The acrobatics are solid, but the blood spilling seems a little much for a stealthy warrior. Red Ninja could have been much more than it is, and what it is is an average tale.

Not only is it well designed, but it is simple enough in control configuration for anyone to play.

Nowhere near the quality of the first.

Knit one, pearl two, the controls are pretty simplistic. I honestly was disappointed by the de-volving gameplay (pushing boxes), the game is not going to inspire others to do better.

At the end of day gaming is all about having fun. If you’re looking for a simple, mindless shooter to spend a few minutes of your time, then No Mercy can fit the bill. But if you’re looking for a game that will keep you coming back for more and more then you should look elsewhere.

If party games are your thing and you love the One Piece series, Pirates' Carnival will satisfy your craving for a multiplayer board game.

The voice acting and sound effects are over the top to the point of aggravation.

Had it not been for the frequent slowdown and the “iffy” driving sequences this game could have scored an 8 easily, making it one of the better entries on the GBA.

It’s like the song says, “Load times killed the video star.” In this case a well-planned, well-executed RPG caught in a cluster of technical idiosyncrasies.

ATV Quad Kings was a missed opportunity. Being a huge fan of games like PURE and MX vs. ATV Reflex, I was hoping for a similarly-styled game on the go, but in the end was sadly disappointed.

It’s an a mediocre pick-up but there are better games on the Nintendo DS to invest your time and money into.

A total disappointment, as it does not live up to its prestigious heritage that other Tetris games had.

A young children's game for the GBA that is actually worth the money, which is not that common.

There are some fun moments in this game but they are fleeting moments that are quickly overshadowed by the game's repetitiveness.

It's just a really strange, weird game that probably should have been redone with more care.

Plenty of cool fighting moves aren’t enough to save Dark Angel from its repetitious and boring cycle of fights and unoriginal design.

AND 1 Streetball mixes in a lot of what's good about street basketball but in the end the overall execution is plagued by glitches and weak controls that makes this one a real playa hater.

Major Minor’s Majestic March is perfect for families, especially those with very young children, trying to get into the rhythm genre – it’s short, easy, cute, and inoffensive. For the twelve-and-up crowd, though, the simplistic gameplay, dull song selections, and incredibly short length are bound to disappoint.

Unfortunately, the game falls prey to some all-too-common problems, like weak AI and a buggy camera. If you are a ninja fan looking for something new, then you should be satisfied with a rental.

Zoids Assault is a title that won’t win over too many new fans. It has low production values, the storyline is weak, the gameplay is standard and the audio isn’t anything special; all the makings of a below-average video game.

The average graphics and sound weigh down Starship Troopers. The ability to fight swarms of enemies is entertaining at first, but it can be a problem at times. Losing because the enemies attacked faster than you can kill them or because you looked the wrong direction for a second and a half can be frustrating.

If you are looking for something you can immediately just throw in the drive and start playing this is it. If you are looking for re-playability, you may want to pass on this one.

As a single-player game, My Street is a bore. It won't entertain you for very long, and the story and the dialogue is really pathetic.

An unfinished game. If level designs were better, enemy AI was better, melee attacks actually did something, and a whole host of other things were worked out, the game wouldn't be so bad.

Some of the elements are well realized, the environments look good and the sound is well done, but the AI and repeated “terrified” civilians, fails to elevate this title to the ranks of solid tactical combat shooter.

The battle graphics get the job done, but everything else is a wash. The game is simple to play and though it does try to complicate matters, does a poor job – which reveals the simplistic nature of this title.

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.

This isn't a game that'll rock your world, nor is it one that will change the way you look at the survival/horror genre. But if you don't mind spending a buck for an hour's worth of fun (plus replay value), Dawn of the Dead is worth your time.

A mindless little distraction that requires reflexes, not brains.

From start to finish the gameplay is a balanced mixture of simplicity and unimpressive-ness.

For 20 bucks or so it’s not too terrible for the money. This will most likely appeal to younger players or those who want to jump in and play without spending time thumbing through an extensive manual.

Not the best superhero game every created, Hero X still has its own charm. The action is well done, and the game has bright, lush graphics and a large gaming world. Stability problems are its bane.

A delightful little game with solid graphical elements and difficulty levels that will challenge most players.

