The humor and characters are appealing, and the gameplay, while not too easy, isn't so hard that the kids can't play.

The lack of direction is what really kills the game, though. With the generous health points, numerous save spots and easy to defeat enemies, this would seem like a game targeted toward kids, but the lack of more detailed information on the gameplay isn't kid-friendly.

A little bit of "Final Fight" and "Devil May Cry," and an even littler bit of "Prince of Persia," Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is a must-have for MK fans. It's repetitive – what did you expect? You fight the same enemies repeatedly.

A very good game overall. It could have used more interesting mini-games for replayability, and also more educational trivia, but the game itself is a hoot to play and will involve the whole family in the mystery. Much better than the last game, "The Secret of the Old Clock."

The game has charm. The look and sound are nicely done, but the game is just too short and does not present any major or innovative challenges.

I didn't expect a remake, but these are some bad-looking games. I mean it – compare 'em to the games of their era and you'll discover that graphic quality has been an issue from the beginning.

Terrific graphical elements play against gameplay that is simple to jump into and get to the business of battle. This game is entertaining and challenging.

Really easy to pick up and play. The controls are very easy and responsive. The mini puzzles that are presented to the gamers are easy enough to understand yet still provide a nice challenge.

An adrenaline rush so pure you’ll swear the race is real.

Yet another game to add to the list of brawlers we will inevitably forget.

Not only does it look amazing but it plays just as fluidly and as gorgeously as the big boys do so do yourself a favor and pick this one up right away.

Although not a completely revolutionized title, Burnout Revenge adds so much in terms of game mechanics, it has quickly become my favorite racing game of all time.

Ash is a great character and this is one of the better $19.99 games out there but without Bruce being on board the way he needs to be, the game is sorely lacking that special something.

The thing that is wrong with this game is that it is getting caught up in the technological limitations of the system.

Scooby-Doo Unmasked doesn’t re-invent the 3D platform-gaming genre but is a fun-filled, if not short, game that will make please fans of the cartoon.

You may have to work to unlock the bonus games and more difficult tracks, but there is something about this game that will compel you to do so, playing some of the levels over and over until you accomplish the deed to advance.

Still a bit of rather tasty eye candy, Desert of Flames takes the game further down that amazing graphical path it was already on. The combat changes are major and a bit of a risk, but they do make the game a bit more challenging and require more thought than merely running into combat and swinging a weapon or casting a spell.

Depths of Darkhollow adds a lot of new content to explore. Its also built on the long-lasting EverQuest interface. It handles well, but like any game there is a learning curve for new players.

It's easy enough to learn the moves, and the tutorials at the beginning are fantastic.

The awful camera and lack of diversity within each level is where the game really falls flat here. It's so bad that it gets in the way of the action and thus ruins the best platform bits in the game.

While the mystery aspect is pretty cool, the platforming is mundane. As this is the bulk of the game, it defines the game.

The game-play isn't any fun, mostly because of having to play the same area again and again, because Danny can't jump. He dies and the level has to be re-played. Not fun. Also, the levels have a sameness about them.

Power Ranger games for the GBA have been a lackluster bunch, but this game is better in terms of design, which makes it a bit more fun than its predecessors.

The online interface is a little cumbersome, and the game does have some load times. Get past that and you will be treated to a wonderful hockey experience that sparkles with smart AI, terrific control schemes and great action.

It feels pretty clunky for a fighting game, and only those die-hard One Piece fans will claw their way through this title.

NHL 06 has a lot going for it, but before the developers could design a multitude of great features, they first had to design a multitude of great control and gameplay mechanics. They had that covered, added the appropriate tweaks, and have taken the game to glory.

The game moves at a slower pace, with a lot of cutscenes and dialogue advanced to get players through to the action. The game does have charm though, and the battle is handled very well indeed.

Where Rebelstar Tactical Command really shines is in the wonderful way it supplies gamers with information in a lucid, logical and thought-provoking combat system.
