The graphical elements are very nice, and somewhat simplistic, and growing your character with armor is enjoyable. Unfortunately, the gameplay holds this back and the sound effects should have been discontinued 10 years ago, which is when this game would have been a solid performer.

Just isn’t as polished or fun as it could have been.

Good idea with the mission deployment but there are too many things that pop up keeping this title from being really good; as it is, it is passable.

While destroying and smashing things in a non-bloody way is always fun to do, this game doesn't offer much to keep players' attention in the long run.

A platform game that just passes muster, which is still better then the Iron Man and Hulk titles.

For super fans of Super Stardust HD for the PS3, this title is going to be a little bit of a let down. There aren’t as many modes and the control difference is noticeable and a slight hindrance to enjoyment.

Smash Court Tennis 3 scores decent marks for its excitement level but loses points on gameplay responsiveness, problematic AI, and a troublesome presentation.

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.

Top Spin 3 for the Wii is a case of missed opportunity. The control elements are there, but rather than give the game the staying power of the other next-gen releases, the game modes seem more geared to those who want to invest small amounts of time rather than settle in and stay a while.

A decent game that could have a lot more with better variety of missions, more attention to graphic details, and so on. What this game does succeed at is the amount of customization for your Mech that you will pilot.

Veteran players will probably tire of it after a couple of days since you can’t really do anything with changing out cards or making decks until after a long period of winning, and playing against what seems like the same cards over and over again may get dull.

For the price of $29.99, Super Collapse 3 is a decent game. Sure, I have encountered better puzzles as of late (Puzzle Quest), but Super Collapse 3 delivers enough satisfaction for the price of entry.

Shaun White’s first snowboarding game is a mess that misses the entire idea of what snowboarding is all about.

The enemy AI is so poor that fighting becomes repetitive . . . and boring.

Rogue Agent had all the makings of a genuinely stellar first-person shooter but it followed in the same footsteps of the disappointing console version.

It is a pretty decent first effort by DP3 to try and capture the surprisingly complex and monster/alien filled world of Ben 10.

Monster House draws inspiration from the myriad array of Mature rated survival horror games all while keeping it rated E10+. It’s a fun, scary romp that’s perfect for fans of the movie and tykes that like goosebumps.

Has a number of mini-games but unfortunately not all of them make for a particularly engaging or challengingly fun package.

If you have played this game on the home consoles, playing this version will be a disappointment. However, taken in context of what is offered here, the game does a decent job of portraying the characters.

Let's Tap is one of those games that had the potential for greatness but ultimately couldn't achieve anything above a Wii remote feature we didn't know existed.

I think more production needs to go into the sequel. They have created a decent foundation, but need to sharpen things up by making it a bit deeper and having those stories fleshed out some more.

I was frustrated by its slow, aggravating gameplay, but I still enjoyed it enough to keep playing and I hated to see it end.

The battles quickly become repetitive and really boring considering the game seldom changes the take-out-the-big-boss formula.

A viciously twisted game that isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty but it falls short when it comes to the challenges.

I expect most people will hate this game, but Barnyard Blast is a quirky throwback to the horror games of the late eighties. Those who played and cherished those games back then might find something to like about this scruffy, flawed little game.

This is a decent collection of varied activities with a popular character, most of which are fun to play. There is a good variety here, with a little something for everyone.

Mana Khemia 2 is a step up from its predecessor, but it still doesn't live up to the series it spawned from (Atelier Iris).

For its variety and frequent nods to classic gaming, Power Rangers Super Legends is a good game. It’s also a very repetitive one and is only recommended to those who want their brawlers, space shooters, and mech games to be underdeveloped and combined into one product.

Snappy graphics and zany sound, but just not enough challenge and depth, still, a worthy entry in the party game mix.

With all the right elements in place, Legends of Wrestling II had all the makings of a great wrestling title but its faults take away from the fun.

It’s not that this game is terrible, just kind of unimpressive and full of things that have been done better elsewhere.

If you’ve got $30.00 (online play is free by the way) and can handle some old school graphics and sound and deal with some learning pains and aggravation … you’ll probably have fun.

Disappointing and uneventful, .hack//G.U. Vol. 3: Redemption wasn’t the last chapter I had envisioned for the series.

Not even close to matching the experience of the X-Men movies, the comic book, or even the classic X-Men game released for the Genesis.

