    God Hand's pure focus on ridiculous martial arts brawls makes this simple action game fun and challenging. Bonus points for the wild sense of humor and surf rock soundtrack.

    Avatar: The Last Airbender had the potential to be an enjoyable game for both children and adults but most of that potential went untapped, and the extremely repetitive and tedious gameplay isn't likely to appeal to either audience.

    Avatar on the PSP is a solid hack-and-slash that will likely appeal to fans of the show as well as anyone that has enjoyed similar games in the past.

    The Avatar's DS debut serves up an engaging story and some slick 3D visuals, but it's otherwise just another mediocre brawler.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 39 Critic Score
    The game is too short, the combat is way too repetitive, and the graphics and audio are years behind the curve.

    Although it doesn't break any new ground, the Avatar's foray on the GBA is a lively action adventure that offers a solid mix of combat and puzzles.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The title may say that this is a new beginning, but Spyro's latest adventure isn't much more than a collection of tired, overused platforming clichés.

    The umpteenth Mortal Kombat game bombards you with characters and modes but does little to bring the underlying one-on-one fighting action to the next level.

    This terrific update to one of the best sci-fi real-time strategy games in years packs in a great strategic campaign and a grand total of seven different interesting, powerful armies.

    Once you get over the whole rewriting-the-end-of-the-movie thing, Scarface: The World Is Yours is a competent but usually uninteresting action game.

    Stacked presents itself as a typical game of poker, but thanks to an intriguing artificial intelligence system, it plays things much smarter than your average poker title.

    Desperate Housewives isn't much of a game, but it does a pretty good job of telling an original, interactive soap opera story in the quirky tone of the hit show.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 43 Critic Score
    An absolute mess, crippled by a terrible control scheme and frustrating missions that wear on seemingly forever. And even with six editions of the series supplying the narrative, it's a waste of a great license, offering very little to anyone looking for a franchise fix.

    If you already have the camera, you might as well download TotemBall. But don't expect to get much enjoyment out of it.

    One of the games included with Bubble Bobble Revolution is a genuine classic. The other is so plagued with glitches that it can't even be finished.

    There's no shortage of things to do in Gangs of London--the trouble is that none of it is much fun.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The graphics, audio, and overall gameplay still come across as decidedly old school, but this touch-centric platformer does at least manage to revive a classic in a way that some people should find interesting.

    By scaling back the difficulty a smidge and coloring up the presentation, Mercury Meltdown provides an even better puzzle game experience than its predecessor.

    FIFA 07 plays a fast-paced and realistic game of soccer and boasts plenty of gameplay options for solo and social players alike.
    • 78 Metascore

    Not all of the changes that have been implemented since last year's game have been for the better, but there are more than enough improvements here to make FIFA 07 worth a look.

    The things Tournament of Champions does well aren't quite enough to make it stand out from the many, many other poker games available.

    NHL 2K7 for the PlayStation 2 lacks much of the forward progress of its Xbox 360 counterpart and instead provides an enjoyable hockey game that you've pretty much played before.

    Though it gets the show's style of humor down pat, Family Guy is derailed by frustrating and uninteresting gameplay.

    NRA Gun Club's awful gameplay and presentation make it an effective though unintended antigun message: Guns are boring.

    Harlem Globetrotters: World Tour is a sloppy two-on-two basketball game that includes Globetrotters players but none of their signature shots or antics.

    It's fast-paced, it's gritty, and it's got style to spare, but El Matador is also one of the most infuriatingly unbalanced shooters in years.

    Brutal difficulty makes Silent Heroes suitable solely for the squad-based real-time strategy experts.

    It's an expansive and challenging sequel to one of the best racing games of last year and, at its price, it remains one of the best bargains of the year for the PC.

    Though not a complex strategy game, Defcon's specific sense of style makes for a compelling and unsettling experience.

    Don't be fooled by the dated graphics. Dominions 3 is a complex, deep, and incredibly rich strategy game that will reward those willing to invest in it with an almost unlimited variety of play.

    If you can look past the dated presentation you'll find a suprisingly fun, fast-paced game of paintball in Max'd.

    Despite the title, there's nothing bold about this boring, vanilla racing game.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    It feels like one of those uninspired also-rans cribbed from "The Fast and the Furious" in the first place. It's not an entirely bad street racer, but it does nothing new, and it makes pretty lousy use of the license.

    • 84 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Sure, there are oodles of new animations and gameplay options, but many key issues went untouched. It's still a great choice for anyone who likes a realistic pace to their NBA video games, but it's not the defining basketball simulation that many were hoping for.

    Okami's stunning good looks give it the appearance of a cross between a cartoon and a traditional Japanese ink-and-watercolor painting, and perhaps best of all, the game keeps going and going for much longer than most other games like it.
