Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland is a light, colorful adventure that's easy enough to jump into but with combat, alchemy, and 14 different endings to unlock, is also layered enough to satisfy many standard JRPG subscribers looking for something a little different.

Battle Nexus is not the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles best effort but if you're looking for a slightly better version of the game I suggest you forget the console versions and pick this one up instead.

An average game with some promising gameplay. It's too bad you have to pass the boring parts to get to them.

Sometimes the trips down memory lane are better off left as memories.

Yes Armada 2 is good, but when it gets bad it’s plain ugly. You gotta love it.

The game looks great, plays well, has a solid soundtrack, is user-friendly, and is enjoyable. What more could you ask for?

This may not be the prettiest game, but it plays great. It's a little mellow, yet still very addictive.

All action as the gameplay is fast and intense. The controls are great; the gameplay fluidly switches from land-based mech combat to airborne fighting without a single hiccup to the flow. However, the mission structure can get a little repetitive before too long.

The environments are big and interactive, adding a lot to the gameplay dynamic, and the pace of the races is challenging and engaging.

The Hardy Boys are having a good time on the Royal Express, and so will any player who picks up this game. History buffs will especially appreciate all the little details on the train and the surrounding locations of Europe. A nice portable experience with two well-known young sleuths, Joe and Frank Hardy.

A fun and truly original jaunt which breaks the mold of combat racing titles.

The graphics are better suited to a PlayStation or hand-held system, and the audio track is not up to snuff, considering what can be accomplished with this system.

Long and addictive, if you let Pirates consume you, it will.

Barrow Hill is another solid addition to the point-and-click genre. The genre will never go away, especially with quality titles such as this one coming out.

Harvest Moon DS: Island of Happiness is not an unplayable game by any means but the horrible controls simply keep it from being a fun game.

If you have never really been a fan of this genre I urge you to give this one a try. It’s a breeze to play and will have any armchair General screaming Charge!

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

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.

A neat gaming experience for young kids, who will enjoy the feeling of success, instead of the all-too-often sense of frustration as they attempt to play games that are too difficult.

A lot of promise mixed in with failed execution is what riddles Aliens vs. Predator.

The multiplayer action does manage to offer a satisfying experience that easily overshadows the rather dull single-player experience.

Multiplayer for the minigames would have made a great addition to extend the replay value of the game.

As a port, The Sims 2: Pets isn’t anything out of the ordinary. But for a new audience, there has never been a better time to try EA’s mammoth sim series. It’s just as deep and addictive as before – and now comes with a superior control style that only Wii can deliver.

Quantum of Solace is a fun and exciting Bond title that has some truly engaging situations and pretty production values. However, there are some ugly issues, like poor AI and a buggy cover system, that keep it from truly being a truly great shooter.

Far from perfect, the game comes on strong with enough realism and excellent control to shake a bat at.

The stories are good, the voice work is strong but the investigating parts in between tend to get a little tedious. Even with all the cool CSI crime fighting tools.

And the major trouble with this program is lack of feel for both the recommended club selection and the recommended stroke guidance.

If the controls weren't stiff, and if the combo system wasn't so generic, I probably would have loved this game.
