An attempt to bring a new and realistic fighting game to a market that isn’t into the sport. This game is not going to win over any new fans for the K-1 world.

Nancy Drew clues Wii owners in on some fun mystery gameplay.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD is a remix of new and old and looks great with its new HD graphics, but much of the game still remains the same.

If you're looking to recapture a bit of that old school Sonic magic, you might want to put on some Fancy Pants.

It's nice that many games include achievements and support online multiplayer and leaderboards, but if you're not having much fun with the games, what's the point? Atari Flashback Classics would have been a stronger collection if it had fewer games and more effort could have been put into making them play as well as the originals. As it stands, though, this collection is strictly for the hardcore gaming classicist.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the best TMNT game on the App Store (Rooftop Run was a waste of everyone's time), and definitely better than the recent TMNT: Out of the Shadows and animated series tie-in titles.

If you enjoy strategy games you’ll probably like WotR, although hardcore RTS gamers may find it to be just an average game and only a light challenge.

Lucas Arts impressed me in some areas (graphics and concept), while disappointing me in others (sound and of course you can’t forget, nauseating camera angles—I’ve ridden roller coasters more stable than the camera was!) with this title.

It isn't the prettiest, longest or most challenging game out there, but if you thirst for an era of puzzles, slower pacing and an almost tangible sense of style, you'll probably like these zombies as much as I did.

Alien Shooter Vengeance manages to make the whole scale slaughter of thousands of vicious aliens tedious and repetitive.

The game's good points are just way too good to let the numerous and glaring errors drag things down to the failing grades. Nier is both a gem and a turd, and those who feel the nagging urge to try it out are urged to do so.

With its flashy combat system, Web of Shadows is a notable addition to the other sandbox style Spider-man games but the overall mission structure and lack of polish keeps it from standing out as well as it could.

Alien Breed 2 continues the story of Conrad's fight against alien's in outer space and serves as a good pickup for any science fiction shooter fan.

WWE 2K18 introduces some new modes and advancements in visuals but it falls flat in too many ways.

The levels are imaginative, but the gameplay's nothing to get hyper over.

Cursed Mountain provides a unique survival horror experience for the Wii but the slow-paced gameplay can be a turn off early on in the game.

A little more "I" in its "AI" would go a long way towards making this a great game.

Looks good, but needs to play better.

They took the bad out of Ninja Gaiden 3 and improved the game to "just OK".

Old school is not always the best school.

Shadowrun is one of those games that you want to like, but that ends up disappointing you in the end.

If you're an aficionado of the series, then you won't be disappointed with the quality of this title. However, as a fighter the game falls short of the top titles in the genre and will more than likely be too simplistic for fighter fans.

A music game that’s really for puzzle gamers as music fans will have a hard time getting their groove on.

Tank Universal's core tank battle gameplay can be both challenging and fun, but the time you are forced to spend away from your tank tends to drag. It won't appeal to everyone, but if you're itching for some old school tank action there's some fun to e had here.

At least another year away from a run at the championship.

MX vs. ATV is a pretty good game. It has high points and low points, but sadly, being average doesn't really cut the mustard in the industry today.

King of Fighters fans should definitely check out this solid fighting game collection.

If Berzerk were part of a collection of arcade games so that you could enjoy it in short bursts with a variety of other games it would be fine. However, there’s just not enough here to support a standalone release.

Apparently the life of giant robot is pretty repetitive.

More characters and maps are planned for the future, but some players may not feel motivated to keep playing once they completed the season tiers until there’s something new in the game to work towards. Still, Toys for Bob should get a lot of credit for making a competitive multiplayer platformer that not only works, but is fun to play.

If you do finish Riddle of the Tomb, you won't be drawn back into the story by an interesting denouement. Like the rest of the game, it splutters and fades, leaving you cold and bored.

It's hardly an 'elite' game, but it will keep the kiddies entertained for a bit.

Veronica returns to us with a sharper and more upgraded look. The girl may be old, but she looks good for her age and she still knows how to tell a story.

Frustrations aside, the game's an enjoyable and pretty solid little twin-stick kill-fest. Warhammer fan or not, go out and kill some Orks.

X-Files fans will love the storyline, but gamers will be disappointed by the game’s control and graphics troubles.

Tries to bring realism to a game that really should have more of a fun arcadey-fun feel to it. So if you’re into tennis in a big way and can overlook some of the funkiness of this game you may have found your match.

NFS Carbon is simply a lot more fun on other consoles.