It's simple, yet still cool looking, and is one of the very few fighting games to include a four-player mode. It's not the best feature in the world, but it's something fun to do with your friends on the weekend.

If you love The Hulk franchise, as well as destroying environments in Hulk-like fashion, then The Incredible Hulk is worth checking out. The short replay value should cause any gamer to question purchasing this game though.

Aren’t cats supposed to be…graceful? Pulling off moves with “feline agility” just doesn’t look or feel right.

In concept it is a great game, but the execution and half baked controls really ruin this game that would have been on gamers must have list.

The controls are a bit clumsy, and the overall game just isn’t much fun. Maneuverability isn’t as good as it should be in a helicopter, making the chopper an easy target for enemy soldiers. Not much fun at all.

A nice change of pace, but it’s too repetitive to hold your interest for very long.

After hours upon hours of competitive gameplay, Samurai Shodown: Sen didn’t serve enough entertainment value to satisfy my tastes. It’s a shame since the series has long been one of the more popular franchises among hardcore fighting fans.

It’s great too see the movie’s characters like Mumble and Gloria but the Wii controls are used in a gimmicky way that adds very little substance to a game that could have been really fun.

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with just about everything. From the mission briefing, right up through the mission debriefing where you obtain all your stats. The graphics were archaic for lack of a better word.

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

This is one of those games that I love. It encompasses so many game lovers when it comes to genre. It is fun for those who love racing as much as it is for those who love seeing their familiar cartoon characters outside of the television.

Watch the World Cup on television and bypass this effort.

Operation Darkness takes an intriguing idea, but ruins it with some awful gameplay.

I wasn’t expecting a revolution from a poker game, but it would’ve been nice to have at least one unique and/or standout feature outside of the create-a-player mode.

Even dedicated fans of the blue hedgehog will long for the classic controls that made this platform game such a joy to play.

Keyboard and mouse controls could have been easier to use and camera angles definitely need work. But if you want to get a game out in time for a movie release, some things will go unpolished.

For horse lovers, and lovers of the movie, I would rank this game higher, but many GBA gamers may find the action a bit slow and repetitive.

By far, one of the best Inuyasha games you’ll play and one deeply engrossing role-playing game for your Nintendo DS.

Engaging.

This game is not the worst game that I have every played. However, it’s a pretty average type of game and is very short, too. For the price, it isn’t a good choice for kids, as there isn’t much replay value despite the mini-games.

Everything you hated about the last game makes its return in "Backyard Wrestling 2."

Really, do yourself a favor and forget this game exists. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon on the Wii fails to justify anything for the long-running military series with its bad gameplay and bland presentation. It's safe to say this is a ghost of its former self. Wait for Future Soldier.

The appeal of a Live-enabled, DLC-driven Yu-Gi-Oh! game certainly has merit in theory, but Konami clearly phoned in their efforts in the hopes that the mega-popular brand alone would sell units.

By letting players customize their avatars to a high degree the developers have given a world of possibilities to the players. The two notes that bring this game down to Earth are the graphics and the sound.

Outside of those few positives, it's a lesson on how not to use a movie license within the video game industry.

The clunky gameplay, repetitive battles, and the lack of a lengthy quest and hardly any replay value guarantee that Never Ending Tomorrow will never achieve the success it could (possibly ... maybe) have.

A mediocre point and click adventure game that doesn't advance the genre. The game offers just enough to keep you playing but fails to offer anything new or impressive to make it stand out from the crowded adventure game market.

I could do without fancy-schmancy visuals and professional voice-acting, all I require in my RPG is good solid gameplay and satisfying plot progression. Neither of which are present in this game.

Completely flawed in almost every aspect.

The controls are not reliable in any sense. It is not fun playing a game, when you are constantly worrying if the players will do the commands that you tell them to.

Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey is a strange little game that isn’t terrible by any means, but it’s not really very good, either. While I could definitely see the game developing a (tiny) cult following, every interesting element in the game is balanced out by something bad.

Tournament of Legends is a mess of glitches, incompetent gameplay, and unfulfilled ideas. It is an insult to fighting fans and an embarrassment to the icons of classic mythology, although I suppose it deserves credit as the first fighting game that can be won in the middle of a full-on seizure.

There’s nothing here that will have you itching to go back and play through after your first run through.

