    Stripped-down controls with little punishment for crashing make Wacky Races an extremely boring racer.

    Fast-paced shooting action and enjoyable multiplayer help the Space Invaders series celebrate its 30th anniversary in style.

    A very good example of how to update a classic game. The gameplay has been improved, and multiplayer adds a whole new dynamic to the experience. It's a shame that the PSP version of the game lacks online functionality.

    Arkanoid is as much fun today as it was 20 years ago, and the DS version is arguably the best yet.

    This disappointing strategy game isn't nearly as engaging as the Discovery Channel show it's based on.

    Clank's first outing as a secret agent is a funny and action-packed adventure that you'll want to play more than once.

    The charming art style and budget price aren't enough to keep this rigid fishing sim out of the depths of mediocrity.

    Etrian Odyssey II's brutality and grinding is initially off-putting, but push on and you're in for an intense, rewarding experiences.

    Insecticide can't decide whether it wants to be an adventure or a platformer, so it does neither particularly well.

    For anyone who appreciates games that rise above the simple act of pushing a few buttons and pulling a few triggers, Metal Gear Solid 4 is a stimulating ride that you won't soon forget.

    Blast Works lets you design the shooter of your dreams. The gameplay may be simple, but the editor more than makes up for it.

    Complicated and unresponsive controls combined with uninteresting gameplay and a disjointed story keeps Prizefighter down for the count.

    NASCAR 09 isn't a tremendous step forward for the series, but it's a solid effort.

    The small-screen version of The Incredible Hulk won't make you feel like the world's angriest superhero, but clever level design and tight controls make this the best Hulk game this year.

    Roogoo's visuals are cute and the concept is simple, but this fast-paced game of quick reflexes is surprisingly fun and challenging.

    Translating the lightning-quick close-quarters combat of the Bourne films into viscerally satisfying gameplay is no mean feat, but High Moon Studios has done it and done it well. The adventure is a bit short, and the solid gunplay becomes tedious the second time around. Still, the combat system alone makes this game worth playing, and the dramatic moments it creates are the real treat.
