If the whole goal in gaming is to delight the senses, entreat the mind and provide hours of pleasant game experiences, then The Outforce succeeds.

Drab enemies and weapons, average graphics but below average levels make this a "prequel" that does not do the series justice.

Two words keep this from being a great-playing game: menial tasks. The puzzles aren't clever, they're just silly, and oftentimes confusing because of the clunky controls and the sub-par camera.

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

The replay value of Touch the Dead is limited. Players will either get frustrated with the checkpoints or they’ll be able to sit down and finish this in one day if they put focus their time in completing it.

Avatar is a game that younger kids will want, but with the faulty execution of the special moves, could upset younger gamers.

If the minor frame-rate bugs were nonexistent, the gameplay of Supreme Commander would be nearly flawless. The strategy mixed with the player’s desire to destroy the enemy mesh together well here.

The main problem is the lack of depth. The only good thing is the large-scale battles with little slowdown. The camera also insists on showing the most useless positions.

The control scheme and presentation makes the game very boring to play after only a short period of time, not to mention that the story mode won’t last you longer than a day.

Though it was short and easy, I did have fun playing it.

Slow and monotonous.

Tenchu Z is a pretty lousy entry to the series, and is one Xbox 360 title that doesn’t flex any next-gen muscle.

Miami Law provides some solid old school adventuring and a few decent mini-games, but the plot is generic and the gameplay doesn’t stand out enough to make it recommendable over other similar DS titles.

If you're a purist for how hard it is in real life, you need to give this one a swing.

The game follows the platforming genre precisely and doesn’t stray too far from it, which is not necessarily a bad thing, especially since this game is aimed for younger players. What is really annoying about this game is the fixed camera; it really becomes a hindrance during certain parts of the game, especially during combat.

The gameplay in Wrestlemania XXI is lousy, with unresponsive controls, boneheaded AI, and frustrating hit-detection issues, making the game absolutely no fun to play.

Not terribly innovative, but quite solid, Spyhunter can give you a fairly fun time. The level design, controls, and mission objectives all work well together.

Simple tasks like checking the dead for equipment isn't as easy as it should be and neither is working with the characters inventory. Again. the game's A.I. isn't very even as the game progresses and the sound is atrocious.

The wanton violence, the messy deaths, it has a level of fun for those mature enough to handle it, but the staying power of this title just isn't here. There's a couple of hours of play in there, but not much more.

While the game is indeed quite rare, its repetitive gameplay quickly wears out its welcome. This is too bad really, since the game looks nicely unusual and some of the levels can actually be fun.

Bloody Good Time tries to pour too much formula into a limited cup, causing overflow and mayhem – and not the good kind. Avoid this Bloody mess.

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.

There’s nothing wrong with a little mindless fun now and again, particularly when it involves bouncing bosoms and blood-thirsty zombies. Unfortunately, mindless controller waggling scars this otherwise decent guilty pleasure.

The visceral experience is everything we would want from a 1080p title but this does not truly make up for the lack of innovation in the way the game plays out. There is much of been there-done that feel to the game.

Hack-n-slash gameplay done right. Thousands of enemies, over a hundred of which can be visible on screen at any given time, and the coolest mobile suits around. If the developers could find a way to prevent the game from becoming repetitive, then the eventual sequel – or the next spin-off – could be amazing.

For those old school gamers who had a fondness for the classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Monster Madness will disappoint in almost every level. It’s a game that borders on fun but just doesn’t quite make the right impression with its repetitive action, framerate problems and barely there story.

This is one seriously good-looking game that is bogged down by a short story, linear gameplay, repetitious combat and a lot of hand-holding. The intent was there, but the execution was fumbled a bit.

This title doesn’t advance the series; it’s really more like a watered-down version of AVP2.

This title looks good, and plays well, but the basic concept and general feel of the game has already been done.

Manages to rip off everything that made Frogger a nice game, but still ends up no fun.

Rather, they have chosen to approach the series with minor tweaks and upgrades, which will be hugely appreciated by those who missed the original, but might seem irrelevant to those who already shelled out $35 to acquire the first Ninja Destiny.

What The Incredible Hulk for the PS3 does do is prove that, once again, most movie tie-in games are rushed products that lack creativity and fun.

