Keep expectations a bit on the lower side in regards to graphics or a ‘career’ mode, and you will enjoy this outing at the ol’ ball field.

A great characteristic of this game is that you typically race against fifteen other cars (sixteen cars total) and in the Le Mans race the total is twenty-four cars! This is in contrast to the typical six driver racing games, which are quite boring after experiencing this.

At times it will get frustrating when you think you have a Pac-Man drawn, and it doesn’t spring to life.

Nothing more than a slight improvement over the other console edition. Having said that, if you’ve always wanted to give the Sims a try and haven’t played the older version, this is definitely the version to pick up.

I believe this episode to be a little superior to Ice Station Santa in the smoothness of the story and the good integration of puzzles.

It's a shame that there were so few Nintendo themes and so much of only a few genres.

A good, involving mystery adventure that most players will enjoy for the story and the puzzles.

SuperNOVA 2 won’t engross those who have yet to be turned on by DDR’s catchy, rhythm-based gameplay. But if you’ve enjoyed the series and still want more, you can’t go wrong with this sequel.

A must have if you absolutely love the original. The casual player however, may not find this to be one to add to their game library, but is definitely worth the price.

There just isn’t enough challenge to make this the type of game that invites obsession.

People who don't mind redoing puzzles will enjoy the mental challenge, but others may become bored or frustrated and quit.

While this is very much a linear experience, the pacing is relaxed and gamers could enjoy the puzzles and the diversity of the crafting experience.

What I love about Little League World Series Baseball 2008 is that the games are short enough (6 innings, true to Little League) and fun enough that you can pick this game up and play it time and time again.

The solid controls, good graphics, and solid gameplay make up a respectable game that PS2 owners should try out. But the repetitive sound effects, slow frame rate and occasionally texture problems with the game engine will have some gamers looking for something else.

Bogeys when it comes to stability, but birdies in look and options for a par round of cyber golf.

The only two issues are the control scheme is not as good and many gamers might not be able to justify the higher price.

It’s free-roaming landscape, charming characters, solid platform action and fun multiplayer cart racing mode will hook you right away, mates.

Billy Hatcher's only significant flaw is its lack of a lengthy quest. If the game were more challenging it would probably seem a lot longer. Still, you're gonna have a blast with this one.

Aside from the great graphics and smooth-as-ice controls, the fact that you can explore your surroundings makes this an interesting racing game.

For those of you who are fans of sitting down and getting wrapped up with a decent puzzler that will keep you entertained and guessing, this is one worth giving a run.

The RPG side of the game is limited to running around town and finding opponents to duel, but the duelist leveling system does add a new wrinkle to the gameplay.

Phantasy Star Zero is one of those games that some will fall completely in love with while others just won't get it.

Though the complete control might be a little much for most gamers, the ones that learn the game will enjoy it very much. Creating a dynasty, signing peace treaties, and declaring wars really makes you feel like you’re in control.

A delightful little game with solid graphical elements and difficulty levels that will challenge most players.

Most fans of city-building simulations will be well-pleased. The interface could use some improvements, and for my part, I would like to see more focus on planning well-laid out cities, but this game is enjoyable to play and will please most.

A good game, but not one that lives up to the high standards set by previous Nancy Drew games. It's just too short.

Spidey looks great in this format, the animations are excellent and the game play is solid.

This game will be worth revisiting in a year to see what progress has been made and how it has evolved.

It may not be the most original platformer, but as the old saying goes, "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it."

While it’s not the finest tuned game on the market, the comic book presentation is smoother than silk and even despite some areas of improvement it remains an entertaining story that will keep you playing on.

The graphics are bright, colorful and compelling – as is the gameplay. Players will be drawn through the game by the brisk pacing and the fun that seems to be firmly ensconced in the style and feel of the game.

This looks quite nice, but is an arcade game that seemingly skimps on the reality inherit in other platforms while still providing a solid gaming experience.

Delightfully animated.

Front Mission 4 has solid gameplay, but fails to stand out from the turn-based tactical combat crowd.

