Clearly the license in which it is derived from is a complex and engaging one, but maybe there was just too much bitten off here.

X-Blades may prove a pleasant enough distraction for hack-and-slash gamers thirsty for something new. Repetitive gameplay and bland design keep it from becoming anything outstandingly great.

FaceBreaker’s gameplay is pretty simple, meaning that gamers of all types will be able to get into the game and feel comfortable with the controls very quickly. However, the overall experience does feel a bit shallow and might not hold your interest for very long.

This game is in the right direction with great style and production values, but ultimately the mini-games are too few and the game mechanics are severely under par – Your reflex should be to save your money.

Easy to control and jump into, the game itself suffers from missions schemes that are not out of the ordinary. The missions are of the ‘been-there-done-that’ variety.

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

This is one of those rare games that keeps you so involved that hours go by in seemingly minutes.

The levels are simple, but there is enough challenge to keep you interested, though older gamers may finish it too easily.

As a diversion, Strike Force Bowling is an average title that has some stumbles in terms of animation, but otherwise captures the physics of the sport.

Simple and straightforward without being on rails. Rebel Raiders is quick, cheap, repetitive action that'll get you through in a boring weekend (and other days when the repetition wears off and you have the desire to play it again).

Scene It? features plenty of movie trivia factoids to keep cinemaphiles happy, but a dearth of features (no online play?!?) and the availability of other, better trivia games for PlayStation 3 makes me doubt that this was ever intended for the big screen to begin with.

The interesting story and plenty of great character options make this a solid RPG with a lot to offer.

You cannot add cards to your deck without winning them in a long series of duels, so it wouldn't even be useful for trying to run tournaments, other than having people bring their decks on a memory card.

Younger gamers out there will definitely have a good time and won’t find themselves getting stuck or frustrated too often. Unfortunately, the older and more experienced younger gamer out there may find this title to be somewhat dull overall.

The boss battles are another frustration since you can never actually hurt the boss at first. You have to throw something at the boss several times before the boss is weak enough so you can attack it.

Another licensed movie game of lackluster quality and play-value. Although being true to the feel of the films, the gameplay is dreary and the control scheme is unrefined.

American Conquest: Divided Nation doesn’t do enough to warrant a purchase outside the fan base that may be already established.

Just about the only thing that makes this a somewhat interesting title is the Create Track mode that allows you go get as creative as you want ... and it’s easy to use as well.

Although the some of the features show promise, War Times ends up being just another run-of-the-mill RTS.

With a weak story, awkward puzzles and a cliché environment, Alida makes for one weak adventure game experience. Not only that, but everything here has been done (and much better) a decade ago.

This is one of those racing games, which is as much fun for a die-hard racer as someone who just enjoys the challenge of racing itself.

There is very little satisfaction in the gameplay and completion of levels-- which is what games are all about.

While the historical battles can feel appropriately fierce at times, A Nation Divided is too short and flawed and with no multiplayer mode there’s not much here shooter fans will enjoy.

Cook or Be Cooked doesn’t quite ascend to culinary greatness, but the core elements are surprisingly well-executed. Given more time in development, this could become a truly impressive franchise.

The technical departments, the visuals and audio, bring this ship down before it even left the port.

Namco Museum Megamix isn't a bad compilation; it's just simple, safe, and a bit uninspired.

In some respects, The Adventures of Darwin effectively mirrors "Pikmin"’s unique style. But it comes up short as a PS2 strategy game.

Instead of a cute Japanese character I'm forced to look at a Buzz Lightyear reject.
