    A solid, well-played, highly original adventure.

    A surprisingly fun title to have and play. I've spent more time with it then I normally would have because my kid loves it.

    With optional boss fights and side quests, there is tons to do within Wild Arms 4 to make you keep playing.

    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.

    Frantic and intense, but also one of frustration and at times illogical confusion.

    Reel Deal is the real deal. It has a ton of games to play and endless hours of entertainment. You can become a whale (big time player) and really assert your prestige. I like this title and for the price it simply has my vote.

    This is yet another game tied to a popular kids show, and unfortunately it belongs to the vast majority of so-so products based on a famous license.
    • 67 Metascore

    Worth the purchase if you love Yu-Gi-Oh! I mean REALLY love it.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    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.

    Electroplankton isn’t an acquired tasted. Come to think of it I’m not sure there’s a gamer out there that this was designed for.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    With over 45 achievements to collect and never-ending fighting matches online, you will not run out of things to do in this game for a long time.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The game has some fine elements, but feels a little too directed at times and while pulling two diverse genres together is novel, not really enough attention was paid to either to create an experience that will draw players back time and again.

    King Kong for the PSP might lack the emotional impact of the console version but it does not fail to bring us all the visual beauty and brilliant blend of playing as either man or King of the savage jungle.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    I struggled harder then I should have had to, but found that sometimes it was worth it. Not always, but sometimes.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A beautiful spectacle, a colossal challenge, and a lack of action and excitement. The visuals captivate; the gameplay frustrates.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is a great game, but more so if you don't have Fritz 8. I do not think there is enough variance in the upgrade to warrant running off and getting it.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Sure, the twitchy graphical glitches can catch your eye and yes the load times will feel like an eternity but with solid controls, an amazing variety of game modes and PSP-only extras, this one wins the championship title.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    It’s not that the games no longer hold up the way they use to but rather it’s the poor way in which some of the game are fit into the PSP’s screen.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    There are some frustrations with saves and puzzle implementation, but the game does have solid entertainment value.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    More than merely "Sea Monkeys in Space", Space Station Sim is a rocket-boosted title that won't break the exploration budget. In the immortal words of Casey Kasem: "Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars."
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With solid action, decent levels and loads of monsters, the game is still fun enough for new fans as well as those who fondly remember the original.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Delivers a solid and challenging PSP game that fans of all things poker will gladly take along with them.

    An unimaginative racing game with no real worthwhile moments, Dragon Booster is just one of those titles that are hardly worth a glance for any Nintendo DS owner.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A charming PSP game that doesn’t lack most of the familiar gameplay elements while adding some fresh ones but then again its most troublesome glitches are just too bothersome to ignore.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fans of the first two Pac-Man World games will certainly enjoy this game that might not add a refreshing new take on the series but had enough levels to keep your hands busy for a few hours.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Playing this game is as much of a nostalgic experience as it is a new one. It doesn’t replace the real thing; it complements it.

    • 72 Critic Score
    Fans of collectible card games will find it easy to pick up the basics, and fans of the strategy genre can dive right into the combat system without trouble. The graphics are a little below average.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    An idea that went much further than necessary with graphical problems and sound that seems out of place. Better to pass on this one.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    An engaging and compelling life simulator with a quirkiness about itself that young and old will love to play.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    One of those great Nintendo games that takes a somewhat interesting sport and makes it one seriously engrossing game well worth the purchase price.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Play it, beat it, and get away from it for a while. Then come back with a few friends to see what the multiplayer mode is made of.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The Speed Kills really give the game some added flare, and makes it fun to go through without taking any damage.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Even though this series has had its bumps along the way, the end product was completely worth it.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Yet another great GameCube action game fans of the Prince will thoroughly enjoy from start to finish.

    If you are looking for a graphical prowess to be found in your college hoops game, look elsewhere.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    I like the fact that this title will take some dedication and resolve to complete and I still like the classic RPG look that it features.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Though not as innovative or as funny as the first, no fan will be able to put the game down, nor will fans be able to finish it without feeling excited and satisfied.