This game has a great concept to draw young people in to learn but at the same time play. I think it is a great way to get kids to love to learn.

It is a solid R&C release, despite its shortness.

What Culpa Innata lacks in terms of innovative gameplay, it makes up for in depth – that is the key to this game.

In terms of what it brings to the table, it’s a bunch of the same ole, same ole, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing since the series was very good to begin with.

TOA is a good game, just not the latest RPG masterpiece.

Fans of The Secret Saturdays will be thrilled to play Beasts of the 5th Sun.

The bad thing about this game is that it is extremely easy, and at times, will still feel a bit redundant.

Tom Clancy’s EndWar is certainly not a crowning achievement for the franchise, but it works well as an RTS and may help to draw new players to the genre. Hardcore RTS fans will likely be disappointed by the game’s lack of depth, however.

There are a few problems, namely with the camera and the confusing nature of the mini-games, but on the whole this is a game that parents can be sure will please the kids, and offer the parents something, as well.

The game is riddled with glitches that play a hand in making the gameplay something that still needs plenty of attention if this series plans to compete with the big leagues.

One of the best things about Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue is that it is on a discounted price. Another thing that this game has going for it is that it is extremely "kid friendly."

A great multiplayer mode. Playing by yourself could use some work, but if you don't mind the unintelligent cops, or the racers that seem to ignore everything around them, there are 33 cool levels to enjoy.

As far as children's titles go, this one is absolutely terrific. It takes all of the fighting games like SoulCalibur and Mortal Kombat and puts them into a witty, harmless game that you don't feel so bad about letting them play.

"Centipede" is perhaps the most exciting addition to this classic compilation and thanks to its intense action and the ability to turn the screen 90 degrees and play it the way it was intended it is one of the funnest games in the collection.

It’s an improvement over the two movie adaptations as it is unquestionably faithful to the comic series. I haven’t seen another comic book video game this faithful to its license.

Combining fun mini-games, hot fashion items and an entertaining story, it doesn’t get any better than this game.

While it doesn't add anything new or addictive for gamers who might be familiar with the genre, it looks good and it's gameplay is simple and solid.

This is a well-done implementation of two tried-and-true classic card games.

The combat style was a neat addition, as was the ability to customize many aspects of your plane including the looks, but overall the sim style of gameplay just made the actual racing piece feel a little too slow.

A fun, action-filled romp that stays true to the spirit of the characters as Mel Blanc envisioned them. Improvements on the camera system would be nice.

The best thing about All-Star Baseball 2002 is definitely the gameplay.

Has some drawbacks, but offers incredible fight graphics.

I wish the developers had done more with this game, like include other modes or pursued the music idea further. But if you like Looney Tunes and Elite Beat Agents, however, this game is totally for you.

There can be some frustrations with gameplay, but the overall experience is a positive one.

A great expansion pack. It adds new units that everyone is sure to love. The only bad thing is the lack of multiplayer and co-op that made the original so fun. After players get through all the single-player missions and the challenge mode there is nothing left, and that is a true shame.

What it doesn’t have is perfect controls. They’re slippery, and oftentimes make it extremely difficult to win without over or under-steering. You really have to master how the game is going to react to each situation and adjust your skills to match.

As it stands, while very good, SingStar ‘80s is not overly indicative of the time period in the music world. Still, it offers a solid collection of tunes that karaoke singers will thoroughly enjoy performing.

While conceptually simple, this game does provide some challenge. The graphics will grow on players, and the program itself will appeal to a wide age range.

Even though Antigrav is a simple and quick play, the innovation and unlockables easily add replay value. It’s just plain fun.

One thing the developers had "dead on" is the games entire atmosphere.

The real draw is the depth of the game. This is not a title for the casual turn-based strategic gamer. This is a title that requires thought, patience and a solid foundation in the game mechanics.

Playing is quite fun, and there is a good mixture of conversational clues, puzzles and fun things to see. The puzzles are fairly well-integrated, but not logical all the time.

While the overall style of the game is similar to what has been done before, the uniqueness of the driving skills, spurred by the vehicles, adds an interesting element that racing fans might enjoy.

