Technical issues notwithstanding, the violently rewarding Age of Conan is one of the finest online RPGs available.

A seven-hour campaign and uneventful multiplayer modes just don't cut it in light of the far better modern shooters available on the market.

The presentation is top-notch, and the community features are neat, despite the hit-and-miss quality of the submissions. The amount of premium downloadable content available thus far is impressive as well.

Wii Fit will help you work up a sweat, but it's not as smooth and fun a workout as you'd probably like.

UEFA Euro 2008 plays a better game of football than anything else on the market, but only just.

This is a satisfying hardcore title to help launch the WiiWare service.

At 1,000 Wii points ($10), Critter Round-Up is a good choice for light puzzle action and wacky multiplayer fun.

Though Prince Caspian is not without its charms, the game never lives up to its potential and ends up being too boring and repetitive to live up to the exciting tale it's based on.

Whatever merit Myst had left has been blown away by a sloppy touch interface, poorly implemented new features, and overly compressed visuals.

As tempting as a game with both badminton and curling may be, there's no reason to recommend Deca Sports.

We Ski isn't a game that will satiate your need for high-speed thrills, over-the-top stunts, and fierce competition. Rather, it's a relatively sedate game in which you can have fun exploring, taking part in friendly contests, running errands for other skiers, and posing for photos.

This light "strategy" game is charming enough, but its gameplay is wildly unbalanced.

LostWinds is brimming with potential, but the result leaves a lot to be desired.

There's not much to Defend Your Castle, but it does have some entertainment value.

Though Pop can be fun in short bursts, it isn't worth 700 Wii points ($7).

The new levels are fun and addictive, and the gameplay is as hypnotic as ever. Just be ready to be challenged, because while it looks innocuous enough, Encore puts up a good fight.

It stumbles with certain game modes and its effort to appeal to kids with a poorly integrated story is ham-fisted at best, but Boom Blox is still a good game. Most of the hundreds of puzzles are fun to play alone, and it's also entertaining to taunt friends during their turn as they try to keep a tower from collapsing.

Everything Brain Voyage does has been done better by other logic and puzzle minigame collections.

Unless you're interested in overly fussy, old-fashioned RTS gaming, give Great War Nations: The Spartans a pass.

Iron Man's high-flying new adventure is hindered by erratic difficulty and repetitive level design.
