Straight-forward, no nonsense trivia best left to the most diehard of fans of European soccer.

Match-three gameplay with bonus powers that add a fun twist to the game.

Gryphon Knight Epic has a certain nostalgic vibe to it and it delivers a style of gameplay that's in short supply these days, but it fails to nail the gameplay both in terms of mechanics and enjoyment. There are some good ideas at work behind the game, but they need more work to make Gryphon Knight Epic a good game.

Overall, Kong Survivor Instinct is a fun and satisfying game. I must repeat, this game caught me off guard. I was not expecting such a greatly polished Metroidvania and Shadow Complex-style game out of this. If you like either type of game, be sure to check this game out. This game seems quite “under the radar”, but hopefully, more people will try it out and give it the attention it deserves. Fans of the Legendary’s Monsterverse definitely need to pick this one up.

I do not think that Ryse was an instant classic and must be in your collection, but I do highly recommend it by borrowing from a friend or grabbing on sale.

What Happened isn't totally bad, but the gameplay makes it a real chore to play. If you're a fan of a decent story, you might find something to like here, but if you're planning on actually enjoying the gameplay in between the story, it's not that fun.

If there had been a better variety of enemies and missions and if the story really fleshed out and brought to life a Goldfinger/No power struggle, we could have had the makings of a classic.

Deadpool proves that even the most random comic book character can have a highly entertaining video game when he is portrayed well.

You're better off just taking your kids out back and tossing around a real football.

A game that did not need to be made. Check out "X-Men Legends" instead. You'll thank me later.

Ferrari Racing Legends is more of a game for the true hardcore fan of Ferrari cars rather than a player looking for a good driving simulator.

This one's best left to diehard fans that can't bear to let anything Ratchet & Clank pass them by. Everyone else should let it go quietly away into the dark.

It can have its moments, but a lack of action and exciting mini-games can make Muppet Party Cruise drag on like a bad party.

Arkanoid DS is a great game for portable play. It's simple enough to lend itself to playing in short sessions while on the go, but challenging enough to bring you back for more play.

Just right for little girls, but not for anyone else.

The bottom line is that this game is amateurish and not that much fun to play. For the same price, or less if you shop around, you can go out and buy "Freelancer."

Wario, what happened to the fun?

Much like the PS2 version, this is still a good collection content-wise, but the PSP version greatly amplifies every flaw that the PS2 version has.

Even though the racing can be enjoyable, MX vs. ATV Untamed suffers from a decided lack of variety.

The lack of emotional weight makes Omega just another pointless series of hallways chockful of mildly challenging cannon fodder.

Pacific Storm: Allies tries to incorporate so many features from war and strategy games that it collapses under the weight of it all, crushing all fun out of the game.

Hunted's flaws, I imagine, won't be forgivable by a good number of the folks who choose to check it out. For those that can look past the warts, though, a truly fun game exists below the surface here. Dungeon crawling is fun, right? Gears of War's cover-based shooting is the cat's pajamas, correct? Right, and Hunted: The Demon's Forge is the diamond in the rough game of the season.

Pac-man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 is a chomp in the right direction for this new style of Pac-man platformer.

The sequel to Obscure comes at us with some plausible scary environments and atmosphere but it is really not that much better than the first game.

Puzzle fans will enjoy Luxor but its lack of variety limits its appeal to other gamers.

The series is heading towards a good thing but this one just doesn't have it down enough.

JAM Live Music Arcade works better as a toy for jammers than an arcade game.

Mind Over Mutant doesn't mutate the standard platform game experience to stand out from the crowd.

Pinball purists might not get the level of simulation they require and smaller kids may find some of the tables' tasks a little difficult, but otherwise Adventure Pinball is a fun diversion for most players.

Too much repetition, too many problems, not enough fun.

Too simple and repetitive to recommend to anyone but a diehard Star Wars fan.

Overall, Zoo Tycoon 2's greatest appeal will be to younger gamers or tycoon game fans who don't mind exchanging complexity for the ability to play a tycoon game on the road.

This game is essentially a watered down racer that is easily replaced by any other racing game.

The entire game consists of one mode - looking at a bored-looking robot and imitating its moves - and that mode isn't really any fun.

Monster House looks good and sounds good, and combined with THQ's attention to the film, the game has atmosphere in spades. That's the real selling point of the title.

Despite all of its problems, The Town of Light has a very interesting story and it's worth a play just to experience it at least once.

