    Pokemon Battle Revolution
    Playing online is, without question, Revolution's biggest feature, and one of the most disappointing. Challenge other trainers to a battle by logging on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, using a pre-set friend list or jump into a random battle with players all over the world. The idea sounds right, but shoddy connectivity and the lack of leaderboards, medals or any type of tournament set-up doesn't do any favors for the online play.

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
    It suffers from a couple glitches, but this is without question EA's greatest Harry Potter, as well as one of its best movie-based games.

    Brothers In Arms DS
    It'd be great to see a sequel with better multiplayer options and a few more single-player goodies. These war stories deserve a read – and definitely an expansion.

    DiRT
    The stylish menus and helpful narration give way to eye melting graphics featuring realistic tracks and cars with sick damage modeling.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
    Its graphics don't look nearly as good as they did two years ago, but that shouldn't stop players from plunking down the $29.99 to experience the series' best game.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hot Brain
    Hot Brain manages to stand out in an overcrowded genre due to its charm.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    PQ2: Practical Intelligence Quotient
    The presentation may not come alive, but the genius gameplay more than makes up for it.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
    Suffers from monotonous gameplay and a terrible presentation. Everything, from poor narration to Jessica Alba's awful looking character model will disappoint fans and gamers alike.
    • 73 Metascore

    Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2
    The presentation, plentiful modes and mostly pleasant fighting engine should keep fans of the comic and anime show happily content throughout the summer. Those in search of something more involving, however, will find an Ultimate rush elsewhere.

    Scarface: The World Is Yours
    An outstanding game for Xbox and PS2 last year, but the Wii version shines even brighter. The controls work great, with players able to shoot specific body parts or wave a chainsaw around by maneuvering the Wii remote.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tenchu Z
    With a little more work, Tenchu Z could've been a big hit, right up there with Team Ninja's more vigorous Ninja Gaiden games. The stealth kill system, customization options and co-op sessions give the game more weight than expected. Nevertheless, the game doesn't deliver a quality ninja experience.

    Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree
    It needed more minigames and a livelier presentation, but gamers will enjoy the multiplayer options and gameplay innovations.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Call of Juarez
    Call of Juarez resembles an archaeological dig -- in order to locate treasure, players must dig through lots of crap.
    • 83 Metascore

    Pac-Man Championship Edition
    The stylish graphics look fabulous and gamers will enjoy posting scores to the online leader boards.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tomb Raider: Anniversary
    Tomb Raider Anniversary offers some nice, solid gameplay for both newcomers to the series and experienced players. Grand, complex, puzzles brings great challenges and adventure.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Planet Puzzle League
    The gameplay works great, although gamers will be more comfortable with the traditional control scheme rather than using the stylus. Everyone needs to join this League.

    Halo 2
    Although the game received a significant facelift with high-resolution textures to provide a sharper look, the graphical progression of more recent shooters leaves this improved Halo 2 feeling like a 2004 game.

    Surf's Up
    The game appeals to kids, thanks to its colorful characters, but adults will find it too easy. The tricks lack complexity and the game can be beaten in a couple of sittings.

    Forza Motorsport 2
    Developer Turn 10 focused on making the cars handling as realistic as possible, an admirable effort, but the result makes the game a little boring.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Shadowrun
    It comes up dreadfully short in content, with no single-player campaign and only a handful of maps.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Shadowrun
    This bland online shooter (no single player element exists) offers only a handful of maps and no map editor. While the game's is based upon an entrenched role-playing game, not a single role-playing element exists.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mario Party 8
    Despite these complaints, Mario Party 8's motion controls, fresh new options and accessible bonus content make it a party that shouldn't be missed -- not even by those who thought that the series' best days were already long gone.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Crush
    The game's presentation couldn't be better and the story provides some extra weight along with doses of humor.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
    Even though it lacks an abundance of new content, its Wii-sensitive control set-up and additional content do enough to keep the blood pumping -- fighting fans will find bloody satisfaction with Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    WarTech: Senko no Ronde
    The graphics and sound don't do much presentation-wise, but the game play rewards gamers nonetheless. Sadly, the lack of four-player shoot-outs positions WarTech primarily as a rental -- until it reaches the more reasonable $20-$40 range.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Diner Dash: Sizzle & Serve
    With the touch screen issue notwithstanding, Diner Dash: Sizzle & Serve should keep DS owners happy, providing they don't loathe waiting tables. After all, video games should help people escape reality instead of sending them to work the tables for tips.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Naruto: Ninja Council 3
    Longer levels, more involving gameplay, Game Sharing and more attention to the general presentation would have really sky-rocketed its appeal.

    Odin Sphere
    Atlus plucked another gem from Japan and brought it to the U.S.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Disney Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
    At World's End is better than most movie-based games, but that only makes its shortcomings more disappointing.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Disney Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
    Playing through the best parts of At World's End and its prequel provide minimal enjoyment, but the sloppy controls make the game nastier than one of Davy Jones' henchmen.
