production.

A fun take on basketball which proudly makes use of the Nintendo DS's best feature, the touch screen.

An improvement over last years NASCAR game online by a small margin.

The ability to cruise or race, online or offline in a free roam fashion is refreshing and Eden has picked the perfect local in Oahu, Hawaii.

All you need to do is spend a few minutes with these little creatures and you'll likely be hooked. LocoRoco is simple, inspiring, original and fun.

I see the Live portion of Enchanted Arms as a pure bonus which is a start, and a glimpse into the future of more turned based online features.