It won't make anyone want to quit World of Warcraft, but it can be enjoyable enough if you'd like to try out a pirate's life for free.

The game has a lot of good ideas, but falls a little flat in the execution. Strategy gamers looking for something a little different or those with an interest in the period should give the game a look, but will need to approach it with a bit of patience.

Not bad, but no need to play it twice.

Overall ProStroke Golf is like an afternoon spent at an old muni course. You can have some fun with it but overall it’s bland and functional.

Releasing this game in its current state – now that’s a true crime.

It may have been a good idea to combine a cute platform game with pinball, but the result will frustrate as much as entertain its target audience.

Magna Cum Laude does get a slight recommendation based on its grade school level humor, but just prepare yourself for a lot of load screens and repetitive mini-games.

Even with its flaws, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is a rather fun brawler that can be enjoyable for a while. It can be beaten in about two days, so one rental will easily give enough time to plow through this game and complete everything it has to offer.

It can be enjoyable enough in short doses, but you may not find yourself motivated to stick with the game until the end, especially when you factor in the inevitable frustrations caused by the game's mission design.

The game is a lot of fun and its perfect for a system that can be used in handheld mode. This is the type of game that you'll definitely want to take on trips for some fast pick up and play type of action. Zombie Driver gets repetitive at times, but it's always fun to come back to. It's definitely a worthy pickup for shooter fans and fans of vehicular combat. I'd also recommend this to Dead Rising fans since it provides a similar type of zombie killing addiction that Dead Rising offers - only without the melee weapons and dress-up of course.

Suicide Squad could have been a much better game if it simply stuck to being a story-focused game with support for four-player co-op. The need to shoehorn repetitive grind missions into the game so that they could be recycled endlessly for live-service content obviously distracted from the development of a richer story and environment. The focus on weapons to support the kind of gear grind that keeps some players compelled to keep playing live-service games took the focus off of the characters, and making each one truly unique to play. I wouldn’t mind seeing a sequel, one without live-service aspirations and a focus giving each character a unique play experience, but after the disappointment that is Kill the Justice League, I think it will be a while before we see another Suicide Squad game.

Microbot is hard to recommend even to those who live for shmups and twin-stick shooters. It's an also-ran, a game that had the potential to be something special but in the end is just a really good-looking but thoroughly frustrating and mediocre game.

Overall, the game does not have much to it. It tries its best to achieve the randomness of a David Lynch movie, but just like his movies, you either love it or hate it. With me, I do not like Paratopic very much, but I do see where a person might be interested in it and give it a few playthroughs. One playthrough was enough for me and I was done after that. There are a total of 20 achievements to gain and I only got 10 of them on my first playthrough. The game roughly last around 40 minutes to an hour. There is no way to save and the game warns you of this from the start. The game is an interesting try for the curious, but be forewarned that you’ll only play it a few times before shelving it most likely.

Nostalgia alone is all there is to drive this lackluster game port, and it's not enough.

If Uno and Skip-Bo solitaire with a touch of Tetris thrown in sounds like your kind of thing, then you’re sure to enjoy this game.

So the story is pretty run-of-the-mill. The same can be said for just about all of this game.

There's nothing really more to the game other than an occasional comic book style still between levels. Unless you're the most diehard of Kong fan, there's not much that's going to hold your interest past your first session with the game.

Frantix will make you more frantic about the controls than the gameplay.

No Mass Effect 3 player should be without this DLC.

The quality of the graphics look as if they are dated by at least a few years. If we were able to see crisp characters, it might add something to the game.

Lost Sea is an overall fun survival game, but it has too many flaws that keep it from being as good as it could be.

In spite of its issues The Godfather: Mob Wars can be an enjoyable game although it would certainly benefit from better integration between the story and mob war modes.

On its own there is not enough in the game to make it compelling and the gameplay is just too lackluster to sustain interest.

Gauntlet fans will be disappointed and the game won’t win any new converts to Gauntlet fandom.

Overall Splatterhouse is a great buy if you're in the mood for an action game.

Combat is key in any good RPG and in Dragon Song the combat is very plain and in at least one area very bad.

If you're looking for a challenge or an in-depth game covering the Roman Empire, you might want to look elsewhere.

The problem is that using the Ring is not critical to success in the game - you can complete it easily enough without ever using the Ring.

As the matches drag on, you can't help but to use repetitive moves and you don't have enough control over things to be able to regularly generate positive reactions.

