The implementation of a few new features just might be enough for fans of the original Outbreak to warrant a purchase, but if you like your gameplay to be slightly more evolved than your brain-dead enemies, you’ll find little satisfaction from playing this game.

An interesting new take on the Tak franchise, Mojo Mistake should entertain newcomers as well as the existing fan base.

Far from perfect but it certainly does a great job of bringing all the elements surrounding this sport to life.

If the developers put some additional time sprucing up the graphics engine, the controls, and the difficulty level, this would have been a game to seriously contend with.

It’s faults do not quite damage the game’s basic appeal and while the controls could have used some much needed polish, there’s just enough fun to make this a really good time in the Wild West.

Infinite Undiscovery is a decent game that has the potential to be more than what it is. This is a great weekend rental game, but nothing more than that.

It’s a recommended must buy for Yu-Gi-Oh! fans since it’s a refreshing take in the video-game medium that breaks away from the droning card-battling games of the past.

I enjoyed roaming around, but started getting tired of the dungeon crawling pretty quickly.

A really decent beat 'em-up game. It is a shame that the developers didn't include a co-op mode, which this game screams for it. If you are a fan of this series, then you will enjoy this game.

Lacks the gameplay that would take it over the top and make it an incredible experience. This game is good, it is not great.

You could do worse than to find a game that presents a set of challenges like this one. Each game is different and if you don't have the means to play the real game with your family and friends then the A.I. is always there, lurking, mocking if you will.

Given the emphasis on storytelling and single-player action, The Force Unleashed is tragically flawed execution of a great concept.

While edgy and slightly humorous, Whiplash loses its fresh platformer goodness way too early in the game.

While it does a nice job graphically, elements such as the soundtrack and limiting gameplay may limit its success.

Gun, overall, isn't terribly fun to play. But the story is definitely entertaining, the game looks fine, it sounds great, and the Wild West feel is pretty authentic.

Complements "DDR" in the same way that strawberry jam complements peanut butter and bread. Peanut butter is fine by itself. Mix it with some homemade jam and you may never eat one without the other again.

It’s lacking in customization options, but there’s still a good deal of content to partake in. The episode-style campaign is an absolute pleasure and will no doubt please fans of the show.

Sure it still is a fast and furious racing game with a lot to offer but this is stuff we’ve seen before.

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

If you are a PlayStation-only owner, you will find this game challenging, though not quite in the same league as Madden Football.

Neo Contra’s greatest fault is that it ends before its time. Second, it’s a bit on the easy side when compared to other run-‘n’-gun shooters.

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.

A wonderfully freaky good time with plenty of high-flying action and humor, although the game does feel a bit incomplete in a lot of places.

It might not satisfy quite like the third-person shooter action games of late but the game offers lengthy missions that just get better the further you go. It’s a shame that many of the original game’s flaws return in full force in this sequel.

It’s a solid adaptation that should entertain the younger crowd who fell in love with the film.

It’s nothing mind-blowing, and it’s almost identical to the original, but Cake Mania 2 is still a fun way to kill some time with your DS.

At worst this game still remains a somewhat enjoyable experience thanks to the deep customizability of creating rooms.

If you are into DBZ and haven’t picked this game up yet ... do so immediately.

If you’re a point and click game nut, then add an extra point to all of the scores. The game offers an easy to use control scheme, good graphics, above average music and an interesting story. For gamers that just don’t have the patience anymore for a point and click game, then this definitely isn’t your game.

Safe, sterile and redundant.

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.

Voice recognition, individual career mode, and create a dunk put NBA Shootout on the right path. Improving the player and referee AI will take the journey further.

Stuntman: Ignition is a leap forward for the series but the game is still a lesson in frustrating trail-and-error gameplay that might not sit well with many gamers.

If you love Nick cartoons and you have a friend with the game, you will probably love this game. However, if you’re like me and have fond memories of Nickelodeon shows long gone, and detest the button-mashing formula, then you will probably not enjoy this game.

Eve of Destruction has all the twisted metal action fans of vehicular carnage will love, but its repetitious races and awkward controls just hold back what could have been a great demolition derby game.

