    Iridium Runners
    The game is a value-priced title and for the most part, it shows, but this time the developers actually included some old-fashioned fun.

    Arctic Thunder
    A wild, arcade-style race and fight program that will have gamers twisting and turning in their seats almost as much as the courses twist and turn.

    Sonic Adventure DX Director's Cut
    This game offers tons of different things to do that include: six different playable characters, a new mission mode, and even the Game Gear Sonic games.

    DreamWorks Kung Fu Panda: Legendary Warriors
    It's just one big game of wave-the-remote-defeat-the-enemy. Fun for fans of this kind of experience – boring for anyone else.

    Dawn of Mana
    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.

    Shrek the Third
    The saving grace of this game is Shrek and the other characters. They are portrayed charmingly and just like in the movies. The mini-games are also fun. However, the game as a whole isn’t anything above average and would probably receive a lesser rating without the presence of Shrek and company.

    Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command
    I was hoping for more in a title like this and although I admit there is some fun in there, the real deal is that the game is lacking a lot of the qualities that make the Warhammer license.

    UberSoldier
    UberSoldier would have benefited from any form of multiplayer. To no avail, there is none and you can clearly see it needed some form of replay value.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories
    I would ultimately recommend this for either someone who has played the card game before or someone who has a lot of time to go through and write down or memorize the card combos and fusion results, since everything is trial and error.

    SpaceStationSim
    More than merely "Sea Monkeys in Space", Space Station Sim is a rocket-boosted title that won't break the exploration budget. In the immortal words of Casey Kasem: "Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars."

    The Incredible Hulk (2003)
    Repetitive action keeps the game from being a genuinely satisfying Hulk game on the GBA, but there are also many good things in the game’s favor that shouldn’t go overlooked.

    Danny Phantom: Urban Jungle
    Big boss battles, endless attacks, frequent bonus opportunities, tons of power-ups – Urban Jungle is all thrills and excitement. Its short length caters to high replay value, but don't think you're crazy for wishing it were longer.

    D-Day
    At times I thought there were too many choices available in regards to issuing orders, but this does add realism to gameplay. The graphics are top notch within a genre that usually lacks stunning effects.

    The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night
    The platform levels are fairly interesting to play through, but they’re not enough to carry the entire game. The combat in the levels is boring, and the boss battles confusing.

    Naruto: Ninja Council 3
    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.

    Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales
    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.

    Starsky & Hutch
    This game has decent graphics with fast paced action arcade gameplay that offers a bit of flash and some cool stunt work, but it gets monotonous and runs thin in story and character depth.

    Rave Master: Special Attack Force
    Sure, Story Mode lacks a real story and sometimes the fights can get just a tad repetitive, but with good graphics and unique characters with their own fighting style this is fighting at its most entertaining.

    Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm

    Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
    Zero Gravity is a large step behind the first Sonic Riders and it’s still a flawed racing title that makes this a Sonic game fans of the loveable blue hedgehog should skip altogether.

    World Tour Soccer 2006

    Disciples III: Renaissance
    Purists might find the changes too extreme, and might be put off by new-found similarities to the Heroes series, or rather, outright copying. If nothing else, at least Disciples III: Renaissance puts a visual twist on a classic formula.

    Savage Skies
    Unfortunately, sometimes less than average graphics overall + bad sound + two faction’s missions being too difficult = probably skipped over in the retail game store.

    Spartan (2004)
    There are so many areas that this game could have improved upon, such as the graphics and the sound, to make it a better overall game. While the game is fun, there are much better TBS games to spend you hard earned money on.

    Naruto Shippuden: Shinobi Rumble

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is not a good DS game by any account. There's no effort behind it, the storytelling is weak, and the presentation is some of the least inspired on the handheld.

    Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers

    Spawn: Armageddon

    Besieger

    Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure
    Safecracker offers plenty of puzzle-solving fun on the Wii. While the game itself isn’t any different from any other puzzle game on the PC, it is different from most offerings on the Wii, which are mainly platform, action or shooter games.

    Gotcha Force

    Watchmen: The End Is Nigh Parts 1 and 2
    Parts 1 and 2 of Watchmen: The End is Nigh is a flawed and repetitive action game that could have been a lot better considering the game has more than enough brutal brawling action.
