    The Immortals of Terra: A Perry Rhodan Adventure
    At the end of my adventure, I found The Immortals of Terra to be a highly enjoyably title. While I may not have had a real connection to the main character, I came off with a better understanding of why the Perryverse has lasted this long.

    Eragon
    Much like the home consoles’ classics like Zelda and Fable, Eragon does an excellent job of combining solid RPG elements with user-friendly gameplay.

    Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings
    It seemed more like a collection of exercises or training scenarios rather than a flowing adventure.

    Super Monkey Ball: Touch & Roll
    If you love quirky, concept games like "Katamari Damacy," you will love this game.

    Battlestar Galactica
    Taking the story into the past was a nice direction on the part of the writers, and the story and missions are inventive and flow nicely, but the poor performance of Adama tarnishes the overall presentation.

    The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
    If you're a diehard fan of Lord of the Rings and just have to have everything then War in the North will tide you over nicely till The Hobbit finally hits theatres. For anyone else, it's a competent rendition of an action RPG and worth the look if you're done with Skyrim, but I wouldn't go out of my way to play this.

    Mojo!
    The simple color-matching gameplay principles will test the younger kids and the complicated puzzles and tricky control will challenge their parents. Even if you never explore beyond the initial 100 levels you are guaranteed to get your money’s worth.

    A Quiet Weekend in Capri
    This game clearly lacks big budget production values, but the fact is, it simply doesn't need them.

    Will Rock
    I haven’t had this much FUN playing a game in a long time. The twitch nature of the gameplay is great for short spurts of addictive action between those other more serious titles. Check your brain at the door and let the Force flow through you.

    Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
    The secrets, however, are well worth collecting. You can unlock stills from the movie set to music, production photos, and even "story time with Count Olaf".

    NBA 07
    And while Sony does take an interesting new approach to the basketball genre, I simply cannot recommend NBA 07 at full retail price.

    The Con
    But the betting system wasn’t integrated tightly enough so it is just as easily forgotten, and when you factor in the clunky fight engine and predictable combo system, the game loses much of its appeal.

    Rogue Ops
    Offers one of the best stealth gameplay elements seen in an action title to date. I really got into that little combo move, cackling with glee when I snapped a neck or cursing when I flubbed the move and got taken down.

    Van Helsing
    If you are looking for a mindless adrenaline rush, a test of reflexes, or simply a fun afternoon of monster bashing then look no further than Van Helsing. He is more than up for the task, but his adventure is best served as a weekend rental rather than a purchase.

    The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch
    I’m not sure if it’s translation issues or what, but this franchise needs a much more compelling story if they want me to invest a huge portion of my already-limited portable gaming time on a game of this magnitude.

    Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond
    Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond is 1200 points ($15) on XBLA, which is admittedly a bit salty for what is ultimately a rather repetitive shooter.

    Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
    The best part about Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is the total freedom you are allowed in not only choosing what to do and when to do it, but also how to do it and what you wear while you're doing it. And when you mix this freedom of gameplay with a massive sprawling city that reaches to the clouds, and an endless supply of intelligent evildoers, there is no end in sight to the superhero action waiting for you in this latest Spider-Man adventure.

    Blacklight: Tango Down
    While Blacklight might not have the longevity of a Call of Duty game, or the depth of tactical options, it stands head and shoulders above the vast majority of downloadable games.

    Spider-Man 3
    It almost becomes a rhythm game as you perfect the block-counterattack system, especially for the boss fights. And when you aren’t fighting some crazy mutant or saving the city from serial bombers, a casual swing through Manhattan at night is almost therapeutic.

    SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation
    I think this is definitely a game only hardcore SOCOM fans will appreciate or even tolerate.

    Clive Barker's Jericho
    Clive Barker’s Jericho will likely appeal to a certain group of gamers just from the implied pedigree, but the truth is that the uninspired gameplay, linear levels, horrid AI, and merely average presentation values keep this game from ever gripping you like any of Clive’s movies.

    Gothic 3
    Gothic 3 takes some role-playing aspects to a new high with its excellent quest system and fully interactive world. Too bad other critical elements, from combat to graphics performance, fall so short.

    Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo
    Just doesn’t bring anything new to the platform table.

    • 77 Critic Score
    Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu
    This is definitely an experience that is best shared, but even if you are forced to play alone, you won’t find a more challenging or visually stunning Batman experience than Rise of Sin Tzu.

    Blood Stone: 007
    It's full of satisfying melee combat, signature Bond moments, great cover combat, pretty visuals and awesome driving sequences. It does feature that classic Bond mood to a point and is definitely worth a play through for single player experience.

    CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Hard Evidence
    Hard Evidence is full of the show’s quirky one-liners and retains the shows visual style for a very entertaining environment.

    Aura: Fate of the Ages
    A stunning journey, more so in its visual splendor and complex gameplay than its weak narrative, but a journey that every self-proclaimed adventure gamer should experience.

    DreamWorks Monsters vs. Aliens
    Activision and DreamWorks have another solid movie-licensed game ready for fans of the upcoming film.

    ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails
    There were times when this game aggravated me so much I wanted to throw down the controller, before I realized I was holding a $250 controller.

    Scarygirl
    Scarygirl has a great visual design that blends the creepiness of Coraline with the charm of Tim Schafer's Pyschonauts and quite often achieves that living storybook charm. I loved the use of the narrator for the opening movie and to preface each chapter, and the music and sound effects fit the game flawlessly. Sadly, the game flops in the gameplay department with buggy combat and glitchy platform jumping sections where one misstep will send you back to a poorly placed checkpoint to do it all over and over again. Repetition to the point of frustration is not fun and not good gameplay. It might have been back in the early 90's, and if you are comfortable with that old-school nostalgia then Scarygirl might be for you.
