    It's not dramatically different from Mario Party 6 or, frankly, any of the other Mario Party games, but as a cheery collection of simple pick-up-and-play minigames that's well suited for younger and more-casual players, it still works.

    Revelations is competent enough to remind you of what Resident Evil can be, even if it doesn't get under your skin the way the best games in the series do.

    While Namco Museum is fine for people who are looking for arcade classics, players who own most of these games in another format needn't bother adding this to their collection.

    Some players will surely find it all rather dull or frustrating. Still, this relaxed pace can be refreshing.

    Goblet of Fire is a decent game, but exploring the large levels becomes repetitive after a while, and it also fails to effectively leverage the strengths of the DS.

    Pilotwings Resort is fun while it lasts, but it fails to reach the same heights as its predecessors.
    • 70 Metascore

    Trial-and-error frustrations diminish the impact of this add-on's great characters and dialogue.

    Dungeon Siege III is a fun but unambitious dungeon crawler that fails to live up to the games that came before it.

    Roogoo Attack is harmless enough, but unlike the best puzzlers, it won't get under your skin.

    The EyePet's creative gameplay and varied content is marred by a lack of proper instruction and a short-lived experience.

    The AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack is a short but sweet experience that leaves you feeling like you didn't get a Whole Lotta Rosie.

    The well-realized license in this third-person shooter can hide the myriad problems for only so long.

    The Sims 2 loses something in translation from PC to consoles. Namely, its addictive, entertaining gameplay.

    Elements of Destruction won't hold your interest for long, but it will satisfy your craving for blowing stuff up.

    In terms of value alone, it's difficult to recommend Quake Wars. You'll love the giant sandbox filled with such distinct classes, high-tech weaponry, and attack vehicles. But when limited to only 16 players on just 12 maps, the gameplay is one-dimensional.

    When push comes to shove, the majority of people who are interested in what MySims has to offer should probably get Animal Crossing: Wild World instead.

    A fairly decent "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" clone, putting a different face on a familiar game.

    The only major flaw in Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is that the game is a touch on the easy side.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Besting this generic role-playing game's pushover difficulty and humdrum gameplay is no heroic task.

    Commando 3 is an all-too-brief shooter that delivers high-caliber fun in solo and cooperative bursts.

    BattleZone is fun for the couple of hours it takes to finish, but it's over too quickly.
    • 74 Metascore

    There are better, more fluid games out there for the serious fighter, and there are more accessible ones for those interested in a bit of silliness. In attempting to mix the two, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale merely ends up being competent at both and the master of neither.

    With little notable improvement to the formula and steps backward in several key areas, SmackDown! vs. RAW 2008 is a big disappointment.
    • 63 Metascore

    A game that could prove entertaining for fans of Nick Park's peculiar pair, but, as a 3D platformer, it's simply not that impressive. When you add the game's relatively short length (of around six hours) to the overall lack of polish, Project Zoo isn't a terribly attractive purchase, but it can make a decent rental.

    It plays fine, but other than some updated rosters, there's almost nothing new in NBA Live 08.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    There's more to do than ever in NBA 08, but outside of a few good minigames and the fun conquest mode, little of it is worthwhile.

    Q.U.B.E. may have some wonderfully clever puzzles, but without any sort of personality, it ends up feeling as boring as its whitewashed walls.

    Burdened by clumsy controls and predictable artificial intelligence, Tenkaichi 2 is a game that can be loved only by forgiving DBZ fans.
    • 59 Metascore

    The best of the Dynasty Warriors franchise struggles to compete with modern hack-and-slash games.
