This entertaining update to the classic arcade game is fun while it lasts, which is under an hour.

A decent first effort at simulating the chosen sport of wizards, it falls short of its promise primarily because of sluggish controls and shallow gameplay.

It's not a bad game, but Silverfall's enormous potential and pretty graphics are overshadowed by its weak story, poor interface, and frustrating design elements.

Full Auto is a neat idea, but unfortunately it's just one neat idea, stretched across the entire game. And that wears thin pretty quickly.

Shipwreck Showdown improves upon Feeding Frenzy in almost every way, but it's still too easy and too short.

Phantasy Star Zero gives DS owners a taste of everything that made Phantasy Star Online great nine years ago--and also what makes it seem dated today.

With its numerous game modes and customization options, there's a lot to do in Dungeon Defenders. Too bad its fundamentals don't measure up.

Technical flaws mar, but don't totally destroy, this long and fascinating role-playing game.

The sleek, superficial action of After Burner Climax is thrilling in short bursts but not deep enough to last.

This short adventure game nails the feel of both the show and the island on which it's set, but struggles with some of the characters.

Zooming around with your jetpack can be a lot of fun, but routine shooter action and long flightless sections keep Dark Void from flying high.

Hiding amid an onslaught of tedious puzzles is some compelling dungeon-crawling action.

This gritty cover-based shooter is better than its predecessor, but as a package, it's light on content.

The End Is Nigh serves up light beat-'em-up fare with a Watchmen flavor. Those hungry for anything substantial will be disappointed.

Marvel TCG isn't too bad as far as digital trading-card games go, but it's unlikely to convert anyone not already invested in TCGs.

It's primarily a hack-and-slash game, but the combat tends to be unsatisfying, the production values seem dated, the difficulty is uneven and sometimes excessive, and the original alternate-history setting isn't enough to compensate.

This off-road racing game does a lot of things well, but the PS3 version looks so bad that it's tough to recommend.

An unusual take on survival horror with incredible water effects, Hydrophobia is ultimately let down by frustrating gameplay issues.

Unfortunately, like the cars that shuttle people around the island, this game is on rigid tracks and offers you no control over where it goes or how it gets there. You're just along for the ride.

A smattering of memorable moments keep Fallout: New Vegas' final add-on from getting stuck in a morass of redundant dialogue.

This flawed horror adventure gets the atmosphere right, though it isn't as sharp as it could have been.

Another Code R is a pleasing adventure with a good story, but slow pacing, frustrating motion puzzles, and overwrought dialogue spoil it.

This gritty cover-based shooter is better than its predecessor, but as a package, it's light on content.

It's not complicated or sexy, and, in fact, the N64 game isn't all that attractive or well designed. But it is possible to have fun with it. If you are a fan of the Pixar films, the game struggles to deliver the same experience in video-game format - largely due to the missing fmv cutscenes.

This gritty cover-based shooter is better than its predecessor, but as a package, it's light on content.

FIFA Street 3 has plenty of style but not quite enough substance to justify the price of admission.

Very middle-of-the-road in most aspects of its execution, and none of it is as fun or as inspired as the Hot Shots Golf games that Swingerz was obviously modeled after.

Offers a challenging and varied gameplay experience that will satisfy the amateur cryptographer in everyone. However, the game is brought down by subpar production values and a dialogue-heavy story that has a tendency to drag at times.
