With sharp visuals and loads of neat levels, you'll have a blast cutting through enemies. If you're offended by extreme violence, stay clear, otherwise this is one enjoyably gruesome action game.

A good rental for most and a decent buy for the super-hardcore wrestling fanatic, WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 doesn’t push the series forward. But with the next-gen consoles in full swing, it doesn’t seem like there is much room for the game to grow without jumping ship.

Do not expect this to be a quick in-and-out type of game. The timer for the starting missions is 60 minutes, and you will use most of the that to work through the map and accomplish what you are tasked to do.

Nice game play, rich historical perspective and solid animation.

This game scores big points is in the cerebral zone. This is chess, pure and simple.

A little typical in terms of graphics and sound, but what this game does bring to the fore is depth of gameplay. It is immersive, and challenging.

Maintaining high standards of visual and technical expertise, while valiantly tackling the formidable task of creating a game to appeal to an almost impossibly wide audience, Lucas Learning has created a game that is worthy of praise.

It’s fun and frustrating, slow but challenging, and only semi-realistic.

All the storylines were so creatively done it’s a wonder that Westwood or EA has not jumped on the bandwagon and gone Hollywood.

Playing as Billy isn’t bad but you’ll start feeling like Reverend Ray should have been the real star of the game. In the end, the single-player game just doesn’t hold a candle to the enjoyable online multiplayer.

The action is high from beginning to end. The only problem: the end comes up very fast. Herbie's goal of saving an animal sanctuary can be finished in well under 90 minutes.

For $20, Pipe Mania is a solid game for fans of the classic. The lack of multiplayer is a serious misstep for any DS puzzler.

The variety of gameplay types is considerably higher than most action/adventures, let alone games with a movie license attached.

Good, and in some ways great, but it's too realistic to be true to the series. These new elements shouldn't be scrapped for the next edition, just revised.

Aside from a LOT of backtracking and annoying (rather than challenging) events, it's a solid game and worth a look. It's easy to pick up and get going.

The game suffers from sluggish game play and perceived slow controller response issues.

Marvel Comics fans will be very happy playing as The Hulk, but most gamers will find it uninspiring.

The best multi-platform real-time strategy game ever made. It's packed with replay value; you'll want to start another game and play through it again right after finishing it.

For the players who love the Ferrari brand to death and want a game that demands every ounce of patience they possess, there might be something valuable hidden within Ferrari Challenge. But know that most players will not be able to find it.

This poorly designed camera cannot keep up in many situations.

An absolute disappointment when compared to the expectations that are attached to DLC packs that are this expensive. Kasumi – Stolen Memory needed to be longer and provide more back-story to the troubled thief.

A decent title for the DS that (for once) looks like some real work was put into it. While the game is fairly short, fans of the movie will enjoy this beat-um-up.

Spyhunter may be a throwback to that original arcade game, but this old friend never looked so good, or was as welcomed.

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."

Considering that Homecoming’s gameplay is a clone of its predecessors, this isn’t the sequel that every Silent Hill fan will want to own. But you should definitely play through it once, as the old gameplay style is still entertaining (minus the clunky combat elements), the music and sound effects are great, and the new story will keep everyone guessing.

The game is fun, with great environments, fun weapons, tight controls, and quirky enemies.

Good game, but a copy of the game for each PC is a bit much If you want to play on a home network.

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.

The quintessential game of serendipity... The best shooter ever made.

The levels are fun to figure out and Barbie moves fluidly and well. However, the sneaking bit can get sticky as the game progresses, even on the easy level.

A poorly executed game with an original concept that is held back by its repetitive action and uninteresting world.

Not as much of a Blitz game as it is as a lenient version of Madden. You've got fewer rules, harder hits, and the ability to tackle a guy for no reason other than to mess up his play.

This title ported very well to the Xbox. Though mostly a quest-driven RPG, Arx Fatalis still manages to offer enough variety and discovery to keep players enthralled.

