Unlike any other puzzle game on the market, and it's that level of ingenuity and creativity that makes it a must-own, even though its longevity leaves something to be desired.

It fits its ideal child audience and will amuse those young enough to appreciate the cartoons. But Unite isn't really the best thing you can own on the DS right now, especially when you have "Mario Kart DS" and "Mario and Luigi: Partners In Time" available for the same system.

This is a fine gathering of the better X games, although X5 and X6 do tend to drag a little. Furthermore, the package isn't as loaded as "Mega Man Anniversary Collection" was.

This is a game that's been created for the weirdos of the world interested in a game like no other.

DOA4 is so close to being flawless it's unbelievable.

A must-have for shooter enthusiasts, as its presentation is killer and its challenge heavy enough to drop you to your knees.

Fans will absolutely love it, while newcomers will wonder what all the fuss is about.

The action is fun enough to endure for a few hours, alone or with friends, and the presentation is actually pretty good. But there's some moments of cheese that reek the overall product when they didn't need to, especially when the storyline is concerned.

There is strategy and action to be found, but it takes a great deal of searching, and more patience than a Buddhist monk.

Its inventive gameplay will keep you busy with different uses of formation, and its presentation is mostly on the mark. On top of this, the boss battles are quite memorable and the extras will keep you coming back for more.

What Animal Crossing: Wild World does is an amazing job of pulling you into the experience. A majority of the game is crafted with so much authentic human precision, detail and personality that the end result is something that makes you feel inadequate if you don't return the same effort when actually playing.

It's not that the story mode isn't deep or won't provide you with a good time if you've never experienced anything like it, but for those of us who have, it's about as dry as an overcooked piece of chicken.

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

Two Thrones is a heaping adventure that will keep you stirred throughout, even during the rougher Dark Prince segments. My problem is, it just ends a bit too quickly. What a finish, though.

The only real problem with Bankshot Billiards 2 is its requirement for multiple players to each have their own controller. With a turn-based game like billiards, I was hoping I'd be able to play with two of my friends by just passing the controller back and forth. Instead, I'm forced to wait for those three player sessions until I can afford another controller.

With both simple controls and simple gameplay, Geometry Wars is unsurprisingly easy to pick up and play. Because of this, it's also incredibly addictive, the simplicity of the whole ordeal fueling a mindset of "just one more game, I can do better this time."

Not only does it feature addictively simple pick up and play gameplay, but the stage-oriented design allows players to either go through a few stages or a few playthroughs at time.

The absolute worst example of the "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" cloning process, sticking together with its below-average graphics, its poorly-selected soundtrack, and its miserable excuse for a gameplay set-up.

The biggest knock against this game is it'll cost you $59.99 and it only offers up seven to nine hours of play.

A thunderous b-ball effort that's almost every bit as good as its NBA brethren. The modes will have you tunneling for hours of enjoyment, and the gameplay is smooth like butta.

Globs of action, lots violence, and a story that's good enough to keep things moving. But it's obvious that it needed a little more time to cook, what with the annoying load times, a whacky auto save function, and a frame rate that isn't nearly as fast as the PC version of the game.

This was a guilty pleasure just waiting to happen, but the developers just couldn't get the camera right, and the result is a product that is damn near unplayable. I spent more time running around in circles and shooting the ground than I did actually hitting anyone!

A very solid racing game for the Xbox 360 launch. However, long load times and visuals that could have been better (although not too bad) do detract a bit from the title.

For as solid as Perfect Dark Zero is, it's not going to wow you with anything innovative. But hey, when you're fragging away at fellow gamers from all around the world, you're not going to care.

The environments are fantastic and smooth, the gameplay is refined, and the aggressive AI could very well have you for lunch.

Just another platformer.

The gameplay remains addictively fun thanks to a few cool techniques and the use of metallic balls, and the design isn't half bad. However, the game could've used just a little more work to keep up with the bigger female guns out there.

There's not much to do after the single player adventure's been completed, but rest assured that this is easily one of the console's better games and a landmark achievement in game design.
