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.

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.

Order of the Phoenix is the first movie game of the year that would be considered solid for a game, period. For a movie tie-in, it's spectacular.

A creepy independent title that succeeds in its focus on refining established gameplay elements rather than defining its own.

A rather mediocre and bland third-person shooter. Other than the visuals, everything else is pretty so-so.

It's a racing game that has a lot of good going for it until you get into the driving mechanics of drifting your car. This part of the title may totally give you hissy fits. Try before you buy.

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

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.

Just Cause was filled with a lot of great ideas. It had the potential to be an awesome game, but what comes across as unsurety on the part of the development team really hampers it.

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.

To summarize, this is not a game for everyone; it has its load times and a learning curve that can throw the average user at first.

Not much has changed. What has changed, unfortunately, is often for the worse.

Different and fun for gamers who seek an alternative to the typical football videogame experience. When that novelty wears away, however, what gamers are left with is a relatively shallow experience waiting to be replaced by the next new thing.

The characters and scenery look absolutely gorgeous, and the speaking is surprisingly good. Sadly, the developers seem to have aimed at the younger crowd and the non-gaming crowd, as there's really no challenge other than overcompensating for the occasionally stupid AI.

The title says it all. If you like Guitar Hero and Aerosmith, pick it up. If you only like Guitar Hero, wait for the next real GH game like the rest of us.

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

March Madness 08 tries to woo new players with new low-post play and classic rosters, but it doesn't quite work. Maybe next year we'll see a real revamp?

For a PSP RPG, it's pretty good, but for a Tales game, it's below par. Tales fans will love the references to other characters in the series and the humor, but the non-Tales crowd may get flustered at all the in-jokes.

This game is entertaining, although it contains barely any "real" gameplay. Great for a trip, or a rental on a lazy day.

The unique gameplay is appealing, but the lack of depth and variety is disappointing.

Despite The Godfather: Mob Wars' impressive visuals, voice acting and decent attempt to offer a dynamically different experience from other console versions, awkwardly mapped controls, an uninspired mini-game, recurring bugs and an overall lack of depth keep it from being a truly unique handheld experience.

If it weren't for the humor in the game, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Thanks to the clever writing, there are some who will appreciate the game enough to forgive the limited gameplay mechanics.

If Frontlines came out a year earlier, it would have easily been one of the more recommendable FPS titles on the 360. As it is, the flurry of awesome FPS offerings in the latter half of 2007 completely overshadow anything it has going for it.

Despite its attractive veneer, SH:O is short, cumbersome, and fails to strongly engage the player. Dated, but not bad, "blah" describes it well.

If you’re a hardcore Mana fan, desperate for an SRPG on the DS, or want to try something new, Heroes of Mana is a fun game. If you aren’t one of those, you won’t like this.
