    Honestly, I don't know if you'll enjoy these original Ys games, but as an old school gamer that is still in love with the classics, I greatly appreciate being able to play them again. Your enjoyment will be limited by your ability to handle unforgiving combat and a red haired protagonist that has no voice.

    If you're not the type to shy away from enthusiastic Wii games, or loved any previous DDR games, then it's worth giving a shot.

    A good game that probably could have used some refinement in the way combat was handled and could have used a lot more common NPC interaction.

    The AI is relatively smart, Daniel's in-game help is most usually helpful (it's not always right on the money but there's some solid advice most times) and the ability to sync your PSP game with your PS2 game is a god-send for anyone that wants to continue to play their game on the go and vice-versa.

    This is a sad day for The King of Fighters. The combat is as taught as ever, but everything else is a comedic misinterpretation of “less is more.”

    Die hard fans of the show will enjoy it, however with no replay value whatsoever and an extremely short play time, there’s not much justification for buying it. Those that aren’t into the show’s scatological sense of humor, or those looking for a deep courtroom experience won’t find much here.

    As a whole Revenge of the Fallen is a solid package. Though the melee combat is practically counterproductive and the odd accidental transforms will nag at you here and there ultimately the game delivers an entertaining go of things.

    Despite its uneven difficulty, Fracture excels in innovating with its dynamic terrain deforming combat.

    With a strong, compelling narrative, 2 kind-hearted characters you want to root for and who have their own unique quests, and lots of places to explore, Anito will keep you occupied for a long time.

    Sound in the new game is pretty good but repetitive. It sounds like it always plays the same “explosion” .wav file over and over. Yawn. The original theme song is there but has been remastered.

    It's fine entertainment for an hour at a time, but there are too many niggling problems to keep playing for long.

    Overall it is a solid game, but nothing special. It will keep you entertained for a few hours, but after that you will move on to other games.

    In small doses Drakengard is quite fun. The best way to play it might be like the novel you read on the subway on the way to and from work. Read a little bit each day as you ride and you eventually get the whole story while being entertained during the mundane task of getting to work.

    The game needs a little more spit and polish before it can assume its proper place in the Pantheon.

    If you're a PC gamer that is a bit intimidated by IL-2 Sturmovik and are sick of playing H.A.W.X., then Heroes Over Europe might be worth a look. If you're expecting it to completely fulfill your air combat needs though, you'll be disappointed.

    There's enough new features, tweaks to the old systems and content to satisfy those folks still enamored with the world of Aranna.

    You'll like this game if you like: grainy, blocky, choppy, ugly football.

    The problem with niche titles is that they’re basically designed to serve a specific market. If you follow the MotoGP circuit, you will greatly enjoy emulating your favorite riders at breakneck speeds making daring maneuvers at tracks all around the world. If you’re just a casual racing fan or motorcycle fan, you won’t find enough variety to keep you interested.

    It’s just boring and redundant. It’s worth a rental, especially if you enjoyed the big-screen or comic book incarnations of the franchise, but even a guest appearance by Angie herself wouldn’t make this worth full price.

    The good news is that the developers of the respective franchises are trying to regain the glory they once held. The bad news is there’s still a long way to go, especially for our purple dragon friend.

    Greater variety in ship types and missions would be nice. A greater sense of threat and better damage modeling (especially rips below the waterline or actual sinking instead of simply stopping) would help a lot.

    The camera causes a bit of frustration and takes away a lot of the strategy elements that could have been in this game if it had allowed the player to see the entire room as it was entered, but overall the game is fun and should be given a serious look by fans of science-fiction themed action RPGs.

    Hardcore Matrix fans will definitely love this game and find it everything they expected. For everyone else, ETM won't be anything more than an average game that seems too similar to many other titles already out there.

    While the gameplay is refreshingly unique (albeit confusing at first), the game itself is terribly short.

    It's not WWE and it's not NWA but it's the people who made those franchises possible. Though I wish Ric Flair was in here so we could have some of the bloody cage matches of yore.

    Any FPS fan should have an easy time enjoying this game – just don’t expect spit-polished perfection.

    Foto Frenzy is not a bad game, it's just a sometimes frustrating version of a puzzle genre that I've never had strong feelings for but if you can pick out the details on a fly's wing from thirty yards out or love the frantic pace of timed sliding box puzzles then there's a good amount of game here for your twenty bucks.

    Sadly, off-the-wall and new does not always mean a good gaming experience. Trying to juggle all the diverse elements of Odama with shoddy speech recognition ultimately makes for a game that is not likely to see much time spinning in the Cube.

    Perhaps this genre has simply run its course, but Silverfall proves the old adage: no one out Diablos "Diablo."

    Remember when Blitz and NBA Jam ruled supreme, and we all got our first taste of the notorious Midway Comeback AI? I’m sad to say that a close relative of that AI seems to be present here.
