Although primitive-looking at the surface, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 really delivers everything a fighting fan could want. Buy it and enjoy it, no questions asked.

If you’re a diehard Bionic Commando fan, there’s nothing that will stop you from buying and enjoying this one. For the rest of us, it feels a little mediocre given what similar titles are offering these days.

This is a fun, challenging and entertaining game that offers just the right type of gameplay that Bubble Bobble/Bust-A-Move fans expect. For the rest of you that have never played a game in the series feel free to get your space suits on because Space Bust-A-Move is a blast!

Despite the underwhelming Road to Ruin deleted scene (I guess it was deleted for a reason), the multiplayer maps are great.

Aliens in the Attic is built from an established blueprint, but it dilutes its best elements to the point of sterility. Young children may enjoy it, but if you’re old enough to walk to school, this game won’t do enough to keep your interest.

Wii MotionPlus doesn't disappoint. The tiny, $20 peripheral (you get one free with the game; the rest are sold separately) is everything it's cracked up to be - when placed in the hands of developers who know what they're doing.

At the price point of $60, The King of Fighters XII is a hard sell to anyone outside of the fanbase. Renting or borrowing is the best entry point for the series as a blind purchase may lead to one angry gamer.

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

‘Splosion Man is a solid action-puzzler that will provide hours of entertainment, and delighting characters.

I challenge anyone to find a more amusing, engrossing, delightful, captivating, or just plain fun game than Little King’s Story on the Wii or any other system.

If you came into this review expecting to hear about a shoddy children’s game, you’ll have to look elsewhere. G-Force is delightful family entertainment.

One of the better kid-specific action titles. But like so many movie-based games, G-Force is very repetitive.

The new music really adds more flavor to the Rock Band franchise. Best of all players will be able to get all music at a reduced price in-comparison to downloading each of the songs separately online. If you enjoy Country music then this purchase is a no brainer.

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. It also captures the feel of Alan Moore’s brilliant graphic novel but this alone can’t save the game from being too mediocre.

When looking at this game, players will see a decent movie stuff with a sub-par game. The movie in this compilation really outshines this game.

Some decent variety in the mechanics and a fairly amusing premise aren’t enough to save Garfield Gets Real from its monotonous and absurd level design. Very young devotees may find it a briefly amusing adventure, but this really feels more like an advertisement that someone is expecting you to pay money for.

The game has certain elements that give it surprising depth and replayability.

If you can put up with the repetition, there’s some fact-filled fun to be had here. This is definitely a game worth renting.

NCAA Football 10 isn’t really a huge improvement over 09, but manages to play as a more polished and complete experience, thanks to great new features like Teambuilder and Season Showdown.

The game’s setup and interface are excellent, but the game falls down in some areas, notably the AI.

Ransom of the Seven Ships belongs with the best of the series, and is definitely a must-have for any fan of the series.

Battlefield 1943 is a blast to play, and does a fine job of taking the basic mechanics of the Battlefield franchise and capitalizing on them. Sadly, the game is awfully low on content, with only one online mode, 3 maps, and 3 classes.

It's not the game it could have been. Fans of The BIGS 1 will come to this game with high expectations, and unless those expectations are as simple as the addition of a season mode (or something equally minor), they're going to be deeply disappointed.

Far too complicated for the casual player and not meaty enough for the military nut.

It's a short ride, and not something you'll probably be playing time and again. For what's there, Chapter 1 certainly delivers an adequate adventure for a classic hero. It just seems like something new could have been done with it.

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.

Certainly a more enjoyable Potter game than last year’s Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince for the Xbox 360 still doesn’t quite manage to be a great Harry Potter game.

Before playing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, you should first be a huge Harry Potter fan. Second, you should have a high tolerance for backtracking and mini-game repetition. Third, you must be able to enjoy a game that isn't challenging (some players just can't do that).

This latest Harry Potter game is fun enough, but isn't that wonderful a gaming experience. It is pretty easy, and is probably best enjoyed by people who just want to relish the world of Hogworts.

A quick and original puzzle game that quickly becomes repetitive.

Bound in Blood is not only an improvement but also a fun shooter with a lot to offer. Although the game does suffer from a few problems, what really stand out are the great story, bullet-fueled action and excellent multiplayer mode.

By far, the best game in the Call of Juarez series.

While the game itself is better than the original by far, the western aesthetic isn't as fresh as it once was. If you're not interested in the multiplayer then this game will probably feel short and empty.

Not a bad title, though a bit on the repetitious side. The game does have some personality and the combat can involve a bit of strategy.

There’s a lot going for Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs that works. The main reason why a gamer should invest in purchasing Dawn of the Dinosaurs is that it’s a great adaptation that looks and plays well.