While the flight does get bumpy at times due to some wrist issues and limited song choices the overall experience is still intact.

Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis is a solid adventure game with some truly challenging puzzles. While there are some gameplay problems here and there, the game should appeal to hardcore fans of Sherlock Holmes.

Capcom would do well to treat its faithful with the respect we deserve. In the end, it’s best to object and hope the judges that be serve up a better port of the Phoenix Wright series.

As long as you remove high expectations – which I have no clue why anyone would have any for a 50 Cent title – then you’ll come away having a blast with 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand. It’s not the most original or clever title to release in 2009, but it’s a good 10-15 hours of mindless fun where you can shut off the thinking part of your brain and have a great time blowing up everything in your sight.

Easy to play, easy to run through, nostalgic game style and the memories brought on more than a few smiles during the game.

Technically it's not innovative, but it IS very polished, challenging, addictive, and features more action than 99% of the movie and TV-licensed games available. A must-buy for AmiYumi fans.

Draglade has a really unique premise that will keep players attention for a while, especially with the multiplayer aspects.

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.

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.

It’s a bit on the short side of things and the camera can be a little tricky at times, but overall this is a nice, shiny package worthy of your consideration.

Lionheart: King's Crusade is all the fun of battling heathens and crushing homelands, but without those pesky plagues.

The eye candy will lure you in, the gameplay will keep you intrigued and the free-roaming feel will keep you occupied for hours. X3 – Reunion takes the X franchise to new heights.

THIS GAME ROCKS! What I am most pleased with is the support that the web site offers.

This is probably the most beautiful display of 3-D graphics you will find in any sports game to date. This is of course if your PC has a lot under the hood, especially a good video card.

A cool title that offers gameplay that is both fun and challenging. While it won’t win game of the year bragging rights, it is still a pretty decent title.

Bottom Line is, although it is flawed this game still kicks major ass with steel tipped boot.

The AI is good, and while not flawless, provides a decent backup when things get a little heavy and will present a good challenge for even you veteran strategy players out there.

I can't tell you how exciting it is to see a well-crafted console game for children that is designed to be easy to play, but at the same time offers enough variety, levels and challenges to never be boring.

The Bourne Conspiracy does a marvelous job of giving us a taste of what it’s like being Jason Bourne and it captures the essence of the movie and Robert Ludlum’s books just right.

It's got excellent battle mechanics, plenty of character building choices, a bright airy feel, some witty interjections from Ryduo and Skye, and has hours and hours of gameplay.

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.

The game is a touch too simplistic, but does have solid characters, and very good sound.

This game won’t shine your shoes, press your clothes or mow your lawn, but it’s a game that offers a few minutes of removing yourself from the rigors of day-to-day life.

Die-hard Sims 2 fans might do well to avoid this, while those looking to enjoy the challenge of surviving on a deserted island – and who do not mind a bit of redundant tasks – should find this a decent escape.

This is a fun, challenging and entertaining game that offers just the right type of gameplay that Bubble Bobble/Bust-A-Move fans expect. For the rest of you that have never played a game in the series feel free to get your space suits on because Space Bust-A-Move is a blast!

An absolute disappointment when compared to the expectations that are attached to DLC packs that are this expensive. Kasumi – Stolen Memory needed to be longer and provide more back-story to the troubled thief.

Getting used to the controls for this game might take a little bit, but once you do and see everything in action you will really enjoy all that this game has to offer.

Combat Arms is fun. Simple as that. If you can overlook the annoying players, then anyone looking for a competitive online shooter should look no further. This is free to play FPS at its best.

A decent action game that could've been much better given more polish and some focus on the controls and balancing the AI.

WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2008 does a few things right, but doesn’t really bring the game to a whole new level like it should.

For the price of $29.99, Super Collapse 3 is a decent game. Sure, I have encountered better puzzles as of late (Puzzle Quest), but Super Collapse 3 delivers enough satisfaction for the price of entry.

