The most fun I've had with the SimCity franchise since SimCity 2000.

Like the grindhouse action flicks of the ’70s, Wet is a wild ride packed with enough blood, bullets, and ridiculous over-the-top action to make it worth your while.

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

If the fun NHL 2K9's developers were trying to bring back lies somewhere around the gameplay of Ice Hockey for the NES (the king of pick-up-and-play sports), they surely missed the mark.

Though it sets up nicely with a strong storyline, it really just becomes another mission-based shooter game.

Just realize you absolutely must use a gamepad and you will have a lot of fun.

The game is far from perfect but it’s easy to look past the flaws when the game is too fun to even want to put down.

With a value price and sentimental value for long-time Castlevania fans, Castlevania Chronicles is a must have to the collection for fans of the series. However, outsiders to the following may not be very impressed by the older-looking graphics and gameplay – even with the minimal upgrades of "arranged" mode.

This is more than a reflexive challenge – it requires that you understand the essence of the program, and then apply that knowledge in order to succeed.

It doesn’t bring anything new to gameplay, but considering DA:O’s battle system was already pretty darn good, no one can fault them for not trying anything new.

It's a shame that there were so few Nintendo themes and so much of only a few genres.

The humor is much more appealing to younger players, but the graphics, sound and action combine for an entertaining, if not irreverent, trip into Shrek’s world. While good, this game translates better, control-wise, on the home console platforms.

Provides challenge and entertainment. It looks different than other next-gen Tony Hawk titles, but that fits the style and charm of the game.

Monsters vs. Aliens is a great family-friendly rental. It's the kind of game you'll enjoy alongside the movie – but not necessarily a game you'll want to play through more than once.

While the mini-games can be pretty fun experiences on the go, the basketball element needs a lot of work here.

Shark Tale isn't the colossal adventure it could have been, but it's got what it takes to please the kiddies. Think of it as a graduation from Mario Party. If that series has become too easy for your child, this game is the next step up.

SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 brings us a hearty collection that isn't bad at all but it's just not presented as good as it should have been considering the console’s track record of doing justice to other classics.

Glory of Heracles is a workhorse RPG that doesn’t do much to stand out against far superior RPGs on the system. The story is uninteresting, the gameplay is bland, and the whole affair is far too easy.

Nights: Journey of Dreams delivers a second dose of the classic, 2D meets 3D gameplay that made the original Nights a success. It has its share of flaws – the lack of innovation is surprising, and the motion controls are the worst of the bunch. But as a whole, Journey of Dreams is a great adventure.

With the addition of some interesting modes, features, tighter gameplay and Xbox Live support this one certain beats the PS2 version.

Fun and nostalgic, Ghost Squad delivers hardcore action at a sweet $30 price tag.

What the game brings to the fore is intense, hard-driving racing, great graphics and solid sound.

The free-form style of play keeps things fresh but don’t go into this one expecting to be blown away.

While the game is successful in some areas and downright creative in others, Active Life: Outdoor Challenge is not be the most entertaining or most beneficial way to get in shape.

Aside from the plentiful missions, deep Map Editor and challenging opponent AI, the gameplay makes for some fun moments with your Stylus.

Flawed, but easy to learn and occasionally inspired.

Sure the story is extremely weak and the boss battles prove to be more of an annoying distraction rather than a challenge, but it is, overall, the best conversion of a brilliant N64 game on the GBA.

As the long-awaited remake to a 2D classic, Defender had so much (perhaps too much) to live up to.
