The biggest problem with this game is that it has no sort of multiplayer capability, otherwise Pursuit Force is a heck of a good time to play; hard, but fun.

The excellent graphics, good controls and great sound effects also add up to a great game. But all is not perfect, the difficulty and the occasional AI misstep might put off some gamers.

Soul Bubbles is a grand action/puzzler for serious gamers. That doesn’t necessarily mean hardcore gamers, but for those who are serious about gaming, appreciate daring concepts, and aren’t afraid to try new things.

You want a superb soundtrack - you got it. You want a good-looking, stunt-driving, high-flying motocross outing - you got that too.

All the hard work put in to leveling your characters truly pays off with the challenge of this title. To put it simply, if you are a fan of Neverwinter Nights, you will want this expansion.

Like "NBA Street," the gameplay is easy enough to be pick-up-and-play friendly but deep enough to stay entertaining for weeks.

I simply can’t give this game as high a score as I did last year (9.3) because not much has changed. While I still think this game is superior to "MVP Baseball," it’s purely because of gameplay.

Fun, engaging, and has a high replay value. It has been a while since I played a mech game that had me saying “just one more level!” until well past midnight.

The improvements do not make for an altogether new game but what is offered here definitely adds to the enjoyment of a truly spectacular motorcycle racing series.

Ghostbusters fans will finally get a game worth looking at. It did take a while, but it is finally here. If you aren’t a fan of Ghostbusters, don’t worry. This title will be considered one of the better games for the Nintendo Wii, and anyone will have fun busting ghosts once again.

Yes there are some rough spots that make the student life seem like work and yes its not easy surviving each semester but overall this is a refreshing way to build up your teen Sims into the resourceful adult Sims that will make up your neighborhood in the core game.

I really enjoyed the create-a-chant option and Team Unity adds to the simulation experience by measuring how the team works together. It has the most solid gameplay system I have ever experienced in a basketball game.

Multiplayer play is uninspired, but still entertaining because while the traditional multiplayer elements are lacking, the fact remains that you're playing in a creative universe, with characters you're familiar with and with "authentic" weapons and settings that come straight out of the television show.

The result is a next generation soccer game that is enjoyable to play and more importantly, an accurate simulation of how the game is actually played by the pros.

The fact that you are no longer limited to two-minute runs coupled with the ability to land vert-tricks on flat ground make THPS4 a game that must be experienced for Hawk fans.

One of the most in depth strategy games I have ever played. There is so much to do in this game it is baffling, no matter what your WWII fantasy scenario might be you can just about live it out while playing this game.

Quite simply, a good action game with some great scares.

I never thought I’d say this but, this Simpsons game irrefutably, undeniably, and without question will rock your socks off.

Little tweaks in the AI here and there sometimes leave something to be desired (it’s easy to march on down the field until you get near the goal box – then it’s almost impossible) but overall the game is spot on.

Gameplay is entertaining and amusing (Chewie is hilarious), the music comes straight from the movies, and the visuals deliver the coolest and most unique eye candy seen since the first LEGO Star Wars game.

The game looks good, and still plays well. The game does not substantially send the franchise forward with innovations, but rather adds to what is already there.

The PS2 games have slowly been amping up the experience with minute additions over the years, but this Xbox DDR considerably kicks it up a notch, like so much Iron Chef.

The expansion adds more depth to the gameplay, and should be well received by those who have played and enjoyed the original game.

Dead Space: Extraction is simply a must-play for any Wii owner over the age of 18 as you won’t find a more immersive, blood-chilling action adventure title anywhere else this fall.

Like a sponge that absorbs hours of your time, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom will keep young gamers very occupied. By kids' standards I'm "old," but that didn't stop me from loving this game.

We're talking levitating enemies and sending them flying across the room or setting things (and people) aflame--how is that not fun?

From rock to pop to the genres in between, Karaoke Revolution Party has got it covered.

Despite the less impressive game modes added to Madden 07, Lead Blocker and the Highlight Stick greatly improves on the ground game. I was more inclined to attempt a 5-yard run than a 20-yard pass!

The only thing that is puzzling about the entire expansion is that it feels like this should have been included with the original game. The U-DRIVE-IT feature is one of the best things included with this expansion.

Wario Ware, Inc: Mega Party Game$ has offered some of the most fun 4-player gaming I have ever had.

