The only real sticking point with Spyro is a seeming ultra-sensitivity to the controls.

Plagued with various imperfections, TransWorld Snowboarding does not rise above its problems to be an extreme sports title worthy of a snowboarding aficionado.

I wish I can say that this is the closest to online gaming heaven you’ll ever get but it’s small faults are just too hard to ignore.

The action can sometimes be too scripted and some levels lack that intensity of the PC original, but we're still looking at a fun time at the frontlines.

The controls for playing this game are really easy to use and work really well. The only thing is if you just slightly move the stick to the left or right during a swing it could cause havoc on your shot just like real life.

Top-of-the-line entertainment – a must for anyone who wants a deep, satisfying, and puzzling challenge.

With the addition of weapons and improved A.I., the puzzle-based combat has more potential than ever, but Puzzle Quest 2 lacks the challenge and depth that made the original so memorable.

With its great tutorial mode, DDR Universe is a fine entry point for those looking to get started with the long-running series. Also, the new quest mode and massive songlist will make it worth picking up for series veterans.

What FreeTime offers is good stuff. The clubs are nice but the real benefit is linking neighborhoods and terrain modification.

A shorter, linear-style action/adventure, but its varied gameplay makes it a clear-cut winner. Tak fans are going to be thrilled with everything but the length – the younger crowd probably won’t be bothered by it that at all.

The attention spent on level design at least returns to being above average, even though the detail within the environments isn't up to par.

PES 2009 is an improvement over last year’s game, albeit a very minor one. If the PES franchise wants to stay competitive against FIFA, they certainly have their work cutout for them.

Just when you think you have seen it all, here comes an Expansion Pack that more than doubles the original Game!

The problem is that while the moves are smooth, the response time of some punches can be somewhat delayed (shades of "Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing") before they make an actual contact.

If you're looking for a mech title that isn't quite like most others out there - or just a fun action title, perhaps - do not pass this up.

Fans of the Robotech series should be highly impressed. Others … well maybe, maybe not.

The AI is sound for single-player games and the online capabilities are truly amazing.

The only problem with this game is that the AI is not the smartest.

While the great multiplayer battles falls a bit flat thanks to a poor framerate, the single-player mode will have you deeply engrossed in its more than 100 addictive levels.

It cannot be said enough, though: My Lord?! 2 isn't for the weak-minded or uninitiated. It's directly catered to hardcore gamers who have the patience and willingness to come back for second and third attempts at completing a stage.

Had the controls been a bit more responsive for the ship-flying portions and the robot smashing just a tad more smoother, we would have had the perfect robot action game this side of "Metal Arms: Glitch in the System."

Extreme Justice is a worthy sequel to the first Pursuit Force but it’s far from a perfect game despite a few new additions and improvements. Still, its fast pace and action-packed missions will keep you more than busy from start to finish.

Gamers new and old school, Namco Museum Battle Collection is the closest you’ll get to finding a time machine and going back to the days when games were simple but still downright addictive.

A big improvement over NBA Live 07 (or 06, for that matter), offering some great features and cleaner gameplay. If you’ve been waiting for the next-gen iterations to catch up with the current-gen versions, then this is one to get.

Though it is best suited for the hardcore strategy/RPG crowd, it's hard not to recommend Yggdra Union to everyone, as it is one of the most engrossing, challenging and unforgettable RPGs released in a long time.

The learning curve is high but don’t let that discourage you from picking up Ultimate Ninja 2. My favorite portion of the game is the Ultimate Road story mode; it provided a real purpose to finish the game.

Given the right direction, FlatOut could one day compete, maybe even overtake, the games that inspired its creation. But first it’s got a lot of growing up to do.

A great first-person shooter game for the Nintendo Wii. The aiming is very precise, which makes this game even more fun to play. If you have a craving for this type of game, then this should be a no-brainer.
