The kind of combat title gamers will find hard to put down and, while it suffers from a number of imperfections, the missions are far too engaging to care about the little things.

If you're up to the challenge of dealing with the combat issues then Juka shouldn't disappoint.

The fast packed, break neck excitement of a Burnout games is contagious even on portable system.

The combat is good but the computer AI is at times perfect in combat which is an issue. The linear way in which the game plays out hurts the game when compared to other RPG games out for the PSP right now.

Despite its dated gameplay style and way-too-numerous battles, Tales of Phantasia is an enjoyable role-playing game fans of the genre will certainly enjoy.

Nothing much has changed in the world of Katamari and this is both a good thing and a bad thing, but one thing is for certain and that is that Beautiful Katamari for the Xbox 360 is still charming and fun.

If you have a lot of friends, you'll be pleased with Beach Spikers.

Even though the DS does not have an analog control, the game is really responsive.

A fun and fast game, the graphics, gameplay and sound are all above board on this one. Easily worth the ten bucks.

Offers gamers a solid racing experience that might leave some gamers wanting more.

Has terrific graphics but suffers from clumsy gameplay.

Best suited for the Disgaea fan who loves the series solely (or at least primarily) for its gameplay, and for newcomers who will skip the story regardless of its quality.

One of the best things is that this game, even though it can be really frustrating, is suitable for the younger gamers that might be in your household.

Theatre of War will put energy back into the real-time strategy genre for hardcore gamers, but it may be too late to fully grab the casual crowd back into the genre.

With Madden 08 I enjoyed the Superstar Challenge the most since it allowed me to replay great games from last year in different ways. Visually the game is both solid and underwhelming at the same time.

It’s exciting, has a wonderful trick system, excellent courses, and all the addictive content the series is known for. It’s more of the same, and for the third time running. But unlike other series that just love to repeat themselves, this one is still really good.

It's a fun game that takes what you know about zombie games, bends it on its ear, kicks it in the shin and then pours malt-o-meal on its head as it laying there on the ground, good times.

A solid baseball game for the Wii that is lacking in what the Wii does best, Motion controls.

This is essentially the same as the DS version minus the touch and dual screen features. Unless you hold the games side-by-side as I did you won't be able to pick out many differences.

This is one of those games that is very familiar, but still entertaining. Loki treads familiar ground, but still manages to provide a treat for those who enjoy a good old-fashioned hack ‘n slash.

An enchanting journey, rife with clever graphics and a host of puzzles although it is built on a tired theme.

It has everything you want in your fighting games with the exception of online capabilities.

There are still a ton of controls in the newest version of the Battlecruiser series … but 3000 AD has done a good job in making them a little more accessible for things that you will do most often during the game.

At last, a game that features Superman and Batman that isn't awful.

The puzzles will have you thinking ahead or scratching your head as you try to reason through what looks to be right in front of you. The look of the game is solid, though the 2D presentation of the three-dimensional game can be a touch irritating at times – especially when you want to swing around to look at something and can’t. Still the game is true to the license and is a solid puzzle-adventure outing.

While it plays like the GBA version, the DS gets good multiplayer action worth the purchase price alone.

Failing to rise above its mediocrity, Destroy All Humans! is still a fun and original game gamers will want to check out when they're in the mood for something different.

The game can be repetitive at times, and it certainly wasn’t made for the action-hungry crowd. But if you to spend a night with the world’s most interactive museum, Battle of the Smithsonian is a fun ride.

An addictive, slash-heavy (but not button-mash-heavy) fighting game that builds depth from an unfamiliar place: simplicity.

The addition of character control and world exploration are a natural transition for the series. The picture is crystal clear, simplifying the act of card placement.

Some problems include awkwardness of movement for some of the characters, which can lead to losing health points, and also an unnecessarily complex password system, but the game in its totality is a good one for young children.

Kids will definitely enjoy building their own park and creating their own mutated dinosaurs down to the last detail and Dino Island allows them to do it all.

Next to the Orange Box, this is actually a sweet value title. You must like killing aliens, lots of action and the kind of game where it pays to go looking down deserted dark corridors.

