The humor is still hilarious and the charm is still riveting.

An excellent RTS game. Even though the gameplay is still relatively the same, that doesn't mean you shouldn't miss out on the story, exciting action, and ultimately the overall fun experience from the entire game.

A very playable tennis game if you don't already own "World Tour."

Shivering Isles is an excellent addition, and any Oblivion fan would be well advised to purchase it. An entirely new land to explore AND some of the most original environments in an Elder Scrolls game? Yes, please.

An epic game with a dark twist. Fans of games like Oblivion should have no problem spending a long time on this one.

The game is surprisingly fun for a non-tennis fan, but it's overly simple at times. It's worth a try for most gamers, though, as it provides at least a few hours of entertainment.

TDU is a good online racing title and fits the bill for any racing fanatic. But the lack of general player life and some graphical faults knocked the score a little bit.

Awful sound and repetitive, unchallenging combat wreck any chance this game might have had to succeed with true RPG fans. A few tweaks to this formula, though, and Sega might have something.

The gameplay itself is pretty useless left on its own, but coupled with the customization options, limitless potential awaits.

The PS3 version may look and run slightly better, and it may include Knights of the Nine from the get-go, but the status of the expansion is something you have to consider, and the fact that there's really nothing new should convince you to stick with what you have.

While the game is pretty entertaining at first, the appeal wears off very quickly and doesn't return. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you want aerial combat.

A basically fun racing game when taken in small doses. Good for a typical handheld gaming schedule.

Puzzle Quest is just plain great. If you own a PSP, you need Puzzle Quest.

Puzzle Quest is just plain great. The PSP is the better version, but if you only have a DS you should still pick it up.

If you've never tried a Godfather game, the PS3 version offers the best of the bunch.

A deep and rewarding experience for players who are genuinely captivated by the title's unique approach and also have some interest in the UEFA itself, but a mediocre and oftentimes clunky game to those who fall below the category of aficionado.

If you love video games or planes, stay away. This is the perfect present to tell your loved one or offspring that you don't love them anymore.

$30 is a lot for Tetris, especially when most of the extras you've got piled on top of the basic game are worthless. You're better off playing Tetris elsewhere, or waiting for an Arcade version.

The gameplay gets bland quickly, and the data aspect seems like it was thrown in just for the hell of it.

Underdeveloped niche title will only appeal to a special few.

The first God of War was never about deep, involving combat -- it was about solving puzzles, having an entertaining classical setting and hacking your way through hordes of enemies. God of War II continues the tradition, but improves in just about every area.

The best version of the best NCAA sports series out there. If you're a fan of college hoops who plays video games and you don't own it yet, you need to get this game.

Golf fans will enjoy it while non-golfers will still be entertained by the novelty of gameplay. It has some flaws in the control scheme, but overall, it's good.

While it's a solid turn-based WWII strategy game, the in-depth tutorial and the rest of the game can be pretty challenging and time consuming.

A booster pack that adds just enough to satiate hunger before a proper expansion is released. All BF2142 owners should own this. Cheap price, too.

It's cheap ($3.95), quirky, flashy, and relatively fun. But I wouldn't recommend it in long doses, especially with most of the replay value cut.

If you're a Sudoku fan, this is your game.

A well above average game of arcade basketball, hampered a bit by sub-par online and a lack of customization options. A solid purchase despite its flaws.

While the archeology and character-building elements are major successes, the game ultimately flounders on its extreme lack of challenge and derivative story-telling.

The move towards the slower paced boxing style of Fight Night was an interesting concept, but everything else in the game screams wrestler. The combination just doesn't work well.

If you're dying for a new GTA game, then VCS is worth picking up for a mere $20. But be aware that this is just more of the same GTA that we've played for years, with nothing much new in the way of gameplay elements.

This game tweaks the tried and true old-school 2D shooter recipe just enough to appeal to both next-gen gamers and 8-bit lovers.

