JAWS Unleashed could’ve been a great game, given it’s unique premise and experienced developer. Unfortunately, the game is too buggy and has too many issues to make it one to recommend.

It might not be as huge as Halo or as deep as the Call of Duty games but it is still a fun war game with enough bullets and heart to make this a worthwhile game to play this summer.

Heroes of Might and Magic has always been about strategy in a board-game setting, where players take their time making decisions on each turn. Building up a huge army, amassing tons of money and resources and beating those pesky enemy heroes is what it’s all about. People new to the Heroes’ universe who enjoy a good strategy game should definitely give this one a try, as well.

Its sharp visuals, lengthy quests and interesting concepts make this a delightful romp well worth taking if you like hunting and action.

Field Commander has great elements (the online multiplayer) and normal features (the lacking AI) that is best to be described as a game of taste.

If you’re a fan of all of the different types of gameplay, mecha combat and rhythm gaming in particular, then you should give Steambot Chronicles a try.

This game is still as fun as it was when it was first introduced and while the difficulty level might not stump gamers this is still a wildly imaginative and addictively enjoyable game.

Unfortunately, the camera and control issues may give players a headache and some annoyance, so it really comes down to whether or not you can overlook the problems and put up with some aggravation in order to see a fun game underneath.

It's a decent adventure game that has some really interesting ideas on gameplay. It may be a tad too short, but there is some fun to be had while playing.

Taking a page from the Winning Eleven games, 2006 FIFA World Cup feels slightly like a realistic soccer simulator without losing its arcade game style, giving gamers the best of both worlds.

Presentation-wise, I think you’ll find a good amount to like here. The sound effects are spot-on, including the way the ball-to-paddle tone will vastly diverge for dramatic effect during a high-count rally. The visuals are a tad on the shiny and plastic look, but nevertheless they’re very well done, with superb lighting, texturing, and animations. Not much to complain about here.

To sum things up, the missions are boring, the puzzles are annoying and tedious, and the presentation is lackluster.

The video-game translation offers just a scrap of the mystery and intrigue brought on by the book and film, and will most likely frustrate you more often than it rewards you.

The game explains a lot about what fans may not see in the upcoming movie, and while this is a departure from the previous squad-based titles, it is still a wonderful and enjoyable bit of fun.

A solid and fun action game featuring one of the coolest superhero teams ever. With an excellent story with plenty of twists and turns and a host of familiar characters, fans will certainly have a lot to enjoy despite the linear levels.

X-Men: The Official Game had the potential to break free from the stereotypically bad superhero genre but ended up contributing to it.

While the use of the control scheme is innovative, X-Men: The Official Game is a pretty uninteresting experience.

If you have played this game on the home consoles, playing this version will be a disappointment. However, taken in context of what is offered here, the game does a decent job of portraying the characters.

Officially this game is fun and plays very well on the Xbox platform, with sterling graphics and sound, and challenging gameplay. The game is linear but tells a good story and has a great look and feel.

One of the most commonly know facts to all gamers everywhere is that movie-to-video-game translations are normally pretty bad. The sad thing is that overall, the trend is still continuing and has claimed its latest victim with X-Men: The Official Game.

While far from perfect, this game perfectly captures the mood and delivers a great adaptation of Dan Brown’s bestseller novel.

This is the hot game to get for the DS. It's loads of fun, has huge exploration potential and reinvents the 2D side-scrolling platform game. Nintendo has another notch on it's belt to go with all the other notches that the DS seems to have.

This is a wholly average game for small children, and just doesn't have anything to raise it above other similar games. I like the fact that the designers kept it simple for ease of play, but variety shouldn't have been sacrificed in the process.

The three races, even though there could have been some more differences between them, are really fun to play with and bring a nice breath of fresh air into the genre.

SiN Episodes: Emergence starts out great, with intense action and awesome physics. Unfortunately, the game grows very repetitive before too long, and will leave many players bored and wanting more diversity.

The game will provide a good deal of fun for younger fans of the film, even though older kids may not find it to be as entertaining.

The game is not terrible. It is just terribly familiar and lacks replay value - except for trying to play it multiple times to see how fast you can do it.

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.

Kids that enjoyed the movie will probably enjoy playing, although parents may want to check out Kao 2 instead, which while not a better game in technical terms, was just more fun to play in our opinion.