Thankfully, an intense multiplayer mode saved this game and will have pinballers everywhere trying to find that score of 1 billion.

Players who enjoy RPGs will enjoy the dickens out of this title, but they need to be sure they have a really awesome system to run it on, and all the patches that go with it.

A surprisingly well-executed action game that actually comes close to being a nearly perfect first-person shooter on the DS handheld.

If you’re looking for a rousing time full of charm and humor, A Vampyre Story provides a tremendous amount of both.

A grand collection of inspired mini-games.

Night of the Quinkan has a really nice control scheme and plays really well. The platforming elements, racing, and combat are all really tuned well.

An entertaining, but altogether incomplete and, at times, incomprehensible adventure.

One of the better movie-based games with hours of entertainment for both kids and adults.

Worth a purchase by anyone who loves mini-games, and certainly worth buying as a Balance Board bundle if you don't own the original, Wii Fit Plus is an upgrade that'll satisfy one audience but could disappoint another.

What was really surprising to me is that this game was in 3D, and the best part is that it didn’t feature that many slow downs.

Although not completely perfect, it does manage to provide a few thrills until the next Ricky Carmichael inspired MX title.

The gameplay is really improved upon just by using the second analog stick for camera control. The party games are fun, but would have been better if they were multiplayer.

A light-hearted and entertaining aerial combat adventure. Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron soars above and beyond most other flight games, kid-targeted or not.

They may be annoyed by the camera and/or repetitive objectives but will be entertained by what is the best Crash game developed in a long time – and one of the best Mario clones released for Nintendo Wii.

The developers at EA finally nailed down what it takes to create a fun Superman game. The only problem is that the game is really late (since it is a movie tie-in and the movie came out nearly six months ago) and the game can get really tedious.

An excellent shooter that, like so many, fails to deliver a flawless experience, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a game that most everyone should play.

For an Arcade racer, this one is totally FUN, a great way to burn a few minutes or hours.

However this collection also gives you an insight into some of the Sonic games that some players wished would disappear. While the emulation is spot-on for the games, having to put up with a black bar around the screen could be upsetting to some.

There are many aspects of Velvet Assassin that could benefit from further time in development. Still, the game is strong enough to stand on its own, and will leave players ready and waiting for a sequel.

A terrific treat for the eyes. The gameplay is simplistic and veteran gamers should pass on this, as it won’t be a diversion for long. But younger players may find this a wonderful little arcade adventure in a lush world.

It's a long game, and that can go a long way in this industry. You'll be playing this one for weeks.

R-Type Command is an excellent strategy game that’s nearly killed by its slower-than-bearable pace. Strategy gamers, though likely frustrated and contemplating an exit strategy, will want to endure the monotony to reap the benefits: engrossing combat, great levels, and larger-than-life boss battles.

Zendoku is worth picking up if you’ve got buds that will play with you. Fun multiplayer kinda makes up for a lackluster single player experience.

This game is for a very particular type of gamer. One who liked the movies "Starship Troopers" and "Aliens" and someone who likes shooting holes into giant beasties, there is blood, there is foul language, there is an awful lot of killing, and I for one couldn't be happier. In all honesty, I needed to play this game in order to put some much needed fun into my game time.

If you are on a limited budget and need a game for the kiddies, than look no further than Scaler!

This game does have appeal, but it isn't a strong reflection of the college game.

A bit rough around the edges, and the controls are too sluggish for today's high standards.

The first half the game isn’t nearly as enjoyable as the last half. If only they could have packed in more exciting moments to keep you interested in the story, maybe it would attract more people to the game.

Stubbs makes his way to the finish line a little lethargic and humdrum. That's not to say that Stubbs didn't offer an entertaining night out on the town. I never knew eating someone's brain could be fun.

If you are a fan of third-person action or Jon Woo, this game will deliver a fun and exciting ride. If you are into deep stories and complex characters with story plot twists, avoid this and anything else Jon Woo for that matter.

Barrow Hill is another solid addition to the point-and-click genre. The genre will never go away, especially with quality titles such as this one coming out.

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

Song of the Ocean is by far the best game in The Legend of Heroes trilogy despite the fact that this one plays it safe by adding every RPG cliché in the book. Yet even without an ounce of originality or a particularly moving story, this one outdoes the first two chapters in almost every way.

