Trapt is clever, innovative, and left a lasting impression. I won't forget its accomplishments. I wish I could overlook its flaws, but the repetition is immense and the technical issues are inexcusable.

Four words: for young kids only. They’ll like the mini-games, appreciate the variety, and should enjoy the bright colors and cutesy characters.

The combat of Spyborgs is fun enough to fuel an arcade-brawler revival, but a complete lack of variety, length, and design ingenuity derails its potential like a steel-tipped boot to the jaw.

This game is an average collection of children’s mini-games. There are a few good critical thinking games, and a few fun creative ones, but the rest are mediocre. There are better edutainment games out there to get instead.

When all is said and done, the fun factor suffers from the repetition, and the game – while it fits the download concept well, and is a good arcade idea – stumbles in places that should have been shining moments. Arkadian Warriors is too much like Gauntlet, without the cleverness of the levels.

Give the dev team props for the look of the game, but detract points from the score for the repetition and lack of substantial game elements, like puzzles and story.

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

Unfortunately, the clunky combat mechanics, camera issues, and overabundance of Quick-Time Events make this a disappointing and unoriginal endeavor.

While the vibrant visuals, easily manageable combat and light-hearted mood might enamor some, Mini Ninjas is just too repetitive, short and bereft of features to make it stand out.

If only Lifeline was as good at recognizing words as it is at ignoring them.

Iron Man 2 is not a bad DS game, it's just not a terribly good one. The controls can be frustrating, and the whole experience becomes far too repetitious as you go along.

As this game is aimed directly toward young kids, the gameplay is very easy, even in the Normal difficulty mode... The fun factor needs to be increased, though.

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

Aliens in the Attic is built from an established blueprint, but it dilutes its best elements to the point of sterility. Young children may enjoy it, but if you’re old enough to walk to school, this game won’t do enough to keep your interest.

A mediocre entry in the crowded action field. While there are no glaring faults and the gameplay is adequate, there's just not much fun, either.

Graphically this game does not live up to Game Boy Advance standards.

This series has great potential, but it is ruined by the developers by not making it deeper. On the other hand, if you love to button mash, this is the game for you!

If you can put up with the repetition, there’s some fact-filled fun to be had here. This is definitely a game worth renting.

There's hardly anything original about this game, and the plot is tired and uninspiring. I'll still watch the show on TV, and save the game for my child to play in a few years (yes, it will be "retro" by then!).

Midnight Nowhere will leave you feeling like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Horror game fans will probably be able to tolerate the game, but others might have a problem.

The introduction of adjectives, multiple objectives, and D-Pad controls is definitely welcome.

The game’s AI seems determined to make a race out of it, even if that means slowing down cars for no apparent reason, thereby undermining the inherent challenge.

Although it was mostly a bore, the combat was ‘stupid’ enough for two players to take pleasure from watching the train-wreck.

Goes for the more is better crowd, and as a result ends up giving us a whole lot less. The gameplay consists of nothing more than sword-slashing and weapon-firing.

Very hard to recommend. It's certainly better than not playing Dead Rising at all but should not be considered for purchase. A rental at best, Chop Till You Drop isn't a game you'll play till you drop.

Superstars V8 Racing does not really crash or burn due to its flaws, it just bumps into walls and finishes somewhere in the middle of the pack.

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.

Yes, it’s hard to ignore things like brain-dead police AI or a lack of fun things to do in this surprisingly massive city, but some of the missions are actually kind of fun and the story isn’t bad at all.
