Hanging 10 in this movie-licensed surfing game has its moments--just don't expect to enjoy it for very long.

Doesn't do much to set itself apart from the competition, and, additionally, it has some rather problematic flaws that deteriorate its gameplay to the level of subpar, at best.

The new expansion pack features some new zoo animals, new exhibit types, and the entire Dinosaur Digs expansion, but nothing else.

Even dinosaurs, ninjas, and Vikings can't really elevate this real-time strategy game above its generic roots.

A pretty standard hack-and-slash action game that doesn't deliver on much of the stumblingly bombastic charm of its title character.

Singles isn't nearly as racy as it sounds. It's also not as bad of a game as you might expect, though this is not to say that it's good.

While the temperamental Edward and his patient, tragically transmuted brother Alphonse bring some of the series' personality to the game, some awkward controls and the lack of any real challenge or longevity relegate this title to rental status at best.

With a fairly drab presentation and a subpar interface, Sudoku Gridmaster is a pretty weak package.

While it lacks originality and has rather bland graphics, Power Spike is still an entertaining, budget-priced volleyball game with a relatively small learning curve, which means it'll be easy for players of all skill levels to jump right in.

At World's End's slick visuals don't make up for the dull, repetitive combat and uninspired mission structure.

Despite the fancy name, Advanced Battlegrounds is simply a repackaging of the 2003 first-person shooter "Chrome." There's nothing notable or new here that we could detect, aside from the fact that it's now been patched to address some of the stability issues from the original release.

Hanging 10 in this movie-licensed surfing game has its moments--just don't expect to enjoy it for very long.

While there have certainly been worse Disney games in the past, this adaptation of Finding Nemo is just an average game with a few kinks that mar an otherwise decent experience.

A one-trick pony that boils down to the same basic maneuvers and slow-paced combat. It also horribly overlooks its license. You'll deal with Klingons and Romulans, but the dull story and unrecognizable characters could have been used in any generic intergalactic setting.

Those already committed to the games from Pogo.com on offer here might appreciate this portable package, though it still feels a little lean.

A great-looking game, though the gameplay can start to wear thin pretty quickly.

The game tries to deliver an authentic street racing experience, but the racing itself tends to be rather unexciting.

Sonic Team almost seems to be daring you to try and have fun with the PlayStation 2 version by making it significantly uglier, slower, and generally just rougher around the edges than the other two versions.

While the game's wrestling mechanics are sound, the game's overwrought method of titillation gets completely in the way of the action, and the game's campy-to-a-fault story mode is just plain terrible.

While it's better than the poor GameCube port of the original "Crazy Taxi," ultimately, the only saving grace Road Rage has is that it's a Simpsons game.

hat said, Legend is still a decent game with plenty of satisfying puzzles and expansive levels that look great and can be fun to explore. If you're looking for a straightforward action adventure and don't mind making some sacrifices for the sake of portability, Tomb Raider: Legend fits the bill.

Tactical Assault is not a typical strategy game, and the original design feels fresh when you first start playing. But it's also a one-trick pony, boiling down to the same basic maneuvers and slow-paced combat. It also horribly overlooks its license.

Unfortunately, holes in the core gameplay mechanics and the lack of a standard dynasty mode leave NBA 06 as more of a curiosity than a must-have for basketball fans.

It's an interesting concept, but it's ultimately a concept whose appeal will largely be based on your particular level of interest in McFarlane's designs--and on your ability to put up with some rather clunky gameplay and production values.

Kenji Eno has created one of the most engaging stories of all time and given it support in every way possible, except the one that matters most: gameplay.

Although it may look like a Call of Duty game, Call of Duty: Roads to Victory lacks many of the aspects that have made the console games so much fun.

It has a sense of immediacy typically missing from wargames. Unfortunately, this doesn't quite sustain what is otherwise a relatively limp adaptation of TalonSoft's wargaming engine.

A solid trip down memory lane for fans of the original NES game. But is that trip worth $20? Probably not. If Excitebike had been part of a larger compilation of NES classics, it would be much more welcome.
