    The 3rd Birthday
    Is Aya Brea's third adventure worth it? If you like shooters and past Parasite Eve titles, probably. If you want a Square Enix title with a more RPG slant, then steer clear. I had fun with the game beginning to end, but I have a sneaking suspicion I could be one of the few that will.

    All-Pro Football 2K8
    It's nice to see that Madden has competition again, but this just isn't the year where All-Pro challenges seriously.

    Pinball FX
    Pinball FX does a good enough job of recreating the game of pinball to warrant a look by fans of the silver ball who wouldn't mind occasionally saving themselves from a trip to their local bowling alley.

    Perimeter
    If you’re new to strategy gaming you probably don’t want to use Perimeter as an introduction to the genre. The interface and AI issues may leave you bewildered and overwhelmed.

    Hand of Fate
    Intriguing game dealt a bad blow by underwhelming action gameplay.

    Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
    Like this review, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is very short. Like VERY short. I finished the whole thing, beginning to end, in an afternoon and there is little replay value, aside from just playing the levels you enjoy over and over.

    Rugby 08
    Rugby 08 is enjoyable enough to warrant a rental by those curious about the sport, but only serious followers of the sport will find it holding their attention for longer.

    Dragon Age: Origins
    If games were rated on story alone Dragon Age: Origins would sit at the top of the scale, but you simply can't ignore the gameplay issues.

    Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z
    At its core it's a bizarre but ultimately satisfying game.

    Grandia II
    Those who prefer their RPGs to be the more serious experience typical of PC games might be better off passing on it.

    Apache: Air Assault
    Passable as a helicopter simulation or arcade romp, but doesn't attempt to do much more. But as a rare flying game you may have a craving for this kind of game.

    K-1 World Grand Prix
    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.

    Vexx
    Whether or not you'll enjoy the experience will depend on your patience level with the game's control and camera.

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2
    Ultimate Alliance 2 is not a bad game. It misses some opportunities to capitalize on its great story and wealth of character interactions; it didn't receive the presentation update that next gen gamers expected; and it doesn't make much effort in pushing the dungeon crawling action RPG genre forward.

    Section 8
    It isn't the best, most popular or prettiest FPS, but if you're sick of all the others, you could do a lot worse.
    • 75 Metascore

    Evil Genius
    It has its enjoyable moments and trap design can be a lot of fun, but overall the game’s pacing and interface issues can make world domination a test of patience.

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

    Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps
    Better multiplayer support along with the ability to create quick matches by including AI opponents would have gone a long way to extending the replay value of the title and the game’s overall enjoyment.

    Wings
    Its arcade style dogfights provide enjoyment, but the whole thing may begin to get repetitive after a while.

    Jackass the Game
    While it is leaps and bounds better than I thought it would be, Jackass: The Game is only a solid rental.

    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal
    As this is a classic adventure game, the story is a big part of the experience. As such, the pace will probably feel somewhat slow to those who've never played this type of game before. I wouldn't put the story on par with that of the original Monkey Island, but it's certainly better than average.

    Runbow
    Despite some weak single-player filler, Runbow's player base deserves a new lease of life. With its delightfully flamboyant art style and randomized maps, the game can provide a firm package with its local multiplayer mayhem. Picking your favorite indie hero and fighting for victory in 4-player local tournaments is a genuinely good time. Overall, Runbow is a quirky amalgamation of brawling, platforming, and racing that should aid your search for quality couch competition.

    Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers
    It's not for everyone, but if you're intrigued by the tactical side of combat Ten Hammers is worth your time.

    Vietcong (2003)
    Vietcong can provide some tense and enjoyable gameplay, but also serves up some very frustrating levels that will try the patience of many gamers. With a bit more polish and consistent level design Vietcong would be a really good game.

    Polar Panic
    Its presentation is rather basic and the controls can be a little imprecise on occasion, but overall it does what it's advertised to do well enough.

    NBA ShootOut 2003
    Probably the biggest knock against NBA ShootOut 2003 (if you ignore the complaints of defense purists) is the graphics. The player models and faces are a bit rough, and it can be hard at times to see the resemblance of marquee players to their real-life counterparts.

    Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude
    A skewed, funny, and at times hilarious look at the campus mating game. Unfortunately, just like the mating game it's not without its frustrating moments.
    • 79 Metascore

    Midnight Club: LA Remix
    Midnight Club: LA Remix is geared more towards tuners than casual gamers.

    Evilot
    Evilot is enjoyable enough for those who like lane defense games, but the potentially confusing upgrade mechanic will be a turn off for those who just play an occasional game of Plants vs. Zombies.

    Sea of Solitude
    Sea of Solitude certainly has a unique look and feel to it, but the novelty alone is not enough to carry the game. Your enjoyment of it will come down to how much you connect to Kay and her story because the gameplay alone will not be enough to compel you to play until the end. Even if you're just in it for the story, there are times when that story will also feel like a slog, especially when you face the monsters that represent Kay's endlessly bickering parents. The game is certainly an unusual experience, but it will probably leave you wishing that it was a more compelling one.
