Incredibly fun to play, even though its trick system is somewhat shallow.

If only the game had downloadable tunes, it'd be perfect. As is, it's still a must-have, whether you sing like Frank Sinatra or Frank the Garbageman.

Its presentation doesn't stand out, its gameplay doesn't deliver like it should, and its fun is limited. The legend deserves a little bit better than this, and, hopefully, next year, he'll get it.

Living up to its unbelievable hype, Bungie's masterpiece features an engaging story, a satisfying single-player campaign, some of the most impressive graphics ever seen in a console title, and new gameplay features like dual-wielding, vehicle boarding, new weapons, and advanced AI.

To put it simply: if you are a fan of the MMO genre, you absolutely must try this game. It sucks you in from the first click and doesn't let go. Graphics, sound, and gameplay are all here and representing the best there is to offer in the MMO pride.

It's by no means a fantastic game, but it satisfied my urge to blow stuff up, and even though it didn't necessarily last long, I was entertained for most of the time.

Mario Power Tennis is all about a great game of tennis, with responsive controls, colorful graphics, and a nice, lighthearted style. Fans of the sport shouldn't be surprised if they find one of the best tennis games out there.

The incredible graphics and storyline combined with destructible objects create a powerful cinematic feel that completely draws the player in.

Vendetta Online is not really worth the time or the money. It's boring a lot of the time, and most players will probably lose interest long before anything exciting happens.

The game more than stands on its own because of its unique visual style and cool light cycle races, but it's plagued by a sloppy interface that makes switching weapons a chore, too many platform jumping elements, and so much loading I wasn't sure if the game was running correctly or if it locked up.

Quirky fun. It has within it the same excellent gameplay that the series is known for, along with online play via Xbox Live that's sure to find its niche on the network. On the other hand, the game is practically drowned in utter cuteness.

The animation is superb, showing detail in the smallest of characters, and the environmental damage modeling is superb! The level design is outstanding.

It's a great way to work out, and it'll definitely be a hit at parties, but it's also a short-lived experience that doesn't feel like a full-fledged game.

It has plenty of style, but the aged PS2 hardware sometimes can't keep up with the game's intensity. Online play is highly addictive, but the weapons lack proper balance to make it more competitive.

Those of you who aren't looking for slow-paced gameplay, limited character movement and sometimes annoying puzzles should look for their gaming satisfaction via another route.

It's not the most original game in the world, and some of the game's unbalanced difficulty will leave you kicking up more than dirt, but in general, it's still a focused, entertaining ride, offline and on.

The lack of sea units and carriers of any type make the title needlessly tedious.

A charming music game that's fun to play, has loads of features and songs, and sells at a budget price.

The four-player action is hard to top, the Boost mode plays like an old school brawler, and the character customization options are some of the best seen in 2D fighters. However, the game doesn't feature online play, something "Guilty Gear X2 #Reload" features on the Xbox for a mere $20.

This is a game that has only one audience: players already in the world of Brittania. Anyone who has never played Ultima Online has absolutely no chance of grasping the momentous task of syncing with the various systems of the world.

A very below-average affair that never really rises to the wonders of its license, riding on its mean-spirited and pointless mini games. Skip this if you want to have a Merry Christmas.

Removing the backstage areas seriously lessons the game's fun factor, and whoever selected the legends needs to be demoted. Still, the game's a blast to play.

The lack of a couple of significant entries in the series, namely Sonic CD, hurts, and the inclusion of such lame, obscure titles like Sonic Spinball and The Ooze doesn't help.

But the game lacks any sort of genuine thrills, and instead takes the easy way out, sticking with average design and a challenge level that's junior-high level at best.

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.

It lacks sorely in presentation, and doesn't offer any kind of multiplayer effort to keep you or your friends involved for too long.

It's got some good ideas, and some of the level designs are outstanding, but the game's controls never really come together like they should, and some frustrating factors come into play, making The Incredibles a lackluster superhero adventure.

It shows in the incredibly intriguing and well-executed storyline. However, as shiny as the story may be, it can't hide the unpolished feel of other aspects.
