    You'll give up on this side scrolling racer well before its two hour finish line.

    Forza 2 delivers on nearly every aspect you'd want in a Forza sequel. It drives incredibly, it's wonderfully presented, and it's rich with modes and features.

    This multiplayer-only shooter does absolutely nothing with the Shadowrun name, and its unique strengths are offset by a lack of variety.

    There are some good minigames in Mario Party 8, but the overly familiar, chance-heavy board game wrapper gets in their way.

    It's got plenty of cute Tamagotchis, but it's short on depth and is seriously lacking in the fun department.

    Crush is a one-of-a-kind action puzzle game, and its unique concept makes for a refreshing and bizarre experience.

    Atelier Iris 3 is a by-the-numbers role-playing game that exudes a lot of charm but little else.

    • 75 Critic Score
    A good entry point to the series, but if you've played any recent Mortal Kombat game, you'll notice that most of this stuff has been recycled.

    Whether you're a fan of the cartoon or a fan of fighting games, Legend of the Dragon is a total disappointment.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    An over-priced arcade port with some neat ideas that don't translate into satisfying gameplay.

    If Indy had encountered nonsense like this during one of his escapades, he'd have let the Nazis win. Secrets of Atlantis is best left in a watery grave.

    Superb handwriting recognition and other nifty features make a strong argument for ditching traditional paper crosswords in favor of ones on handhelds like the Nintendo DS.

    A decent driving model is spoiled by uninspired, unbalanced features in this budget street racing game.

    While the game isn't horrific looking, and there is a lot of shooting going on, all you do is stalk through linear levels sniping everything that moves. Retro shooter fans might enjoy this monotonous killing for an hour or so, then look for the uninstall icon.

    Infuriating controls and frustrating platforming sections are among Dawn of Mana's many shortcomings.

    Like the other SOE releases, Joust is mostly accurate, but it also offers the same ugly interface and poor online gameplay that's plagued most of the other classic rereleases on the PlayStation 3.

    Diner Dash is a challenging game that will keep you on your toes from start to finish, but it's too simple to keep you coming back.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Through thick and thin, Xevious has always stood out when compared to other arcade games from its era, and it's nice to have another accurate emulation of this classic out there.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    Rush 'n Attack can be fun for a few minutes, but the enjoyment quickly fades.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    The severe shortage of things to do and an embarrassing lack of insight keep Brooktown High from being a fun or interesting look at high school life.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    Imprecise controls, shoddy level design, and bland characters spell doom for Death Jr.'s latest adventure.

    Marvel TCG isn't too bad as far as digital trading-card games go, but it's unlikely to convert anyone not already invested in TCGs.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A shallow fighting game with a lame single-player mode but an awesome multiplayer mode.

    Despite serious performance issues, Odin Sphere successfully brings together gorgeous, stylized visuals and satisfying gameplay in a lengthy and engaging adventure.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    At World's End isn't a bad game, but its dull, repetitive combat and uninspired mission structure prevent it from being much fun.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    At World's End's slick visuals don't make up for the dull, repetitive combat and uninspired mission structure.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The dull, repetitive combat and uninspired mission structure prevent At World's End from being much fun.