    If you have never really been a fan of this genre I urge you to give this one a try. It’s a breeze to play and will have any armchair General screaming Charge!
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's a great way to fool yourself into thinking you're having fun, when in reality you're having fun and benefiting from the games that require the use of muscles other than the ones inside your fingers and thumbs.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    The game's fighting mechanics are not only stiff but they are also completely devoid of anything that comes close to fun.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Nice graphics and solid sound, but the general gameplay and linear nature of the game make this a mindless, linear run-and-gun experience.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The puzzles left a lot to be desired, a move that makes the game more accessible to casual gamers but leaves us hardcore gamers wanting more.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The gameplay is a mixture of a quality FPS and third-person action game but with some interesting gameplay choices. The lack of a health meter is an innovative idea that works but not without some issues.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    One of the best FPS modern day war games to date, in my opinion. This expansion just adds to the realism allowing a more rounded arsenal and the use of some new tactics.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It is a shining example that sometimes games based on movies can be just as good as the movie but still be able to show us a different and interesting take on a story we’re already familiar with in the first place.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    Kong for the GBA isn't as "King" as it should be. Instead we're treated to a 16-bit era inspired action adventure game that is based on a classic movie.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Brings some exciting new action RPG elements to the WWII genre. However, the repetitive nature of the mission structures and the frustrating camera will likely keep you from being interested in for a long period of time.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Besides being way too short for comfort, the gameplay features suspense at every turn. I also liked the simplicity of the game such as the exclusion of a cross-hair and health bar.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The new gameplay features and impressive depth make this year's College Hoops the best so far in the series.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Not so much a game as an experience. Simply put, it's emotional, exciting, scary at times, and terribly fun.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The lack of variety within game modes, annoying music and repetitious combat left me with the same feeling I had after playing through the original.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The controls are well done, the sound is very good, the graphics carry the horror and surprise well ... if you have not experienced Quake 4 yet and plan on owning the 360, then this is a game that should be in your library.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    In spite of the limited graphics and repetitive sound Space Hack is a surprisingly addictive game.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Its visuals aren’t even as breathtaking as those found in "Project Gotham Racing 3" but if it’s wild racing action you seek then this one won’t let you down.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The game is really fluid and runs at a high frame rate. What I liked about this game is that the weapons that you carry will affect your speed, just like it would in real life.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Stunning graphically, a pleasure to control with the 360 gamepad, Call of Duty 2 is an amazing example of precisely what gamers can expect from the machine.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A pretty average game that won't hold the kids' interest for long. There aren't very many things to do in the game, and it becomes boring after awhile.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With weak enemy AI and a few so-so missions, the real treat here is how well the game handles true military tactics and the things our fighting men and women have to go through to make it in today's Army.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A really good RTS game that will capture your imagination as you try to become victorious over your foes.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Neopets: The Darkest Faerie’s standout flaw is that it isn’t very exciting. It should’ve been with its Zelda-inspired combat, massive worlds, lots of scavenger hunting, etc., among other interesting and highly promising features.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The melee combat is easy to control and the ability to use the wide assortment of everyday items as weapons never gets old. The only concern I have with the gameplay is the repetitive nature of how the levels play out.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An excellent skating game despite the fact that there’s very little that distinguishes this from the other console versions.
    • 84 Metascore

    One of the most impressive handheld versions of the Tony Hawk series to come to the portable gaming format, Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land is a true thrasher classic.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The controls are handled nicely enough and the tracks are designed well enough. Too bad the Career mode is over a bit too quickly.
    • 75 Metascore

    Everything about this game is really nice, yet it feels like a current generation game with a higher resolution.

    Only big fans of the Dynasty Warriors franchise will find something worth playing (if only temporarily). If you have never touched a DW title before, there are a half-dozen predecessors to this one that deserve more of your attention.

    Gun
    After playing through it once, I was left feeling a little disappointed. GUN is still a fun adventure, but lacks in some elements that could have made it a real hit.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Live 06 on the 360 comes out of the gate as a rush job in order to make the system’s launch, and is ultimately a disappointment, one that surely doesn’t warrant its $60 asking price. Wait for 07.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    While it is a lot prettier than the other console versions, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 for the Xbox 360 feels like a rushed production that plays well enough but still not up to the standards of the new console.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Its lack of variety in the game mode department will turn off those gamers who love the FIFA Soccer series but at least it plays well enough to keep soccer fans busy until next year’s game.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The decision is a no-brainer for people who don’t already own it on the Xbox or PS2, but for those who have played it before, the slick presentation just might not be enough to warrant an upgrade.

    Tears of Blood manages to hook fans of the genre with its gorgeous style and great story. It’s not as epic as the Final Fantasy games but it is still well worth playing.

    A real blast to play and some of the most fun I have had playing a Madden game in a while. The bad thing is that in order to ship this game out on time a lot of features that are normally in this game, and in other versions, have been cut.
    • 63 Metascore

    The hunting and stalking elements are completely removed from the series and thus making Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2 a shooter with very little substance or redeemable qualities.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With the exception of the bugs that I mentioned, this game is compelling. When you feel the need to play a game in any spare moment (bugs and all) you know that it's a good game.
    • 73 Metascore

    Old-school charm aside, the game’s story, characters and loads of goodies are enough to hook anyone interested in a role-playing game with a lot of heart.

    The average graphics and sound weigh down Starship Troopers. The ability to fight swarms of enemies is entertaining at first, but it can be a problem at times. Losing because the enemies attacked faster than you can kill them or because you looked the wrong direction for a second and a half can be frustrating.

    The action comes at you with both barrels blazing and never lets up. With crude humor, a "B" movie plot and lots and lots of guns, this is a zombie fan's dream.

    A clear-cut Q&A title. Its clunky setup and substandard auditory value make it one of the less flamboyant of trivia games, and unless you’re one of those people who must own everything Friends, I see no reason why anyone would want this in their collection.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A grand RPG with a great combat idea. It is certainly deserving of more than a mere look by PSP owners and RPG fans are likely to be enthralled with the create-a-combo pack idea.

    It’s small on action, has a restricted camera angle and is pretty weak in the challenge department, but the act of working with four different characters to help them save Narnia (and themselves) is pretty fun.
