The plot is clever but the game seems to miss the mark when it comes to production value, I think with some better dialogue and voice work we may have had a sleeper hit.

Need For Speed ProStreet is barely a worthy sequel to the last 3 strong releases from EA. Mediocrity bleeds through the edges in almost every aspect of this release.

The game play doesn't quite match up to the caliber of the graphics.

A surprisingly solid squad-based shooter that relies just as much on tactics as brute force.

While there is nothing that compelling about it, it's a decent enough diversion into light strategy, and may fit the bill for someone looking for a strategy game that focuses on American history.

People who don't mind redoing puzzles will enjoy the mental challenge, but others may become bored or frustrated and quit.

There’s more than enough compelling features on this one disc to warrant a purchase, especially if you’re the kind of person who puts those extra few controllers to use as often as possible.

There are a few problems, namely with the camera and the confusing nature of the mini-games, but on the whole this is a game that parents can be sure will please the kids, and offer the parents something, as well.

A must play for anyone who likes tennis games. Hot Shots Tennis has done for this sport the same things it did for golf – bring out the essence of the sport and leave everything else behind.

Pushes the pedal to the metal but it runs out of speed way too quickly. It’s a game with all the right elements to give "Twisted Metal" a run for its money but as it stands this is really just a simplistic racing game that could have been a lot better considering the power of the Xbox 360.

Much of the humor is geared towards younger ages, but there were still parts that I, a hardcore action and violence gamer, chuckled at.

If you can overlook the disappointing realism and focus on the tight multiplayer, NHL 2K9 may be worth a rental.

It won’t blow the minds of anyone expecting a true NASCAR or Mario Kart experience. But if you enjoy the latter and want a fun clone of that franchise, NASCAR Kart Racing is one of the best made for Wii.

Madden NFL 07 for the DS offers a ton of features, touch screen support and wireless play to make it a solid portable football experience. However the frustrating AI, learning curve when using the touch screen and blocky 3D graphics slows the game down.

At 1,000 Wii Points ($10), Jett Rocket's price seems a little steep, but it's a worthwhile adventure for anyone who can appreciate a solid platformer.

It’s not the sort of game that’s to everybody’s tastes, but for the old-school gamer who’s finished Contra 4, Legend of Kage 2 delivers a dose of good old-fashioned platforming action. Don’t worry if you don’t have nostalgia for the original — Kage 2 deserves to be played based on its own merits.

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. excels at nearly everything it tries to do, and provides great replayability for long-term flyers. An improved campaign will make the sequel a true beauty.

An entry to the Guitar Hero series focusing on the history of one band is a risky move, but fans of Aerosmith should enjoy this retrospective.

Tries to be different and succeeds, but its repetitiveness keeps the fun from being both fresh and stimulating.

You may have to work to unlock the bonus games and more difficult tracks, but there is something about this game that will compel you to do so, playing some of the levels over and over until you accomplish the deed to advance.

The gamer interface is awkward and does not allow for, initially, a quick grasp of the program.

Slightly better than Kimmunicator DS. Well-designed elements include non-frustrating platform moves, minimal fighting and interesting gadgets.

You don’t have to be a Naruto fan to like this game but if you are there are enough goodies here that will certainly not fail to please.

The game will certainly have some charm for younger players, but there are a few challenges to overcome while playing it. Even a 13-year old was surprised and confused when the game changed control options, moving from WASD and arrow keys to numbers, during one section.

The ideas are there, but they have too many issues to be considered a drawing point.

Order of War: Challenge feels more like a foundation than a complete experience. It’s polished and has plenty of options for setting up games, but questionable troop-types and the lack of advanced, tactical features keep Challenge in the shadows of other RTS games.

Enjoyable, addictive fun. The special effects are excellent, and the game features some of the standard elements of Game Boy RPGs, but does a very nice job of providing a little something extra.

Fuzion Frenzy is actually worth playing with your friends. Not just for laughs either, but for the entertainment value. It's hard to believe, I know. But this game is a blast.
