It's too easy, the controls stink, the game is not engaging and it's too short.

This is the reflexive kind of game that allows gamers to play through quick levels with a light entertainment feel. This is a nice little program, not exceptional, but still fun to play.

While the graphics look terrific, there are moments when the player will be left staring at a screen that has nothing but a wash of color on it, or wondering how you managed to pull off that bit of a slip when your hands were not near that control button.

The game flow is very nice, the different levels seem huge, the animated effects are well rendered, and the game offers a nice variety of foes.

Could have been so much more than what it turned out to be. GenePool Software should have delayed this game a month to iron out the AI, camera control, and other issues that this game had from time to time.

All the things we look for and love about war games is not present in Shellshock: Nam ’67 and that includes the realism of the war itself.

Granted, some of the three-dimensional effects are very nice, but at times, the game looks like a title in the Lego series, and not the carefree, cartoonish game that has become so enjoyable.

Worth a rental for certain, but only the most diehard King of Fighters fans will want to add this one to their collection.

The game may have been better suited for PlayStation 3.

An immensely repetitive shooter with the flavor of "Devil May Cry," "Dino Crisis," and "Parasite Eve II" baked right in. The finished dish isn’t as delish as the menu indicated, but it isn’t entirely bland.

U:OW is worth a buy for those seeking to use brain over brawn to dash the hopes of the Nazis. In order to get the most out of the game, however, gamers will likely have to overlook the spotty voice acting and a generally uninteresting protagonist and focus more on the larger goal of disrupting the Nazis’ plans.

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 packs in more characters, modes, and options for customization than any fan should rightfully expect, despite the lack of a story mode.

Upon completing The Cameron Files Pharaoh’s Curse I realized that I wanted more.

Steve Saleen's Styling Studio is one of the most unique features I've ever seen in a racing game. I'd like to see it further expanded in a future version of the game.

It is a wonderfully fun FPS to play both online and off. The addition of custom skins and maps will only add to this game.

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.

More like Fantastic 2 1/2. Fantastic 4's ideas were good – it's the execution of it all that made the game fall apart.

Offers gamers a solid racing experience that might leave some gamers wanting more.

Need for Speed ProStreet grasped a hold of me and has yet to let go. The game is engaging, competitive, and challenging. Each car is suitable for the game, and every time I unlock a new one, I feel a desperate need to test it out.

Yes, it’s hard to ignore things like brain-dead police AI or a lack of fun things to do in this surprisingly massive city, but some of the missions are actually kind of fun and the story isn’t bad at all.

A basic basketball engine that features a unique shooting system. It didn't work out too well, but I'll still thank the developers for trying something new.

Terrific graphical elements play against gameplay that is simple to jump into and get to the business of battle. This game is entertaining and challenging.

The annoying camera, easy to solve puzzles, and not exploiting the droid enough really knocked down the score here.

An interesting concept is simplified too much for its own good. For hardcore fans or beginners only.

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 beat-'em-genre is great when done correctly. I wish it would get more exposure because it has been years since I've played a game of this kind.

For young kids only. Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 3 is a simple and repetitive mini-game collection that doesn’t deliver any significant penalties for screwing up.

This game is for young fans of the Naruto series, and I hardly think it could appeal to anyone else. There is a fully fleshed-out RPG experience here, though, even if it is unremarkable.

Black Monday has a strong story, but aspects like the timed driving missions could have easily been left out, and the game would have been stronger for it.

The game’s AI seems determined to make a race out of it, even if that means slowing down cars for no apparent reason, thereby undermining the inherent challenge.

Though the series still provides solid NASCAR racing, its first PS3 offering is not primed for next-gen excellence.

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 game is entertaining but really doesn’t have the depth of play that The Sims sports.

Hey, you don’t have to build a thriving city, you just have to service it – and therein lies the challenge and charm.

Fans of light-gunners won’t find all the bells and whistles in "Time Crisis 2," but they will find a game that is thankfully much longer than TC2 with just as much action.

"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.

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 challenges aren’t really challenging at all and it seemed to drag on as I played more. The rewards of playing more didn’t feel that gratifying to earn.

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

Reborn is a solid experience that offers up some genuinely fun FEAR moments, but paying 800 MS Points for a two hour gaming experience is definitely only for the most hardcore FEAR fans.

Looks good, plays well, but lacks the darkness and depth that defines the title character.

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

Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam has its moments of mech smashing fun but they are just fleeting moments ruined by its flawed design.

Typical of the genre and is your basic side-scrolling, two-dimensional fighter. If you are not looking for anything more, you may want to give it a look.

Fast Food Panic will likely appeal more to young players than real cooks, as the skills aren’t terribly authentic and the gameplay is far too repetitive. At best, it is a short-term diversion for casual party game lovers.

It is sad to see that a game of this caliber has not made the jump into this generation of gameplay.

Worth playing.

A good, non-violent, racing game for children this Christmas season, but if you are an older gamer, it will not prove to be that much of a challenge to you.

While I liked the overall arcade feel to the game and I thought that the car handling was OK, I really thought that the track designs were pretty dull overall and that there just really wasn’t a whole lot of excitement to them.

Sorta like a traffic jam. Its narrow roads feel somewhat congested, and even though there are different roads to take, the path never veers far from the jam.

