Unless you really love Dynasty Warriors or have never played the series before, you’re going to be disappointed and probably bored.

This is one of those games that is very familiar, but still entertaining. Loki treads familiar ground, but still manages to provide a treat for those who enjoy a good old-fashioned hack ‘n slash.

Not for everyone. There may be players out there who will think this game was made for them, but as a fan of RPGs and select party games, it's hard to tell who those players might be.

Ninety-Nine Nights uses the Dynasty Warriors formula to perfection, having no glitches, a steady camera, and seamless attacking. Perfection is then lost by the formula; a game structure that has players jamming on the X and Y buttons from the moment the game begins.

This is a bit tedious at times, but graphically it is reasonably well done.

A decent title which will probably appeal to fans of games like "Wipeout" or "Quantum Redshift," plus some of the "GTA" thugs out there like me will enjoy it as well.

Everything about this game is solid. Unfortunately there is nothing about it that will knock you into next week.

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie’s standout flaw is that it isn’t very exciting. It should’ve been with its Zelda-inspired combat, massive worlds, lots of scavenger hunting, etc., among other interesting and highly promising features.

For the price, it's an easy bargain. Each game lasts anywhere from 5-15 minutes, depending on how good you are, so it's not quite a five-minute hero, but pretty close.

Blood Bowl is a missed opportunity as evidenced by the potential of the source on which it’s based. If you really want to get into the depth and fun of Blood Bowl, you’re better off checking out the board game.

Shadow Ops hardly ever strays from its basic first-person shooter blueprint and that's what makes this a lackluster shooter, but the action is always of the pulse-pounding kind and that certainly counts for something.

Players will have to figure out the game's controls for themselves, with only a simple button map as guidance, but they'll soon find the learning curve bends in their favor, and and gamers will quickly accelerate from petty rankings to the top charts-at least until a higher difficulty knocks their confidence out of whack.

This game won't be winning any technological achievement awards in the near future but it does do a commendable job of staying true to the movie while keeping the action well-paced and intense.

Shaun White Skateboarding has the star-power, the kicking soundtrack, and the colorful world of grafitti-covered ramps, but nothing close to the attitude of real skateboarding. It's more interested in letting players fly through the air on magical rails than experience the joy of finally nailing a tough gap.

A wonderful cerebral exercise, and is also addictive and fun. There are some load times between scenes, the mapboards are not large, but this game is well done.

989 Studios's best release yet, but is still not quite perfect.

I am addicted to this game. I can’t stop playing mission after mission. The strategy is fun, and the graphics make it visually stimulating.

The eerie sense that you played this game several years ago. Old engine, old graphics, different packaging.

It is a challenging program, but lacks a fresh storyline and relies too much on the arcade elements.

The problem with Bloody Roar Extreme is that it gets by on the bare minimum. The gameplay is very simple and requires no skill.

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes doesn't stray far from the traditions of the genre, and is little more than the same old hack-and-slashing with new characters. Even so, I can't deny the short-lived joy of clearing out entire armies with a single character, juggling twenty men as my swords cut explosive streaks through the air, and watching the combo-counter rise with maniacal speed.

Wonderfully stylish.

The graphics are bright, colorful and compelling – as is the gameplay. Players will be drawn through the game by the brisk pacing and the fun that seems to be firmly ensconced in the style and feel of the game.

There’s a lot of variety to the levels and the teamwork aspect is pretty good but ultimately this is a portable action game that could have a lot better.

Scooby-Doo Unmasked doesn’t re-invent the 3D platform-gaming genre but is a fun-filled, if not short, game that will make please fans of the cartoon.

Fans of the first two Pac-Man World games will certainly enjoy this game that might not add a refreshing new take on the series but had enough levels to keep your hands busy for a few hours.

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.

If you aren’t playing Dead to Rights: Retribution for its silly good old-fashioned crime story arc, you are playing it for the wrong reasons. It may be a farce, but Dead to Rights: Retribution is the equivalent of a straight-to-DVD Dolph Lundgren or Jean-Claude Van Damme film.
