If these games are your cup of tea, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader: Make the Grade is a good choice for families with children of different ages, because everyone can play in the multi-player modes. This is nice for families looking for PC games that can teach and entertain at the same time.

Despite Obsidian's fan-service, Fallout: New Vegas is a heaping pile of bugs.

Promising some great new features and customizable gameplay, it just doesn't do much to improve on the basics-- which is the essence of the game. In fact, the best thing about the game is not the play at all, but rather the commentary.

If you enjoy blowing stuff up and pretending to be in Hong Kong-style action movie then Dead to Rights: Reckoning is your game.

Repetitive action keeps the game from being a genuinely satisfying Hulk game on the GBA, but there are also many good things in the game’s favor that shouldn’t go overlooked.

The fleshed-out features and kiddie concept help make this game appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers; however, there is just not any pizazz or hook that really keeps the game going. This game is essentially not very innovative and it becomes boring very quickly.

Like the movie and graphic novel that inspired this game, 300: March to Glory is ultra violent and interesting but as a game it just doesn’t offer enough variety to be much fun for long.

While it’s not a horrible hockey game, it just doesn’t come close to being as good as past entries.

The tutorials should appeal to newcomers, while experienced players will wish there was a little more to the overall experience.

While there are no glaring problems or errors in this game, neither is there much fun, which is the point of gaming, after all. Best for die-hard SpongeBob fans.

Circle of Doom represents a different path from the rest of the series, but without the strategy elements that made the original games so fun, this entry feels like a repetitive button-masher more than a standout entry to the KUF franchise.

The shooting mechanic is passable, but aiming is excruciatingly slow. The morale mechanic is pretty forgettable.

New fashions and new items for your retail stores. This is decent stuff but not exactly groundbreaking for the franchise.

A good game, but in a world where only "great" games are worthy of taking your money, "good" just isn't good enough.

For reasons I don't fully understand, this game is less tolerable with a group of friends than it is when you're playing by yourself.

If you can't wait to get your hands on the next installment of the gotta-catch-'em-all franchise, Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs might just be the right kind of diversion, though you might want to get that wrist brace handy for drawing circles on the touchscreen.

It's not overwhelmingly difficult – this is a good thing for younger audiences – and it doesn't tread new ground, so what could anyone take away from LEGO Harry Potter? Well, the ability to play as primary characters such as Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Lupin and the boy who survived, Harry Potter, is almost enough to recommend a purchase.

The gameplay is somewhat lacking, more because of the limitations of the medium, than the game itself.

This game is fun until you try to move. Rent the movie folks. It’s scarier, and shorter.

In all, it’s going to please a young gamer, which is the point. I fear that the lack of replay value will not keep them coming back for more, which is a shame.

A typical side-scrolling game with platforms you have to jump up on and objects to obtain to test your ability to jump and dodge.

While there isn’t anything really new or different, the overall package is fun and is a good choice for family fun.

From the controls to the tracks, MX World Tour is a very barebones and plain presentation of the world of motocross racing.

An average diversion. It is not too-quickly played, but can provide some enjoyment. The pluses outweigh the negatives in this game.

Overall, Batman: The Brave and the Bold is a little too short and simplistic to guarantee any mass appeal, but I got a kick out of its family-friendly approach to Batman and his DC brethren.

Games like these are more fun when actual prizes are involved. Still, there’s a decent variety of activities for the game show enthusiast.

Just slightly above average.

The frame-rate issues make this game a chore to play.