Suspect AI decisions can make for a frustrating experience, though. The controls are fine, but the SIXAXIS is not well used.

The game isn’t able to fully achieve an overall genuinely thrilling appeal or provide over-the-top fun.

That's the beauty of Tennis Masters Series: beating it doesn't kill your desire to play it again. In fact, it may actually enhance it.

Word War II first-person shooters are a dime a dozen on the consoles so it is refreshing to see one make it to Sony’s handheld without losing much of what makes these games so much fun.

Not terribly innovative, but quite solid, Spyhunter can give you a fairly fun time. The level design, controls, and mission objectives all work well together.

The fighting mechanics for this game are not the best I have played but they get the job done.

If you liked Myst and you like pirates, go buy Destination: Treasure Island, this is one adventure game that can be saved from walking the plank.

Six quality titles and one bonus game make for a great collection. But make sure you bring your "A" game because you're going to need it.

Easy to play, rewarding yet not condescending, this is a game I am happy that my child wants to play.

There is enough challenge to it to make it enjoyable, and enough of a mixture of mission objectives to not have you ledge hopping over and over and over again.

Offers a glimpse at what American soldiers went through in Vietnam 40 years ago. But unfortunately it doesn't meet the normal expectations of a successful FPS and will quickly become another game in the crowd.

If you can stomach the disturbing images (I did) and like your adventure games on the dark, sinister side, then take this game for a spin, chances are you will enjoy it in spite of the little problems the game has.

Be wary when purchasing Meteos: Disney Magic. It isn’t a full out sequel by any means. I recommend this version of Meteos first – especially since the original is leagues above it in difficulty.

Depths of Darkhollow adds a lot of new content to explore. Its also built on the long-lasting EverQuest interface. It handles well, but like any game there is a learning curve for new players.

The number of options, the good graphics for the globe and almost limitless gameplay adds up a game that is worthy of United Nations attention.

Provides fun, simple tactical action, and really, who could ask for more?

The combat isn't deep, the level design's not fantastic, and the AI's a bit dumb. But BloodRayne has one big thing going for it: it's fun!

A fairly entertaining game. If boxing games are your thing, then you should check it out.

There’s nothing really exceptional about this game but if you’re looking for a well-made platformer with massive playing environments and plenty of amusing challenges, give Ty the Tasmanian Tiger a try.

By letting players customize their avatars to a high degree the developers have given a world of possibilities to the players. The two notes that bring this game down to Earth are the graphics and the sound.

Repetition aside, however, there's no reason why kids won't be all over this one. Shrek SuperSlam is slap-happy fun for everyone.

If linearity is not an issue for you, Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars is a rewarding action/adventure. And even if it is an issue, those who enjoy the genre will find a lot to like about this game.

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.

A great game...two years ago in the form of Pearl and Diamond. Today, Platinum is a good game. A must-own if you've yet to play Pokémon on the DS, but not a good buy for anyone else.

The lack of variety of units is hurtful, but not as much as the lack of information when selecting parts for your ships or after a battle has been fought.

A deep and involving WWII strategy title.

Elite Force had the potential to be not only a really stellar first-person shooter but also a Star Trek title that would surpass all others. Yet its sometimes-sloppy graphics, constant interruptions and substandard enemy AI dull things considerably.

Rich in graphical details, and sporting a classic player interface, Dragon Throne is a solid addition to the lineup of strategy games.

With its arcade-style power-ups, turned-based combat system and group combat management, this is a game that presents challenge and adventure.

While it definitely isn’t going to start a new trend in the puzzle gaming industry, it is a nice new concept and will quickly have you sucked into the deceivingly addictive gameplay.

Short but entertaining, Penumbra: Black Plague is enjoyable, a bit challenging at times, but worth the journey.

Having played two other versions of Puzzle Quest already (PC and Xbox 360), it’s evident that the Wii version is the weakest of the bunch. The controls, while sometimes precise and intuitive, are a mess with too many menus for the Wiimote/Nunchuck scheme and accidental mistakes that players will run into with using just the Wiimote.