Boasting two faithfully reproduced arcade classics, Final Fight: Double Impact is a fantastic value and a must-buy for fans of old-school arcade fans.

The control is great and unique, the modes are plentiful, and the multiplayer mode is a lot of fun.

It's still longer than the first game, and is better and more exciting than most of the other racers out there.

Satisfying survival/horror gameplay with a first/third-person shooter twist. Ties That Bind has one of the most disturbing storylines I have ever seen in a game.

A glance back and a look forward in a PS2 title that does not advance the series but maintains the momentum.

Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny for the PSP is an impressive portable fighting game that is just as amazing and just as addictive as the console games. On the single-player front, we wish there was more but there’s enough here to keep fans more than happy.

Despite its few issues, The Lost Frontier is yet another gratifying Jak and Daxter game that feels right at home on the PSP. While we could have done without the Dark Daxter moments in the game, flying the unfriendly skies and exploring the impressive Lost Frontier is more than enough reason to pick this one up right away.

The storyline is really showing its age and aside from new some new features to make the game a bit more convenient (as in more storage space), this is a case of second verse same as the first.

The game is never too vulgar to be offensive or distracting since the volleyball matches are downright addictive and nicely done.

The action is always high tense, and extremely enjoyable.

NEW Super Mario Bros. Wii is surely a classic – it just isn't as big of a classic as it could have been. You'll love it and play it to death, but don't be surprised if those painful feelings of déja vu and disappointment take over every now and then.

Turn-based strategy that'll turn your life upside down.

This sucker is hard. Exploration is the name of the game and quite often you will have to perform an action in one part of the house that has ramifications somewhere far off in another room. Putting it all together is definitely a challenge.

Easily the most fun racing game currently available on Xbox 360.

The PvP system is flawed and that dampens the experience and entertainment factor. Sure, there is an adrenalin rush, and you have to keep on your toes, but it does grow old after a while, and players who find themselves being ganked continuously by squads of PvPers who are exploiting the system may soon head for other pastures.

Quite possibly one of the best Naruto games to come along on a next-generation console, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm is a solid fighting game for the PS3 that is true to the series. It’s a blast running through the Hidden Leaf Village and it’s quite satisfying to be wrapped up in major battles that fans and non-fans will enjoy.

Despite the fact that Klonoa games don't see much change from title to title, it almost doesn't need it. We still see some minor additions in each one, but in the end it's the gameplay that makes Klonoa so great.

I am truly amazed at how well the GameCube controller performs with SSX Tricky.

It should make the developers of these games feel proud to know that nearly two decades later their titles are better than most of the new stuff being released.

All of these elements come together for a simple game that is deeply addictive. StarBurst is hectic, fast-paced, and highly enjoyable. If you're into puzzle games, add this one to your list of must-download apps.

If you own The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, you really can’t go wrong with this expansion.

It's not as crazy or as outrageous, which might seem a little strange after seeing the direction the game was going in. But once you play NHL Hitz Pro, even for only a few minutes, you'll see that the developers have taken the series in the right direction.

While it's a few dozen DLC characters away from fulfilling its true potential, the appeal of seeing Viewtiful Joe stand side-by-side with the likes of Dante, Thor, Deadpool and Ameratsu, and the overall value due to its superb execution, make it a must for anyone who knows what a Hadouken is or has ever made "snikt" noises with their imaginary claws.

It took 3 years but it was worth the wait.

Many people will tell you that "Mortal Kombat II" and "3" alone are worth the $20, and when you notice how many other great arcade games are gathered here it becomes obvious that it’s well worth its price.

Every texture, character, and word of dialogue is infused with High Moon Studios' passion and respect for the property. If you aren't amazed by the detail in every inch of Cybertron, you aren't paying attention. If you don't feel a surge of excitement with every firefight, I fear you've let yourself become jaded.

One of those games that, at first, is merely fascinating to look at, then becomes addictive.

As fun and addicting as it ever was. It sports exceptional production values, a lengthy, unique set of songs, and to put the icing on the cake, ravishing online capabilities.

The main fault of this title is that is not long enough.

A superb blend of battles that differ from the genre’s norms. It is a grim (and grand) blend of glorious missions that are fought and won in a 2D, side-scrolling environment. The controls are top-notch.

The camera can be a little obstinate at times, but the game is very easy to pick up and learn to play. The developers made certain that the joy of this title is in playing the game, not mired in trying to learn how to play it.

