Has terrific graphics but suffers from clumsy gameplay.

Best suited for the Disgaea fan who loves the series solely (or at least primarily) for its gameplay, and for newcomers who will skip the story regardless of its quality.

One of the best things is that this game, even though it can be really frustrating, is suitable for the younger gamers that might be in your household.

Theatre of War will put energy back into the real-time strategy genre for hardcore gamers, but it may be too late to fully grab the casual crowd back into the genre.

With Madden 08 I enjoyed the Superstar Challenge the most since it allowed me to replay great games from last year in different ways. Visually the game is both solid and underwhelming at the same time.

It’s exciting, has a wonderful trick system, excellent courses, and all the addictive content the series is known for. It’s more of the same, and for the third time running. But unlike other series that just love to repeat themselves, this one is still really good.

It's a fun game that takes what you know about zombie games, bends it on its ear, kicks it in the shin and then pours malt-o-meal on its head as it laying there on the ground, good times.

A solid baseball game for the Wii that is lacking in what the Wii does best, Motion controls.

This is essentially the same as the DS version minus the touch and dual screen features. Unless you hold the games side-by-side as I did you won't be able to pick out many differences.

This is one of those games that is very familiar, but still entertaining. Loki treads familiar ground, but still manages to provide a treat for those who enjoy a good old-fashioned hack ‘n slash.

An enchanting journey, rife with clever graphics and a host of puzzles although it is built on a tired theme.

It has everything you want in your fighting games with the exception of online capabilities.

There are still a ton of controls in the newest version of the Battlecruiser series … but 3000 AD has done a good job in making them a little more accessible for things that you will do most often during the game.

At last, a game that features Superman and Batman that isn't awful.

The puzzles will have you thinking ahead or scratching your head as you try to reason through what looks to be right in front of you. The look of the game is solid, though the 2D presentation of the three-dimensional game can be a touch irritating at times – especially when you want to swing around to look at something and can’t. Still the game is true to the license and is a solid puzzle-adventure outing.

While it plays like the GBA version, the DS gets good multiplayer action worth the purchase price alone.

Failing to rise above its mediocrity, Destroy All Humans! is still a fun and original game gamers will want to check out when they're in the mood for something different.

The game can be repetitive at times, and it certainly wasn’t made for the action-hungry crowd. But if you to spend a night with the world’s most interactive museum, Battle of the Smithsonian is a fun ride.

An addictive, slash-heavy (but not button-mash-heavy) fighting game that builds depth from an unfamiliar place: simplicity.

The addition of character control and world exploration are a natural transition for the series. The picture is crystal clear, simplifying the act of card placement.

Some problems include awkwardness of movement for some of the characters, which can lead to losing health points, and also an unnecessarily complex password system, but the game in its totality is a good one for young children.

Kids will definitely enjoy building their own park and creating their own mutated dinosaurs down to the last detail and Dino Island allows them to do it all.

Next to the Orange Box, this is actually a sweet value title. You must like killing aliens, lots of action and the kind of game where it pays to go looking down deserted dark corridors.

Thankfully, an intense multiplayer mode saved this game and will have pinballers everywhere trying to find that score of 1 billion.

Players who enjoy RPGs will enjoy the dickens out of this title, but they need to be sure they have a really awesome system to run it on, and all the patches that go with it.

A surprisingly well-executed action game that actually comes close to being a nearly perfect first-person shooter on the DS handheld.

If you’re looking for a rousing time full of charm and humor, A Vampyre Story provides a tremendous amount of both.

A grand collection of inspired mini-games.