I was pleasantly surprised and then challenged at how well a game based on a movie was playing; good controls and level design make this a good find.

This is a nice little program, certainly not all that challenging, but delightful for its animation of a benign alien creature and its charming ways.

The ambience of the game just sets the mood perfectly with its darkness and oppression.

It’s an old-school brawler with all the right moves and players despite the awkward 360 controller scheme and the seriously flawed online multiplayer mode. Really, consider this $10 or 800 points well spent.

While the single-player game is fun, the multiplayer cooperative quests are where it really is entertaining.

It's likely to really impress strict adventure fans - but perhaps feel a little dull to faster paced gamers.

Away: Shuffle Dungeon has a lot of charm and a great central gameplay system, but the gameplay is too shallow and simple to ever really draw the player in. It’s a cute, simple dungeon crawler with a great gimmick, but unfortunately it never really becomes anything more.

Very good implementation of a helicopter flight sim, though skimpy on the extra details like mission briefings, alternate gameplay modes, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I love an engrossing game just as much as the next gamer. But a game like Desktop Tower Defense, a game that is easy to pick up and play for an hour or two with no extended commitment, is a real treat.

Still somewhat disturbing and suitably creepy, Manhunt 2 still manages to provide a chilling good time on the PSP. With decent controls and loads of stealthy kills, it might still generate plenty of controversy anyway but more mature gamers will find this worth playing if they enjoyed the PS2/Xbox original.

Vanguard literally drops you into the middle of some truly spectacular and thrilling skirmishes but it also mixes these exciting moments with some really dull ones that slow the action down.

The fast-paced and intense offense showcases the style of play found in the AFL. Gamers wanting a deep and extensive football experience will be disappointed.

Mojo! is not going to blow people away with its gameplay. This is rather simple, but addictive. The courses are challenging and the environments are brilliantly designed.

An exercise in precision attacks that are done easily enough, that is if your hands don't cramp up from all the button pushing.

If you’re a hardcore strategy gamer craving a deep and involved strategy game then you won’t find it here. Yet if you want to relive the glory days of gaming then don’t miss out in playing Populous again.

Fairly easy controls that actually respond differently between the different corvette models AND when upgrades are done on the cars. An easy to use setup that racing fans will feel very familiar with.

The learning curve is high but don’t let that discourage you from picking up Ultimate Ninja 2. My favorite portion of the game is the Ultimate Road story mode; it provided a real purpose to finish the game.

The real question here is whether or not Bionic Commando lives up to its beloved predecessor. The short answer is no, but that doesn’t mean that action fans won’t have a good time swinging around the city.

A truly beautiful-looking game, it just lacks originality in storyline and challenge.

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.

Though it sets up nicely with a strong storyline, it really just becomes another mission-based shooter game.

Diner Dash fits right at home on the Nintendo DS and it remains to be one of the most repetitive yet highly addictive games that shouldn’t be missed. The touchscreen features could have been a bit better but compared to the PSP version this one is by far the best portable version of this game.

Just like the show, Jackass: the Game is a guilty pleasure. It’s sophomoric, lowest-common-denominator entertainment to be sure, but that doesn’t keep it from being fun.

The use of some power-ups makes the task slightly easier, but this game is challenging.

An arcade RPG clone of "Gauntlet Dark Legacy."

A game that should be reviled and admired at the same time. I kept wanting to despise the game but found myself playing it more and more.

The Batmobile levels alone will keep you well entertained and the game captures the film's dark mood well enough. This one certainly deserves a weekend rental for sure.

The clever things these worms can do is impressive - parachuting, calling in airstrikes, blowing up explosive objects for an even bigger bang is all overshadowed by a really ugly aiming system. It's a crying shame.

A game I can recommend to any parent. Not only does the game feature a good lesson in moderation it also is a pretty decent game. Fans of the show will absolutely love it and even kids that don’t watch the show should enjoy the action.

If you are aching for a good and highly challenging strategy game, then look notfurther then UFO: Aftershock.

Fans of Dr Seuss, the Cat in the Hat, and 2-D side scrolling platform titles will ultimate get the most enjoyment out of this.