It could be viewed as either mind-numbing or hypnotic. The game is simple enough to learn and time will flutter past as you play. Still, this is not a game that is overly complex and may not appeal to everyone.

It’s great, fun, and somewhat educational for the whole family, and it’s a well rounded game.

It's the biggest leap in the series so far.

While it does add some new concepts to the genre, it still may leave you feeling like it wasn't quite geared up for the power of the Xbox.

Saying that Blood Wake is fun to play would be a huge understatement.

If Ascaron patches in fixes for the bugs, to shore up the game, this will be quite entertaining and should provide a lot of fun. The graphical elements are, for the most part, well done, and the game has a very good vibe to it – it does not take itself too seriously, while at the same time telling a decent story.

Sure, dealing with the interface can be irritating. That doesn’t change the fact that Avalon Code is as unique and satisfying a game as your likely to find on the DS, or any system for that matter. If you’re willing to put up with a little frustration to experience one of the most original RPGs in recent memory, then Avalon Code is for you.

A Myst-like adventure with FPS controls. Now if they tuned up Beni's innate abilities, I would have been blown away. The uniqueness of the puzzles and how they work get big ups from this reviewer.

It does not have the attention to detail that PC gamers have come to expect from a title...[but] it was fun to play the sound was excellent, and the story held my interest.

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

The song selection is actually not bad at all but the game modes could have been a bit more exciting than the ones found in this game. Still, you cannot go wrong with this one, karaoke fans.

The next best thing to Pokemon ... when Pokemon still rocked.

This is not a bad game, but it doesn't make the playoffs when compared to other handheld systems. The GBA shows its age and limitations with this title.

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

Joint Assault isn't the worst Ace Combat game we've seen, but the ambition has waned a little bit.

It's so deceptively simple in concept, and yet you'll never find yourself feeling like you've seen it all already.

Don’t let the dated visuals fool you here - this game is as deep and engaging as they come.

An enjoyable game that's both enthralling and humorous.

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.

While the majority of the gameplay is pretty shallow, depending on repetitive jumping puzzles and weak combat, the two-character mechanic works well and collecting the unlockables throughout is very fun and engaging. The camera can be a pain.

Where Fate of the Dragons distinguishes itself is in the undercurrent of town management. This program is much more user friendly, less a micromanager style of play, and quite enjoyable.

EA did a great job on this game capturing all of the looks and voices of the characters from the film and books, and a superb job capturing the environments that look almost identical, even if a tad scaled down, to the film.

Microids did a great job putting together a well-written and scripted mystery to solve, and those of you who love the “whodunit” shows, books, and movies will probably have a good time with this one … despite a few flaws.

This game has some problems but is somewhat soothing. An accessible interface, the challenge of grabbing wind with the right sails, and dazzling sea effects make for a solid experience.

The graphics are of the highest quality, and the total interplay of the gamer is something you do not always find in a lot of highly touted must own games.

The police pursuit ends way too quickly (only once was a roadblock encountered), but solid graphics and sound accelerate this game down the home stretch.

Your mission... should you choose to accept it ... is to pay $50 for a somewhat average remake of a classic driving and shooting game, which will probably get beaten and possibly forgotten over the course of a weekend.

The time control elements are so unique and the corresponding graphic effects are so cool that you'd be a fool to miss out on them.

Quality issues aside, it's a fun 3D shoot-'em-up, and the PSP could use a few more of those.

As the umpteenth port it can’t score as highly as original and exclusive DS titles, but as a handheld survival/horror game it is everything I wanted.

Ar Tonelico certainly wins points for originality but in the end it does very little to get past its boring combat and limited exploration options that drag this game down considerably.

Much better than the Xbox incarnation, offering improvements in graphics, control and even slight AI improvements.

Wild! isn’t quite as large as Soaked, but it still offers fun additions for any fan’s park.

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