Bangai-O Spirits is one of the toughest, craziest, most variety-packed titles you’ll ever play.

Players will love the new features in this game and will come to long for them if they pop in an older game for nostalgia sake.

While the main modes feel relatively the same, this year’s gameplay is a clear indication that this franchise is getting closer to perfection.

Discovering which control system works for each player can be a little difficult at first, mainly due to a lack of information on choosing the advanced controls over the easier All-Play methods, but there are choices and people of all skill levels will enjoy playing a game of football on the Wii.

It’s the Placebo of the brain-games genre. Like other treatments, results may vary.

If you’re desperate for Wordmaster, well, this is the game to get. But there are so many better word games on the DS that this one is barely worth mentioning.

For Homestar fans, this is a no-brainer, but if they’re the only ones who play it, it’ll be a shame — the only thing you need to enjoy it is a sense of humor. It’s a great beginning to a longer adventure, and absolutely worth a download.

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

And while it might be visually unassuming, Braid offers players an experience (and a message about life) that few games have ever dared to offer.

Monster Madness: Grave Danger is an improvement over the XBOX 360 title, but still has some kinks. The story is lacking and I can’t really see gamers being drawn into it again for a second go around.

This Nintendo DS version isn't anywhere near the quality (or originality) of the console versions, but if you can accept it as a good racing game and not another version of GRID, you'll enjoy it very much.

What I love about Little League World Series Baseball 2008 is that the games are short enough (6 innings, true to Little League) and fun enough that you can pick this game up and play it time and time again.

Little League World Series Baseball has its moments of greatness, but it is often plagued by gameplay issues that obscure its full potential.

A game, literally for the casual gamer. No one is going to be chomping their nails off in order to play it, but it has its moments.

It’s simple, really. King of Clubs just isn’t any fun to play, and in an industry obsessed with making money at the consumers’ expense and developing safe-bet hit software, developers would do well to take note: video games should be fun.

There’s no excuse making controls overly complicated on a system who’s audience wants a game that’s easy to pick up and play. Recommended only for the most hardcore Olympiads.

Link’s Crossbow training and Ghost Squad offer more in-depth gameplay and more fun for a similar price.

L:HoG has promise, but there’s nothing new to see or do here.

Soulcalibur IV plays a risky game by reducing the gameplay speed, rehashing characters and failing to introduce any game-changing mechanics. One-on-one multiplayer makes it entertaining, but if the fighting genre is going to survive, Soulcalibur V had better deliver a game of a much higher caliber.

SoulCalibur IV doesn’t stir up the pot too much, offering mostly the same gameplay as previous entries. Fortunately, the franchise has it down to a science, and the addition of online play further sweetens the deal.

Spectral Force 3 is a throwback to older days from the genre, but feels a bit too antiquated and uninteresting to be recommendable.

The content is solid and the gameplay fun, and the inclusion of social strategy planning is innovative. However, for an expansion, there isn’t a whole lot new or different.

A mediocre adventure game that may offer a few hours of enjoyment to some. Much of it is illogical or unexplained, and the voice-acting is hard to get past.

A solid baseball game for the Wii that is lacking in what the Wii does best, Motion controls.

Women's Volleyball Championship gets a 1.9 for (1) not crashing, (2) loading properly, and (3) having a frame rate that was, while far from praiseworthy, tolerable. Sort of.

Easily one of the worst FPS I have ever played, and the fact that the game is so short is a second slap in the face. The first is making you feel like you were getting a game that would put hair on your chest.

What the collection lacks in extras it makes up for in value, as there is no better (or cheaper) way to get your SNK fix on the Wii.

SIREN: Blood Curse has a few problems with the gameplay, but is generally better than its predecessor and is a pretty chilling experience.
