    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.

    Incredibly easy to use driving flop.

    It's unfortunate that Gothic 3 was basically released in an unfinished state. As the game is now, though, nobody should be forced to go through the hell I went through to get to the enjoyable parts.

    Overall, Medieval 2: Total War is an excellent real-time/turn-based strategy experience and definitely warrants a look, if not a sure-fire purchase, by fans.

    My main gripe with this game, besides it's overwhelmingly average feeling, is its load times. Simply stated, they are HORRIBLE -- and there are lots of them.

    Viva PiƱata is a game that can be enjoyed by children, teenagers or adults. The universal appeal of this game lies with the fact that people generally like animals and nice gardens. What VP does is to combine these elements into an enjoyable experience.

    It's difficult to really describe what exonerates the game from being considered a lifeless, average game. Maybe it's the stunning visuals, or the satisfaction from chainsawing your opponents into chunks of flesh or the unparalleled sense of realism. It has its problems just like any game, but the experience of playing Gears of War is undeniably incredible.

    It provides plenty of glorious visuals, the audio is top-notch and the missions are pretty damn fun.

    t's a marvel to behold, a lot of fun, and the very pinnacle of WWII simulators.

    Good game, but it's basically more of the same.

    In the end, Guitar Hero II is basically the same game as Guitar Hero, but with a much higher difficulty and a completely revamped multiplayer mode.

    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.

    As the last Final Fantasy of the current-gen, it delivers as the best of the bunch. An epic story, incredible characters, slightly-innovated battle system and some of the best graphics seen on the PS2 add up for an incredible journey any RPG fan shouldn't miss out on.

    For RPG lovers, picking up NWN2 is a no-brainer. The game has the story, the characters, the action and the lore behind it to make it an enjoyable piece of work.

    When you couple the sheer entertainment value of the Power Stone games with the fact that this title offers two games for the price of one, that should be reason enough to warrant a purchase from any gamers looking for a great PSP fighter.

    But the blatant flaws like inconsistent difficulty spotted with flat unfunny humor attempts, as well as huge gaps between storyline progression seem hell-bent on making you not really care as much as you should.

    Whether looked at as a standalone game or an update to previous Guild Wars titles, Nightfall is a winner. While it isn't particularly innovative and won't win any awards for major technical upgrades, it is a very nice addition to the series, and most importantly, it's simply fun to play.

    Dark Messiah is a prime choice for action lovers, but keep in mind the little letdowns and possible performance issues before you put down the cash to buy it.

    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.

    While the story itself is quite compelling and the premise is very interesting, the numerous technical problems keep this title from ever achieving its true potential.

    In the end, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is a nice refresher from the X-Men Legends series, and a game no comic fan should miss. If you enjoy the arcade-style titles of this nature (such as Gauntlet or the previous Legends titles), you'd also do well to pick the game up.
