As boring as it can be, it can make you feel thrilled and invigorated at the same time. Thus is the beauty-- and bad-- of fishing. This game offers a lot of that realistic thrill.

It is not an innovative arcade title, but makes good use of the SIXAXIS controller. The game looks good, plays well and is fun in a group setting. What more can you ask for from an arcade title?

An assortment of lackluster games with only a few shining stars. Unfortunately the shining stars are just not enough to keep this collection above water.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 is a decent game that players will enjoy if they are fans of the Gundam or Dynasty Warriors series, but in order to stay up with the times the entire franchise should be retooled from the graphics to the actual gameplay to stay current in this day and age.

It's obvious that the designers cared about their product and their target audience.

You would think that they could make a fun game out of a fun movie, but Blade II does not come close to touching the wild action and appealing story that made the film such a delight to watch.

The game does have a sense of urgency to it that will have you playing it for hours on end. The frustration lays in the conversation trees.

A good entry level game for the beginners, but anyone else should probably take a pass, but then again, at a budget price, older, complete diehard fans, may want to take a chance.

We don’t mind a Castlevania fighting game when it’s done right but Judgment just isn’t able to pull it off well thanks to a number of problems that make this a unimpressive fighting game. All is not bad, though, seeing as the collection of characters bring something different to the battle, but it’s not enough to recommend this one.

While the controls are pretty solid and easy to get the hang of, the game is a very boring and uninspired affair.

There were too many shortcomings to bring a great idea into a finished product.

A fun enough add-on, I just can't recommend it at the price.

While it does steal from some truly spectacular action games, somehow the action really doesn’t take off in this repetitive, bland action game. Even if you’re a fan of the comic, do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.

This October, the world will indeed experience a case of Toy Story mania when the first two films are re-released in theaters in 3D. But unless you're a collector of all things Pixar, Toy Story Mania! is not a game you'll want to own.

The "extreme" scenarios help make the game more exciting, rather than just sailing from point A to point B, though newcomers will have some trouble knowing how to operate everything, since a tutorial is nowhere to be found.

The historical accuracy is a nice touch, but unfortunately the game will likely turn off the fans that aims to attract (historical sim buffs) with unbalanced controls and weak missions and a tepid presentation.

Fuzion Frenzy 2 won’t dazzle you with brand new game modes or a whole new party game concept, but the online element will ensure that you’ll never have to play it alone.

A good idea for the Wii, and one that should have worked better than it did. The control system really should have been tested more before the final release. It is a shame, because there are lots of varied and attractive games included in this compilation. Best for families with older children that don’t frustrate easily.

A repetitive action game with very little substance and absolutely no style despite the fact that the Predator warrior is represented well in the game.

As a first or second game for a six-year-old, Slop Bucket Games might be a golden stocking stuffer. But there isn't enough to this mini-game collection to make it a worthy gift for the average kid gamer.

Rarely making you feel like you accomplished very much or gained a deeper insight in how well your right brain potential is measured, Mega Brain Boost lacks all the interesting tools that Brain Age possesses.

Tortuga has only one shining stone in the chest: sea battles. Unfortunately the rest of the game pulls it down.

If the gameplay was more balanced across all of the games this could be a worthy title for your collection. But if you’re a Carnival Game junkie on the Wii, then you will probably have to pick this one up anyway.

Repetitive, short, and dirt simple, Bolt won’t likely be very fun for anyone.

Dune features an especially awkward control system requiring you to switch between overly complicated keyboard controls and overly simplified mouse functions.

The graphics will not sate the eye-candy hungry PS2 player, the plot is not particularly compelling and with the frequency of the load times and frequent (and repetitive) random battles, progress may be considered by some to be unforgivably tedious and slow.

This is a game built for a niche crowd. You are not piloting that fighter, making it a personal one-on-one battle, but rather controlling a massive ship that has a crew that follows the orders you give from the command center.

Unfortunately, Top Gun rarely rises above it’s recycled mission structure and repetitive dogfights that ultimately makes this a forgettable experience.

If you’re looking for a generic role-playing game that isn’t half-bad despite its dated gameplay then Astonishia Story might just be the PSP game you’ll want to buy.

