Buy it for Pac-Man Vs. and/or if you don’t yet have a handheld version of the other games.

This expansion doesn't offer anything particularly game-changing, instead giving you more of what you would want as a fan of the game, namely a new campaign map, new units, and a host of new missions. The limited scope of the storyline does provide some focus and solid pacing, but comes at a price of some of the base game's non-military features.

This is truly a niche game. I would not recommend it to someone that does not know a good deal about hunting/fishing. There is just too much to know about the delicate ecosystem with wildlife and hunter's needs to just wing-it for some casual fun.

Shadow Ops hardly ever strays from its basic first-person shooter blueprint and that's what makes this a lackluster shooter, but the action is always of the pulse-pounding kind and that certainly counts for something.

The environments are big and interactive, adding a lot to the gameplay dynamic, and the pace of the races is challenging and engaging.

Vexx could’ve been worlds better if not for its nauseatingly inconsistent camera system.

Petz: Sports is a solid entry to the Petz franchise, and one that is pretty fun in sessions with friends. While the racing portions could be fleshed out more, there is a lot here for younger audiences to have fun with.

The battle system is well-implemented and interesting.

While the swing mechanics might not appeal to everyone, the many game modes and online play trumps previous Wii golf outings.

Shoot 'em up Heaven, puzzle-solving torture. Despite its flaws, Lilo & Stitch 2 is guaranteed to entertain its target audience.

Newcomers or younger gamers hopefully will try it out and see where the fun is, but ultimately this game is for those of us who grew up during that golden 80's era.

Shattered Dimensions is not the greatest Spiderman game of all time, but it absolutely ranks among the best on a handheld unit.

The battles are varied, along with the robots, but after a while, this game does get really repetitious.

Adds a brand new (and fun to play) race that adds a great new dynamic to the gameplay, as well as some nice features to keep things fresh for fans of the original game. However, if you weren’t a fan to begin with, you probably won’t be won over with this expansion.

While The Biggest Loser: Ultimate Workout may seem like another fitness knock-off, the fact it has so much health-related content packed into it, along with mostly good interactivity with the Kinect, make us feel like it deserves a recommendation. This Loser will make you feel like a winner-if you're strong enough.

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.

With the witty banter, humorous storyline, and excellent cast of characters, Jolly Rover manages to create an identity of its own.

FaceBreaker’s gameplay is pretty simple, meaning that gamers of all types will be able to get into the game and feel comfortable with the controls very quickly. However, the overall experience does feel a bit shallow and might not hold your interest for very long.

Whether plowing through breakable walls, spinning along a corkscrew tunnel, or frantically running toward the finish line after grabbing Sonic's trademark power-up (his running shoes), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is all but a non-stop thrill-ride.

THQ has done a fantastic job of cherry-picking the best elements of wrestling with some of the most recognizable characters and stars in a visually fantastic package. Unfortunately, it's a good foundation with some major holes. The lack of select wrestlers, missing match variety, anemic campaigns and pointless create-a-character undermine a very good wrestling game/fighting game fusion.

Not for the squeamish.

Newer gamers who haven't played the original might find this game to not be worth the trouble due to the difficulty.

Certainly not a "must-have" title, nor will it offer you a solid gaming experience, but it does give one the ability to create some very slick roller coasters, and give them a fairly realistic ride on them.

The issues with the camera, no map, long backtracking at times to get to an item shop or safe zone, and bad AI indoors hindered what could have been a really great experience.

Has a surprising amount of depth for a GBA action RPG. The leveling system is pretty unique and engaging and the forging system is very deep. However, the controls are clumsy and frustrating and the teammate AI is very lousy.

This game isn't flashy, no stellar graphics to oooooh and aaaaah over, no damage (which would have made the game much more realistic), and sounds that could use some work...BUT, it is a good racing game with a strong and reliable game engine that works very well and makes up for the other short comings.

While it’s not as gorgeous as the next-generation version, Quantum of Solace for the PS2 is certainly able to handle the action just as well with enough moments to keep the game exciting. The game does have its share of problems that show up often but in the end there is more good here than bad.

Be sure you know your kid's gaming styles and preferences before picking up this game, because if your kids don't like fast, timed arcade play, then they won't like this game. For the rest of the young crowd, though, this may be just the ticket.

My biggest gripe of all is that there are no hand-to-hand options at all. No knife, no punching, kicking, screaming, plain and simple you are just out there with your good looks. For a game that has such a big emphasis on covert ops, I found this to be a bit frustrating.

A good version that offers choices in terms of gameplay and difficulty, but doesn't have many options in terms of graphics or sound.

Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces fully captures the antithetical beauty of aerial warfare and matches it with an engaging story about wealth, greed and their reliance on death. Flaws aside, at $29.99, it’s the best flight game on Wii.

The Hardy Boys are having a good time on the Royal Express, and so will any player who picks up this game. History buffs will especially appreciate all the little details on the train and the surrounding locations of Europe. A nice portable experience with two well-known young sleuths, Joe and Frank Hardy.

Any good puzzle type of game is a welcome addition to a family’s game library. The interface will take a bit of explaining for young kids, and the automatic save has the potential to be frustrating for some. The tower defense design is good, though, and presents kids plenty of puzzle-solving fun.

With this title, so much depends on the song selection and this release will do fine in that regard.

Considering the joy that the multiplayer options bring and the sheer feel of the PlayStation Move working just right with all of the activities (even with the repetitive recalibration), Sports Champions is a winner.

A good deal for the money, which can be as little or as much as needed, as it's designed on games actually played, not a monthly fee. It's the real game, with nothing hokey added. Fans should be pleased overall.

Think of Herdy Gerdy as being the "Moulin Rouge" of video games; some people will love it, while others won't be able to figure out why.

The sluggish pace may be a bit too much for gamers who need a fast and furious racing game, but those with the patience to get past the speed issue will find a good arcade-style racer with some great ideas.

If you like to solve interactive puzzles and can appreciate depth over flashy cosmetics, then you will get a lot out of this game. It's an adventure ... with a more human character than .... well, Lara Croft. Al is just ... Al. Balding, nerdy and all.

While the original formula remains the same year after year, WWE SmackDown Vs. Raw 2008 is still a fun game that does manage to pull off some new moves on the PS3.

Fast, frantic, and highly entertaining gameplay – from the first Power Stone. Power Stone 2 isn’t nearly as exciting. The sequel is worth playing, but know that this is not worth buying as a "collection." Buy it for the original if you love the original.

It’s cool, entertaining, and strangely addictive.

It's also challenging enough and offers 16 different characters to play as for an incredible amount of replayability. It is, however, a tough game to finesse and therefore people who aren’t sure if they like the genre itself might do well to give it a rent first.

With a few improvements over the first game and the lack of online play, this title might not have what it takes to go head-to-head with better Xbox racing games like Forza or Project Gotham Racing but it's a nice alternative to the more serious racing game.

The mission structure is a bit simplistic and the game still has some nasty bugs that take away a lot of the joy.

From the revised control method to the innovative level design, purists will be pretty happy with the outcome of this game. Too bad there is no paddle-plug in for the Wii remote.

I wish I could give a higher rating, but this particular episode is just too short and easy.

This is a specific type of game that is for a specific type of gamer, one who likes puzzles for the sake of puzzles, and doesn’t require much story to go with it.

The name alone will bring many gamers to the shelves scooping this one up, but really it’s just another decent FPS. For the price it’s not a bad deal considering all the choices in this genre.

SimBin’s Xbox 360 exclusive offers the same brand of depth as its PC counterparts, albeit with a few missteps.

The quest is very, very short, but high replay value and a well-utilized license make it the perfect stocking stuffer for any Grinch fan.

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.

Playing Echo is fun, but the game is fairly short, and the puzzles aren't always interesting, although many of them are engaging.

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

The decision to make it strictly Move-enabled is odd, but there is no denying that the game possesses enough challenge and charm for fans and newcomers to give this light-based puzzler a chance.

Ovaldog gives BCT Commander a big two thumbs up! If your Hard-core, go get it!

It’s just too bad that EA Sports hasn’t really stepped up the game’s minor faults from last year. Still, this one is worth the purchase price.

"18 Wheeler" was good, but The King of Route 66 is great; it's vastly improved over the original, with a huge increase in gameplay quality.

The game has some issues, namely from an awkward camera and some irksome AI. However, there is still an impressive level of polish for such a departure, considering the impressive control elements.

If there was ever an example of a new game that should have been released as a downloadable game, Shadowrun is a top candidate.

A good children's game that will provide some amusement for young girls. With more content and variety, it could have been a great game, but it still compares well to other similar games.

It hurts to say it but, “the need for speed” is lacking in this latest rendition.

The limited color-palette and massive levels make the journey less enticing for shmup score-hounds, but there is no denying that Sin & Punishment: Star Successor is one of the Wii's finest action games to date.

While it won’t revolutionize the first-person shooter genre or change the way we see online multiplayer shooter action, Section 8 sets out to show gamers a good time it is accomplishes that mission successfully.