Monster Madness: Grave Danger is an improvement over the XBOX 360 title, but still has some kinks. The story is lacking and I can’t really see gamers being drawn into it again for a second go around.

On paper, Haze had all the makings of a PS3-exclusive classic but, thanks to poor execution, it just doesn't have what it takes to be a fun first-person shooter or a good game in general.

The series’ most notable feature – unparalleled speed – was somehow lost on this installment. Frustration prevails, an element I hope is excluded from all future Sonic releases.

An exciting, albeit clunky, driving/action game born out of GTA inspiration, C.O.P. The Recruit pushes the limits of the Nintendo DS.

A motorcycle racing game that pushes the limits of racing action, combines it with awesome graphics and teaches the difference between acceleration and brake through a harrowing maze of courses.

The game fails to tread new water in the field. It may have been a solid title, without the Pearl Harbor title, five years ago. It is a fair arcade, third-person perspective flight sim, and nothing more.

Doesn't bring anything really cool to the table in terms of gameplay, but if you're a fan of the X-Men and looking for a game that really fleshes out Wolverine's life, then this may be worth checking out.

You won’t be beating it over the course of a weekend and it does bring something new to the table for you or your pre teen younger gamers who are into emergency and rescue shows or events.

Like the movie and graphic novel that inspired this game, 300: March to Glory is ultra violent and interesting but as a game it just doesn’t offer enough variety to be much fun for long.

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

Hot Pixel for the PSP would have been a fun alternative to Nintendo’s micro mini-game offering but in the end, it just lacks quality or quantity and that little spark of fun that makes gamers want to revisit the mini-games again and again.

Rent it for the story, and keep your antennas crossed for a gameplay-improved sequel.

Some will love it, and others will despise it. More likely than not, your own appreciation of this title will come down to your fanaticism regarding the genre.

Naruto fans will really enjoy this game and fortunately the way the game was developed, the rest of us will too.

Shrek 2 provides comedy similar to the movie, but gameplay that is stuck in the swamp.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa’s lighthearted feel and basic gameplay should appeal to younger audiences and fans of the film, but the repetitive nature and lack of challenge will likely turn everyone else off.

Ninja Storm has some good graphics, but the rest of the game falls up short due to redundancy and boring level design.

Yes it has good and tight control, but acceleration and speed can be a real chore with some vehicles.

If you like your games with an involving storyline and easy, RLH will probably be right down your alley.

A big part of the game’s failure lies in the controls that seem so difficult at times that performing any move, no matter how simple, can become a grueling experience for gamers thinking the game’s arcade style makes for easy character control.

Line-quoting Ghostbusters aficionados should have no trouble overlooking the game’s occasional gameplay flaws to revel in the fun concepts and remarkable fan service Ghostbusters: The Video Game provides on the DS. Even when a tad flawed, bustin’ feels good.

Merely an average, if not unchallenging puzzle game, there is no gaming addiction to be found here, the strange storyline, multiplayer capability and wacky sounds barely buoy this title into a passable grade.

There must have been another reason for the delay, because the game is not much different from the Xbox 360 version.

But don't let the "new" content have anything to do with your desire to purchase the game. For that alone, the price tag is much too high.

With numerous problems that work against the gameplay, poorly designed game modes don’t make this simulator fun or interesting even for gamers who love the sport. Sorry, this one just isn’t good enough to recommend.

A bland and lifeless action game with an unfinished graphics engine, Bullet Witch really isn’t worth your time.

A stale adventure game with a fancy name on it. When it could have shined, it was dull. When the chance to kick in and throw some punches comes along, your thrusts are mired with the sluggish controls.

There’s no excuse for this pathetic release by Electronic Arts. Sure, they refined a few things but when push comes to shove, gamers shouldn’t have to endure mediocrity within their favorite sport since there’s no other alternative.

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011 is by no means a terrible game. It's an average one that stands out for its use of a gun peripheral that, by large, is the best aspect of buying the $70 bundle.

In all honesty just another military fps/team based game.

The game AI may have a few stumbles, and the graphical quality isn’t near the standards set by EASports or Midway, but this is not a bad game.

