To be blunt, the actual gameplay of Haze is mediocre mixed with a side order of boring and I have to say this is really disappointing because we know the developers, Free Radical of Time Splitters fame have done much better games with far superior gameplay.- GameFocus

Sadly, it seems that Sony hasn’t learned their lesson with Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune is plagued by many of the same problems and I get the feeling the game was rushed. The game could have had great potential if it wasn’t so hard to invite friends into a game and the Multiplayer actually worked. At a price tag of 15 dollars, it’s quite steep for a game that feels like it was thrown together at the last minute.- GameFocus

The karaoke combined with the mini-games is the aspect that truly carries this game above the mediocrity bar. With no singing options, I highly doubt its appeal would have been the same.- GameFocus

Smash Court Tennis 3 might not be gorgeous or pretty, but it does deliver something Top Spin doesn’t: the fun! Once again, my experience was very pleasant with this third chapter of the Smash Court Tennis franchise and I can’t go without saying that this game is good. Not great but good.- GameFocus

This title could have been one of those highly recommendable adventures, but since it lacks notable features, paying the $40 entry fee might be a little too much. Your best bet may be to wait until gets a nice red sticker on the front before adding it to the game collection.- GameFocus

Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll doesn't stand out much from the crowd with good reason, as it doesn't do much that we haven't seen before. That said, it features solid gameplay and a pretty long campaign, although more could have been done to enhance the experience.- GameFocus

A weekend rental at best due to the game being wildly unbalanced and not a fun game but just a mediocre title. If it is patched and it’s balancing and multiplayer issues are addressed it might be worth a second look. Hopefully EA will return to the fold and give us another great game like Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, an awesome Role Playing Game that I would love to see a similar game released this generation.- GameFocus

If it’s the exotic locations and fun at high-speeds that you are looking in your PSP racer and shedding an additional $10 isn’t an issue, we suggest you go for Motorstorm: Artic Edge. There are worst racers for the PSP out there but in a year where Gran Turismo, NFS Shift and Motorstorm: Artic Edge stand out in their own way, DiRT 2 collects the dust. No matter how you shake it, DiRT 2 makes little baby Jesus cry.- GameFocus

We have to applaud 2K’s initiative to offer a solid boxing alterrnative on the Wii. While Don King’s Prizefighter on the Xbox 360 was not the game many boxing fans expected it to be, the Wii version is certainly more fun than that boxing game found in Wii Sports and certainly more efficient than Ready 2 Rumble Revolution and Facebreaker.- GameFocus

If you are looking for something a little more cranially intensive, and can overlook the awkward tool placement issues, then I Heart Geeks will make a decent addition to your DS library.- GameFocus

Backbreaker brings the fun first and opens up a door for the future. For a freshman effort, the final result isn’t perfect but it’s far from being boring. And please, don’t get this game with the intention of skipping Madden. This isn’t a Madden killer…at least, not yet.- GameFocus

Fret Nice is a quirky game with a lot of style. Unfortunately, quirky is not enough.- GameFocus

At $20 dollars/1600 MS points, the cost is too high for a roughly 3 hour experience, slightly longer than the film. The story is good and the action is fun, but the repetitive gameplay and lack of replayability make this a really hard game to recommend.- GameFocus

Rise of the Argonauts will give you some hours of fun and will even teach a thing or two about Greek mythology but that weird feeling of unfinished business and awkwardness will keep popping up during your quest. If you can bypass these annoyances, you will find some way to appreciate the work and the effort put on this game by the developer to please those “I want innovation but not that innovative” whiny gamers. Why this reminds me of Too Human all of a sudden?- GameFocus

In spite of its faults, there’s a lot to like about Sonic and the Black Knight, provided you’re not holding a candle for games long since past. Sonic’s trademark speed is still there, and while the level designs are simpler than they were in the past, there’s still enough fun packed in here to be worth at least a weekend of your time.- GameFocus

Crime Scene DS does a great job immersing you in the world of forensics. Though the replay value is dubious, it doesn't really matter. The game is long enough and fun enough it could be worth it, even if you only play it once.- GameFocus

Medal of Honor: Warfighter's strong visual design and online gameplay are its most impressive features. That being said, gamers have little to immerse themselves with in the single-player campaign.- GameFocus

It’s far from perfect, but the simplicity of bowling is mixed up with fresh ideas, crazily constructed courses and a quick clip at which to play.- GameFocus

While everyone who owns a Windows PC has a version of Minesweeper to play, this version is actually better with the two new gameplay modes, improved graphics and some very fun multiplayer make this a worthwhile game to own.- GameFocus

For the majority of people, this game is just not that pleasurable and can be quite tedious or difficult. I will give the developers some credit for attempting to add a story to a collection of mini-games, but unfortunately, this continues the trend of Wii games that is rushed out the door and not given the attention it could have used.- GameFocus

Rise of Nightmares had me in a sweat for most of the game, either from constantly being in movement when hacking and slashing through zombies, or from the sheer terror that I felt moving from one area to the next, never knowing what was coming up.- GameFocus

While there’s a new Fight Night down the pipes, EA is shining the spotlight on Facebreaker, their latest title in a new line of ‘EA Freestyle’ sports games. It’s a solid brawler that’s easy to get in to, but ultimately it’s only as well-known as it is because of its budget – not its quality.- GameFocus

While the game is fun, the lack of multiplayer opponents quickly diminishes the experience. Anyone who has a group of friends willing to pay 800 Microsoft Points to play the game, will definitely enjoy the experience.- GameFocus

There was a tremendous amount of potential for PlayStation Move Heroes. Really, this could have been the first great Move title. But that potential seemed to have been beat down right from the start, beginning with the design choices.- GameFocus

Fans of the series will be happy to play one of the best Splinter Cell games ever created on their 3DS, but the console-to-handheld trade-off will make some players question a possible $40 purchase.- GameFocus

If classic RPG gameplay appeals to you, Ragnarok DS has you covered. Though there is some repetition and frustrating boss battles, the mix of a retro feel and the smart, snappy writing make Ragnarok DS something special.- GameFocus

The concept behind Deep Silver’s Professor Heinz Wolff’s Gravity is good on paper but it was poorly executed in every possible way. There are some salvageable parts the game, just not enough to warrant any sort of purchase. If you’re still tempted to try this one out, I can only recommend renting the Wii version as the controls make it the only one worth playing.- GameFocus
