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.