Its gameplay is genre-bending, its visuals are intense and demanding, and there’s enough content here to keep you returning for an obscene amount of time.

A nice enough diversion, but there's not enough challenge to hold anyone's interest for a long stretch of time. If it had been more of a simulation, like Zoo Tycoon in a tank, then there would be much more to do, but as it is, this game is more of a time-killer than anything else.

This game is numbingly boring, and frustrating in some of the levels due to the slowness of the characters' movement.

Shooter fans will be sure to find this a very intensifying enjoyable experience. If you have a monster of a machine to game on, this title will be sure to please.

While not the best of the best, it still ranks above average in terms of interest and playability.

Unfortunately, Top Gun rarely rises above it’s recycled mission structure and repetitive dogfights that ultimately makes this a forgettable experience.

While this does offer a nice range of options and tons of puzzles, it just isn't as pleasurable to play as it could be.

An excellent choice for families and for kids, and especially for kids in a school setting. This is the type of game that kids will learn quite a few factoids from, without realizing it.

Despite that small problem, Gallop Racer 2006 is a small improvement from the last installment. With even more addicting betting, stat managing and racing, Gallop Racer 2006 improved for the better.

Allowing players to move Prophecy characters to Factions landscapes and quest streams is a definite plus.

If you’re looking for a true survival-horror title that will literally force you to try and survive in the face of horror, a game that will leave you on the edge of your seat more than once, and a game that provides a solid story with some gore and disturbing images, this is one you should definitely check out.

Some gamers may be turned off by the complexity and slow pacing, but strat fans with open minds and a love for the genre should enjoy themselves here.

Boring graphics and irritating load times aside, Metal Saga is a half-way decent RPG. The charm lies in the bizarre enemies and the vehicular combat.

A really strong contender for dark horse game of the year. If good word of mouth can get out there then the game will see a deserved sequel.

While I can understand the developers change up the formula to adjust to a new platform with its own unique features, the execution of this is something less the desired.

Atelier Iris 2’s music, story and cast of characters are a winner. The rest doesn’t quite cut it.

The developers were clearly inspired by other games, but that's Ok - they changed things up by turning it into a top-down run-and gun-game with tons of action and ammo. Take a gander at this one if you like your games bloody with some doses of dread.

Winback 2: Project Poseidon seems like a game that started off with grand third-person shooter aspirations and then made a wrong turn and fell from the ranks of potentially good to merely average, at best. The storyline is predictable, and the missions bear a sameness after a bit.

This is a good game with a lot of challenges and more of FIFA’s acclaimed gameplay. However, innovation and graphical achievements were not included in this "upgrade."

The team management mode is a little light and there is no way to create a player to put into the action, but the look and feel of the game is very solid.

Good expansion, just not good enough to buy both the original and expansion to play it.

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.

There is an absolute ton of stuff to be found in the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion including the Aht Urghan themselves. New character classes, new and frightening looking monsters and more importantly new experiences in a world that needed a shot in the arm.

The controls are very well done. The combat system takes a little getting used to, but the movement and interaction controls are easy to use.

The mediocre graphics combined with the serious lack of options guarantee that it will end up collecting dust on my shelf.

Great graphics, great audio and a great plot more then offset the only "good" controls.

If you’re searching for a hearty, unique puzzler for your DS, Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day may just be a perfect match.

Is it fun? Yes. Is it graphically pleasing? Yes. If Auto Assault suffers from any problems they would be a repetitive influence in missions, and a lack of players, giving the sparse world an even sparser feel.

It would have received a higher rating if the gameplay had been longer, but it is still worth the purchase price. A nice choice for families and all ages.

While it’s not a radically new direction for the series, the return to the familiar elements that made this series such a joy are back and the action-packed moments scattered throughout make this a game fans will definitely enjoy.

The unique fighting styles of Jin and Mugen, combined with quick combos and awesome effects, create an experience that's as fun and exciting to play as it is to watch.

If you’re expecting a whole new game built from the ground up you will be in for a disappointment but if you’re looking for a fun game with an addictive online multiplayer mode then you will definitely want to buy this game.

If you’re looking for something which will provide some good scares with a pretty decent storyline and enough intense anticipation at times to literally make your muscles hurt, then this isn’t a bad one to check out.

It's good to see Lara back in top form and while her adventure is a bit on the short side and combat could have been handled a lot better, it's hard to say no to a pretty girl that still has what it takes to show us a really good time.

