    Bionicle Heroes
    The game also featured mind-numbingly simplistic and repetitive gameplay, as well as a dearth of worthwhile added content. Luckily, the Wii version has come along to deliver the coup de grace, effectively retaining all of the games vices while delivering a control scheme that would be obnoxious even if the camera controls weren't completely busted.

    Aedis Eclipse: Generation of Chaos
    The sequel to Generation of Chaos provides more of the same strategic gameplay without doing anything to correct the problems with the original.
    • 72 Metascore

    The Red Star
    Despite spending years on the shelf, The Red Star ably delivers a unique and challenging blend of beat-'em-up and top-down shooter action.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Th3 Plan
    Aside from being poorly conceived, Th3 Plan is made all the worse by its unintelligent artificial intelligence, unlikely scenarios, and rote, mundane gameplay.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    Made Man: Confessions of the Family Blood
    After a few hours with Made Man, you'll be begging for someone to put two in the back of your head.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Eureka Seven Vol. 2: The New Vision
    By evening out the presentation and focusing the story, New Vision transforms the Eureka Seven series from painful to playable.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    7 Wonders of the Ancient World
    A competent clone of a competent "Bejeweled" clone that does little to set itself apart.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Pokemon Diamond Version
    The additions and alterations aren't game changing, and Diamond and Pearl do what the Pokémon franchise has always done best--deliver an accessible and highly addictive role-playing game experience.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Pokemon Pearl Version
    The additions and alterations aren't game changing, and Diamond and Pearl do what the Pokémon franchise has always done best--deliver an accessible and highly addictive role-playing game experience.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Theatre of War
    Its tactical focus and total absence of resource gathering or base building make the learning curve a little twisty for tank-rush types. However, the authenticity and atmosphere bring the Second World War to life in impressive fashion.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 34 Critic Score
    Pocket Pool
    Not only does Pocket Pool miserably fail to deliver an enjoyable game of billiards, but its attempts at titillation are more depressing than anything else.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    3D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures
    3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures is a bit of fun when played with friends, but the single-player experience is lackluster thanks to slow pacing and erratic physics.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Gyruss
    Gyruss isn't exactly the most famous shooter in the world, but if you remember it--and remember liking it--you'll get enough out of it to justify the $5 purchase price.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Raiden III
    Enjoyable as it can be in spurts, Raiden III doesn't do anything unique to stand out from other modern shoot-'em-ups, and that it isn't priced at a flat-out budget rate is a bit disquieting.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 47 Critic Score
    Bust-A-Move Bash!
    Controls that fluctuate between touchy and unresponsive, a short list of gameplay modes, and a poorly realized multiplayer all conspire to bring down the already well-tread puzzle action in Bust-A-Move Bash!.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Valhalla Knights
    A deep character-creation system and sharp graphics are wasted on this dull, repetitive dungeon crawler.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    Tokyo Xtreme Racer DRIFT 2
    Tedious gameplay, poor vehicle handling, and an unfriendly interface are just a few reasons why you should leave this game in the bargain bin.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    Whirlwind Over Vietnam
    The novelty of the Vietnam War setting is just about all that Whirlwind Over Vietnam has going for it.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Mortal Kombat II
    If you want to play Mortal Kombat II over the Internet, then this is what you've been waiting to play.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Boom Boom Rocket
    The simplistic nature of Boom Boom Rocket makes it easy to pick up and enjoy in brief chunks, but it's also roughly like playing "Dance Dance Revolution" with the controller instead of a dance mat, which, unsurprisingly, isn't too much fun.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Brave: The Search for Spirit Dancer
    Brave finds some decent variety with its standard action adventure format, but it's neither a particularly challenging nor ambitious game.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Super Paper Mario
    Super Paper Mario's humorous story, accessible gameplay, inventive design, cool visual style, and impressive amount of content give it an undeniable charm. Anyone with a Wii should check it out.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Frontline: Fields of Thunder
    A new Blitzkrieg game in everything but its title, Frontline: Fields of Thunder is yet another cookie-cutter WWII RTS.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Cake Mania
    Unless your idea of fun is to stress yourself out by performing menial tasks, you'll want to pass on Cake Mania.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Luxor 2
    The Egyptian palette swap and minuscule formula changes aren't enough to prevent Luxor 2 from feeling like the inferior Zuma rip-off that it is.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Prince of Persia Rival Swords
    Rival Swords, then, is a great translation of "Two Thrones," and no doubt through some time-altering voodoo, Ubisoft has padded out the PSP package with some worthwhile additions, making this the most content-laden version of them all.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Guitar Hero II
    The Guitar Hero series makes a fantastic debut on the Xbox 360 in Guitar Hero II, adding a bunch of new content and even tweaking a few small things that weren't so great about the PS2 version.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Prince of Persia: Rival Swords
    Rival Swords is much the same game as "Two Thrones," which means it's still good, but it's nearly a year and a half late to the show.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Enchanted Arms
    Enchanted Arms is a capable and often enjoyable role-playing game, but it's also one that you'll likely forget as soon as you finish it.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales
    It might be squarely aimed at the younger crowd, but Chocobo Tales is highly charming and a great choice for players of all ages.
