The content is solid and the gameplay fun, and the inclusion of social strategy planning is innovative. However, for an expansion, there isn’t a whole lot new or different.

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.

This is purely a reflexive arcade shooter. If you are looking for a light straightforward shooter, this may be your ticket to the target-and-shoot entertainment you crave.

I thought the humor alone was worth the price of admission. Every thing that Harry does or says is over-exaggerated to the point of absurd silliness.

Really easy to pick up and play. The controls are very easy and responsive. The mini puzzles that are presented to the gamers are easy enough to understand yet still provide a nice challenge.

If you’re a die-hard adventure game nut then you can add an additional point to the score just because it’s an adventure game. For the rest of you out there just remember that sometimes being good enough isn’t that good.

Tecmo’s gridiron throwback is as addictive and fun as it was in 1989.

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

While the clashing adds new depth to the racing, this game just isn't as refined as it could have been.

Dying has never been a fun part of gaming, and dying because of a poor camera system and not a lack of skill is even worse.

Suspense is what makes movies and games scary. Alone 4 is seriously lacking this important attribute.

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!

It's the perfect car trip game. I haven't been on a car trip in years, and I haven't been on a plane since I was 12, but I have been in plenty of boring situations. Desert Strike would have been the perfect solution to all of them.

The best thing about All-Star Baseball 2002 is definitely the gameplay.

A good follow up to We Ski. The addition of snowboarding is good but doesn’t really add anything to the overall gameplay experience except being a nice perk. The larger mountains are a good addition as well.

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown is a really fun game, but it is held back by one major flaw: its length. It takes only a couple of hours to beat this game if you have any gameplay experience.

I would recommend that everyone experience the brilliant design of this game and the witty dialogue, especially if you're a fan of the cartoon; however, the mini-games (the meat of the game) do not hold up for very long. There is about 2 hours of gameplay in Duck Amuck, and whether that warrants a $30 purchase is up to you.

Unfortunately, Outlaw Tennis missed the mark in the humor department but there's still plenty of tease and fun to be had here. If it's a deep tennis game you're looking for this isn't it, but it's still worth a rental.

Tunguska is a decent adventure game, but one that doesn’t rise above the crowd in any significant way.

Prey the Stars is a case of all sizzle, no steak; that is, underneath the cute, quirky premise and presentation, it simply doesn’t have gameplay that’s compelling enough to keep you interested.

Ash is a great character and this is one of the better $19.99 games out there but without Bruce being on board the way he needs to be, the game is sorely lacking that special something.

Sure, both expansions don’t really do anything uniquely different but they are still fun campaigns chock full of bullets and frights.

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.

By far one of the most unusual and surprisingly satisfying wrestling games and those fighting fans that don't mind a little tease will highly enjoy this one.

It is sooooo arcadish, the same old tired motorcycle engine whine that has been used in every arcade bike game for the last 15 years was there in full crescendo. I almost found myself looking for a slot to stuff another quarter into.

Overall Wolfenstein is a fun and fast paced game that will provide FPS fans enjoyment, but there’s probably just not enough after the first time through to keep you coming back for more.

Performing stunts is easy -- almost too easy, if you ask me.

The console controls just don’t work well for this kind of game, and not having the ability to pause during a battle and order set jobs to be done really caused some frustration and just seemed like autopilot fighting until one group was dead.

Square Enix has their attention elsewhere. This is quite evident. The Last Remnant might satisfy the diehards or those looking for an RPG fix, but many people will find this game very mild and less than expected.

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.

Lost Planet is a great game, but the PC translation suffers quite a bit due to some conversion issues and strange production choices. If you have an Xbox 360, then definitely pick up that version over the PC port.

It’s nice to have a streamlined, intuitive interface, but at the same time, part of the attraction for city-building games is the management aspect.

The gameplay tried to incorporate many different genres into one game, but it wasn’t quite there. It came very close though.

A pretty decent stealth-action game. While there are a number of cool gizmos and action-packed sequences true to the Mission: Impossible theme, its imperfections will leave gamers just a bit disappointed.

Even with its share of problems, S.L.A.I. is able to deliver a mech game that is heavy on the action and loaded with all the things mech fans could ever ask for in a game.

Morning’s Wrath is an indie RPG with Ultima-style graphics, Diablo 2-esque gameplay but a compelling central character and a solid story.