A large tracklist, future downloadables and other online features make Universe a must-own for DDR fans with a 360. For newcomers to the series, Universe offers a very friendly learning environment.

This game is narrowly focused towards collectible card game fans. Even hardcore followers will see that playing the video game version falls way short of live play against real people with real cards. As for the rest of the gamers, the game won't be.

A strong racing title for hardcore F1 fans or purists of the racing genre. While the gameplay is its strong suit, the problematic graphics, lack of good sound engineering and long qualifying rounds may have some gamers losing patience with this title.

A keeper. There's plenty of action to keep a gamer interested, with a handful of extras beyond the main missions. Overlooking slight control issues, this game is perfect for a quick action fix, done with style.

By attempting to innovate the way the game is controlled, the overall quality of the title is far removed from what would be expected from an SSX diehard. EA really needs to hit the drawing board much harder for any future SSX Wii releases.

Another sub-par Warriors release, adding only one new mode but demanding 40 dollars. If you're a fan of the series, it may be worth it. Otherwise, pick up one of the older titles cheaper.

It's a worthy Bioware RPG and oozes with an awesome storyline and memorable party members, but if you played it before on the Xbox there's really no reason to replay it.

There is some real hardcore action for serious baseball fans here and they'll enjoy the tasks of micro-managing teams, sending in plays, and experiencing some real major league fun. But for all others, the game fails to draw you in.

Telltale took fans' reactions and made a longer, funnier and overall more exciting fourth episode.

There are some nice innovations, but it ultimately falls short due to poor gameplay mechanics.

While the barebones gameplay options and lack of flash may make VF5 seem like a stripped title, that couldn't be further from the truth. While we don't get beautiful cinematics, dozens of characters or a bunch of gimmicky modes to keep us busy, we do get the solidest fighter we've had in a very long time, and what may be the best single player mode in any fighter to date.

For those who have gotten tired and/or fed up of the Sonic series, SATSR offers enough improvement in the gameplay to warrant some serious consideration.

Despite the repetitive nature of the core game, being able to scale rooftops and blow everything to smithereens is more than enough to compensate for these problems.

A well above average game of arcade basketball, hampered a bit by sub-par online and a lack of customization options. A solid purchase despite its flaws.

A game with a lot of promise--it just doesn't deliver. For puzzler fans, this game isn't even worth playing at a friend's house.

A very solid and super cool RTS game, and one that any RTS fan should pick up. It doesn't do anything revolutionary, but it perfects the common issues of the genre.

This game is definitely old-school. AS: V is simple to learn, provides some good exploration, a lot of extermination of aliens, and some laughs along the way. if you're looking for a lite shooter that isn't so serious, check this out.

A Wii Remote costs $40, and can't be found. Wii Play costs $50, and comes with one. Worth buying only if you want an extra remote.

The game bridges the gap between SimCity 4 and whatever comes next. It's a decent city simulation game but suffers from a poor tutorial, some shaky gameplay mechanics and little to no replayability.

If you're new to the land of Puzzle Fighter (or Buster Bros.) it's worth checking out, and if you've played them all before back in the day it's still worth checking out. As long as you enjoy the old-school puzzle games, you'll enjoy this one.

Serious soccer fans will appreciate the editing features of this game while non-fans will enjoy the gameplay.

Great gameplay with excellent control innovations make MVP 07 a great choice for baseball fans. Lack of polish and dull presentation, along with a missing MLB license keep it inside the park.

Fans get everything they're looking for, with a fresh look and new options. Newcomers will find a slow, tedious experience with inexplicit detailing of progress and overwhelming information and menus.

Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia is not a bad game, but just falls short in the execution of some pretty unique and inventive ideas. It's still an okay game, and offers some good laughs and interesting gameplay mechanics, but it looks, sounds and plays a generation behind its platform.

A game with a lot of potential, but isn't quite where it can be. With a team constantly working on improving the experience, though, things look bright for its future.

Very fun game that is marred by technical problems. The lack of replay is what really hurts.

