    Difficult controls and gameplay that somehow manages to be hectic and boring at the same time are packaged in an uninspiring shell of so-so graphics and sounds (which were so unremarkable that the developers had the good sense to include an option to mute them entirely).

    Birth of America is a good historic turn based strategy game that is not only fun to play but very educational.

    Not flawless, since it’s missing multiplayer online and off, but it still has the leaderboard to keep you playing – and lets face it, back in the arcade, that was you’re only real goal, to achieve the highscore for that day – to remove some previous player’s 3 initial name.

    If there was a way to make the Tekken series better I certainly don't know what it is. It’s like somebody took all the previous Tekken games and put them in a blender then filtered out the bad stuff and out pops Tekken: Dark Resurrection.

    Warlords adds even more to a game that started out great and only continues to be an excellent turn based strategy game.

    It’s easy to use and understand menus and information pages make for fun gameplay and quick results when you know what to change to improve your citizen’s lives.

    Just another movie tie-in that might keep the children happy for a night, but the more seasoned gamers may want to look elsewhere.

    An excellent mix of intense first person shooting combined with a sophisticated risk-reward system that actually integrates into the gameplay. The Tarot cards are pure genius and add a whole new level to the genre.

    The game definitely has its moments, but you'll have to play a lot longer than you probably want to if you want to experience half of them.

    Cloning Clyde represents everything that is exciting and innovative about XBLA. It’s a slick game with pleasing visuals and sound, enjoyable and challenging gameplay, and all around great presentation.

    The game is short and easy, combined with troublesome controls and bland visuals that don’t do justice to the wonderful material the game is based on.

    EA has more than a year to polish this game and it came out pretty bad, or at least below expectations. For every nice touch, there was something far worse to overshadow it, for every new feature, we lost three, and I have never seen such a waste of the ESPN license.

    Even with the crippling "running bug" I had a much more enjoyable time playing NCAA Football 07 on the PSP. Of course my style of play favors the passing play so ground yards aren’t a big deal with me. If you like to run the ball you might want to wait for the patch or just play on another system.

    If you have played RPG's in the past then you will know exactly what to expect out of this game. The game will not captivate you like some RPG's.

    Had it had an online feature or the split-screen action of Budokai 3, the verdict would have been different.

    It's hopelessly unplayable, a huge mess that was thrown together by blindfolded programmers and one of the worst games I've ever played. It didn't have to be that way. There is really no excuse for this game.

    Frogger is quick and fun, pick up and play arcade action at it’s best. Got 5 minutes to kill, this game can help you with that.

    Chromehounds is probably one of the more inventive games of its time. It’s the first persistent online game on the 360 and it’s FREE to play (Live fees not withstanding). It has good graphics, challenging gameplay, and enough parts and upgrades to keep even the most diehard armchair mechanic glued to their TV for weeks and months to come.

    Prey actually delivers both a compelling solo and an outstanding multiplayer FPS experience that will delight FPS fans looking for a truly unique approach to what was becoming a rather stale and predictable genre.

    Even with its limitations, Nancy Drew: Danger by Design is a decently entertaining, albeit short, mystery adventure game with a diverse assortment of easy to moderately challenging puzzles.

    Making a game that is fun to play is what should come first, and The Ship is a game that takes that to heart and doesn't get too ambitious with it.

    TerraWars is the worst game I’ve played in several years.

    A challenging racing game that helps fill a void in the niche-genre of dirt bike racing.

    The planes look pretty and they fly with precise controls and accurate physics, but that’s about all you can say nice about Over G.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest has all the components of a great game and a movie tie-in, but with such a heavy focus on combat, the designers really needed to polish the combat engine and balance things out for the overwhelming odds they throw at you.

    I’m not embarrassed to say that I really liked Micro Machines V4. After playing all of the more serious games that come my way, this was a pleasantly mindless, yet challenging diversion that showed some real ingenuity, especially in the visionary track designs and great use of scale.

    I’m not embarrassed to say that I really liked Micro Machines V4, but I liked it more on the PS2.

    I really enjoyed the innovative rules and challenges in the Medal mode, and the World Tour offered just as much excitement (for me) as any official World Cup game.

    A very simple and enjoyable fighting game, that would be every bit as cool with or without the television show license tie-in. We need more games like this.