Sure it’s packed with drool-worthy game modes, interesting new features and a slick presentation but it’s plagued by flaws too hard to ignore and visuals just not good enough to make this a game worth buying.

If you want a game that has never been done before then you deserve to give Odama a try. Just be prepared to succumb to the unforgiving difficulty and quirky gameplay.

If you enjoyed any of the Hearts of Iron games then you will love this expansion pack. Just like the other games it has huge replay value and you definitely get a lot of "bang" for your buck.

The Silent Hill Experience gives diehard SH fans something to creep and crawl over. You won't find it anywhere but Sony's luscious handheld. This is a great package that shouldn't be missed.

Dull and boring, not too many will play it longer than one sit through. For the fan of the series, you may want to rent since there is no nostalgic moments to reminisce about.

Commandos: Strike Force lacks the forcefulness of its predecessors and of other first-person shooters. It’s cool to see a franchise try new things, but the finished product doesn’t live up to the standards of the series.

It’s harder, faster, and more realistic than its true competitors (motorcycle racers), but has what it takes to stand alongside the greatest racing games.

While it’s great to play through the most exciting moments of such a great Bond film, the game’s various faults just get in the way of enjoying this one.

The game has taken some big strides forward but there are a few issues that prevent this from being a home-run ball.

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.

UberSoldier would have benefited from any form of multiplayer. To no avail, there is none and you can clearly see it needed some form of replay value.

While Daemonica isn’t going to be for everyone, those looking for an entertaining and well written title will have a good time with it.

A dream title for sports gamers. Not only does it improve upon its forerunner, it completely revamps its gameplay engine making for an absolutely blissful virtual tennis experience.

The controls couldn't be any easier to learn, making this one of the few pick-up-and-instantly-enjoy basketball games available.

Snootier reviewers may give it a pass as it doesn't offer much in the way of innovation or challenges, but it still delivers action-packed excitement. However, it's pretty short and there's not a whole lot of incentive to replay it after finishing.

The smoothest and most seamless action/RPG to grace the PlayStation 2. It’s more addictive than "Grandia III," more charming than "Dragon Quest VII," and as memorable as the granddaddy of them all – "Final Fantasy [insert Roman numeral here]."

For the most part they offered multiple new ways to approach each situation, but I just felt that had the control scheme been adjusted to reflect these new changes, this game could’ve been much better.

Beatmania is a great rhythm game, but it’s not intended for a wide audience. I don’t think too many gamers will have the patience to get better and enjoy the harder songs.

While its newly added content and Evolution missions are welcomed additions, the main game doesn’t do anything that really sets it apart from the Xbox version and that includes the visuals.

While Untold Legends: Warrior’s Code is definitely an improvement upon its predecessor, there are major drawbacks including bland level design and nonsensical button-smashing.

Rumble Roses XX plays as good as it looks but with very little variety in the gameplay as well as the lack of a story mode makes this a wrestling game that just doesn’t have what it takes to make this a new favorite.

I like it, but I don't love it, and a part of me is really getting tired of it. The series needs to do something else – something new – if it wants to flourish.

Unless you really love Dynasty Warriors or have never played the series before, you’re going to be disappointed and probably bored.

A nice choice for families and all ages, and one that is guaranteed to last a long time.

American Conquest: Divided Nation doesn’t do enough to warrant a purchase outside the fan base that may be already established.

If you enjoy sci-fi strategy, or games similar to Pirate Hunter or Port Royale 2, this is a game that you need to try.

A decent game that required more time to polish up the game to make it truly unforgettable.

The flight controls, overall, on the keyboard were solid enough, but as I’ve stated a few times before, the game may just not be challenging enough for flight veterans.

This was a game that I really expected more from, but in the end it was nothing more than a monster disappointment.

An out-of-control fighter experience never before seen on the PSP, but problems in the game design may confuse and irritate gamers.

The Classics Collection Remixed might not contain the same blockbuster lineup of its console version but it's still a rock-solid assortment of games.

It’s a great game, no question, but it’s not that different from the others in the series.

Easy to pick up, easy to use, not overly complicated and you can play as little or as much as you like.

The only enjoyment I got out of this game was seeing some sprites from classic games after completing a mission. The rest was just boring, if not annoying or frustrating.

While certain aspects of the game could have been better (like the targeting system), the playground that is New York City and the mafia lifestyle are well represented.