Disney's Meet the Robinsons gameplay is nothing that you haven’t seen in many other third person action games. You will do all the normal tasks that you have done millions of times in other games with very little variation. The camera needs some serious work as well.

Dawn of Mana tries to bring something fresh and interesting but fails to recapture the magic of the classic that lit up our old Super NES consoles.

An average game that needed an infusion of hardcore "controllable" action and an improved combat system. The missions needed to be varied from the beginning to the end.

A game, literally for the casual gamer. No one is going to be chomping their nails off in order to play it, but it has its moments.

Those expecting a highly addictive party game in the same vein as Nintendo’s "Super Smash Brothers" will find nothing but disappointment, but all is not entirely bad.

Gladiators of Rome has ... well ... waiting, and waiting for what seems like an eternity in an action game.

I was hoping for a seriously fun game, and while there were snippets of real enjoyment, the game has lulls that make you pine for some mini-games, and those lulls are the actual tennis portions of the game.

Unfortunately, the Nintendo Wii version of Echoes of Time feels like the game was simply slapped together with no real intention of making it specifically for the Wii. This is too bad seeing as the quests are fun and the multiplayer mode is amazing but it is held back by the controls. If you own a Nintendo DS, I highly suggest you pick up that version instead.

Aside from the number of flaws that are too hard to ignore and its repetitiveness, this one hardly comes close to the outstanding N64 original in terms of level design.

The movie is well worth the admission. The game, on the other hand, is a mixed bag and will be enjoyed most after you have viewed the movie.

Garfield passes muster, but only thanks to some really great levels and graphics, otherwise it's another example of should have been.

While many Nicktoons games have been successful in their genre of choice, The Burning Earth is stuck between action and RPG purgatory.

Unfortunately, NBA Live 07 doesn’t play like a pro on the PSP and much of it has to do with the misuse of the Superstar abilities and the slow-as-molasses framerate.

This game succeeds at blending both action and strategy to create a title that is enjoyable. However, the AI is predictable and players will be able to exploit its weaknesses easily.

There is a level of frustration that accompanies this game that simply won’t go away no matter how many games you play or in what mode. Sure, the mini-games are fun, but they cannot carry the franchise.

This is a bit tedious at times, but graphically it is reasonably well done.

It just reminds me of a few other strategy games from a few years ago, which no one plays anymore. This concept has already been done too many times.

If you love puzzle style games or games with an 80's arcade feel to them then you may have something here. Otherwise, I'd say take a pass.

As a pure football simulation game, this is as good as it gets. From an entertainment standpoint, Football Mogul is an incomplete pass.

Not quite as creepy as "Singles: Flirt Up Your Life," not quite as frustrating as "Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude," but nowhere near as good of a game as anything from The Sims franchise.

This is a great time-killer – the kind of game you can pick up and enjoy for 30 seconds without feeling the need to make a 10 or 20-minute commitment.

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.

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.

Sadly while it is an interesting concept, Virtua Quest just doesn't have all the right moves to make this as enjoyable as the fighting games that inspired this title.

Space Chimps surprisingly doesn't suck as long as we're talking about the platforming sections. It's basic stuff that you've played before, but it's also done well -- kiddies who liked the movie will get a kick out of it.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 should exclusively be played by its fans. Newcomers won’t appreciate the storyline or building the mechs as much as a fanatic would.

Gamers with an undeniable need for Naruto gaming action will be amused – if only on the first play-through – by the gameplay this sequel distributes. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a beat-‘em-up with something more substantial than license amusement, you may want to look elsewhere.

A good fighter for those that really enjoyed the early Street Fighters, but it doesn’t live up to the standards Capcom has set for itself with more recent titles.

If you own a Nintendo DS, you might want to buy the DS version instead for the touch screen controls.

You’ll easily drag yourself to play this twice to make sure you beat the entire game and completed everything. Whether you enjoy it both times is a whole different question.

Dances between likeable and overwhelmingly dull. The characters can be mildly amusing and there are enough spirits to use or trade with friends who own this or the Soaring Hawk version of the game, but the battles are far too repetitive to be much fun.

Kung Fu Panda might have some swanky Panda style moves but the wonky controls get in the way of the action. Yet the multiplayer was a pleasant surprise that could keep gamers playing for hours.

The controller will prove to be very frustrating and the other configuration really cheapens the game!