A family-friendly, kid-targeted action/adventure that's packed with variety. Ice Age fans will love playing every stage.

Easily one of the best children’s games to come along these days. A nice array of gameplay mechanics keeps the gameplay exciting, while the multiplayer modes ensure hours of additional replayability.

Ice Age: Dawn of Dinosaurs had the basics of a great movie-based game but fell a little short on its controls. However, if you are a fan of Ice Age, you will still enjoy this game.

A great fighter, and definitely one that fans of Guilty Gear will want to check out.

Who would have thought a 2D side-scrolling fighter could look this amazing on a next-gen system. Well, obviously ARC did and they delivered with the heir apparent to the Guilty Gear franchise.

It’s hard to call it a “game” at all, really. Rather, it’s a clever and fun toy, one that uses the DS’s technical capabilities for unique and addictive effect – fun for those who “get it,” but utterly pointless for those who don’t.

What Droplitz lacks in personality and originality, it makes up for in fun, addictive gameplay. Unfortunately, bit of repetition and a lack of multiplayer keep this one from dropping into must-have territory.

With a solid new counter system, a great Legacy mode, and incredible graphics, Fight Night Round 4 is one game that no boxing fan will want to miss out on.

Graphically, the game is stunning, and while there are a few stumbles along the way, nothing truly detracts from the strategic enjoyment one gets from this game. This is a wonderful step-up for the franchise.

Technically impressive, The Conduit benefits from graphical prowess and solid controls, but falls a bit short.

A solid blend of RPG and tactics combined with the series’ trademark atmosphere and bizarre story elements, Devil Survivor should not disappoint hardcore fans of the franchise.

This is a weekend rental game only.

While not a bad game, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has its share of fun moments that manages to shine through the game’s many weaker elements. The campaign is rather lengthy and that’s a good thing but then again there’s not much variety either.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen could have been an amazing game, but control problems - among other missteps - ruined this game.

Revenge of the Fallen for the PS2 is a considerably flawed game that could have been fun but just doesn’t cut it as an action game featuring the Transformers.

A considerably flawed game from start to finish, the PSP version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen just disappoints in every possible way.

Some decent variety, but a lot of bugs can bog the experience down.

Some decent variety, but a lot of bugs can bog the experience down.

Sure, it can overload the senses with cuteness but in the end it will win you over with its enchanting style and satisfying gameplay.

Dawn of Discovery will probably be the best game to come out of nowhere in a long time. If you don’t give up on it due to its story mode, you will get many hours of fun out of this title.

While the flaws from the original are back and the game doesn‘t break any new ground, Overlord II is still a delightfully enticing and addictive game about being evil.

I really can't say I recommend this title, especially when Dynasty Warriors 6 is sitting on the shelf right next to it. Unless of course, you're a Dynasty Warriors fanatic, and want to get a new take on the series.

Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires had nice-looking visuals, but the strong point was its great beat-em-up combat. At the very least, it is a good quality game for the price.

Overlord Minions for the DS has all the right ingredients that make up an instant puzzle/strategy game classic but its problems hold it back considerably. Had the touch-screen controls actually worked better, this would have been a real Must Have DS game worth the money.

Great for those who have yet to experience the Overlord series. Everyone else should pass.

Even though the game has some technical issues, Point Lookout still provides some great new environments to explore. You will want to be pretty experienced before taking the plunge, however, as this journey isn’t for newcomers.

My Healthy Cooking Coach isn’t big on entertainment, but it accomplishes what it set out to do. A healthy, personalized cooking coach that feels mostly like a digital recipe-reader won’t win any awards, however.

The Little League has never looked this good. Given the amount of fun you can have without getting caught up in a bunch of complicated mechanics, this is a great pick for casual ball fans.

Overall this is a pretty good package, that despite some glaring faults still manages to be pretty entertaining, especially for young baseball enthusiasts. Youngsters will respond well to the cartoony graphics and arcade/casual style of play.

Played as a single-player game or with a hunting party composed of friends, this is Monster Hunter game that gives even the console original a run for its money. Unite doesn’t really change the story introduced in the last Monster Hunter game but there are more missions and extras to make this a much bigger game.

There’s little to complain about with Dawn of Discovery. Anyone with modicum of interest in strategy or city-building games should have a go at it; such an enjoyable experience should not be overlooked.

An unparalleled simulation game for a handheld machine.

The game was made with a definite sense of appreciation for the original films, and stands well against any other action game out there, even without its license. Sure, it's got some problems, but it's still everything a true fan could hope for.