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.

A fun, interesting game that delivers. However, a few things keep it from being a great game, mostly due to an unevenness of difficulty across the board and the resulting lack of access to some of the games this may cause.

Somewhere between Shinobi 1.5 and a full-fledged Shinobi sequel. Nightshade has all of the Shinobi gameplay elements you grew to love two years ago. It also has new moves, a better camera targeting system (better meaning improved – it's still not perfect, and will likely drive you nuts from time to time), and more enemies to kill than you could ever desire.

The change to an RPG style of play has worked very well, and we've had a great time leveling up our teams.

Offers a great and versatile combo system, interactive environments, and an overall refreshing take on fighting games. However, the controls are pretty cumbersome, and can lead to unnecessary frustration.

Besides the graphics not being real impressive and the character voices not being original this is one of our favorites of the Monsters, Inc. games.

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

In terms of sheer amount of characters and stages, The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match offers up the most comprehensive KOF title to date for an affordable price. Sadly, SNK's perpetually poor network code hinders online play and it lacks the Striker and Multi-Shift gameplay that would have made it a truly complete experience.

By far, one of the best Inuyasha games you’ll play and one deeply engrossing role-playing game for your Nintendo DS.

The game tells a compelling story, is loaded with exciting combat, and is chock full of memorable moments. It could have used a bit more polish in certain areas, true, but as an interactive summer blockbuster, Legendary delivers.

The action can sometimes be too scripted and some levels lack that intensity of the PC original, but we're still looking at a fun time at the frontlines.

If you like suspense...if you are prone to let your imagination run wild...if you have the patience of Job...then you will find your Majestic experience to be fulfilling and exciting!

An enjoyable game that's both enthralling and humorous.

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

A good collection of activities for the pre-teen crowd, which can use some good software that's amusing. This game compares well to others that are similar in focus.

For the older set, this program sparkles with solid graphics, 360-degree panoramic viewing, a nice audio track and great puzzles. Like other DreamCatcher titles, it is an interactive game that disdains reflexive play, intrigues the mind and is decidedly nonviolent.

One great looking game on the Xbox as opposed to the PS2 version. The jungles of the Lost Land will have you admiring the scenery the minute you step out into your first mission.

Somewhat typical of arcade-style console games, though the graphical elements are quite good.

A good collection in terms of quality, and they are all easily accessible and easy to learn.

Although it ultimately comes down to personal taste, not only did I not enjoy the police campaign whatsoever, it actually greatly detracted from my overall experience with Hot Pursuit.

If, and when, download content ever arrives for Box Office Smash, then the replay value of the title will increase. But as it stands right now, it’s great to bring out when you have friends over for a party.

On single-player, Blur is an average racing game with a powered-up twist. Repeating races and receiving beautiful cars that remain untouched due to the lack of customization gets old fast. The outdated rave-vibe, including the music and menus, don’t do the presentation any favors either. As a multiplayer title, Blur is absolutely exhilarating.

This is an above average action game with the added bonus of the Star Wars theme. The fighting is mostly good and the story is compelling. The controls could be tighter and the camera viewpoint better designed.

Though Nail'd might not offer a deep career mode, or crazy over the top stunts, it nails an incredible sense of speed and has out of this world courses that might have you reaching for the nearest altitude sickness pills.

For the puzzle fanatic, Hands On: Tangrams has plenty to love, yet it’s simple enough for newcomers to pick up and play. Some innovative gameplay modes could spice things up considerably, but staying true to the original game has brought unquestionably successful results.

This game is a hoot! However, it seemed shorter than previous episodes from Season One and was not overly challenging. I didn’t like the profanity, either. But I did enjoy playing the game, and the whole Santa theme was highly amusing.

An all-encompassing, time-consuming, I-just-can't-stop-playing-it kind of game.

Surprisingly a solid FPS game, offering simplistic controls and a fun gameplay environment.

The linear nature of the title will hamper replayability. However, if you are able to overlook that, you may just find a nice little reminder about the style of gaming that lead to where we are now.

An excellent starting point that contains a 32-song setlist with a good variety of dance moves to perform.

It's a shame to see a game that could have been spectacular turn out to be just a little bit above average.

Tons of game modes combined with the Grand Adventure story mode makes or a complete all around package.

This could have been a dark and edgy game, but rather than unleashing this beast, the developers pulled back to make it a standard tactical turn-based combat game.

The humor is just right, and kids will enjoy the bright colors and the puzzles. However, the game is short the first time through, and there's not much reason to play again.
