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.

The action and plot are both intense and well-woven, as well. The cutscenes are lengthy and numerous, but don't really wow you. And the weird distortion of reality heralds back to a much-missed adventure hey-day where the plot mattered more than simply looking pretty.

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

Once again, we've been treated to - at its core - an updated version of last year's game with a few minor tweaks to try and spruce things up. ESPN integration is sparse, the game itself plays much like last year (even with True Aiming once your golfer is good), and the complicated menu system and buggy online game yield more frustration than fun.

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.

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

This is an online turn-based strategy game done right. Even though the difficulty can be pretty tough, the game succeeds as both a casual or engaging war game. It's good on all fronts.

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

The massively open online racing idea works, but critical portions of the racing and the game itself prevent this from being the next big thing.

he game offers furious water gun shooting action with great graphics and sound, but has problems with various camera angles and in-game bugs.

Konami Classics Arcade Hits has a ton of replay value packed into it. At a retail value of $30 for only 15 games, how can you lose?

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

If you're a fan of 4X games or want to engage in one of the most in-depth strategy games released lately, then Space Empires V is your ticket.

Despite a few clipping issues and the cramped control style, I found Downhill Jam to be surprisingly good all-around.

Overlord is like that annoying friend that may steal your Cheetos once in a while, and although you get mad, it's only for a brief moment because you can't wait to see what the crazy bugger will do next.

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.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is a fighter that will draw fighting fans to its crisp, fast, fighting action and will entertain fans of the Dragon Ball franchise.

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

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja is a surprisingly refreshing approach to the world of fighting games with lightning quick action, lots of power-ups, good anime cut scenes, a respectable fighting system and a gameplay that will appeal to die hard fighting fans as well as to the general gamer.

Fans of the .hack series will feel quite comfortable in revisiting the world again. But there aren't a great deal of enhancements to the game.

When it's all said and done, this is the best Pac-Man game on XBLA. The flashy, neon graphics and increased speed make it unlike any Pac experience yet. Unfortunately, this wasn't the first Pac-Man game released on XBLA, meaning a lot of people just won't be willing to pay another 10 bucks to get the same game again.

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

The Da Vinci Code will have the greatest appeal, ironically, to those who have not read the book or seen the movie, as a strong familiarization with Dan Brown's work may actually detract from the gaming experience.

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 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.

Dungeon Runners is an easy to play, quick to jump-in and a relatively fun hack n' slash game. It's also free and small to download so you might as well give it a whirl -- it can't hurt.

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.
