Taken together, the three games included in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles make up a compelling package.

The Clash of Ninja games haven't been great, and Revolution isn't much more than a thin coat of paint on the same old game.

Slick gameplay and gorgeous visuals are among Ace Combat 6's many strengths.

Zack & Wiki is a delightful blend of the Wii's motion-sensing technology and challenging yet approachable puzzle design.

Mega Man ZX Advent walks a thin line between challenging and infuriatingly difficult, while bringing along a number of new tricks and improvements for the journey.

Trials and Tribulations is yet another enjoyable Phoenix Wright game--just don't expect anything new.

Buggy, broken, and entirely unoriginal, Dawn of Magic is one horrible action-oriented role-playing game.

The game just can't decide what it wants to be. The story tries to be epic in its scope and appeal to an older audience, but the game is extremely easy and the story's premise is thin and the ending disappointing.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary's success is twofold: It does well by the memory of the original and makes a dynamic action adventure game that's fun to play in 2007.

Castaway might just be one of the best iterations of The Sims 2 on consoles yet.

New aircraft, new missions, and new multiplayer racing modes make Acceleration a worthy addition for any Flight Simulation X fanatic.

The Asian Dynasties is a solid expansion that offers unique Asian civs and some other gameplay tweaks to Age of Empires III.

This arcade game is relatively shallow and a pale imitation of its television inspiration.

It's unlikely that many were begging for a Napoleon Dynamite-themed minigame collection, and those few who were will be disappointed by this shabby effort.

EA Playground puts forth a family-friendly assortment of games with a few absolute gems.

Unfortunate technical problems bring down what is otherwise the freshest new take on a console Sims game yet.
