A simple game that's simply addicting.

A definite treat for Rocky fans that comes up a little short as a boxing sim.

Xbox Live gamers should seriously consider hooking into XSN with NFL Fever 2004. For everyone else, the game will be more appealing to the casual football gamer than the hardcore veteran crowd.

While the single player campaign does have some exciting missions, overall it's too easy and the story is simply a mess. As always for a Call of Duty game, Ghosts multiplayer really delivers, providing plenty of fast, smooth, and challenging online competition.

While not being a nothing-but-net caliber game, NBA Live 08 does score after a couple of friendly bounces around the rim.

Less crime and more punishment.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that aside from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (which isn’t really an FPS), Medal Of Honor 2 Heroes is the Wii’s definitive FPS experience. It successfully caters to all audiences, from kids to adults, casual gamers to hardcore ones and new school online fans and old school players alike.

B movie humor can't entirely save B level gameplay.

It's like dating a gorgeous woman with a vacuous personality and intellect, eventually you'll start wishing that there was more there and will want to move on.

The 40th Day outshines the original Army of Two in just about every way, and kicks the franchise into a higher gear.

Life Goes On provides some fun in spite of its short life.

A better than average platformer with a great look, a lot of atmosphere, and a few interesting twists on the genre.

FlatOut 2 is a big improvement over the original game, but it's not quite ready for primetime yet.

Medal of Honor: Airborne is an enjoyable shooter, adding enough to the formula to avoid feeling like a retread of territory you've crossed many times before.

Dawnguard is DLC done right.

The PSP’s first option for football gaming on the go is a good one and will fill the gap nicely as we wait for the system’s first full NFL game.

Project Spark makes it fun to create games, but those games are not that much fun to play.

Multiplayer boasts some pretty crazy 25 v. 25 matches that can rage on over land, and sea, and air (GI Joooe!). And if all of that still isn't enough, it's definitely worth mentioning that you also get the full campaign and multiplayer sets from the first installment of ARMA 2, making the argument not to pick it up a difficult one.

The game looks fantastic, plays great and gives the player a ton of stuff to collect and unlock. I might hate the source material, but this is the 3DS gem everyone has been waiting for. If nothing else, it will keep you occupied until Nintendo's wave of June releases.

Vanguard is an incremental iteration for the Call of Duty franchise. It’s a solid entry in the series that does well what Call of Duty does well, but it doesn’t stand-out as a landmark release. If you enjoy Call of Duty, haven’t played for a few years, or are new to franchise, then by all means jump in. The water’s fine.

Lumines Plus is for those who enjoy a puzzle game with a pulse.

Despite its control issues and occasional frustrations Gun Showdown is an enjoyable game. It does a good job of creating a classic western lone gunman story and packing it with exciting missions with plenty of action.

If you’re in the mood for a lot of style and something unique in your FPS then XIII isn’t a completely unlucky number. Just don’t expect much more than what you see.

The Political Machine 2008 is best suited to those in the board game crowd with a decided interest in politics.

Full Burst is the ultimate version of Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, but if you have the original version, there might not be enough here to get you to come back to it.

Not quite as ultimate as the title suggests, but Ultimate Mortal Kombat is still a faithful port of the classic Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

Prism is certainly different than other puzzle games out there, which is nice to see considering all of the cloning that goes on in the genre. However, Prism just seems to be missing that indescribable something that makes a puzzle game addicting.

All challenging boss fights, all the time. What's not to like?

An enjoyable twist on the tower defense genre. The downside of tower defense games is that you can often find yourself a disengaged viewer, watching your towers do their work and hoping for the best. That's not the case with Space Run. It has the strategy elements of a tower defense game, but it keeps you constantly active in defending and adapting your ship. And to me, that's a winning combination.

An ambitious game that falls a bit short on execution, Warrior Kings is not suited to casual gamers but RTS veterans may find it intriguing.

Poor translations and horrible voice-acting aside, Super Bust-A-Move 2 is a fun and often frantic game that should be a part of any puzzle game fan's library.

A year ago I would have been hard pressed to recommend Dead to Rights. But now that’s it’s part of the budget-priced “Greatest Hits” line I say that it’s worth checking out as long as you’re not expecting state-of–the-art gameplay or graphics.

If you're a Buffy fan, rejoice and go forth and slay.

A fast-paced puzzle game that manages to put a new twist on match-3 gameplay.

The game is quite a decent brawler rogue-like experience, but it is heavily brought down by its bugs. You might play the game and not get any in the short-term, but keep playing and your bound to run across one. The worst part about the bugs is how they soft-lock you out of progressing. Without the technical problems, I’d give the game somewhere in the 70% range easily since it’s quite good on its own, but the problems bring it down quite a bit overall.

A unique but challenging puzzle game that is best left to the patient.

Cold Winter is the type of game you would take home to meet your mother, not too flashy but nothing to be embarrassed about either...just a good time.