Good mindless fun, but don’t expect an incredibly deep game. Also, it is VERY mature, so beware.

The grapple system, while finally starting to come back into popularity, isn’t perfect. The game still feels like you can finish it without focusing on the grapple system. The story mode is also a big disappointment for hardcore wrestling fans.

A definite case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. If you never played this style game before, subtract a point for how dated the whole thing will feel. If you're a fan of this style of RPG, add a point for the memories it will bring back.

As a shooter it is lacking, as an adventure it has intrigue and numerous challenges.

Like people, this game has its share of problems, but once you get to know it, you'll likely find that it's a game worth spending time with.

Explorers of Time doesn't provide the intense challenge or genuine sense of accomplishment that some of the other Mystery Dungeon titles are known for, and adult players might find the whole thing a little cutesy.

de Blob is a fantastic experience, but one that I wish had more depth and challenge. I think this is the start of a great franchise (game, toys, or TV show) and one that will surely improve in its next iteration.

A solid game that has some stability problems but excellent overall animation.

Prototype has a ton of potential, which some solid mechanics and a big world to explore. Unfortunately, that world is ultimately gimped by weak missions and rough combat.

Recommended to the die-hard Potter crowd, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a rich adventure that’s light on longevity.

The added AI intelligence helps out a lot though, and made it a little more enjoyable ... and more challenging at the same time.

This game really deserves a better single-player campaign but sadly is only given a mediocre makeover from last year's version. The single saving factor of this game is being able to shoot and blow things up with complete control over time. It is just plain fun.

Controls will take a bit of getting used to. There are a variety of controls elements to get used to, and it will take some players up to 15 minutes to get comfortable with them.

The only real problem I had when playing the game was getting units to break off an engagement.

Could have been so much more than what it turned out to be. GenePool Software should have delayed this game a month to iron out the AI, camera control, and other issues that this game had from time to time.

Monster Lab is a good game that will stay in your Nintendo Wii for a long time. Hopefully Eidos Interactive will create a sequel to this game that fixes its shortcomings as they have a potential blockbuster in their hands.

Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero is a fun little adventure game that’s simple enough for young gamers to enjoy, but substantial enough to keep us older gamers happy. It’s a unique, charming little adventure, and DS owners with a taste for the cute and colorful will find it worth their time.

A good game for kids, and one which offers some good replayability, with the Trial mode of unlocked games.

The sound is undoubtedly Burnout's biggest flaw. The music is absolutely horrendous and deserves to be turned off at the first possible opportunity.

Fun and nostalgic, Ghost Squad delivers hardcore action at a sweet $30 price tag.

The dual control stick gameplay is an interesting twist on traditional methods of control, but after the novelty wears off so too will your patience for its overly simplistic nature.

A great creation system, deep dynasty dynamics, amazing animations and terrific play-by-play are the hallmarks of this title. EA Sports, though, needs to get a better framerate to go along with the high-definition graphics it is pumping into the license.

If you’re new to the genre, this would be a good game to get you started into the style.

The racing action is fast, while still maintaining a smooth, polished feel. The controls are solid and the cars handle very well.

You may have to work to unlock the bonus games and more difficult tracks, but there is something about this game that will compel you to do so, playing some of the levels over and over until you accomplish the deed to advance.

This game feels rushed. The interfaces is simple and easy to get hold of, but the tempo of the game is such that you have little time to savor what you are seeing or doing.

Even though the later Mega Man titles are not as good as the first few, it is still a very incredible collection of Mega Man X games in one nice little package.

The play is solid, the graphics are good to excellent and program is delivered with an obvious appreciation for the sport.

Its bland, lifeless environments (corridors) detract from the experience, causing a few moments of boredom. Get past that and you’ll have a good time. You won’t be blown away, but you’re likely to be surprised.

If you acquire the taste of The Dark Spire, it will engage and entertain your senses for hours.

Despite the aging gameplay dynamics and rehashed sound-effects Hot Shots Golf 3 manages to deliver a full-on entertaining experience that is rarely found within games of the golfing simulation genre.