A great game ... just not on the GameCube.

Hydrophobia is a pretty good technical demo wrapped in an incomplete and unpolished game.

Rain World's unique look, atmosphere, and world are intriguing, as are some of the ideas behind its unusual style of gameplay. However, there's a lot to the game's mechanics and execution that aren't implemented well. If you spend a little time with Rain World, you'll find the wonder and fascination that you had at the start of the game quickly melting into total frustration.

Eragon will appeal more to those with dreams of dragon riding than those simply looking for a good action game.

The disappointing business simulation and the drone-like guests make it difficult for the game to hold your interest for too long.

In the AI department, Dark Planet is consistently inconsistent.

The general lack of interesting and fun gameplay makes this a hard sell.

Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll won't keep your interest for very long, but it may make you dizzy

NASCAR 08 is not a bad game, but you'll probably feel like it has potential to be a lot more.

Wanted Corp. isn't a bad title, just one that follows a million others like it and one that makes a design choice that doesn't quite fit. It can't quite make it to the heights some other recent dual-stick games have, but for $10, you could do a hell of a lot worse.

It has some bumps and bruises, but it will still satisfy your hockey cravings.

The game took around 4-5 hours to complete overall and I do take my time with games. I got so tired of the trial-and-error gameplay and overall lack of guidance on where to go that I had to track down a walkthrough (which I don’t often do). Even with the negatives I feel the game is definitely worth a shot. The creature design is quite impressive and the visuals are good for horror fans. If you’re a fan of Lovecraft, you need to give it a try and judge it for yourself. It’s easy to tell that Dragonis has a passionate love for horror with the visuals and overall creature design in this game.

Locomotion hits on all cylinders as a transportation business simulator. If you are not stuck on the other areas of city simulation, you are sure to be satisfied.

Adequate but lackluster.

I have a hard time recommending the game to the types of gamers who would find The Academy appealing from its description. Adventure gamers looking for a Harry Potter experience will be disappointed in how bland the world of The Academy is. Puzzle gamers will be disappointed in the overall quality and challenge of the puzzles. And Professor Layton fans, well, maybe The Academy will give them an even greater appreciation for how well-designed the Professor Layton games are.

If you’ve ever wanted to be a part of a collegiate sex comedy, now’s your chance. Just bring along your patience for the repetitive mini games and numerous load screens.

The fun in Dogfight 1942 never really takes flight.

The main reason to play NBA 08: The Life v3 is not to play a basketball game but to get involved with The Life. If you're wanting a good "basketball" game there are better options.

Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage is a really good example of what games based of an anime/manga should play like.

Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection doesn't score any flawless victories since it gets hit many times along the way with its flaws.

The real crisis here is the lack of enjoyable gameplay.

On Ippo's road to glory he stumbles upon a few pebbles, but overall his path to the top is a good one!

Crysis Remastered has issues like texture pop-ins and getting stuck under jetties. However, its graphical overhaul makes it like a flower with thorns - prickly but beautiful.

For an "untamed" game, MX vs. ATV Untamed just isn't all that interesting or fun to play.

A Van Halen track pack that's missing everything that made Guitar Hero Metallica a great band-focused Guitar Hero game

As much as I wanted to love Warlocks 2, the combat just is so sloppy, so clumsy and so - frankly - impossible that all the stuff the game does splendidly, it almost doesn't matter. Tons of characters, a funny story, great graphics and sound... none of it can escape the crushing weight of the just plain bad combat. QubicGames will forever have a soft spot in my heart, but this is definitely a misfire in their expansive catalogue. Skip this one; get Rekt instead.

Downhill Jam is not a bad game per se, it’s just that there’s not enough in here to make up for everything that’s been taken out of the normal Tony Hawk game.

Soltrio Solitaire can only really be recommended to those who really enjoy the card game and simply have to play it on their Xbox 360. For everyone else there’s just not enough here that’s different or exciting enough to warrant buying and downloading the game.

Alpha Prime does a great job of being average.

Friend or Foe’s single player is anything but a good time. You’ll be mashing buttons, setting up some cool looking but otherwise unimpressive combos and rolling your eyes through some of the most obvious boss fights since the NES days.

There are certainly worse budget titles out there, but if you tire of a game after less than an hour of play how much of a bargain is it?

It's enjoyable for a quest or two, but then it feels like an exercise in mindless repetition.

The most interesting thing about this title is its title.