CivCity: Rome fails to capture the glory of Rome or of the Civilization series of games.

Harmony of Despair is Castlevania's first attempt at a multiplayer Castlevania with the usual gameplay and it really delivers quite an experience for a hardcore Castlevania fan!

If you're over ten, though, you'll find things too easy to provide much challenge at all, so you'd better be a really big Ice Age fan if you're going to get your money's worth out of it.

If building a real estate empire were this easy, we’d all be bored millionaires by now.

Resident Evil 6 is a mix of good and bad, but the good does outweigh the bad and the game brings many welcome changes to the usual action gameplay found in past games.

Fighting the interface is half of the battle here, but if you can get past that you'll find that at its core Squad Command is an ejoyable strategy game.

Even though I greatly enjoy the movies, I have to say, Blair Witch makes a better game than a movie.

A treat for Harry Potter fans.

The Dream of the Turtle is not quite a nightmare, but it’s not a good dream either.

Faces of War has its moments ... some good ones and plenty of frustrating ones.

A lot of the fun got nuked out of Dark Alliance when it was moved to Fallout's post-apocalyptic future.

It's been several years since we last heard from the Lee brothers, but it's good to see that they haven't lost their touch for rescuing Marion!

If the game’s story, characters, and research aspect sound really appealing to you, then go ahead and give the game a try – there is some intriguing gameplay under the incomplete covers. For anyone else, though, I’d recommend that you use your real-world Google skills to find another adventure game to play.

While I enjoyed the game from an aesthetics perspective, I wish that the controls were tighter and the puzzles more challenging.

Culpa Innata is best left to the most masochistic of adventure game fans.

Transformers: Decepticons is a very entertaining mid-summer treat for DS fans everywhere, especially for those who tire of always having to save the day.

You'll get several hours of play out of the expansion, and if you enjoyed the original game's campaign you'll have fun with this one.

The game does a good job of capturing the look of Scooby Doo, but has none of its spirit.

Love Dragon Ball Z and you’ll like the game.

An interesting world and great atmosphere can't save repetitive gameplay made even more tedious by a terrible camera system.

The Sinking City is an overall good game if you enjoy investigation games with a bit of horror elements in them. This is really not a game that I would recommend to a horror fans since it focuses far more on investigation and the overall story is slow from the start. Once you get deeper into the game, the horror atmosphere gets better, but it never does stray too far from solving cases in order to gain evidence that takes you to your next lead. Basically, it's not up to a Call of Cthulhu type of horror atmosphere, but it does have its moments where it gets a bit freaky in between all the investigation moments.

All complaints and setup times aside, FF XI is one of the stronger MMORPGs out there, and when it comes to console MMORPGs (not PC), it may very well be the best.

Perhaps 'Boringgirl' would have been a better title.

In spite of the short length, repetition, and glitches, Regeneration does provide enjoyment to Evil Dead fans. The voice acting by Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi's brother Ted is excellent and the game packs in a surprisingly large amount of dialog between Ash and Sam.

F.E.A.R. Files is a disappointing expansion to a fun and scary game. The gameplay, and especially the graphics, seem to have gotten very old very quickly.

Mole Control could have just as easily have been called Molesweeper

Sim racing fans will find that it is too easy and not realistic enough, and will grow tired of it before too long.

Features some great tracks and can be fun to play at times, but it does not have the challenge or features to give it real staying power.

Fans of One Piece might find something to enjoy in One Piece: Burning Blood, but newcomers will be totally lost.

Putting aside preferences, the control scheme for Operation Surma works just a bit better on the Xbox’s controller allowing more sensitivity and precision.

Best suited to younger gamers new to RPGs as veteran gamers will find it too simple and repetitive.

The puzzles needed to be more creative and challenging, a bit of a help navigating would have been nice, and I could have done without the timing-based puzzles with the sloppy controls.

If you’re a fan of old-school survival horror games, definitely give this game a try. I greatly enjoyed it and could look past the flaws, but the flaws are too bad to ignore (in some instances) when reviewing the game. Alone in the Dark is a series that has been MUCH in need of a reboot and reimagining and this latest Alone in the Dark does that quite well. This game may have its problems, but it’s certainly nice to see that Alone in the Dark is actually relevant once again.

So I was interested to find out if my enjoyment for football overcame my disinterest in strategic games. Well in my case the micromanagement aspect was just too much for me to overcome.

The action's not enough of a payoff for all the time spent in robot design.

