While the majority of the gameplay is pretty shallow, depending on repetitive jumping puzzles and weak combat, the two-character mechanic works well and collecting the unlockables throughout is very fun and engaging. The camera can be a pain.

The game moves at a slower pace, with a lot of cutscenes and dialogue advanced to get players through to the action. The game does have charm though, and the battle is handled very well indeed.

If you overlook a few key areas you might find a game that offers something a little different than the standard turn-based strategy game.

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.

A slightly above average children's platforming game that delivers a fair amount of fun. Its good points are that it is an easy and enjoyable gaming experience, its negative aspects are that it just could have been so much more, while yet maintaining its ease of play.

Actually playable, not too hard on the eyes, and pretty darn fun for those of us who hold to our classic fantasy movies despite the passage of time.

I personally found that the mixing of a building and designing game with an arcade feel was a lot of fun, and one kind of broke the monotony of the other.

Microids did a great job putting together a well-written and scripted mystery to solve, and those of you who love the “whodunit” shows, books, and movies will probably have a good time with this one … despite a few flaws.

It has enough going for it to keep it enjoyable overall, and the hard challenge in later levels and difficulties can be part of the fun for some.

It works, but we have a sense of been there and done that. What keeps the game interesting and compelling is watching the growth of the main character.

An out-of-control fighter experience never before seen on the PSP, but problems in the game design may confuse and irritate gamers.

Currently the best poker game currently in the market, but I would still hold out for something better (Hopefully "Stacked").

This would have made a great Expansion Pack to the original DTR game, but offered far too little new to have been a stand alone game.

After all the expectation that was built up over the course of a year waiting, this just plays a lot like the same old PAIN.

A relatively short game, SWORDS is imminently accessible by gamers of all ages.

As another PS2 sports title that’s been upgraded (marginally), not redesigned, those who purchased last year’s game need not add this to their collection.

First-person shooter heaven for Xbox owners. With a decent single player story mode complete with a great supernatural twist and equally wonderful visuals and sound, the action is thick enough to sink your teeth into it.

Tactical combat in World War II with a realistic flair is Squad Assault: the Second Wave’s claim to fame.

A typical RTS with some atypical races. It would be a nice introduction to the newcomer to the genre, and veterans of this mode or warfare will find it challenging.

The fact that the developers were able to incorporate so many different gameplay styles into the game and making them seem completely fitting and natural is a nice accomplishment.

The game has some amazing graphics and a style that is hard to match. If you've never played a Viewtiful Joe game and you want a quick experience then RHR is a good place to start.

This game scores big points is in the cerebral zone. This is chess, pure and simple.

Kids that enjoyed the movie will probably enjoy playing, although parents may want to check out Kao 2 instead, which while not a better game in technical terms, was just more fun to play in our opinion.

It would have been nice to have more modes of play, but what is offered here is an improved over previous Wii iterations. Still, for a nice arcade-like take on the FIFA franchise, this Wii version does a nice job.

It's by no means an original experience, but it still manages to entertain from start to finish. Army Men fans are going to love it.

Despite the occasionally erratic opponent AI and the small framerate stutters here and there, this is still a solid game of hockey. The game modes are decent enough with 3 on 3 Countdown being one of the most enjoyable.

Collision detection problems, too dark color palette, and boring objectives are the main problems. However, even a jaded reviewer like myself can find a lot to like with SpyHunter.

Fusionfall is an ambitious idea that may not have hit all the marks, but this is a solid first effort in an untapped market - a children's MMORPG.
