I don’t see it being on the top of anybody’s list as the best for any one reason, since most of the “cool” features are things that you can find in many of the recent titles, but it is an enjoyable game.

Essentially a direct port of a 3-year-old 2D fighting game on a really old (NeoGeo) system. There's not a lot of value here unless you want are a dedicated old school fighting or SNK fan looking for a showdown.

I love adventure games and I enjoy survival games, especially survival horror, but the only thing horrific about Lost in Blue 2 is how much time it takes the game to even start to become fun, and then how quickly it can all end.

The potential is here – the game just needs to cook for a few more hours before it’s ready for consumption.

This was probably one of the more interesting games in this genre that I’ve ever bothered to play, but after playing it for a few hours, I don’t think I’ll be spending a whole lot more time with it.

It’s obvious that the graphics-heavy Clancy games are tailored toward the beefier Xbox console, and the PS2 versions ported strictly for sales dollars. On the Xbox, Ghost Recon 2 rocks – on the PS2 however, it just doesn’t measure up.

Maelstrom will practically feel like a nostalgic trip down memory lane with all of the bugs you knew and loathed.

Scarface for the PSP surprised me a lot once I got past the boring tutorial. It’s an unexpectedly enjoyable, highly replay-able strategy game with terrible sound and marginal at best graphics.

Black Hawk Down’s main problem is that it purports to offer the experience of being the leader of Delta Force operatives in war torn Somalia. But hamstrung game play with shoddy graphics doesn’t cut it.

But this latest version of the game suffers from the same problems pretty much since the beginning. What was once tolerable due to technology constraints simply doesn't cut it in the era of "Snake Eater" and "Chaos Theory."

Was the game perfect, no, but it did do a reasonable good job of transferring the material to a different medium.

With mediocre sound, graphics and variety, Constantine could make the Devil himself happy to know the torment it will bring to us.

Frankly, the light gun and cooperative play turn an otherwise mediocre game into a pretty darn good one.

GoldenEye: Rogue Agent nails the 3D engine and proves that FPS gaming does have a place on handheld systems. There are still a few kinks in the FPS control scheme that need to be ironed out, hopefully before Metroid arrives, but if you put in the effort you will find it actually does work surprisingly well.

Although Vigilante 8 Arcade for XBLA maintains the spirit of chaos and destruction of it's 1998 namesake, it lacks the polish one would expect from a game released for a 7th generation platform. However, if you and your friends have an insatiable urge to blow each other up in glorious vehicular combat but you don't want to throw down $60 each for GTA IV, this is certainly a viable alternative that could easily fill a few hours.

If you are looking for the next best platform game then you will likely want to skip this one or possibly rent it if your curiosity gets the best of you. Diehard fans of the show will turn a blind eye to these issues and simply enjoy the game for what it is - an interactive episode.

Rise of the Imperfects is a fun experience and a beauty of a game, but is probably best as a rental. Only those without the skill or desire to master complex fighting moves will enjoy this game long enough to warrant a purchase.

Without a good story, interesting characters, a good design or enveloping world, Romancing Saga fails as an RPG.

Like a bad movie you have to see through to the end, Jack the Ripper will keep you in your seat right up to the disappointing conclusion.

The mix of action and stealth is just right and the puzzles are intuitive and even a bit challenging at times.

Unless you just have to have every gamer score point available or need to dominate all the Xbox Live leaderboards, I’d probably pass on Defender.

A totally uninspired game with shoddy graphics, weak sound, clumsy controls, and only enough content to make this worth a weekend rental or perhaps a budget purchase when the title makes it to the Platinum Hits.

The cutscenes are shockingly brutal, the language is shockingly harsh, and the gameplay is shockingly bad.

Rabbids: Alive & Kicking is definitely a unique approach to playing around with those mischievous critters. Much of the insanity and charm is back along with some new physical gameplay that might prove a bit too much for those, like myself, who come unprepared.

It's definitely worth a shot if your Naruto fan, and even if your not it's a satisfactory brawler.

There are some glaring mistakes in Dirge of Cerberus that even your most hardcore of fans cannot overlook.

If your nostalgia for the early 90s extends to muddled graphics, tinny sound effects, and tepid gameplay, you'll be thrilled with this game. Otherwise, you'd be better off playing an original action game.

ProStreet has a simple and no frills line to racing but does offer enough of a variety and change from one race to the next to keep you on your toes and feet to the pedals.