Unfortunately, Sniper is a "meh" experience with a very limited appeal; gamers with extreme patience and a passion for sniper rifles might enjoy themselves.

I hear the theme from Gilligan’s Island. I don’t know where it’s coming from, but the words are distinct – “A three-hour tour. A three-hour tour.” Once those hours have passed, you’ll be glad you’re not trapped on an island with this game.

There are times where you’ll appreciate the throwback to old detective games, but then you’ll realize that Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos needed a lot more work graphically to keep your attention past the first few cities.

Well, I was hoping for something a bit more in line with the show, and while you are playing as Ben, Gwen and Kevin, the game makes sure to take most of the fun out of it.

CSI could have been one of those rare point-and-click interactive gems on the Xbox - since we rarely get many of those - but due to its considerably flawed design, poor graphics and simplistic trial-and-error puzzle solving, this one will just disappoint fans of the show.

This edition of Stronghold Crusaders is one of those games that leaves us to wonder, what were they thinking?

Another action/adventure with the same objectives found in games 10 years ago. The Ant Bully’s fun doesn’t come from its tiring missions, but from the unique control features that open new possibilities for the way we game.

Poorly conceived and quite dull in nearly every way, Golden Axe: Beast Rider is one of those missed opportunities that could have brought the series to a new generation of gamers. Instead it takes a linear route that makes this a game even Golden Axe fans will certainly want to avoid.

D1 Grand Prix’s style-over-speed gameplay is perfect not for those who enjoy watching the sport, but for those who actually do it understand its persistent challenge.

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

As if we haven’t seen enough WW2 shooters by now, Ubisoft chose to port these two decent shooters into one horrible compilation for the Wii.

A piss poor title that should bring a sour face to any hardcore hack and slash fan.

The simple and scaled down options seem to be made for newer players into this kind of market, but the confusing nature of the game if you don't play the campaign first can quickly get frustrating.

It's almost too sad to mention, the game's controls just aren't very sharp, muddied targeting and apparently the slowest agent, ever, make this game just no fun to control. First person shooters are a genre that has a massive amount of followers, why make your game so poorly controlled?

Completely unbalanced because of the AI problems. One minute the computer is a super solider the next minute a complete idiot.

You do get a good feel for speed but without any consequence, you can slam a wall at well over 100mph and drive away as if the car was new, no damage at all. That doesn't give you much incentive to learn to do anything but slam the accelerator to the floor.

Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer could have been way more than it was. Only get this game if you are a true die-hard fan of the Fantastic 4, otherwise go find a used copy of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance to get your superhero fix on.

Made Man possesses a slew of problems that would have made this Mafioso shooter an interesting action game. Interesting main character aside, the game’s controls feel jerky and the action is slowed down by the awful aiming and bad camera.

Not breaking any grounds here; online is nice but it’s nothing original.

Unforgiving AI, lack of play options to customize your game, and the annoying fact that you can’t restart a race during a championship really can make the game more aggravating than enjoyable.

Just too boring to recommend to anyone looking for a good car-combat game.

The biggest thing that make this game get such a low score is non-responsive controls and framerate issues will make you want to slam your precious PlayStation Portable against a brick wall.

There are so many bugs in this game that at times it is unplayable, and futile to even attempt to do so.

Thanks to its many glaring flaws such as awful camera and awkward combat controls, Catwoman isn’t much fun to play even with the cool feline abilities.

I'm sorry, this game just really disappoints.

On top of the flawed shooting mechanics there are glitches aplenty that keep this from being an inventive and fun shooter. Sorry, but this is one action game best left forgotten by time.

The forced or rushed feeling of this title just weighs too heavy on me. And with the lacking graphics and clunky gameplay, this title just fails on all levels.

Extremely awful controls.

Sadly, the game's poor design, uninteresting story plot and monotonous gameplay will sorely disappoint fans of the Dinotopia books and television miniseries.

Repetitious button-mashing gameplay that rarely engages the brain is the undertone of this title.

There's not much more to say. Pass on this one unless you are the most hardcore of RPG players. Even then stop and reassess if you're really sure about this. Maybe go for a walk and clear your head. If you're still determined, have at it. You are one of the special few.

The actual gameplay is unlikely to impress serious gamers and may, to some, the game may be found seriously wanting.