With very little to offer in terms of level diversity, an actual story for the game's Adventure mode and some jerky control issues, the fun just doesn't last for very long.

Uninspiring and strictly by the numbers, Terminator Salvation offers very little in terms or originality or fun.

Quotation forthcoming.

Stay away from this game at all costs, if you see it in the store, turn and run away now!

There are glitches in the graphics and an AI that goes from passive to cutthroat in a hurry. If you are looking for a racing game, there are better ones on the market. If you are looking for a game that has charm and some RPG elements, this may be worth a look.

Don’t have astronomical expectations for this movie-based action title.

DICE's battles would have been exciting if they had added more than one kind of level. A combo system other than square-square-square would have worked wonders.

While I expected a little more audio/visual content, given the nature of the title and it’s low price, the game is still quick, bargain priced, and bound to be an entertaining little jaunt for current fans of MTV and pop culture.

This game really is an insult to one of the most beautiful animated movies ever made. While a few of the games are fun to play for a minute, or to try out, never would I recommend a purchase of this game - even to the most hardcore Brad Bird fans.

Stormrise delivers a unique experience that will be remembered. It may be too frustrating (and occasionally too repetitive) to convert those that don't play strategy games. But it moves the genre ahead and is no doubt a step in the right direction.

To be perfectly honest I like it more than the PSone Spyro games.

The Yellow Avenger, however, doesn't even have what it takes to appease the series' most diehard fans. It's not a disaster – just a thrill-less adventure that stars one of the world's most popular cartoon characters.

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.

A solid concept, but the execution is not all that good. The game is stereotypical in characterizations, the graphical quality is average at best and the sound begins well but breaks down quickly.

The only enjoyment you’ll find in Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World is the fact you have a wide range of characters to choose from. Otherwise, avoid DBZ: IW as it’s an uninspiring cash-in on the franchise.

Even though the Xbox 360 version contains two additional levels and boss fight this is not really worth the price of admission since there are so many better games already out on the market.

Despite an exciting multiplayer mode, Team Sabre never rises above its various flaws and its simplistic single-player level design that offers no real challenge.

Unfortunately, it's waned away in the final release due to lackluster controls and dull visuals that fail to appeal.

It lacks in originality, and the play is a little slow. But while this is not the kind of game that will take your breath away, it is the kind of game that – because of its simplistic nature – will draw you back to play it.

A mediocre title with few bells and whistles.

The vehicle animations are good, but the overall repetitive nature of the game makes this a very average title.

Impressively attempts to bring the identical console experience to the Game Boy Advance and, for the most part, does an admirable job. Still, it’s clear by the unsteady framerate and choppy graphics that the GBA does have its limits and this game definitely pushes it to the max.

It's easy enough to learn the moves, and the tutorials at the beginning are fantastic.

Playing is quite fun, and there is a good mixture of conversational clues, puzzles and fun things to see. The puzzles are fairly well-integrated, but not logical all the time.

Card Fighters DS just feels shallow when compared to other TCG-type games out, especially on the DS.

New fashions and new items for your retail stores. This is decent stuff but not exactly groundbreaking for the franchise.

Playing The Guy Game by yourself is like playing Monopoly by yourself; the point of the game is to compete for the most points, so it’s boring to play alone. If you have two or three other friends that are into nudity, drinking, and high school humor this is a great choice.

The controls are what kill this game.

Sadly, with all the game’s flaws I wouldn’t consider even mentioning this game to fans of the book or the movie.

Sonic Adventure isn't the beaming example of Dreamcast development excellence, with its annoying camera issues, unnecessary side character missions and on-and-off gameplay enhancements.

It is not overly challenging in terms of resource management, but the strangeness of this world’s inhabitants and their civilizations make this a nice little program.

AI is absolutely down right dumber than a puppy chew toy.

While excellent games in arcade history, it seems as if the GBA translation does not do these great classics justice.

It's clunky, repetitive, and looks like it was designed for platforms of the previous generation. If you really want to experience this sort of thing without getting yourself killed, you're still better off with the TV show.

I find it very funny that the name of this game is entitled Beat Down, because this is exactly what the game is, it is a beat down to even attempt to play this game. Needless to say avoid this game like the plague.

This may be amusing to a casual gamer, or even a beginner. Replay value is negative zero.