Call of Cthulhu is such a dark game that if you turned off the lights while playing it, you might get sucked into the void.

Great visuals can’t make up for repetitive and unchallenging gameplay.

It doesn't bring anything new to the table past the usual Warriors style gameplay, so if you're both a Berserk fan and a Musou fan you'll get the most out of it.

Fun gameplay is the real murder victim here.

A good mix of manga characters along with some SEGA goodness, but deep down, the game feels shallow as a fighter.

It's a shame that the battles can so often be frustrating in the game, because everything else about it is enjoyable. The hand-drawn artwork is fantastic, the video game references enjoyable, and the story a lot of fun. However, unless you have a high tolerance for frustration it's doubtful that the game's positives will be enough to drive you to play it all the way through.

More for the ABBA fan who wants to sing and sway long to vintage clips than the dance game fanatic.

Will prove too frustrating for most gamers. It is best left to Galactica buffs who know the difference between a dagget and a Cylon and who are looking for any nostalgia fix that they can get their hands on.

Sonic Unleashed is a decent Sonic game for someone that can overlook the slower Night stages. The Werehog missions aren't all the way bad but when played several times in a row, they tend to become repetitive and unwelcome.

Obscure: Aftermath isn't without its flaws, but you could do much, much worse on a system that has had a criminal shortage of games as of late.

WOTB: Commando 3 blends the gameplay of both of its predecessors and makes a good stand against the other arcade shooters on the marketplace.

It looks good and covers the basics of street racing, but the bottom line is that the racing is just not all that exciting.

It's fun, good-natured and interesting, but just below the surface, all it is really interested in is squeezing some begrudgingly offered dollars from your pocket.

The potentially interesting aspects of the game have been completely buried under bloated and far too frequent conversations and mundane battles.

With this HD update, the Pro Skater franchise is back on top. Check this out as soon as humanly possible.

For fans of games with deep stories, you'll get the most out of Someday You'll Return. It's definitely a type of story that requires a lot of thought to piece together after you see it all. The game has multiple endings, so there is a reason to play through it again. There are also many collectibles to find (one collectible type has 100 pieces to find!). Fans of Silent Hill and horror games in general will probably like this game, but keep in mind that it is a very different type of horror game from Silent Hill and Resident Evil - it only takes inspiration from them and is very much its own game and far from a clone. The game builds an overall interesting world and gives a memorable experience that we don't often see in many horror games nowadays.

Overall EA Playground can be fun for younger gamers, but it's not going to win them over like a new version of Pokemon would. It's basically a rainy day diversion when the weather keeps the kids off of the real playground.

Black Knight Sword is quite an enjoyable and unique platformer that is worth a try - it's short but memorable.

Overall, Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded isn't a terrible game, but like all the other spin-offs and sequels, it fails to come close to the greatness of the original.

Lara has a nice range of moves, but the game is pretty linear and straight-forward. What you have in the end is a nice looking but fairly standard game that will have the most appeal to Lara Croft and action-adventure fans.

Despite its problems, AEW: Fight Forever is a good start for an AEW game. It’s really nice to see WWE finally have some more competition. Let’s hope that the developers can address some of the problems in a future update and add some more content to the game in the months ahead. As it stands, the game is mainly only good for online or couch co-op with a friend. The Road to Elite single player mode is way too short and repetitive to hold up for long. The game has a better feel to it online when compared to a WWE game, so it has it beat on that. If you want a good single player experience however, WWE games far outweigh Fight Forever with content and just overall things to do.

Jack Holmes: Master of Puppets is an overall decent survival horror. The enemies in the game do get annoying, but you eventually get used to it. The game can actually be quite tough at times. There were points where I got a bit concerned about ammo, which is quite rare with survival horrors nowadays. If you enjoy RE7 and its overall horror atmosphere, be sure to give this game a try. I feel you’ll enjoy the game the most. The game is also comparable to Fobia: St Dinfna Hotel, which also played like RE7 overall, so if you like either of these games, Jack Holmes is worth a shot.

C'mon Silicon Knights, give us Eternal Darkness 2 instead of this silliness!

There isn't a whole lot else to say about Nectaris. It's an old school strategy title that I'm sure someone will enjoy based on either nostalgia or just a lack of anything else to play.

989 has certainly improved its game in the off-season with a very strong online presence. Unfortunately the actual gameplay will still keep GameDay as a backup for at least one more season.

The good ideas need to be backed up with good gameplay.