Ghostbusters fans will finally get a game worth looking at. It did take a while, but it is finally here. If you aren’t a fan of Ghostbusters, don’t worry. This title will be considered one of the better games for the Nintendo Wii, and anyone will have fun busting ghosts once again.

You don’t have to be a fan of the movies to really enjoy Ghostbusters: The Video Game but if you are you are in for a very pleasant surprise.

While this might not be the absolute best version of the Ghostbusters video game, it’s still a heck of a lot of fun. PS2 owners with a taste for wrangling spooks, specters, and ghosts shouldn’t hesitate to pick this one up.

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.

Spooky ghost hunts, intense battles, and rewarding captures all make Ghostbusters one fine gameplay experience.

Even those smile-inducing, polished-to-a-shine graphics and enjoyable multiplayer modes do little to alleviate the ennui Roogoo Attack! inevitably conjures.

Though flawed, Flower, Sun and Rain offers perhaps more than one would expect from a game certain to be remembered as Suda's rookie effort. The story is shockingly original and fearless, and the game's style is irrefutably Suda. It's just a shame there isn't much of a game beneath all the ideas.

Guitar Hero Smash Hits isn’t much of a progression for the series, so seasoned vets looking for something new will be disappointed. However, newcomers who didn’t pick up the series until last year will get the most out of it.

Smash Hits is certainly not for the die-hard GH fan that probably already has all the releases from which the song list was culled; however, for those who got their feet wet in World Tour, this is a great revisit to songs from earlier releases now configured for entire bands to play.

The shooting reticule isn’t responsive enough for quick-draw events and oftentimes the video clips jump enough that you’ll miss your shot. On the plus side, the undertakers in this game are a hoot.

Anyone who enjoys humorous adventure games on the line of Sam & Max will definitely enjoy Wallace & Gromit Muzzled.

There is nothing particularly new or fresh about this title, but it still manages to be entertaining to a wide age group. Hardcore gamers might find this a little too juvenile in its approach, but younger players and rookie kart drivers should find it accessible and fun.

MySims Racing has some customization elements that keep it in line with the other MySims titles on the market, but the racing is pretty lackluster, and the lack of variety in the missions isn’t likely to hold your attention for very long.

Let's Tap is one of those games that had the potential for greatness but ultimately couldn't achieve anything above a Wii remote feature we didn't know existed.

This is a great game; if you’re looking for something to play with your friends this is definitely a buy.

It’s smart, stylish, offers tons of fun for your money. The developers should be lauded for their efforts on every aspect of the game.

I am a fan of this title, because it moves the series forward in a positive direction even if some other things are sacrificed.

Prototype has a ton of potential, which some solid mechanics and a big world to explore. Unfortunately, that world is ultimately gimped by weak missions and rough combat.

Its a virtual toss up between this and inFamous, both are great games, but this one has a decidedly more adult feel to it. Did I mention the copious amounts of blood?

Class of Heroes won't be the game most RPG fans drool over, but it's worth playing if you love dungeon crawlers, don't mind the repetition or unfair difficulty, and embrace the idea of investing several hours in a game whose experience rarely changes.

It does a lot of things right and tells a pretty good story, and if you’ve been a genre fan since the early 90s then it’ll definitely bring back great memories. Still, Black Sigil is frustrating in many ways, and if you aren’t familiar with the games it takes inspiration from then you probably won’t find much to enjoy here.

If you're a Wii-only player without other options, Virtua Tennis 2009 is worth a few swings; otherwise, you might want to rent it and leave it at that.

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.

Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits offers an interesting new gameplay feature with Fan Requests and a new tracklist. However, the game’s fundamentals are still exactly the same, meaning that if you aren’t a fan of the On Tour mechanics yet, then this one won’t change your mind.

Rock Band Unplugged is a great addition to the Rock Band series, offering a refreshing rhythm game mechanic that feels very comfortable on the PSP. Even though the game lacks multiplayer, the DLC feature should help give this game some legs in the future.

The entertainment value of Go Play Circus Star heavily relies on if you have friends and family to play with. There’s no online multiplayer to keep you playing when there’s no one to invite over. So if you have kids or siblings, Go Play Circus Star is an adequate rainy day distraction.

Lumberjacks is an average game for the Wii that kids will probably find amusing for short gaming periods, but one that no one else will find compelling. Best for families with children.

This is an excellent starting point for this tennis game and will give both hardcore tennis fans and casual gamers a great gameplay experience.

The new putting system and the US Open add some great new challenges for fans of the series, giving them plenty of reason to invest.

Another small leap in a good direction, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 delivers another stellar game of virtual golf that is sure to please dedicated Tiger Woods fans.
