Once you get the feel of the odd controls and figure out how everything works, every one of the single player modes are a throw away.

It's an old game, but it's still fun, and as long as you're not a tournament level player, you'll enjoy the game despite the slight hiccups during online play.

Despite the fact some entries are missing, the collection here is still varied and show how much the series has evolved over the years. The number of options and bonus goodies that are available are nice, and the jam-packed action of the games themselves should enthrall fans of the series and gather up a flock of new ones along the way. This is simply a must-have retro collection that should keep you plenty busy until the PS3 Gradius that's been hinted at arrives.

Blocky characters, stiff movement, clipping issues and a generally dated look that makes this game look like it was developed in the 1800's, detracts from what could have been a very influential game.

The graphics look surprisingly crisp, and the music helps to perfectly set the mysterious tone of the game. If you are a fan of Kim Possible, or are just looking for a really cool video game, definitely check out Kim Possible 3: Team Possible!

The gameplay is engaging but isn't really challenging over time, and the music selection could've been a little more varied, not to mention plentiful. However, there is fun to be had.

Metal Slug 3 is hard. It's a bit outdated in comparison to the newest chapters. And it doesn't really look like a next-generation Xbox title. However, we can't help but recommend it because it just kicks so much ass.

The combat system is card based, but just pressing the A button enough will most likely guarantee you victory regardless of the situation.

Star Fox Command could have benefited from a few difficulty levels, but it's still a cool shooter that shouldn't be missed.

Nagging complaints aside, this is clearly the best WWE GameCube game that Yukes has ever developed, and to say that I was shocked when I first saw it would be quite an understatement. The entrances, the music, the finishing maneuvers, and the gameplay are just really tight.

Despite its sophomoric appearance and single player weakness, the game has multiplayer potential that makes it a must-have party game.

With the intuitive controls, the high number of levels, the level editor, and the ability to download even more levels, it's easily the best portable Lemmings thus far.

The game's got a solid story, pretty visuals, and good controls, and it's for the most part a very fun experience, but some targeting issues, unimpressive mini games, and maddeningly frustrating stealth elements keep Destroy All Humans from being a killer app.

The phenomenal use of sound and the "snuff" executions are exceptional, and the attention to detail in both the environments, the gangs, hell, even the instruction booklet is top notch.

While Battalion Wars is a fun game for those looking to almost mindlessly blast their way to victory, trying to use any kind of strategy is difficult and troublesome thanks to the way the game controls.

Playing Strikers against others is a total blast, but the single player is mind numbingly boring.

This isn't the defining baseball experience, mind you, just another fun game with Mario and company. Nothing wrong with that.

If you're new to this series, The Room is a great place to start, and if you're a fan, at least find comfort knowing that Konami has employed the same successful formula without taking any damaging steps that could've ruined it.

This is really more for people who might be looking for a different way to play The Sims 2 rather than simply adding to existing gameplay.

The battle system has some merit to it, as does the story, which has sagged a bit in the last couple of chapters.

A treasure trove of 2D beat-em-up goodness and fighting fans should buy it immediately.

Jak X: Combat Racing isn't really going to change your driving nature, as it lacks some of the zest of the more concentrated racing games out there. But it still delivers a mostly good time.

It's a good game overall, but it does have a tendency to become quite repetitive, and the gameplay isn't exciting enough to propel this title into the must buy category.

Killing bad guys is very boring thanks to the lackluster mechanics, which never evolve past mindless button mashing, and the cheap AI doesn't help matters. I still appreciate Yakuza for what it is, but I can't justify spending $50 for it.

The career mode is loaded with challenges, the online play is suitable (if a bit average), and the create-a-player mode is off the charts in design features.

This game could've been so much more had Kush Games been on their game, driving with the kind of innovation that they put into the goalie control feature. But it comes up giving us the short end of the hockey stick.

The amazing graphics, phenomenal special effects, voice acting, and of course, the soundtracks from the movies steal the show. Beautiful, rewarding, and brimming with personality.