Another outstanding title from Level 5 games. If you like RPGs, get this game now.

Very fun game that is marred by technical problems. The lack of replay is what really hurts.

Great continuation, hilarious dialogue, pleasing music and easy puzzles make this another solid chapter.

This game fails miserably because of the unending random battles you encounter every few seconds. The simple task of walking from one place to another turns into an exercise in slow torture.

A traditionally produced RPG that hits many of the right notes for old-school RPG fans, and even new-school RPG gamers. Because of the intense focus on dialogue in this game, it won't appeal to those who want more action.

If you loved Ace Attorney, go buy Justice for All. If you were hoping for new features to get you hooked or make the game better, though, you may want to pass. It's a fun game, but it's more like an expansion.

Smooth Moves is THE game to get if you want to have fun with friends while playing the Wii. It's easily worth the price of admission.

It's the charm and pacing of this title that keeps you engaged, excited and almost constantly fighting.

Hilarious continuation, and it looks like it'll only get better from here.

A game that isn't a whole lot of fun, because the basics just aren't executed properly.

Elebits is a great idea for a game, but the weak level design and somewhat boring gameplay brings it down. But for young kids, it may prove to be a hit.

This is another very solid entry into the Castlevania series, and is one of the best games of the year. But where is the innovation?

Though somewhat short on the MGS series' traditional pantheon of inhuman boss characters to puzzle out how to beat, it's polished, fun, and delivers in all aspects.

Just what it aims to be. It is chess at the individual, social, and competitive level.

RoboBlitz is a quaint and easy puzzle game with some very nice visuals, and a very cheap price tag.

For $20, there are plenty of options for any gamer-Greatest Hits and Platinum titles, for instance-but Capcom's collections are a welcome return to gaming's roots, and Vol. II outshines its predecessors in bringing once-forgotten games back into the spotlight.

Very entertaining but clearly flawed brawler.

The gameplay, which is somewhat simplistic and slow, may prove to be a negative for those who want more action from their games. If you're into theme parks and would like to find out how it feels to not only run one but to be an active participant in the creations you make, Thrillville may just be the game for you.

Red Steel is a good first try for Ubisoft in the arena of Wii shooting games, and the new, unique experience of actually being physically involved with the in-game action may be all that is needed to overcome some of the weaker aspects of the title for some gamers.

We've played it forever, but it still has that Zelda magic.

Excite Truck lives up to its name--the only problem may come in how long you find it exciting.

Between the huge environment, multiple difficulties per goal, and multiplayer, plenty of replayability is ready to be had in the game. But whether or not Project 8 is worth picking up comes down to how tired you are of the Tony Hawk formula.

If you enjoy Tetris, Bejeweled, Lumines, Meteos and all of their puzzle ilk, then you will most definitely want to add Gunpey to your collection.

Best bet is to buy the PS2 version of the game for your DBZ cravings and wait for the next Wii version.

There's no fun to be had here, no matter your age. Even for a bargain price, you'd do good to stay away from this one.

Fun, but fuzzy. If you've already played the big version of Legend, skip this DS title. If you are a fan of TR, check it out. You may like it.

The singleplayer game is slightly improved on the 360 version, but the online isn't up to Live's status.

Engrossing, frantic and exciting.

Even if you don't take into account the incredible multiplayer which allows for up to 40 players per match, and includes a co-op mode almost as fun as the one in Gears, Resistance is a very fun game to play.

If you're looking for a game which truly showcases what the Wii is all about, or if you're looking for a game to match your own twisted sense of humor, you'd do yourself a disservice by not picking up Raving Rabbids.

A fun title that manages to overcome its shortcomings by simply being entertaining.

Be wary of the insanely long load times.

Solid golf title that fixes a few problems from the Xbox 360 outing, but still leaves some unanswered and makes online even worse.

While past games in the series were almost unbelievably loaded with different fighting moves to learn, N:UC is almost Spartan by comparison.