There are a lot of things to do in this game, but at times it seems really scattered, meaning that LucasArts came up with a great idea, but it feels like they didn’t fully realize their vision, and the gameplay reflects that.

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.

A simplistic arcade game that features wonderful cartoon graphics.

An outrageously funny and extremely naughty game that bends the rules but still falls a bit flat due to its repetitive nature.

It just is not the kind of game that will blow racing fans away.

A button masher with the graphical appeal of messing up your opponent’s face in predetermined ways, FaceBreaker is entertaining for a while, definitely fast paced and brimming with solid graphical elements.

For the $20 price tag it may provide a few hours of gaming fun to you FPS fans out there, but there may not be much more to it than that so buy with caution.

The thing that is wrong with this game is that it is getting caught up in the technological limitations of the system.

Madden NFL 07 for the DS offers a ton of features, touch screen support and wireless play to make it a solid portable football experience. However the frustrating AI, learning curve when using the touch screen and blocky 3D graphics slows the game down.

The controls are easy to get into and figure out, and the option to play the story or just do whatever you want to do makes it a definite that there are lots of hours of gameplay to be found here. The controls were clunky.

Laevatein Tactics has everything tactical fans expect from the genre, and not much else. I won’t be so harsh as to call the game “forgettable”, but there are far more unique and interesting genre offerings already available for the DS. Other than an unwieldy name, Laevatein Tactics hasn’t got much to distinguish itself from the pack.

This is more entertaining than Free Time and the apartment roommate element spices it up a touch.

It's a good title for your young gamer or even for those players who like their adventures a little more light and funny, because this game is certainly that, funny.

A few flaws prevent this game from becoming a sure-fire hit, but fans of the series will eat this game up.

It's more complicated than it needs to be with the lock-on function of fighting enemies. It is an adventure, it is a fighter, it's a FPS - it is the Shamwow!

The short levels, enormously goofy bosses, and the typical scenarios are just what the Mega Man fan ordered. The game is super-sized with new weapons and character actions.

Overall this is a pretty good package, that despite some glaring faults still manages to be pretty entertaining, especially for young baseball enthusiasts. Youngsters will respond well to the cartoony graphics and arcade/casual style of play.

A game with ridiculous physics, hard-to-master controls and a repetitious event scheme.

The missions themselves are quite interesting and fun and admittedly I did enjoy them despite some of the shortcomings.

The mini-games turned out to be better than the platforming aspects of the single-player campaign. Their fresh and original in comparison to other licensed video games based on animated films.

While some of the humor may not be overly appropriate for younger players, this is a family-style outing that will certainly entertain.

The camera views are awful, and Taz many times will end up getting into a corner where the view is totally blocked. There are buttons to toggle the camera view, but this is awkward to do while running, and it often just spins the camera around in a 180 degree arc.

An entertaining military FPS game that can be a frustrating and aggravating at times.

If its a well-conceived tactical strategy game that you crave then Dai Senryaka VII will definitely be right up your alley. Sure it's a bit complex and it can get frustratingly hard at times but for those looking for a real challenge in this particular genre will find this one highly enjoyable.

The game is extremely repetitive, but for what it offers it is nice. The controls are really tight and after you get acquainted with how to fly the ship you will find yourself flying like an ace in no time.

While Untamed is thin in terms of depth, the gameplay is solid.

Hardcore fans of simulation football should probably stay clear of Blitz: The League II unless they’re looking for a cool storyline. However, anybody else who is even moderately interested in football should take a liking to this Blitz game.

For Xbox and PSP owners that already have the Reloaded Collection you might want to wait or skip Volume 2.

A perfect game to spend a few hours with but serves little purpose outside of being an entertaining jaunt that is over too quickly.

Its anime cut scenes are superlative, in-game graphics alright, and gameplay a little dull.

Hardcore snowboarding fans will find it too easy while casual gamers will hate the forced style. The style and cutscenes I found refreshening [sic].

The game is creation driven and making new goofy monsters will appeal to most and the sport like games will please those parents who want a less violent title for their young children.