While not terribly far removed from the original Under the Knife, this entry showcases some more complex surgeries while still being as user-friendly as DS games come.

The Godfather II is a great sequel, expanding on the content of the original game while making some fine additions to the formula. While the story elements aren’t too impressive and there are some design quirks, the gameplay is deep and engaging, and easily recommendable for fans of the original game or of the sandbox-action game genre.

This year’s March Madness keeps the series rolling by featuring the new NBA Live 2005 engine with its great new control scheme.

A solid game of hockey with fantastic controls and tons of features.

The Wii version succeeds with intuitive motion controls.

While the touch-screen stuff can get a little difficult when the action gets intense, the game makes good use of the DS’s unique abilities.

Graphically it is strong, and the audio tracks are superb.

If you ignore Magic Pengel, you’ll be missing out on a wildly original concept that allows you to draw and bring to life characters straight from your very own imagination.

The fact that Resident Evil 5 was worth playing through twice in one weekend shows how compelling the gameplay is, and how it's able to rise above a number of disappointing flaws.

A graphically superb experience with solid, although not as detailed fighting controls.

Helsing's Fire may be one of the most well-built games on the iPhone, and may be one of the most enjoyable, but every purchase you and your friends make for it, is another purchase against the undead.

While the jump from the new Easy mode to the standard Normal difficulty is a bit too sharp, the game still does a fantastic job of capitalizing on the series’ best elements. If you enjoyed the franchise’s old-school reboot last year, then you owe it to yourself to pick this one up as well.

The action is exciting, the presentation is a sheer knockout, and the replay value is through the roof, especially with the "Nation" factor and the looming Platinum trophy. It's definitely worth wiping out the undead for.

Tempting to compare & criticize against previous versions, but stands well on it’s own.

A dream come true for those who loved the incredible lineup of titles that made the Genesis such a great console.

Marvel Pinball is simply a must-buy. Though the ball physics can be a little speedy at times and some of the bonus rounds are mildly frustrating, it's a great collection of pinball games that you shouldn't miss.

Sure the awful framerate problems will frustrate as will the long load times but considering the deep single-player modes and the tons of extras, this one might not be perfect but it still has all the right moves.

This game is so rich with eye candy, you’ll be running to your optometrist complaining of a cavity.

Playing alone, or against the loud-mouth you loathe, there's plenty to enjoy in this 2002 version of NBA Live. Don't blame me for the numb fingers.

Bravo, PlatinumGames. You've made a game and created a heroine that gives Dante a reason to cry.

A surprisingly excellent GBA game with plenty of lengthy levels and ninja action that will bring to mind those great classic platform games of the old days.

It presents a nice challenge, and has a solid options package.

Across the game’s several innovative features, a common thread ensures Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10’s status as a landmark Wii title — from stunningly accurate motion controls to allowing players to compete with the pros, this game was made to be the most immersive golf game of all-time. And it is.

It’s not cheap, it’s excruciatingly difficult. There is a difference.

A somewhat addictive and enjoyable race game wrapped in sterling graphical elements.

An incredible and original game of operation.

The game is a joy to control, even when using the more complex control schemes.

The team-based elements are great, calling to mind X-Men Legends. Unfortunately, the game lacks depth and feels pretty linear, making the adventure short lived overall.

Anyone can jump in and enjoy DanceMasters instantly, but those looking to truly master the game will find a long, rewarding process ahead of them.

If, however, you've always wanted to make your own WarioWare mini-games – or have had the desire to create any game at all – WarioWare: D.I.Y. is an impressive package that won't let you down.

The controls are more responsive than the 360 platform, and there is the create-a-player option to put you squarely into the heat of the battle.

The game is technically shorter than other Zelda adventures, but there's no way you'll finish this one in a couple days unless you have a strategy guide at your side. Believe me when I say that a strategy guide is no way to enjoy a Zelda game.

The best stunt driving game I've played all year. It's challenging, but not to the point where you'll risk losing your sanity.

If you love playing tabletop-strategy board games, or strategy games in general then you will love Diplomacy. It offers hours upon hours of gameplay that will keep you entertained for months to come.

A refreshingly different take on the series, with high-speed action and excellent online features.

I liken it to a big budget Hollywood movie, sure there isn't anything super surprising or ground breaking, but it sure is entertaining.

Most games lose their luster after you've killed the 999th warrior, but Total Warrior keeps things fresh throughout the journey.