It takes a very methodical and patient strategy gamer to appreciate Laser Squad Nemesis.

f you're a fan of science fiction stories, such as the Deus Ex games, you'll most likely find something to like in State of Mind. It's got some nice twists and surprises once it starts moving along at a good pace. The number of characters you eventually play as and the learning of some good information about each of their lives helps the story out a good bit. Also, the game's style by itself was enough to draw me into it from the get-go.

The style of the game is pure anime, with that Old West thing thrown in, but on the blocky side.

A surprisingly entertaining game, as long as you don’t take your gaming too seriously.

Overall PIU is best enjoyed by DDR fans looking for a little challenge. The game is too brutal on beginners to win many converts as only the patient and diligent will stick with it long enough to get good at it.

If you're not a big fan of attack button heavy action games, Wolverine is not enough of a departure from the mold to change your mind about these types of games. However, if you like Wolverine, X-Men Origins, or a big bloody mess of an action game, you should certainly give Wolverine a try.

Ultimate Alliance 2 is a step sideways for the series, but the game is still a button-mashing treat for superhero fans.

I'm sure kids will appreciate the interactive cartoon nature of the game, and parents can feel safe leaving their kids to the family-friendly misadventures of Wallace and Gromit.

War Front: Turning Point won’t turn the RTS world on its ear, but if you’re looking for an RTS in the traditional mold you should take it for a spin.

In a move that doesn't happen often these days, I'm going to go against the mainstream critics and fans and say The Escapists 2 is a Switch game that doesn't even deserve a first look, let alone a second. If I want to feel the opposite of entertained, and instead an emotion bordering on physical pain, I'd save my money and throw myself down the stairs. My home has two flights, one for each game in this inexplicably popular series. Good news! I never have to play either again, and I can get the same feeling by hurling myself down one of the two carpeted inclines in my own home - for free.

The units in the game are very detailed and unlike a lot of strategy games they look really good when the camera is zoomed in all of the way. Furthermore the game provides an excellent unit editor that really lets you customize the look of your armies.

Easily the best Vietnam game to date – 2015 has done a great job of capturing the atmosphere of the war.

Has its fun and addicting moments, although it is hampered by uneven level design, loose control, and a confusing menu scheme.

Defender can be a fun game ... while it lasts.

Even though the game is set in the 1930s, BloodRayne looks more like a young high school goth-boy's fantasy woman, with a very trendy hair cut and a mix of leather and Victoria's Secret undergarments.

There's a decent game hidden under all of this monetization, but it's not worth subjecting yourself to all of these aggressive attempts for you to put a lot of money into the game. The game's just not good enough to cost so much to enjoy.

In spite of these shortfalls, Fort Meow is still recommendable for anyone who enjoys physics-based games and is looking for something a little bit different.

World to the West wasn't quite what it could have been, but it's still a compelling adventure that will appeal to more folks than you might think.

Limerick has some great ideas, but overall it's just not that fun.

Darwin’s Paradox is a solid platformer that gambles on the movement of a new mascot, risk that pays out as the Octopus is an easily lovable one. Worth having an eye for a sequel as potentially all ingredients for a very good IP legacy are there.

Savage Moon is the creepy-crawly version of Pixel Junk Monsters.

From a pure gameplay perspective, you've seen most of what is in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 before in previous LEGO games. However, it's a formula that works well and I still had fun with the game even though I basically knew what to expect going into it. I liked the story in this game, it's fun and original, and is packed with that trademark LEGO humor. It's a great game for parents to play with their kids, or for anyone who's a kid at heart. While fans of the Marvel comics will get the most out of the game, it's still a lot of fun for those who don't know every last hero in the canon.

It's hard to judge the overall quality of an expansion just a third of the way in, but Mission Pack 1 is a good enough of a start to make me look forward to the next installment.

This game feels just like you’re playing through the anime series at a more rapid pace. Besides Dragonball Fighter Z, it’s the first game I’ve seen to capture the feel of the series so very well and with a good bit of quality. Dragonball Z: Kakarot is a great companion piece to the old DBZ series. Whether you’re new to the series, are watching it right now or have seen it back in the past (like me) then there is something here to enjoy for you. Fans will get the most of the game, but newcomers will get introduced to the series rather well.

NBA Live 08 is a big improvement over prior next-gen versions of the game, but it still has a bit to go before it will truly feel next-gen.

If you’re a Dragon Ball Z fan you’re going to love Supersonic Warriors.

At its best when it's closest to recreating the feel of Dishonored, but it's not always at its best.

Like it's predecessor SingStar '80s, SingStar '90's track list is just too wide-ranging to keep you from burning out on the small handful of songs that you'll enjoy singing.

The game's only real misstep is the wildly inconsistent graphical presentation, but the gameplay and amount of features and things to do more than makes up for some occasionally shoddy visuals.

The Xbox One release satisfied the nostalgia hungry gamers while perfectly introducing a large number of newcomers to the series in a perfect package. The Windows 10 release feels out of place in comparison, and with no real intended audience.