An average diversion. It is not too-quickly played, but can provide some enjoyment. The pluses outweigh the negatives in this game.

If this game does have a niche, it would be in the realm of parent and child competing against each other in an obvious alternative to a shooter-style program.

Although the game is somewhat entertaining, the graphics make it almost unplayable.

I’ve played better Flash games. I’ve played better racers on the Game Boy Advance. Those are both very sad statements that I hope I never have to make again.

There was a wealth of material here that it seems the dev team tried to cram into the story. Instead of a well-scripted tale, this game is a random (repetitive) level run that loosely fits some story, if you can find and hold on to the main thread.

Hardcore gamers (young or old) would be wise to ignore the kiddy image and give the game a shot.

The problem with the controls is that they don't seem accurate, causing sloppy game play.

It's not innovative, it's not a sequel and the graphics are below the quality of "Crazy Taxi," a driving game that's nearly four years old.

The game tells a compelling story, is loaded with exciting combat, and is chock full of memorable moments. It could have used a bit more polish in certain areas, true, but as an interactive summer blockbuster, Legendary delivers.

The disappointing gameplay, unintuitive controls, and the lackluster bike building system make it impossible to enjoy at any price point.

HAWX 2 feels like it was sugar-coated and mass-produced for a crowd on the Wii that was too young the play the "real" version. If this is the sort of treatment planned for future Clancy games, I would humbly suggest that the publishers reconsider their options.

Sadly, Monster Jam fails miserably in all aspects and does not provide an entertaining title worthy of those fans that enjoy a good vehicle smash-and-bash.

Takes a good idea and executes it in a mediocre way.

Offers a solid cerebral challenge. However, there are other trivia games, such as the "You Don’t Know Jack" series, that while adult-oriented are much more entertaining.

A button-masher for gamers under 12. It won't rock anyone's world, but if you know a kid who loves these Nicktoons characters and enjoys simple, battle-filled games, Globs of Doom is one of SpongeBob's better adventures.

Catwoman's lack of challenge is disappointing, but its confusion is what covers the game in darkness. Not knowing where to go next is awful.

This game had great potential, but unfortunately it fails to deliver. Only the most hardcore baseball fanatics are going to be able to stomach the breadth and depth of this title. I'm a pretty big baseball fan, and it was even too much for me.

With a few improvements over the first game and the lack of online play, this title might not have what it takes to go head-to-head with better Xbox racing games like Forza or Project Gotham Racing but it's a nice alternative to the more serious racing game.

Overall, Mayhem 3D lacks depth in many departments, but it delivers an average experience for fans of destruction racing games.

This game is right on target for preschoolers. The repetitiveness is exactly what they like. The levels are fun and have lots of action.

What's Cooking? could have been the next Cooking Mama. But instead of going for video-game supremacy, it took a different route and became an interactive cookbook. If that's what people want from this game, it might just work.

The board brings the franchise to life in remarkable ways. There is a decent variety of game modes and the ‘80s look is a nice touch.

A bloodless hack-and-slasher that goes nowhere and will leave gamers feeling truly disappointed.

The mediocrity of the game play wont make this title a game to remember.

The levels are entirely too short, and the ease of play that is obviously aimed for is often sabotaged by the difficulty of the hazards.

Gamers looking for good Loony Tunes mayhem will be sorely disappointed with this game that looses its amusement pretty early.

A giant step in the wrong direction for the franchise and if you loved the original just as much as I do you should seriously avoid this one.

Unfortunately the AI in the game makes it frustrating at times, and the simple hack-and-slash style of the game really doesn’t do anything to make the MK universe unique; it just offers up something we’ve all seen and done before with a couple of minor tweaks.

A wholly average racing game. Besides the character of Herbie and Lindsey Lohan, there's not much going for this game.

The game had so much potential, but the execution simply never occurred.

40K fans will probably not regret picking this up, and run and gun action fans will definitely get more out of it than gamers looking for something to present them with a major challenge.

Death Jr. and the Science Fair of Doom is a snore-fest laden with abominable controls, physics and level/enemy design. Redeeming factors are scarce.

It has some fun in it for the young ones, but they will tire of it if they haven't already beaten it.