The new music really adds more flavor to the Rock Band franchise. Best of all players will be able to get all music at a reduced price in-comparison to downloading each of the songs separately online. If you enjoy Country music then this purchase is a no brainer.

I could hardly play it without pulling out my hair from the game's lack of a tutorial, non plot and heavy strategies. I almost would have preferred if they had actually put some RPG elements into the game like they led you to believe.

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.

The biggest attraction to NeoGeo Battle Coliseum is the character selection, but everything else is below average.

The main problem with this game is that the controls are not as polished as they could have been and lack of online mode hurts it.

Rises above the game's original roots to bring a game that's both refreshingly humorous as well as downright enjoyable.

Comparing it to other cart-racing games, it is definitely one of the most fun-filled experiences you can find in that particular genre. But basing it solely on it’s value in the game industry, renting it just makes more sense.

Sure, it's got the gorgeous looks of a supermodel, and enough cool effects to keep your eyes entertained for hours. But underneath all that makeup is a deep, less-realistic simulation racer that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

The brains over brawns gameplay make Disaster Report a fun and unique title that'll keep you hooked from start to finish.

While the overall style of the game is similar to what has been done before, the uniqueness of the driving skills, spurred by the vehicles, adds an interesting element that racing fans might enjoy.

It is, at heart, one of the best unconventional brawling titles out there. UFC fans, though, will be disappointed by the fact that the game hardly ever “beefs” up the televised-style presentation to make the fights seem as memorable as they are in real life.

The bad thing about this game is that it is extremely easy, and at times, will still feel a bit redundant.

Jam Sessions 2 might not be the prettiest package on the shelves, but there’s no denying the appeal of a more authentic guitar simulation over the usual riffraff. Hopefully things will be tightened up for the next version, because right now, JS2 feels like two separate games – and not in a good way.

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.

If I had to give advice to the development team, it would be to allow players more freedom in the off-season. Only allowing them two things to do between idiotic load screens is awful.

The unfriendly bits clearly out weigh the good ones. Which is sad because it looks like there was real potential here with the decent graphics, too bad the overall experience left me feeling a bit drab.

A beautiful spectacle, a colossal challenge, and a lack of action and excitement. The visuals captivate; the gameplay frustrates.

Monsters vs. Aliens starts out very strong, but quickly falters due the constant repetition in the gameplay. Fans of the movie might enjoy this one for the first few hours, but those who stick with it longer than that will be eager to see the credits roll.

A good start. The AI needs to be tweaked, and the controls fine-tuned. The game also needs to work away from one-time shots off the pass having a higher chance of scoring than breakaways.

The game is relatively short, but still is a delight for the eyes. The story is familiar but presented very well, and has broad appeal – just like the characters.

The graphics are outta this world and with the different driving views, you can get a really good perspective of what it's like to be in the driver's seat of a real race car. The instruction booklet is concise and to the point.

Any Crash Bandicoot fan would be a fool not to go out and buy this game. I started playing at 2am one night and did not stop until three in the afternoon!

It is lacking mostly in the game play department, which frankly, isn't very exciting. It presents little variability and this allows it to get old fairly quick.

The light hearted silliness of Fenimore Fillmore’s antics is a welcome addition to the genre. The gag reel is tops and I wouldn’t mind a sequel one bit.

Octomania is fun but there isn't enough to it. Align some Octopi, form combos, repeat.

Those parents who bought the Wii for there kids may get a kick out of it, and it is only $29.99, but it is old and dated and we deserve something much newer.

The game features a tutorial if you so desire, and they make it a nice learning curve as you work your way up the casinos. Nice friendly interface that takes minutes to master.

Having a longer game-time, plus some fun mini-games, would have been better, but this is still a nicely designed game.

A good RTS game that is held up by performance and graphical issues.

A cool-looking racing game that ultimately crumbles under the weight of its own slow pace.

Taking the game for what it offers makes for a nice diversion in the single-player RPG genre. The game has a few failings, certainly, and those occur in repetitious, grinding battle sequences, a storyline that takes a few hits as you move deeper into it, and characters that are a tad flawed. While a lot of the action is managed by the game’s AI, this is still an entertaining vision.