Though I like the concept and general idea, for a racing game, IGPX doesn’t move very fast.

For being an expansion, the developers didn’t focus on providing new units or game modes. Blitzkrieg II: Fall of the Reich is catered to the fans of the series and is one last hoorah for them.

Sadly this game seems completely outdated despite the gorgeous visuals and excellent score and with nothing much to offer, gamers should go ahead and skip this one.

The gameplay is very basic – anyone who wants to learn how to play it will learn how to play it whether they've played a lot of games before or not. Expect the average non-gamer to get at least a few months out of this one.

There is very little in terms of stylus usage, some pressing and aiming but for the most part, the game could have been made more exciting if more stylus activity were implemented.

The game is a bit of a mixed bag – old-style graphics, minimalist sound but with an engaging story.

Fans of Edgar Allan Poe or those who like a "twist" to historical fact might find Midnight Mysteries to their liking, but it's hard to recommend the game to anyone else.

Clunky and out of control, GunGriffon: Allied Strike is barely out of the beta phase. At least that's how it plays. Everything you do is slow.

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

Gameplay quickly becomes an exercise in futility and patience. The control of the game is very slow and unresponsive, further hurt from the inability to discern most wrestlers from the next.

It is really a shame that the game was allowed to be released before it was tweaked sufficiently. Unfortunately, these are major problems that greatly affect the gameplay and game players.

The presentation is great and looks a lot like the show, but the repetitive gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

The jerky third-person graphics and sound breakup were a bit disappointing, but Endless Ages does offer interesting and new twists on the MMO world.

THQ did a respectable job in porting Space Channel 5 over to the GBA considering what they had to work with, but the fact of the matter is that the game’s music-oriented dynamics just don’t translate very well to the system.

A nice enough puzzler, but one that lacks long-lasting appeal.

The GameCube controller feels like it was made for this game!

As for the controls, the camera itself caused some goof ups here and there.

The tutorials are helpful, the character creation elements are amusing, and the display and presentation of the game outperform every other poker game available.

Ultimately, every other wrestling game on the market surpasses this game.

NBA: Ballers: Chosen One has all the right stars but when it comes to the game, it lacks the stylish action that made this series such a blast to play.

To call Battles of Ardania an expansion is a large overstatement. From map layouts, units and even music, everything seems to be recycled from the original game and Kingmaker.

The gameplay is fun and addictive.

It's a valiant effort to focus on a more story driven game rather than the mindless button mashing of the Warriors series, but the game could have used considerably more polish, especially when it comes to presentation.

Challenging and addictive. If you aren't a die hard golfer you probably won't find this game enjoyable. The main thing this game is lacking is the ability to play the course you built.

The game itself really doesn’t get that exciting, even during the last few minutes of a tight game, which is uncommon for a sports title these days.

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.

Marred by the controls, Warhammer: Battle March could’ve been something truly impressive with how upbeat the battles are. But in the end, it turns out that Battle March is much more of a wallflower than the prom king at the big dance.

It is arena-driving, shoot-‘em-up action, but the game fails in the department of chills or thrills.

Using the fun Star Wars: Battlefront style, Conquest has all the right elements but they’re not implemented as smoothly or as it should have been on the Xbox 360. The controls make for some frustrating button-mashing battles even with some fun match types or the various heroes you can use on the many battlefields.

Side-scrolling beat-'em-up action with your favorite superheroes. Worth a rental, and worth stealing from your little brother. But not worth buying for yourself.

Battle for Atluma is a good package for any lover of the card game, but it doesn’t offer anything special to draw outsiders into the experience.

Although the cars and scenery looks very realistic, the steering might be a little too real making for a frustrating and miserable time playing this game in the beginning. It does nothing to thrive over the competition or advance the driving genre except for the realism in the cars.

Too many things were left out, like bigger levels, damage modeling, better textures, etc. The driving engine is great, and it’s a breeze to get used to the controls, but all the other factors drug it down.

Alias is loaded with fantastic cut scenes and great voiceovers. Too bad the playing the game is not nearly as brilliant.

It is a fair attempt at a racing game, but doesn't really have enough oomph to make it over the hill with many discriminating gamers.