All things considered, if you enjoy the sport or even if you just enjoy challenging yourself with new games that are Move compatible, I'd say this one is worth picking up.

Fans of Koei's hack and slash games will most likely find something to enjoy in Samurai Warriors 4-II - if you're in it for the overall gameplay, it's a lot of fun.

Samurai Warriors may fall short in eye candy but with the multiple new characters, weapons, attacks and gameplay enhancements available, fans of the action genre will find the game stable and a load of fun to boot.

It's the best Matrix game to date, but Matrix games still have a way to go.

If you want to play Overwatch, the Switch shouldn't be your first platform of choice, and if you're looking for a way to play Overwatch on the go, you're still going to be limited to high-speed access points. Imprecise controls and graphical slowdowns are other issues that you'll need to contend with, but at its core the games is still a fun team-based shooter, and if the Switch is your only option to play it you will probably have fun with it overall.

There are some interesting ideas at play here and the reality TV show simulation genre is far from crowded, but the problem is that there is so little to the actual core gameplay. The voyeuristic nature of reality TV makes this a game in which you spend a lot of time simply listening to the characters speak to each other and finding that what they have to say isn’t all that interesting. I can’t help but feel that if this was more of a real simulation of reality TV that gave you a lot more control in staging and forcing dramatic moments, then The Crush House would be more fun to play. As it is, it’s a bit of curiosity that will keep your interest about as long as it does your fictional viewers’.

It's good to see the return of some old favorites from previous Guitar Hero games, but this whole thing should really have been released online as downloadable tracks.

A somewhat entertaining diversion from the onslaught of current street racing games, but it does not take home any checked flags because of its lack of online play and questionable control.

SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 moves onto the Wii with some better emulation and control options over the latter two making it a slightly more enjoyable experience.

The game's arcade-like action can be fun at times, but its difficulty level and lack of mid-mission saves will quickly make it too frustrating for many players.

0RBITALIS isn't for everyone. It's pretty challenging, requires patience and perseverance, and once you've made your move there's nothing left for you to do but watch the laws of physics take over. But if you're anything like me, you'll find all of that fascinating.

Heart of the Forest is a decent visual novel but not long enough to make much of an impact for the series.

A bit thin for a single player game, but multiplayer mode is great for gaming parties and makes it easy for your non-gaming friends to join in on the fun.

Glory Days 2 can be enjoyable, primarily because it is a rather unique game. On the downside it feels like the game was designed for a larger screen and that it could use a little more unit and aircraft variety.

Soulstrorm delivers two new factions that are great additions to the Dawn of War conflict.

A haunting game that will haunt you for a while after you finish it.

A good choice for those who like puzzle games that require you to use your reflexes along with your brains.

I'd recommend renting the game, playing for a few hours until you compete the Gluttony circle, and then turning it in at that point since you'll have experience the best the game has to offer by then, Going any further should be left to masochists, gluttons for punishment, and game reviewers.

FIFA 07 is an evolutionary step in the transition to next-gen gaming. Those looking for a revolutionary leap will have to wait at least another year.

Those with a taste for all things gothic will probably love Primal, as will many other gamers However, its high production values are hampered somewhat by its underdeveloped fighting engine, simple puzzles, and slow pacing.

It’s not a slam dunk, but NBA Live 08 certainly takes it to the hoop.

It's going to be tough for me to recommend AotS to anyone who isn't a die-hard Dragonball fan. Not because the game isn't good and enjoyable for fans and non-fans alike, as it is; no, I can't give this one my stamp of approval because it's 2009 and I'm flatly refusing to endorse any RPG that continues to cling to the random battle system.

While many gamers may not be drawn to Drawn to Life, the youngsters will probably enjoy seeing their creations in the game and the simple gameplay.

Zone of the Enders HD collection features high-speed robot action with a great overall story - oh, and it has another Metal Gear demo too!

Amusement Park's environment is more fun than the original one in Pain, but it should be giving you more for your money.

It may not satisfy the hardcore fighting fan or impress those who aren’t fans of DBZ, but anyone who enjoys the Dragon Ball series will find it thoroughly enjoyable.

Brain dead bot AI and a lackluster campaign can make it a frustrating and less than enjoyable single player experience.

AI and pathfinding issues along with dated graphics prevent Warlords Battlecry III from being a top-tier strategy game. If you can put up with these shortcomings, then you’ll find a lot to like with the game.

While it's an enjoyable enough experience this game just cannot shake the 'been there, done that' vibe it gives off.

Veteran players and die-hard baseball fans will probably find it too simplistic and ultimately unsatisfying.

Gangstas in Space was fun to play through and I enjoyed the fact that it was story-based and fully voiced after having played through the disappointing GenkiBowl VII. On the other hand, I still expect to get more than two hours out of pay DLC, even if there's a spaceship waiting for me in my garage after I'm done.