A good, involving mystery adventure that most players will enjoy for the story and the puzzles.

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

Some solid action could keep fans entertained for a while, although this one will not be as fondly remembered as the film on which it’s based in years to come.

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.

Considered solely as an adventure game, Evil Under the Sun is a slightly above-average mystery game. The characters are interesting, the dialogue engaging, and the puzzles are fun. However, when considered as a homage to Agatha Christie, it leaves much to be desired.

The idea is there and the graphical quality is solid, but the game misses on the setup to bowling the ball. Fix that and this download will be a decent diversion.

It’s not the prettiest, nor the best sounding game around, far from it, but the gameplay gives it a heart and soul a lot of technically superior games can only dream of, making Excitebike relevant all these years after its original release.

Don't get this game specifically for the driving or the shooting sequences. Rather, pick it up if you appreciate a solid story based action game with the mimicry of "GTA" (without all of the bells and whistles).

Varied alien races with different needs and requests means each play through will require different strategies, giving the game a great amount of replay value.

A very nice implementation of classic Frogger. Great for younger players, this is a good product in a sea of recent mediocrity.

Dark Sector is a pleasant enough distraction for any fan of action or shooting games. It’s not likely to keep you busy for too long, since there’s little replay value to be found.

While it certainly lacks in the game mode department and the presentation can be a bit disappointing at times, the games plays great and does a great job of bringing us a good sense of what Arena football is all about.

Before playing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, you should first be a huge Harry Potter fan. Second, you should have a high tolerance for backtracking and mini-game repetition. Third, you must be able to enjoy a game that isn't challenging (some players just can't do that).

Flashes of brilliance that are quickly snuffed by uninspired course selection, lack of online play and improper physics.

Unfortunately, the PS2 port of this title suffers from a blurry visual presentation and occasional slowdown that is not present in the Xbox or Gamecube version.

By combining a solid space flight/combat game with a solid mission structure, Battlestar gives players a fun experience.

This is one game which you will not only need a steady hand but also an eagle eye.

The dual control stick gameplay is an interesting twist on traditional methods of control, but after the novelty wears off so too will your patience for its overly simplistic nature.

Minimal load times, fast-paced on-the-ice action and a steady array of power-ups make for a game that plays well, controls well and has only a slight learning curve. What hurts the game is the lack of game options - there are really only three ways to play it and two are online.

Hardcore survival-horror fans will get a kick (and a few good scares) out of Obscure: The Aftermath for the PSP despite the few hardware evils that hold it back. That said there are a number of good things about the game but only for those loyal survival-horror game fans that don’t mind the flaws.

Whether you fall in the target audience or are someone who’s dreamed of running their own business, there’s definitely some entertainment to be found here.

If you have a choice between Spirit Caller for the DS and "Tag Force" for PSP, go with "Tag Force." It’s a fresher and more thoroughly designed game. Spirit Caller is still worth playing, but it’s not as exciting after "Nightmare Troubadour."

Aside from the fact that the game can get a bit repetitive and is rather on the short side, Wolf of the Battlefield is a retro-styled shooter that’s hard to put down.

I think that the folks over at DreamCatcher may be on to something with the cool location and the introduction of multiplayer play, but the final end product left me wanting so much more.

While better analog control would have made a huge difference to the gameplay, what is here is enough to give NASCAR fans a good enough reason to buy this game.

The game is befitting the license. Good job to A2M and Disney for not providing us with the same drivel that normally coincides with these types of games/shows. Any High School Musical fan would be proud to have this title.

A good shooter with a great storyline and a great sense of atmosphere. However, the too-linear level design, predictable AI, and bugginess bog the game down.

It doesn't have depth or any mind-blowing mechanics, but the destroy-everything-in-sight gameplay is more rewarding than you'd expect.

Light years better than the original game that was released last year. The controls are much better, the visuals are very similar to TV show, and it is an overall improvement.

Three types of laser-blasting fun: on foot, in a tank, and in a spaceship. The first two are pretty close in controls and level layout. They differ in speed and weapon type, but not much else. The last one – the spaceship – is a slow clone of the top-down, side-scrolling space shooter genre. It’s only fun you have something to blast.

With interesting levels that throw many bonuses into the mix and an assortment of fun 007 gadgets to play with, the game is certainly true to the console game it was ported from.