The tried and true gameplay, excellent controls, detailed graphics and online play add up to a great package for gamers. However the difficulty and dated look of some of the graphics and sound effects will have non-SNK fans looking elsewhere for their fighting fix.

This is not a game you should play for the gameplay. That sounds strange, doesn't it? But Rise of the Argonauts' developers wanted to create an RPG, a genre that used to put the story first.

Pets is an impressive The Sims 2 expansion pack transferred nicely to the PSP but really long load times and its repetitive nature might not sit well with everyone even true fans.

Differentiating between Penny and Bolt in terms of gameplay and control, the game has enough entertainment value to provide children.

Snootier reviewers may give it a pass as it doesn't offer much in the way of innovation or challenges, but it still delivers action-packed excitement. However, it's pretty short and there's not a whole lot of incentive to replay it after finishing.

It's an average title that could have been a bit better with a multiplayer option and longer storyline, still, any fan of the show will probably enjoy it once they have gotten over the fact that Aang can't leap around and kick butt like he does on the cartoon.

The game has some pretty cool ideas throughout, implementing a new layer to strategy gameplay in the way of upgrades and gene-stealing. Unfortunately, pacing issues, technical problems, and a generally spotty interface kill what the game sets out to accomplish.

The problem with sequels in this day of technology is that you expect the game to be even more tech friendly than the last and this one has not used the technology to its zenith.

A great game for the soldier while in reserves or the history buff but for the everyday gamer it may be too technically challenging with two little reward.

Shrek the Third doesn’t bring anything new to the table.

Point-and-click absurdity that places the order of completion before player creativity.

A half-baked multiplayer mode and the same ‘ol gameplay mean that the Dynasty Warriors series is showing its seams.

Blazing Angels on the Wii might have an interesting control scheme but it doesn’t make up for the lackluster campaign mode or the barely-there multiplayer mode.

Although Breach sounds like an incredibly exciting game on paper, its execution comes up short. The online-only content is very limited, and the action pales in comparison to pretty anything Infinity Ward has ever created. With so many superior alternatives, this kind of lackluster experience has no place in the modern market.

Fun, shallow gameplay with cool 3D stages, cheap enemies and a fair amount of repetition.

Due to the limiting nature of the EyePet, it's hard to recommend to anyone without the capacity to sit in one place and play their PSP at countertop.

The game may be weak when it comes to the look of the game, but the animation is very good, the sound is excellent, and the program is rich with options.

L:HoG has promise, but there’s nothing new to see or do here.

If you’re desperate for Wordmaster, well, this is the game to get. But there are so many better word games on the DS that this one is barely worth mentioning.

It's not perfect, but it is a great addition to the genre, and unparalleled on XBLA.

I love the classic Bomberman in this game; in fact that is about the only thing I like about this game. The new content of this game is boring and not worth the price of admittance.

Rocketmen: Axis of Evil offers up some interesting concepts, but the muddled execution bogs it down.

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.

Visually the game won’t win any awards simply because of the battle graphics. Yet I found Neverland Card Battles to be an engaging game that sucked me in with its intriguing gameplay.

I was disappointed to see the developers add the fantasy elements, which threw me a bit once I started playing. The game is still entertaining and with the map editor and online play I still feel this is a decent game.

I see a lot of re-playability here and I would recommend this game to any FPS fan especially those on a budget.

Only a select few will be repeatedly occupied by Shrek the Third's search-based gameplay. The rest of you will beat it once and may never have the desire to return.

It ends up being a fun, short game that is just too repetitive.

A disappointment. I can’t imagine this game being targeted for anything other than the fledgling adventurer.

Unfortunately by offering little to no role-playing experience and by being based on an outmoded and poorly accessed combat system PoR is anything but radiant.

Fans of slow and quirky, non-violent storytelling may be intrigued. But this is as required as acquired tastes get. Proceed with caution.

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.

It's hard to recommend a game that's rough on the player. A fierce challenge is rarely turned away, but how can anyone – kids of all people – overcome the lack of a steady shooting mechanic? I honestly doubt that gamers of any age will be accepting of this flaw.

The character controls are pretty standard to both third person and FPS titles, but they are very stiff and slow. Not the kind of thing you want in a shoot-out or high-speed chase.

Control was my biggest issue throughout the game. If the interface was fine tuned a bit and made a little easier to use, The Great Escape could have been a blast to play.

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

A year-old game newly ported to the PC that plunges players into a world of bad camera angles and overwrought control elements.

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.

The game is more reflexive than cerebral, but still a lot of fun.

The game is rather standard for the RTS genre, not offering much in terms of innovation, but rather trading off what already exists.

While not the best of the best, it still ranks above average in terms of interest and playability.

A great storyline and and impressive interface make for a great game.

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.

A different type of strategy game, which offers some new ideas, but still doesn't manage to rise above the crowd in any significant manner. Best for fans of finite board games.

The gameplay really doesn't dazzle, and with several other fantastic FPS games out there, it's a wonder the developers let this one go in this condition. Vietcong: Purple Haze is flat as a board.

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

It’s chock full of plasma throwing and destructive action with three good storylines to boot.

The game has improved from last years game with it’s more in-depth game modes and slight visual enhancements, but otherwise the game still has a long way to go before being the ultimate college basketball game.
