Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is a racer that comes up just short of being respectable.

The Blue Blur and his friends come together for another racing game and the result plays out rather well and brings along new gravity moves available to each character but Zero Gravity is not without its problems.

While it is a solid puzzle game it doesn't really do anything to excel or stand out in a cluttered genre.

There's some addicting gameplay to be found in Squad Command, particularly for Warhammer 40,000 fans, but you've got to be willing to put up with the game's flaws and annoyances.

MX vs. ATV Untamed is a lot like a long race on an oval track - it's fun for a bit but then grows steadily more repetitive.

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.

There are some solid modes here but the graphics and gameplay don't support the experience enough for it to matter.

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

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

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

GripShift includes a decent amount of gameplay for an Xbox Live Arcade title, but it just isn't compelling enough to motivate you to play through the entire game.

Overall Universe at War can be a lot of fun for strategy fans. However, some annoyances and the lack of any real innovation may be enough to turn off the more casual player or those who are burned out on the standard strategy game paradigm.

Exercise your brain by thinking of creative ways to avoid this game.

The game is so bad it actually makes me angry.

PAIN feels more like a demo than a full game and it will hold your interest about as long as a demo would.

I suppose that if you have strong nostalgic feel for Speedball then the game may hold a certain appeal to you, but be forewarned that Speedball 2 - Tournament may tarnish some of your cherished memories of the game.

Arcade shooter meets online first-person shooter and the results can be pretty enjoyable.

All in all, Mass Effect is every bit a great as we were promised. The story is fantastic, the graphics are unbelievable, sound is fairly good and the music is wonderful, but weird difficulty changes, ridiculous length and a failed ‘run and gun’ battle system keep Mass Effect from its almost perfect score.

Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash for the Nintendo DS is a disgrace and literally no one should buy or even think about this game.

All in all Rock Band is thoroughly enjoyable experience and could easily become one of the top party games of 2008

It's funny for a minute or two, but still… thirty bucks is a lot for three levels and a few giggles.

Medal of Honor: Airborne is an example that shows even genres that seem to have overstayed their welcome can produce a fun game.

It's not quite the thunderous dunk that you would hope it would be, but College Hoops 2K8 manages to lay it up and in.

The Zapper might have its problems and Link's Crossbow Training might be one of the shortest games in history, but for only $20, it fairly fun.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is a very solid game and Naughty Dog has really worked a bunch on this one during its development.

It is formulaic, simple and not too lengthy, but it does the job for its target audience and there are hundreds of kid's games out there that are much, much worse.

Need for Speed has gone legit, and in doing so has lost most of its excitement.

This game is essentially a bargain bin Xbox game and it is insulting to see it with a regular Xbox 360 game price tag.