I’ve always wanted a Gundam RPG. Despite its many issues, I’m glad Bandai finally took the steps necessary to make it happen. It’s a flawed disappointment, but it was worth checking out.

A mere shell of a game compared to its bigger and better console versions. But that doesn't make it a weakling. Solid gameplay and a decent collection of modes will please fans of the sport that take it on the go, despite some presentation inaccuracies.

The design flaws detract from the game, and there isn’t enough variety to make the annoying features worth overlooking.

It’s fun for a short season, but it won’t hold anyone’s attention for long.

The gameplay isn't really deep, and the game doesn't do well in many particular categories, but the inclusion of an original character means that the game should hold your attention for a good few hours.

The Sims 3 commits the greatest crime a game possibly can: I want to have fun, but it just won't let me.

The Sims 3 commits the greatest crime a game possibly can: I want to have fun, but it just won't let me.

If you absolutely need a new racing game for your portable, pick this up but do so knowing that the controls cripple the fun parts.

There’s no excuse making controls overly complicated on a system who’s audience wants a game that’s easy to pick up and play. Recommended only for the most hardcore Olympiads.

An interesting adventure game with a fun theme of fairy tales, best for kids with patience, due to the difficult interface.

Mystery Mayhem does a fine job of capturing the feeling and atmosphere of the beloved TV series, but the overly simplistic gameplay is where the game falls short.

In the end, the most compelling elements in Crackdown 2 can be found in its predecessor as well, and the new features are disappointing overall.

It unfortunately just felt too repetitive. The combat (both as an army and with Robin as an individual) is very basic and simplistic, and doesn’t offer much to really work with.

Once you understand what the game is asking you to do, it is a decent title, but lacks a sense of urgency. The controls are fundamental.

More fun to watch than it is to play. If you love Lupin, rent it for the story sequences. You'll be amused by those. But the gameplay is a lot less amusing, so don't expect the world from this title. Don't expect much at all.

Fun story modes, glitches, excellent creation options, terrible sound design, and an enjoyable-though nowhere near perfect-WWE Universe all combine to create one thing: a mixed bag of a wrestling game.

Easy to jump into and play, not a brain tester or even reflexive in any sense, this is a game that – with a little thought – should be conquered in short order.

Battle Nexus is not the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles best effort but if you're looking for a slightly better version of the game I suggest you forget the console versions and pick this one up instead.

As a diversion, Strike Force Bowling is an average title that has some stumbles in terms of animation, but otherwise captures the physics of the sport.

It's fun but the difficulty is weak, almost to the point where button-mashing can create instant success. That kind of thing can't be entertaining forever.

This is one of those games that has great potential, but has been derailed by bad design choices. The control system needs to be revisited, a tutorial added, and a campaign mode would be a good addition. If there is an Age of Pirates 3, I hope these issues will be addressed.

If you want action, thrills, or excitement, look elsewhere. You will find none of those here. If, however, you are interested in exploration and simply taking some time to view some stunning views of what the outskirts of our universe may look like, this game may have some merit that you might want to look into.

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.

The game might not be for everyone but the unique puzzle-solving uses of the gadgets and one of kind setting (I don’t see many flying spaghetti tornadoes in other games) will keep fans of the movie entertained.

A classic game that didn't age as well as we had hoped, Bomberman is a must-have game for those who know they must have it.

The downside to the lock-on feature is -- yep, you guessed it -- it makes the game easier. A LOT easier. Without it, it would have been too hard, and not nearly as fun, but with it, you'll exit the game almost as fast as you came.

The gameplay is identical to Mario Kart for the DS but it still doesn’t have as much polish as the original has.

Instead of endless hours of fun as I had anticipated, I was rewarded with pain and frustration from a game that really has no great strongpoint to offset its' weaknesses.

My enjoyment quickly turned into boredom as I restarted at a certain save point over and over again, due to my "scare" power meter running out every time a ghost ran over me after escaping from my attempted Tome catching.

While the console versions offer an open world, the PSP version just takes you through the missions as well as the Mob War segment of the game with nothing much to do when you’re done with them. Sorry but this is an offer you should definitely refuse.

National Geographic Panda is intended to educate people about pandas, while entertaining them; unfortunately, the entertainment factor is not very high. Best for people who really love pandas and want to learn more about them in an interactive environment.
