    Though a lot of players will find the less-forgiving-gameplay style of the game to be a bit of a turnoff, this is still a solid game of tennis, and it's the best one to have appeared on the PlayStation 2 in years.

    Though brief, The Simpsons Game on the DS satisfies from start to finish.

    Offers a surprisingly good personal training program but does make hearty demands of your lighting and space requirements.

    The main character of this cleverly designed game gets to swing around using his tongue and inhale grubs and other bugs, but it's a whole lot more pleasant than that.

    Asphalt: Urban GT 2 is a fun and visually impressive arcade-style racer, even if it is just an evolutionary upgrade of the original game.

    The MK and DC crowds are a surprisingly good combo, but questionable roster balancing keeps this enjoyable fighter from achieving greatness.

    Its barrage of online and offline skirmishes doesn't always hit its mark. But when it finds its target, Company of Heroes 2 delivers a loud and mighty payload.

    The rerelease of this classic brawler will gladly take you for a ride, but the trip isn't without its share of potholes.

    Nowhere near as pretty or diverse as the original 1996 PC game, but it's easily the best FPS to hit the GBA since "Doom."

    If the heavy focus on trial and error doesn't rattle you, Stuntman: Ignition can be some explosive fun.

    Prey's campaign won't take too long, and it's rarely difficult, which makes it a solid choice if you're looking for an easy weekend romp. But much of the game's potential for unique thrills feels wasted by its straightforward level design, and the multiplayer doesn't add much to the package.

    ShootMania Storm's sleek action is an invigorating return to the days of speedy, purely skill-based shooters.

    Hoard is a simple but addictive multiplayer strategy experience that's unfortunately singed by a few design choices.

    Though it's a fairly rote platformer with some coloring-book underpinnings, Drawn to Life's drawing mechanic is undeniably unique.

    Attention to battlefield detail and smart AI make XIII Century a serious real-time tactical challenge.

    It may be about garbage, but Trash Panic is not rubbish: It's an innovative puzzler that rewards patience, planning, and those looking for a healthy challenge.

    This gritty and profane detective tale winds down to a sound conclusion.

    It's got some flaws and it's not very long or replayable--you'll probably finish it in 12 to 15 hours, without much incentive to go back to the beginning--but it's fun while it lasts.

    It's got new goalie controls and marginally improved graphics, but taken as a whole, NHL 2K6 just isn't as appealing on the 360 as it was on other platforms.

    Orc: Vengeance is an engrossing dungeon-crawler wrapped up in some beautifully detailed visuals.

    The definition of a sleeper -- a marvelous little racer that deserves a little more limelight than it has received so far. In truth, the game excels on all fronts, providing a deep sim-based RC experience, with an intuitive control scheme accessible enough for anyone to pick up.

    Despite some frustrations, Red Steel 2's stylish blend of shooting with swordfighting is frequently exciting and makes good use of motion controls.
