    RAGE
    There's a lot to like about Rage, but for every good thing it does there's something equally annoying or dated, leading to a very uneven experience. Adroit fans of the first person shooter will still enjoy themselves, especially after the first couple of yawn-inducing hours pass and things really start hotting up, but it's not quite the masterpiece we know id were once capable of.

    Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution
    Fans will eat this game up, obviously, and everyone else will find it to be enjoyable if not terribly involving.

    Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone
    A good game, but nothing more. It's a shame because it had the potential to be great.

    Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
    During its best moments, it's certainly one of the most exciting and engrossing games I've played in a long time. It's just unfortunate that the apparent cut corners take the wind out of its sails sometimes.

    Pursuit Force
    More than a gimmick but less than a broad, full-featured experience, Pursuit Force might not be deep or addicting enough to become an actual pursuit, but the satisfying arcade-style gameplay and high marks across the board for audiovisuals make it a great distraction or diversion.

    The Sims 2
    There's still something addictive about this game once you get past the initially slow start. There are dozens and dozens of things to unlock, and charting your progress through the title really sucks you in.

    Jade Cocoon 2
    Both the weak storyline and repetitive dungeons become tedium personified before you know it.

    Black & White 2
    Unfortunately, in the process of fixing the game, they ended up stripping much of what made the first game so endearing by allowing the numbers to take precedence over the personality. What Black & White 2 gained in competence; it seems to have lost in soul.

    Shaun White Snowboarding
    While the singleplayer campaign doesn't give gamers many reasons to stay engaged, we can envision a large online community racing, tricking and wagering while snowballs fly through the air. Because really, isn't that what snowboarding is all about?

    MySims
    MySims is probably more of a game to be enjoyed alone: it doesn't offer a great depth, but its cheerful spirit and light-hearted action are well worth checking out.

    Silent Hill: Homecoming
    Silent Hill: Homecoming is a very strange game, as its dual nature and oddly unsatisfying gameplay could likely turn both fans and newcomers away.

    NBA Live 2005
    Improved graphics, a deeper dynasty mode, and an All-Star weekend simulator that's genuinely fun to play.

    Joint Operations: Escalation
    In fact, one of the worst things you can say about an expansion pack is true of Escalation: it feels optional.

    Colosseum: Road to Freedom
    I like the RPG elements and the ways Koei gets the most out of an interesting-but-modest engine.

    Thrillville: Off the Rails
    If you can put up with some repetition and the simplicity of the management system, you'll enjoy yourself. Most of the mini-games are quite a bit of fun, too, and they make for some good multiplayer sessions.

    The Movies: Stunts & Effects
    If you're into The Movies for the strategy sim, there's nothing noteworthy added in Stunts & Effects. But if you enjoyed building your own films, the freecam and the improved prop placement options alone are worth the price, while the props, sets, costumes, and effects merely add to the moviemaking experience.

    AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack
    There are some great AC/DC tracks here which would make a fantastic addition to any Rock Band collection, but you'll have to pay a premium to get them, including a lot of songs you're probably not interested in. Unless you're an absolute AC/DC fanatic, you're probably better served waiting to pick this up on sale sometime down the road.

    Clusterball
    Clusterball is fun in spurts, but the control and the physics keep it from being as addictive as it potentially could be.

    Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
    Fast-paced action and a great presentation are hampered only by the steep learning curve for what should be a simple point-and-shoot experience.

    Dungeon Siege III
    Trite as it is and pointless as Obsidian's slavish adherence to some of the old standby systems (like loot and leveling) seems, I genuinely hope it gets another crack at Dungeon Siege. The series has never been particularly memorable, but at least under Obsidian's guidance, it's mostly fun.

    Out of the Park Baseball Manager 2006
    A game in waiting. It's certainly playable right now and has some fun despite its issues. Still, you can see how this could end up one of the best baseball game ever made... if it ever gets finished.

    NBA Live 08
    NBA Live 08 isn't a whole lot different from last year's offering, but the subtle changes that were implemented -- the addition of Hot Spots and the bouncing of Freestyle Superstar and X-Factor -- make things on the court a lot more fun.

    Electroplankton
    Unfortunately, unless you're extremely into music making, your fun will run out before too long. The inability to save anything really hurts as well.

    Cars
    The best thing that can be said about Cars is that it lays down solid racing gameplay without feeling generic.

    Rally Championship
    Scores with a handful of options and hardcore appeal, but needs more punch.

    Sonic Rush
    The designers did attempt to break up the simplistic game play a bit by forcing Sonic and Blaze to stop and fight a handful of mechanical terrors every once in a while, but it doesn't really add much to the overall game.

    Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day
    Extra goodies aside, Flash Focus doesn't fall far from the Brain Age tree, so anyone who gets a kick out of using their DS to put their bodies and minds to the test will enjoy this.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All
    You'll easily clear all four cases in a weekend play session, but the suspend-anywhere save system allows you to easily play it in bits and pieces during commutes, on lunch breaks or while waiting for the previews to finish at your local theater.

    Sam & Max Episode 103: The Mole, the Mob and the Meatball
    While the script is the best so far of any of the episodes, Episode 3's abbreviated length makes it less of a bargain than the earlier installments. That being said, the entire Sam & Max experiment is shaping up quite well.
