A great game for gamers looking for simple action, a good mix of enemies, and steady progression through the game.

Aside from a too-sensitive TILT mechanism, there's some good family fun to be had, here.

The game does provide a challenge, but unlocked characters from GH 3 should have rolled over into this title. And while there is a great list of songs here, others that might have provided a little more variety to the compendium of the band’s best songs of all time are missing.

Kung Fu Panda might have some swanky Panda style moves but the wonky controls get in the way of the action. Yet the multiplayer was a pleasant surprise that could keep gamers playing for hours.

Like the films from which it draws inspiration, WET is an unapologetically sordid exercise in blood, sex, and rock ‘n roll, a made-for-popcorn slab of flawed-but-fun action gaming. And that’s more than enough for me.

Not bad for 20 bucks, but when I think of the hassles of going back and fourth between disks, I would just rather play another game compilation or fire up a console.

Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy does do some things right in terms of the graphics and sound quality. The overall concept isn’t that bad either, but some of the finer points such as the tasks that need completed could’ve definitely been dulled down a bit. This game is, however, an absolute must for any astrology buff!

While not as brilliant or as stunningly beautiful as other first-person shooters already available, TimeShift is still a fun shooter that plays up the action rather well. Despite a disorienting story that will leave gamers confused by the plot, it’s the action and time-manipulating gimmick that will hook gamers in long enough to see it through to the end.

A decent adventure game for families and teens, but it’s not as good as other games in the series.

There’s tension and frustration, but a good balance of each. Brain busting obstacles are easier to handle - when the journey is laid out in a good format. That objective is mostly achieved.

Real Soccer 2009 is a fun and solid soccer game that works well within its handheld format. However, the game’s lack of an official license for real teams and it’s relatively slim presentation of game modes are marks against it.

The controls are easy but the static camera angle will cause a problem moving around in the game.

I am a huge fan of Quake and enjoy a game of Diablo every now and then. But neither Quake nor Diablo held my interest for as long as Zax has. The reason: it just plain rocks.

Plagued by sound that's not so good and a very challenging difficulty level, this isn't quite one we'd expect to wear the Ferrari name.

This is truly a niche game. I would not recommend it to someone that does not know a good deal about hunting/fishing. There is just too much to know about the delicate ecosystem with wildlife and hunter's needs to just wing-it for some casual fun.

It is such a shame to see this game not live up to its full potential.

While this game may not be in quite the same category of some of its major competition, it is still a solid, well-designed game that will give gridiron junkies a quick football fix.

Repetition aside, however, there's no reason why kids won't be all over this one. Shrek SuperSlam is slap-happy fun for everyone.

The first five games in the KOF series are faithfully duplicated for the Wii in all of their glorious, if not aging, splendor. But gameplay is really the key for any fighting game and this collection will not disappoint in that regard.

Mana Khemia 2 is a step up from its predecessor, but it still doesn't live up to the series it spawned from (Atelier Iris).

While it’s nothing groundbreaking, the action is solid, mission objectives are varied and interesting, and the enemies are intelligent enough to make for some intense sequences.

The only thing that really kills the gameplay is the drop in framerate, which can kill the action onscreen at times.

Hats off to Ubisoft for taking a step in a completely different direction.

Fans of games such as H.A.W.X., that rely on fast paced arcade controls might find Apache a bit too slow for their tastes, especially with the odd omission of competitive multiplayer. Still, it manages to fill a void in a genre that combat flight sim enthusiasts haven't yet experienced on next-gen consoles.

Super Mario All-Stars on the Wii is not a bad compilation by any means. The included content is solid and offers a good look at the early years of the series. Unfortunately, everything in the bundle is fairly predictable and doesn't exactly shine for a momentous benchmark like this.

Average graphics for most of the game, indistinct sounds during combat, and a difficult targeting system are its only flaws.

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.

There is plenty of action, strategy, and stealth involved during the entire course of this game, without the tediousness of collecting all of the resources.
