Varied alien races with different needs and requests means each play through will require different strategies, giving the game a great amount of replay value.

Its Story mode and chess pieces at least give chessboard strategists something unique to look at and you can even play against others online. Chess fans will also find something of a challenge here so you will definitely want to play this game.

The controls can be a little frustrating, but this game played well.

This is a nice enough game for the young crowd, and the gameplay is easy and not frustrating. The mini-games are a lot of fun, too.

The game would benefit immensely from a playable tutorial and adjustable difficulty settings. Dairojo! Samurai Defenders is daunting, to put it mildly, but if you're up for a lesson in tough-as-nails tower defense, then get your katana ready.

The song selection is actually not bad at all but the game modes could have been a bit more exciting than the ones found in this game. Still, you cannot go wrong with this one, karaoke fans.

If the single-player portion only holds your attention for a while, the multiplayer part has enough to offer to make you want to come back from time to time. It's a great way to kill a few minutes, but you will probably not play it for hours on end.

Dirk controls very slowly and the jumps are imprecise enough to cause migraines. Plus the combat system is nothing more than running straight at a Giddy Goon swinging your sword around.

The songs are decent but just are not that long and the idea of the artists being ‘legendary’ is fine in most regards, but some of the songs selected to highlight that status hardly live up to the title.

This game is a solid collection of mini-games with a complete Story Mode and addictive multiplayer; it’s just more of the same, however, and in need of a facelift.

While certain issues are there, such as the lack of battling random people online or the slight framerate issues, other promising features have risen from the destructive ashes of rebuilding a franchise.

More development time ultimately might have done wonderful things for this game, but Singularity is nonetheless fascinating if you actually take advantage of your full arsenal.

As a wrestling game it is average at best, but as a fighting game it walks the line between average and good. "Real" wrestling fans will probably be disappointed because of the controls.

There is little beyond point and click here. No attempt at motion control at all.

AC2 Legions is about average for the genre, but the interface is a bit clunky is places, especially when compared to the recent heavy hitters like "World of Warcraft" and "EverQuest II."

The controls are amazingly easy to get used to. It might become a bit repetitive or bland to some who aren't big fans of fast-paced action alone though, so go into this one with an open mind.

If the whole goal in gaming is to delight the senses, entreat the mind and provide hours of pleasant game experiences, then The Outforce succeeds.

The tweaks and changes are definitely appreciated, but there's really nothing here that couldn't have been done in a patch to improve the base game.

Due to the games short supply of play modes, Pumped and Primed suffers from a disappointing degree of lasting appeal.

It may not be the 3D Pokemon game fans have been crying for ever since the N64 era, but its own take on the "gotta friend 'em all" formula can be just as addicting as catching them.

CivCity follows an old model for a city builder. If you are a fan of the Pharaoh series, you may find a home here with CivCity: Rome. It focuses around the economy rather than any type of military action.

If you get burned out on repetitive action and don’t like paying Coop only online, then you may want to skip it and see what the next FPS game coming out will be since you will probably find it to get repetitive and may lose interest after a short time.

Due to the slower paced action, I would recommend this to people like me who were big fans of WWF Warzone back in the day, and don’t care as much for the faster, arcade style gameplay from Jakks Pacific.

It is arena-driving, shoot-‘em-up action, but the game fails in the department of chills or thrills.

Players will be able to tell that this game had a low budget, because almost every area of the game needs improvement. Even though this is the case, this is an extremely fun game to play with your friends just because you want to kill everything in sight and protect humanity from extenuation.

A neat title to have if you really want a LOTR title that brings a little more to the game than just what you saw at your local theater, but missing parts, changes to the story, and some technical and gameplay issues cannot be overlooked while playing it.

If you’re a diehard Bionic Commando fan, there’s nothing that will stop you from buying and enjoying this one. For the rest of us, it feels a little mediocre given what similar titles are offering these days.

Gameplay features such as the One Shot Indicator and color-coded shot meter work brilliantly but it is the juke, spin and crossover moves using the SIXAXIS controller that wins big points. Unfortunately, the game is plagued by a few bugs.
