'll summarize this way: If you're a Harry Potter geek then this is a must have. If you're just a gaming geek then you may want to pass.

Band of Bugs is not a bad game in and of itself, but its appeal is limited by its simplicity.

There’s no disguising the fact that this is a tedious and frustrating game.

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.

Apparently the life of giant robot is pretty repetitive.

The biggest bomb in B-17: Fortress in the Sky is the game itself.

A good update of a classic game, but you’ll only enjoy it if you enjoy classic gameplay.

Pac-Man purists may balk at this new edition of the game, but CE can be a lot of fun for anyone who enjoys fast-paced arcade action now and again.

The card battling system never gives the player the feeling of being in control. Instead, most battles feel completely random and no amount of card handling skill can deal with a terrible hand when fighting some of the more powerful opponents.

I expected more of Halo 2 on Vista, and I suspect that you’ll feel the same way too.

Mad Tracks is pretty short on gameplay, which is probably a good thing since the gameplay that is there isn’t very exciting.

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

Legend of the Dragon is a quick thrown together cash-in on the TV series. The combat is easily forgettable as is everything else really. Stay clear of it as much as possible, even a rental is not worth it.

If you don’t mind the fact that the game costs more than a book of crossword puzzles that you can pick up at a newsstand, you’ll find yourself enjoying this electronic version of the New York Times’ signature puzzle.

There’s not enough gameplay and too much repetition in this high school game … perhaps in that way it’s too much like the real thing.

Who would have thought that purging a demonic school of evil by taking control of Death’s son would be so bland, tedious, and frustrating?

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.

Freestyle Street Basketball is for those who enjoy outspending their opponents to buy the coolest gear and not so much for gamers just looking for a fun street hoops game.

Shrek the Third is best left to diehard Shrek fans or 360 gamers looking to pad their Gamer Scores.

If you’re on a Shrek high after seeing the movie, by all means go ahead and rent this game. Before your rental is due back you’ll probably have had your fill with it.

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.

ArmA is probably “too real”, and too frustrating, for most FPS gamers.

Spider-Man 3 certainly has its enjoyable moments, but camera issues and repetitive combat keep it from reaching its full potential.

Spider-Man 3 certainly has its enjoyable moments, but camera issues and repetitive combat keep it from reaching its full potential.

There’s not enough variety here to keep anyone but the most ardent Spider-Man fans going all the way to the end of the game.

Catan introduces videogamers to a classic strategy game that board gamers have enjoyed for quite some time.

Alpha Prime does a great job of being average.

I can’t help but feel that the past couple of episodes could have used just a little more of that certain something to reach the next level. There’s plenty of momentum here though to leave me eagerly anticipating Season Two.
