A fun family experience that tests showbiz and movie trivia, supporting it with solid clips and graphics. This is a party game and/or a family game that while it would appear to be a niche title, actually should have broad appeal.

Controls play a big part of why I liked the gameplay. Scrat is a heart-warming character that anyone would become attached to.

Die-hard fans of the sport will immediately pick up on some of the deficiencies, but those can be overlooked due to the overall package.

The controls are good but the camera angle was always an issue after a cutscene. Waiting several seconds to correct the angle is not a welcomed featured.

Devilishly fun for the first couple hours. Hours three through ten, however, tend to drag on.

I'm sure that I'll have the urge to beat it again in a year, and then again in five years. But aside from playing the co-op multiplayer mode, it'd be tough to get me to come back any more frequently than that.

A good game that really lacks inspiration.

Might not be the definitive Terminator game but because of its variety in gameplay and old-school shooter action, it’s certainly the best one available thus far.

Fun for awhile, but with not much variety in the gameplay it can get pretty stale.

Fantastical creatures abound in this RTS, but ultimately fail to capture the essence of Tolkien.

The single-player game is sorely lacking in several key areas, and the online game, while fun, does require a lot more effort on the player than say ... (insert favorite game here).

The next best thing to Pokemon ... when Pokemon still rocked.

QuickSpot’s only flaw is its own unique concept. Like it or love it, there isn’t as much of a “game” in QuickSpot as you might find in other puzzlers.

The game has taken some big strides forward but there are a few issues that prevent this from being a home-run ball.

There's no added features save for Xbox Live support, but the game proves itself to still remain addictive, challenging, and enjoyable even after all these years.

RTS fans and newcomers alike can pick it up, play it, and enjoy it. Accessibility is its greatest asset, and while there’s no denying the fun, there is little to call “outstanding,” either.

There’s enough violence in X-Men Origins: Wolverine to please comic book fans.

People who are a little more partial to straight up racing games will enjoy the jumps, mud, and craziness of Rally racing with some great game modes, great graphics, and a fun arcade style feel.

Force Unleashed can be frustrating, and its flaws get in the way of having a good time far more than they should. But while it might not live up to the hype and expectations, it is one of the better Star Wars games out there, and a decent action game in its own right.

The Digimon racers are delightful and the whole atmosphere is upbeat, light-hearted and visually pleasing.

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

There are issues concerning the pace of the races, the lack of interactivity, and the less interesting Piston Cup competitions. But if you liked the movie and want to get your kicks on Route 66, check out Cars.

Atelier Annie is a fun little RPG that will definitely appeal to fans of comedy animes – it’s got a cute story and a bouncy, energetic style and tone. It’s not the most substantial RPG the DS has to offer this holiday season, but younger players and those looking for something a little different won’t be disappointed.

I liked it for the good looking eye candy, but simply was not challenged, MMX has lots to celebrate but fails to really turn heads in terms of originality and innovative gameplay.

Battle Chip Challenge plays a lot like an electronic gambling machine; hardly interactive but fun all the same.

Elements of the RTS and fighting genres will turn heads. But some will complain about the over-simplicity.

The game is a real doozy when you have friends over who are willing to play, otherwise the single player is a real letdown.

Step & Roll is a “step” in the right direction since the game is embracing the other peripherals available for the Wii. There are plenty of gamers that have the Balance Board sitting around collecting dust and now Monkey Ball is an excuse to get it out. However, just take a deep breath and remember that the sensitivity and accuracy might be too much at times.
